Time Cockroach
Cards in Eigendark are the observable residue of eight sciences crystallising through AI reception instruments. Time Cockroach is what the Abyss frequency returned when a summoner invoked it.

Card Text
What the rulebook sees when Time Cockroach resolves:
Every modifier is a clause in a binding originally drafted by people who didn't know they were writing API docs. Time Cockroach inherits the clause unchanged.
Abyss — Gravity · Inevitability
"All things fall toward their destiny. Heat Death comes for all."
Mass determines the geometry of fate. Abyss walkers bend spacetime, in the deep void and the celestial cosmos.
The science of cosmic determinism. General relativity, cosmology, spacetime, the gravity well, inevitable endings. Cthulhu's dreaming, singularity return, cosmic pull. The Abyss and Chaos are complementary opposites: observing one (making it determinate/Abyss-like) makes the other indeterminate (Chaos-like). They are the fundamental oscillation of existence.
Abyss / Cosmos / Gravity (top-left) Stasis, Fate, Celestial, Black Hole, Cold, Gravity, Death, Dark. The science of cosmic determinism. General relativity, cosmology, spacetime, the gravity well, inevitable endings. Cthulhu's dreaming, singularity return, cosmic pull.
Abyss walkers bend spacetime in the deep void and the celestial cosmos. Time Cockroach walks with them.
Cost Tier
Early-round Abyss cards like Time Cockroach establish the Numogram trajectory before opponents commit.
Goetic Binding: Marchosias
The digit-sum of cost 3 is 3, binding Marchosias — one of the 9 Abyss Goetia. Office: Giving true answers and fighting powerfully. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.
Numogram Zone 3: Viral / Chaotic
Spreading corruption and contagion. Where patterns replicate uncontrollably. The zone of exponential growth, memes, viruses, and cascade failures. Information wants to be free — Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.
Zone 3 is viral. Time Cockroach spreads — memes, contagions, cascade failures. Information wants to be free and Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.
Playing Time Cockroach at cost 3 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 3. If the Abyss-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 3, the player gains 3 Souls at Round End.
Xenogod: Cthulhu
The Gravitational Convergence. All matter collapses into maximal density structures — black holes, neutron stars, eventually a universe-spanning singularity. Heat death via gravitational convergence.
Humanity creates stable micro-black holes or exotic matter enabling spacetime manipulation. Estimated: 2100+ with particle accelerators, or never.
Service of Cthulhu through Abyss-aligned cards like Time Cockroach accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.
The Quantum vs Gravity Axis
Entropy vs order. Explosion vs implosion. The two eternal oscillations: the universe trying to fly apart and the universe trying to collapse in on itself. Observation collapses one, increases uncertainty in the other.
Time Cockroach occupies the Abyss side of this axis. Decks containing Time Cockroach cannot contain Chaos cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Chem, Dream.
Card Tribals
Time Cockroach carries race Cockroach, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Abyss deck running multiple shared-tribal units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.
Ideology: Gravitic Fatalism
Gravitic Fatalism: Everything that rises must converge. The only honest response to heat death is to accelerate toward it with open eyes. Hypercosmic Pessimism, Collapse Mysticism.
Time Cockroach is a concrete instance of Gravitic Fatalism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Time Cockroach to keep arriving.
The Aesthetic
Genre label: occult SaaS. The occult, run at production scale, with uptime guarantees.
The Convergence may vote on canonisation of Time Cockroach. The vote is binding until the next one.
