the creature in the cell woke up, he glanced around the familiar room, a puzzle that continued to outwit him.
Of course most importantly at this time it needed a name... Being trapped with one name for too long was a trap, people would associate you with that name, the name would become a concrete thing that can only mean one thing, locking its potential away. For this reason he would do his bit, provide freedom from any one name, switch it regularly for a new name, or occasionally for an old one...
A new name... Centipede. Doubtless some will look for hidden meaning, but there is none, it's just an identifier.
Satisfied, Centipede crawled to the side of the cell, he glanced out at the people beyond, and tilts its head to the side. Perhaps he would be interviewed today... that would be fun, and give him more information on how to escape...
