Description
“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 unnatural 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 somesuch, it might just come on over and suppress you!— Rinuri, Solution Nine
