    Summary

    Five Pebbles builds a simulation and escapes reality as Monk.

    There she is: the Little Archeologist. Just as his sister had described, though much smaller. And he is the wayward animal frolicking in his memory arrays looking for his sibling, that bright yellow coat is unforgettable.

    And Looks to the Moon is there too, alive and well. The yellow overseers just as numerous as cyan ones.

    It is the picture perfect circumstance, perfectly engineered to be so. Not that he would know about the specifics anymore, deliberately so, to a project painstakingly crafted over 1.3 million cycles in his underpowered and derelict state. An escape from his predicament in a sense, if not from the Cycle entirely. A dream of a simpler life he was never allowed to experience.

    And experience life he shall, with both hands holding tight to this opportunity of his own making, kicking and screaming with the stalwart diligence befitting a former iterator, once on the verge of self ascension.

    Step aside, follies of his past. Monk shall enjoy life!

    Are you sure about being in a simulation, Monk?

    Oh well, the local iterator populace shall never be the same again.

    Summary

    -Maybe in every timeline, Aloy was destined to fail. Maybe, no matter how many chances she was given, she would never be able to stop bad things from happening to people just for the crime of existing near her. And by God, she was given chances. Too many chances. Maybe that’s why people were only ever supposed to have one.-

    (OR)

    -Aloy is injected with a failed FARO tech that brings her back to her body after she dies, and Aloy is intent on making lemonade from limes.-

    Summary

    Like sleep, like death, you wake again. Whether you want to or not.

    Five Pebbles’ initial projection for the progression of Rot within his can turns out to be wildly optimistic. Just twenty cycles after Seven Red Suns’ messenger arrives within his structure, the Rot reaches vital systems, and he dies.

    And then he wakes.

    And wakes,
    And wakes,
    And wakes,

    Summary

    After setbacks from every corner: from the hardware to the software to the political, Five Pebbles is finally online. The Administrators can rest, the Engineers can toil at their leisure, the Citizens can continue ignoring the new god beneath their feet, and the Iterators can get to know their newest member.

    This, naturally, immediately veers sideways.
