NARRATOR: The Stormring, Eina-Afa...
Saurian researcher: It's so peaceful here. Not what I was expecting.
SORLIE: We're in the lacuna.
There's a storm to windward, and a storm to leeward, but they're both about 5,000 kilometers away.
SORLIE: In forty-one hours Akkrok will arrive with sustained winds of over two hundred and thirty kilometers per hour.
Saurian researcher: "Akkrok."
What does the name mean?
SORLIE: I didn't ask.
Saurian researcher: No sense of curiosity?
SORLIE: All I really need to know is that I do not want to meet a storm that someone has given a name to.
