One of the major points in GR is that The Firm (aka "They") is
multi-trans-sans-national. And it has been around for a very long time.
Slothrop is one of Their long-term projects. He's not someone who's talent
has just been recently discovered. So the babe-magnet aspect is
interesting, but not the core of his talent. His talent is
rocket-orientation, with maybe an aspect Oneirine added (for time
manipulation) & Imipolex (the material of the future).
I think this all implies that the new apocalypse is not something that They
are looking to avoid. In fact I'd say they are rushing toward it at full
speed.
