Chapter 20

Post by Freakzilla »

Arrakis teaches the attitude of the knife--chopping off what's incomplete and
saying: "Now, it's complete because it's ended here."

-from "Collected Sayings of, Muad'Dib" by the Princess Irulan

Doctor Yueh is standing over the unconscious Duke as a Sardaukar Bashar in Harkonnen uniform apporaches him, he asks about the condition of the Duke and the signet ring. Yueh tells him he will awaken soon and should be bound, he doesn't know where the ring is. The Sardaukar tells him to wait outside and calls him traitor. Yueh sees this as a sign of the way history will remember him. He goes outside, sneaks around the corner to the 'thopter waiting to dispose of Paul and Jessica in the Desert. He puts the Ducal signet ring in a Fremkit with a note which he's left in the 'thopter for Paul and hopes that Duncan will be patient and wait for them or else all is lost. Soon he will see the Baron and know the truth about his wife, and the Baron will encounter the Duke's poison tooth.
They were destroyed because they lied pretentiously. Have no fear that my wrath
will fall upon you because of your innocent mistakes.
