From PSYOP to MindWar:
The Psychology of Victory
Princess Irulan :
Father --
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
Irulan, you must leave --
A Third-stage Guild navigator
will be here within minutes.
The Witch :
We felt his presence.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
I shall want telepathy during his visit...
and a report when we're finished.
The Witch :
I am Your Truthsayer, My Lord.
......He's here, my lord.
Spacing Guild Herald :
The Bene Gesserit
WITCH must leave --
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
-- Leave us.
The Witch :
Yes, My Lord.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
We are alone.
(He comes through The Mists -- )
The Navigator :
We have just folded Space from Ix.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
Yes? How was your journey?
The Navigator :
Many machines on Ix.
New machines.
Oh?
The Navigator :
Yes. Better than those on Richese.
You are transparent --
I see many things.
I see plans within plans.
I see two great houses,
House Atreides,
House Harkonnen,
feuding -- I see
you behind it.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
Yes.
The Navigator :
You must share with us.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
The Atreides House is building a secret
army... using a technique unknown to us.
A technique involving sound.
The Duke is becoming more
popular in the Landsraad.
He could threaten me.
I have ordered House Atreides
to occupy Arrakis to mine The Spice,
thus replacing their enemies,
the Harkonnens.
House Atreides will
not refuse because of
the tremendous power they
think they will gain.
Then, at an appointed time, Baron Harkonnen will return to Arrakis... and launch
a sneak attack on House Atreides.
I have promised The Baron five legions
of my Sardaukar terror troops.
The Navigator :
-- So The Harkonnens will
rid you of House-Atreides.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
Yes!
The Navigator :
You are transparent.
I see many things.
I see plans,
WITHIN plans ....
One small point --
The Witch :
(hiding behind an
arras like Polonius)
-- Here it comes .....
The Navigator :
We ourselves foresee a slight problem
within House-Atreides : Paul
Paul Atreides.
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
....You mean of course
Duke LETO Atreides,
His Father?
The Navigator :
I mean PAUL Atreides.
We want him KILLED.
...I Did Not SAY this;
I, am not HERE --
Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV,
Emperor of The KNOWN Universe :
I understand.
