Has "Broken Lines" been mentioned yet? If so, good job!

Title trouble again - Crimson King - 11-11-2009
Since it's a Jack story, I expect the super virus (choosing the word "Super" seemed important) to operate in a manner not expected by The Order. The child, as hinted will do the same. To tie these two together I was thinking of:
- Unexpected Failure (I believe I saw this one)
- Off the Grid (as more of a target at the virus, but I can see there being some meaning towards the child; the child isn't part of this world)
- Propagation (one of the key traits of a virus is its ability to replicate itself, and the child will have propagate evil)
- Cacophony (It's my favorite word, and I figured why not)

Just simply one word,
"Calamities"

I'm late to the party, but I don't think this has been suggested...
Downtime
(though based on FPW's recent feedback, it might not be scary enough.)

fpw Wrote:A lot of good suggestions here. Unfortunately the most germane do not make a gripping book title, and the better titles aren't always germane. Although appropriate, for obvious reasons I'd like to avoid "code" titles.
The ones that have struck me so far are
CYBERCLYSM
PENUMBRA
OMEGA POINT
I also like DEATH BLOW - it sounds so thrillerish.
I support Death Blow for the Seinfeld reference. Penumbra is a great name because it reminds me of this amazing psychological horror game for PC.

Ouroboros
[INDENT]...an ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon swallowing its own tail and forming a circle.
The Ouroboros often represents self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return, and other things perceived as cycles that begin anew as soon as they end (compare Phoenix). It can also represent the idea of primordial unity related to something existing in or persisting from the beginning with such force or qualities it cannot be extinguished. The ouroboros has been important in religious and mythological symbolism, but has also been frequently used in alchemical illustrations, where it symbolizes the circular nature of the alchemist's opus. It is also often associated with Gnosticism, and Hermeticism.
Carl Jung interpreted the Ouroboros as having an archetypal significance to the human psyche. The Jungian psychologist Erich Neumann writes of it as a representation of the pre-ego "dawn state", depicting the undifferentiated infancy experience of both mankind and the individual child.

[/INDENT]Inspired by this: Pondering Ouroboros.
And that's it for me. That's the best I can do. Maybe. Probably. *sigh*
