The Calamity
The first name. Given by a world long gone, terrorized by terrible monsters great and small for generations as it slowly decayed into lifeless rock.
Tesseract
The beating heart in the center of the Calamity was given this name as it was torn free of the chrysalis of desiccated rock that had once been a world of it’s own.
Jenova
The name it gave to Arnim Zola when he awoke the long slumbering beast, and it began to whisper its secrets to him. Although he could not understand the language being used, it was still able to convey enough to him that he could sample the energy oh-so-freely provided.
Hypercube
The designation given by Howard Stark once it was pulled from the depths of the ocean. It slept once more and would not rise to answer Zola once he worked for S.H.I.E.L.D.
That did not mean he didn’t use what he already knew.
Mother
Oh those beautiful lost little children… preparing the way without even knowing it…
Jenell Avon
The newest. The point of contact.
The need for the stone husk is gone.
It— she walks free upon this world where she has slumbered for millennia.
The countdown to Armageddon has begun.
