John Brunner (? - ?) is a time-travelling forensic narrator.
Brunner was a first responder to the Pi disaster, and is widely credited with preventing the Pi catastrophe.
Brunner famously declined an invitation to join the Tuttle Expedition.
This was Richard Tuttle's attempt to "get to the bottom of it all" by seeking out the Pika in its lair.
Tuttle assembled a crack team of post-Cubists and early Abstract Expressionists, paying them handsomely to "Seek the Pik", as he put it, and the expedition descended in high hopes. But no one returned to tell the tale.
Brunner later wrote a book, Seek the Pik! (nonfiction), about the dreams and premonitions which led to his decision.
Brunner argues that Barragán and Le Corbusier have worked together in secret as a crime-fighting team, citing numerous coincidences involving the two men.
Brunner experienced the first known manifestation of Malleable Past, Useless Future.
