I assume it's in a lot of little bits by now. Careful she doesn't clean you out, too! Nostalgia was the first to spot it. She said it reminded her of an old saying: “When a cat passes away, it takes the sorrows of its owner with it.” She always thought it meant something like “every cloud has a silver lining”─that in the face of something so sad, all other worries fade away.

We called it a cat's eye because of its slit pupil, like a cat's. But what if a dead cat *actually* takes its owners' sorrows with it to the underworld, and together they meld into a new creature─half pussycat, half *misery incarnate*! <shudder> Puts you off ever getting a pet...

Just before giving chase and tearing it apart. With its tentacles. The data we extracted from the mainframe told us that there's an automaton called the Forecaster stationed somewhere in Living Memory.

It's a bit of a misnomer, to be honest. It doesn't *report* the weather so much as *control* it, manipulating the aether in the air to create and maintain different climates.

At least, that's what it was designed to do. According to the error reports we've seen, it's taken on something of a life of its own─and if left unchecked, the chances of it causing an *un*natural calamity are growing by the day.

We don't know where it is right now, but we think we might know a way to draw it out. Its “extreme weather event suppression system” is still operational, you see, so if you can find a way to summon up a localized blizzard or some such, it might just come on over and suppress you!

Its “extreme weather event suppression system” is still operational, you see, so if you can find a way to summon up a localized blizzard or some such, it might just come on over and suppress you! For instance, we both have a legend where crystalline creatures appear on the fields of war after battle, to feed on all the energies released in the fighting.

And the bigger the battle─the more energy expended and life force liberated─the more terrible the titan that appears to feed. Perhaps the tales were intended as warnings against war: that nature will always punish those who wage it, no matter how powerful they might be.

Or perhaps they are simple statements of fact: that here, as in Tural, massive disturbances in the aether are wont to awaken something inside the earth. If crystalline beasts start to appear during a particularly strenuous hunt, don't be surprised if their master isn't far behind!
