The E'telikeli - Lifetake
E'telikeli is an Underperson from author Cordwainer Smith's sci-fi universe...he shows up in uhh...."The Ballad of Lost C'mell" and Norstrilia. I think that's it....? Someone can correct me if I'm wrong; C.S. has a billion short stories. Anyway Underpeople are animals modified to look and act like people, but basically they are treated as second-class citizens (if citizens at all, actually...can't remember). Anyway they do mundane jobs to make everyone's life easier. E'telikeli was a badly-formed Underperson and was discarded but he survived and then he does some important stuff. Oh and the E stands for Eagle; he was derived from an eagle.E'telikeli is an Underperson from author Cordwainer Smith's sci-fi universe...he shows up in uhh...."The Ballad of Lost C'mell" and Norstrilia.
