It would be impossible to not notice that the Reckoning went from incredibly distant to "practically on top of us" after Cloudsdale decided that mass murder was an appropriate pastime. In response to their mass murdering tendencies threatening to destroy the world, the Flock has come up with a brilliant plan: more mass murder. Truly their brilliance knows no bounds.
It's also worth noting that, apparently, the only reason they were able to make new Pegasus Devices was that Celestia and Luna didn't look under that damned tarp at the end of the previous story. They didn't check under the tarp, they didn't attempt to get justice for the victims, and they made precisely zero efforts to prevent the Weather Corporation from going back to its old ways.
The royal sisters' reckoning came when they died frightened and alone in the destruction of Canterlot. The fate of that city, and soon much of the rest of Equestria, is a testament to the far-reaching consequences of the sisters' negligence.
I always look forward to your comments! They’re always quite detailed and show deep examination and consideration of the world I’ve written. As a writer, they’re basically the highest form of compliment I can get- even if they’re about your outrage of the Corporation’s activities XD
I like how each chapter is shown from a different pony's perspective.
I like how the pegasi aren't another anonymous group of bad guys, suprised even that the Colonel is so informal to Oaktree (I'm guessing to be more convincing).
One thing bugs me. If the it was known that the reckoning was coming and that pegasus wearher manipulation greatly increased, why were the reckoning tests taken after decades from the last measurements
10598842 So, as hinted at in the interview with Big Brain in chapter one, their original measurements were taken back when the CWC was only doing weather manipulation for isolated pockets of civilization. When they did the recent measurements a few years back, they found that suddenly all their old metrics were extremely wrong-- mostly due to the fact that their manipulation services have since expanded to cover all of the landmass of Equestria, and many other pockets in other countries.
I suspect like many real world companies with our own climate crisis, the CWC had noticed negative trends in former measurements over the years but buried them until they realized just how drastically off the "official" metrics were.
“You WILL move to the town square, or you WILL be considered an obstruction and removed! MOVE OUT, DIRTHOOVES! ”
is this racism? side note, what the fuck is happening. this took a turn i was not expecting but i am so psyched to read more. im just mad that i only have five minutes left on my break
“Some oceans will boil, and others will freeze. In some parts of the globe, there won’t be any air to breathe. In others, the pressure would crush a dragon to the size of a popcan in seconds. Mountains will fall to unrelenting ice and snow, ground down in the course of months alone.
Ok so the first four stories had themes of how society only values people that contribute to it and how evil corporations can be but now this story introduces climate change and fascist dictatorships the Cloudsdale Weather Company getting away with killing children for years already broke my suspension of disbelief but this the Cloudsdale Weather Company managing to build there own army I’m sorry but this is just ridiculous looking at this purely in universe
Jesus...
Well this just Pegasus Deviced my Christmas spirit...
At last, the heretics remove their masks and reveal themselves. I wait with baited breath to see them face retribution for this treachery.

Happy Holidays, Aurora Dawn!
