Metronome
From Paragon Wiki Archive
Overview
Metronome is a Praetorian entity encountered (directly and indirectly) in the story arcs of Alec Parson, Penelope Yin and IVy. He (?) is responsible for the Rogue Clockwork.
In Crossed Signals, he talks to the character directly:
- Character...You should not have come here.
- My quarrel is not with you, Character. It is with another.
- Leave this place now, or your fate will be to join he who is most deserving to die.
- You cannot stop me, for I am without number. You cannot kill me, for I do not live.
- I am inevitability, Character. I am the rhythmic tapping of Death's fingers upon the booming drum of vengeance!
- I...
- Am...
- Metronome!
And indirectly:
- Metronome Prototype: This doesn't involve you, Character!
- Metronome Prototype: This is between me...
- Sweeper: ...and Raymond Keyes!
- Metronome Prototype: He's going to pay...
- Sweeper: ...pay for his treachery!
- Metronome Prototype: He betrayed me!
- Sweeper: My work!
- Metronome Prototype: He stole everything!
- Sweeper: My life!
- Metronome Prototype: I will have my justice, and it will be cold and poetic!
- Sweeper: By the hands of the very machines he stole, his life will end as he ended mine!
