Quietus. A word I found interesting. It almost sounds like a name Hideo Kojima and his writers would come up for a Metal Gear Solid boss. I bring you, Quietus.
quietus \kwy-EE-tuhs\, noun:
1. Final discharge or acquittance, as from debt or obligation.
2. Removal from activity; rest; death.
3. Something that serves to suppress or quiet.
I have put a quietus upon that ticking. Depend upon it, the ticking will trouble you no more.
-- Herman Melville, "The Apple-Tree Table"
