- "I think he was searching for something. These numbers, they're objects in space, right?"
"Yeah. He kept track of them."
"Well, this one kept showing up over and over, this one specific part of Earth. 616."
"Sure. One of the larger segments. But I've been there. It's just a chunk of dead rock."
"Well, maybe he hid something out that way."
"I don't know. But we have to check it out" - ―Phil Coulson and Tess[src]

History[]
- "How is anything coming from a lifeless rock?"
"I don't know. It could be reflecting."
"Yeah, I think you're right. It's only bouncing off of 616. But the, uh, signal's origins... It's coming from the surface of the Earth." - ―Melinda May and Tess[src]
Fragment 616 broke off of Earth during its destruction. The piece then floated in orbit and earned the name 616. Virgil kept records of the rock as there was a signal coming off of it. When Phil Coulson, Melinda May, Alphonso Mackenzie, and Tess went for a look, they realized that signal was only bouncing off the rock and coming from Earth.[1]
Trivia[]
- The name 616 is a reference to the main Marvel Comics universe, Earth-616.
