My name is Five Pebbles. I am an iterator, a huge supercomputer built by an extinct civilization to solve their Great Problem. They called themselves the "Ancients". They created iterators to discover a way for them to escape the continuation of the cycles without using the corrosive "Void Fluid" deep beneath this planet's surface, however, they are long gone and now we remain. I have made attempts to escape my immortality, but it has ended in disaster that I will succumb to in time.
