enough for my eyes to change. (Paul) In the service of the Emperor. We are in your hands, Doctor. Your gift of the stillsuits is much appreciated. Would you give us an explanation of their workings? Well, this is a stillsuit of Fremen manufacture, the most efficient type on Arrakis. Basically... (Duke Leto) It's all right, Gurney. Yes, Sire. Basically, it's a high-efficiency filter and heat exchange system. Perspiration passes through the first layer and is gathered in the second. The salt is separated. Breathing and walking provide the pumping action. The reclaimed water circulates to catch pockets from which you can drink through this tube around your neck. Urine and feces are processed in the thigh pads. Should you be in the open desert, remember to breathe in through your mouth and out through this nose tube. With a Fremen suit in good working condition, life can be sustained for weeks, even in the deep desert, Sire. My thanks. With your permission. You've worn a stillsuit before. No. Your suit is fitted desert fashion. Who told you how to do that? No one. It seemed the proper way. That it is. (Dr. Kynes) He shall know your ways as if born to them. We're wasting time, Sire. (air controller on radio) Air speed, zero-five. Ambient temperature, 300 degrees Kelvin. Air speed, three-zero. Ether bender, 75 percent efficiency. That's where I told your sandmaster to concentrate the harvesting today. Southeast, over the Shield Wall. (air controller on radio) Ambient temperature, 350 degrees Kelvin. Air speed, one-three-zero. Caution. You've now cleared protective Shield Wall and entered open desert. Will we see a worm? Where there is spice and spice mining, there are always worms. Always? Always. Why do they come? To protect their territory. Vibrations attract them. (Paul) He must be a Fremen or in with them. He's studying us. He's hiding something about the spice. Is there a relationship between the worms and the spice? As I said, they defend the spice sands. As to their relationship with the spice, who knows? Dust cloud ahead, Sire. That's it. Spice mining. No other cloud quite like it. See the spotters over it? They're watching for wormsign, the telltale sand waves. Seismic probes on the surface, too, Sire. Worms can travel too deep for their waves to show. Looks like a good patch of spice. Wormsign? Is it wormsign? Yes. Worm. Big one. You've got sharp eyes. May I? Calling Harvester Pad Nine. Wormsign. (man on radio) Who calls Pad Nine? Don't mention the Duke. This is an un-coded channel. Unlisted flight northeast of you. Wormsign on intercept course. Estimated contact, 15 minutes. Have sighting confirmed. Stand by for a fix. Contact in 16 minutes minus. Very precise estimate. Who's on that unlisted flight? What happens now? The carryall will come and lift off the spice harvester. Try to get in close over the harvester. You'll find this interesting, Sire. They work until the very last minute. Spotter control, there's no sign of the carryall. It isn't answering. The worm is eight minutes away, Sire. (miner #1) Spotter control, give me a report by the numbers. Report One. (miner #2) No contact. Report two. (miner #3) Negative. Report three. (miner #4) Negative, Sire. Report four. (miner #5) No contact. Repeat, no contact. I think they've got our carryall. Damn it! Harkonnens. We're coming down to take you off the harvester. All spotters are ordered to comply. Ordered by whom? Duke Leto Atreides. (miner #1) Yes. Yes, Sire. How many men do you have? Full crew, 26 men. But, Sire, we can't leave all this spice. Damn the spice! Get out of there!
