Summary
Five Pebbles is frustrated. Frustrated enough to the point that his plan of circumventing his self-destruction taboo has almost reached completion, to the detriment of his neighbour and himself. However, at the literal last moment before the final, irreversible phase of his experiment, one that would have spelled catastrophe - he recieves an epiphany.
A bolt of inspiration. A (literal) brain blast, kicking him out of his tunnel-visioned plan and into the topic of construction. What if he could create a new iterator, one constructed without the taboos usually integrated within every section of one? A gigantic megastructure project of never-before-seen scale is what this implies, the single-greatest project undertaken within countless cycles, but Five Pebbles won't simply let himself get intimidated by its sheer scale. No, he was better than that. And he will still attempt it, regardless of the other iterators' opinions. They will all see.
FP: Looks to the Moon, I want to build a new iterator.
(in which Pebble aborts his 'experiment' at the literal last possible moment, nearly scares LTTM to death, and somehow unintentionally drags the entire local group into a gigantic group construction project)

Summary
"It's all about saving lives. More lives."
So says the Catastrophe Messengers' creed.
How naive. If only it were that easy.This story follows Apollo, a kitsune-turned-Catastrophe Messenger, through the many areas and aspects of Terra that individuals outside his profession never get to witness.
All while ensuring his own survival among an environment where nature itself is out for blood.Deadly anomalies. Dangerous wildlife. Tensions between factions whose effects cannot be avoided, even in the middle of nowhere. And a haunting past slowly inching closer, refusing to let go.
In short... business as usual. Time to get to work.
