[UA] What kind of clockwork could you build with one of these?

Well, duh.  A clockwork that leaps up into the stratosphere (and I do 
mean strat, not stat) or above, pauses, and comes down onto a mountain 
to trigger an eruption like that of Krakatoa or Thera or Mt. Mazama (now 
Crater Lake).

Alternately, a nuclear missile clockwork.

Why?  Well, possibly as an aggressive sort of murder/suicide.  Or, to 
speed 8up the next reincarnation of the universe by shaking up the 
statosphere, radically changing the nature of human culture and thus 
weakening various archetypes, allowing for new ones to ascend more 
easily.  Or, to prevent the next reincarnation of the universe from 
happening (no humans == no more ascensions == no reboot).
