• He means it - , said the wind.

Oh sure. He means it. He's got the grandest delusions of grandeur in the galaxy.

• You've got a sterile mind, said the wind. Can't you understand what he says? Can't you appreciate what he wants?

To hell with his fancy dreams, I replied. That's just so much junk. I don't give a damn for superminds and the harmonisation of human and alien thought. That's just froth - empty air. What I care about is what it's making him do to me - to the ship and all who sail in her. I don't care how philosophically elegant or aesthetically appealing his spiel might be. I don't care if you fall in love with his stupid dreams. I care about my life and the fact that he doesn't. He owns me, remember. He bought me because he needed me, and he couldn't afford to let me have ideas of my own. That's what scares me. That's his madness.
