Prologue: Toomin (Ellimist)
If I had a body, I would have been smiling. The fool was wasting his time-and his opportunities.
Finally I struck. The meteorology of a remote planet would be altered for a tiny area, for a tiny period of time. A destructive tactic-my opponent would enjoy it.
He noticed, and was not amused. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
What does it look like I've done?
RUINED MY PLANS. DAVID! THE CHEE!
Generally, ruining your plans is my intention.
ELLIMIST, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING?
Generally, yes. It's a skill of mine.
