Working on the principle that personal and cultural history are drawn by an eschatalogical attractor, an endtime which pulls events like a magnet, the Eschaton gun cut out the middleman by invoking the summational condition of the victim - usually a drift of ashes. Now and again, however, depending on a target’s future plans and fortune, it would transform the victim into an all-knowing, all-powerful, floating luminous doughboy. This all-or-nothing quality and the weapon’s flat ammo drum made it known to some as the ‘roulette rifle’.
