Ramnu has extreme weather. Clouds change dusk into night. Frequent lightning shows every large raindrop falling straight and striking explosively. In the thick air, thunder is like a bombardment. Small storm bats wing through the violence. Wind is hard but slow:
"...its voice more drumroll than shriek." (p. 124)
The wind often comments on the action and here is granted an appropriate voice.
Hooligan descends, guided by known landmarks for radar and infrascope, although it is hard to home on Yewwl's communicator through this extreme weather. Landing is difficult and Flandry sweats as he works with the spaceship's systems. He needs a beam to find Yewwl's encampment.

Ramnuans aren't going to find as many planets suitable for them...
