[X] Arkh

Eden believes it sounds neat, and i agree.

Or we could go with Ankh, it is almost the same word, it represents life and health, which ultimately is what the Shards and humanity want, to be alive, and we already stole Khepri from the egyptians, so why not that too, it even has relations with the cape names of the team, Panacea being the universal cure, Khepri with the egyptian name and rebirth thing, and Eden with the tree of life, which would have given immortality to whoever ate its fruit, being in the garden and because it was basically the birthplace of humanity.
 
[X] Arkh

I enjoy the Arc reference, as my other vote would be cenotaph.

plus, unlike Cauldron we are working more on saving folks rather then brewing up new things.

Can you tell me what is Arc? I didn't know it was a reference, it was one of the names KindredVoid suggested for Eve's cape name and i agreed that it sounded neat.

Biblical Hebrew/ General Bronze Age Tigris and Euphrates Flood Myth reference. The World has become Wicked, with people of great might but little wisdom ruling over everything. So YHWH/Enlil/insert major god figure here speaks to the One Righteous person (Noah/etc) to build an big old boat to survive the coming Flood with nature, and whatever people they bring with them.

In this case it is more an Innocent rather then general Righteous person, but that's just a different flavor of good person. The symmetry amuses me.

After all, there is already the Eve/Eden part to tie it to old Hebrew. And she is being commanded by a voice in her head that sees on a different plane to help construct some great working in order to save existence (Or at least the Shard's existence.) Given the allusions from the recovered memories of Admin, the chance of a successful Host/Shard rebellion against the Entities might be the best chance around to actually solve the Entropy Problem.

Oh, you were talking about the Ark, you wrote Arc, which is a very different thing.
