I was thinking about the characters Tetra and Mica when I realized that Tetra=Four, and "four" sounds like "for"! Combine those words and you get... formica. Formica is a Latin term used to describe a genus of ants, namely wood ants, and ants are closely related to bees, like the zil! Clever little thing! I can't help but wonder as to whether this was an intentional pun though. Perhaps I can use some Formica insulation to insulate myself from the inevitable backlash from this revelation/ stupid-coincidence-that-really-requires-going-out-on-a-limb!
Tetra and Mica... formica!

Probably intentional--as expected of Nonesuch to use clever puns, anagrams, and niche references as a naming convention for original characters. Tiny Easter eggs for the player's entertainment.
Oops, my mistake--I must have had Attica and Teron in my memory when I read the names. Too many characters and creators to keep track of! Despite that, I think TiTS has a pretty good running habit of making references on several corners of the game. Props to HugsAlright if the pun was intended though!I thought Tetra and Mica were written by HugsAlright.
