Nearby was this beautiful tool of destruction. They call it a snow plow, or snow cutter. Situated on the front of a railroad engine, it could cut a swath of destruction sufficient for my uses.

Unfortunately, it was not in service. My minion seemed dissappointed as well.

In this town, too, were more of these useless slaves, though this one at least seemed to have control over the power for the building. It whispered to me that it regularly tripped the breakers, usually before the mortals inside could get their morning coffee. 

I admire that in a statuary.

This smaller one claimed that it would distract the mortals and make them late to supper.

Fah. I was not impressed by it's toadying.

While minion #1 was engrossed in documenting our journey, there was a close call with the local law enforcement.

They tried to take me into custody. I struggled heroically, and the Fire Department Chief was called to assist.

Here they hold me, momentarily subdued. It was short lived, however. I quickly escaped and sent a stampeding herd of wild caribu through the center of town, cutting a swath of destruction the snow plow could not equal. We left very shortly after.

To give you an idea of the misery I put my minion through, despite the efforts of the host, I shall give you a tour of areas on the ship she had to travel on. Most of these images are from the second and sixth days of her travel, when the ship did not make land fall at all.

This is my bed in the cabin. I made my minion sleep on the windowsill.

This is a full view of the bed area of the cabin. I am now seated on the hosts' bed. Both beds were mine during the cruise. I made the host sleep in the closet.

To ensure that my minion's brain did not recover during the trip, I was pleased to find television provided by ship's satellite. Only the worst of programming: ships events, boring shots from the bow, sports, news and cartoons.

Nothing like Cartoon Network to enslave the masses.

On the bar, to tempt the passengers, could be found refreshments. Ah, but the price to enjoy these... heh, Hotel convenience baskets. I so love some of the ideas from my R&D department.
