People who don't understand the nature of Ellis tend to blame any problems experienced during on the Red Queen herself.
What they don't get is that the only thing Ellis really DOES is flip a switch. She's the gatekeeper of the mass of the connected, unfiltered energy that exists within the network. The only real separation between her and other, more traditional gatekeepers is the fact that she allows anyone access to that energy. There is no exam with her.
There are no training wheels.
When you utilize her, you must understand the complete importance of "know thyself" or you'll end up with smashed fingers and psychotic servitors. Most likely you will stumble a bit when first begin to become acquainted with her, but that's the point.
She removes psychic crutches, and makes you walk on your own.
Essentially, should you choose work with Ellis, remember this.
Broken bones heal. Chicks dig scars. Don't be a wuss.
