"Thank you for your guidance, maybe I can make something from this trip yet." Dorian nodded his head to the man in thanks and made his way to the door, knocking politely.

"I prefer to have options rather than a rigid plan. Before our people get back I want to know what help the Fremen would be capable of and willing to provide. Once we know the reality of the situation, we can pick from among the theories we have hashed out. I understand that many of your people have...

Dorian absently looked as Cybillus pointed out the elevator; however, he wasn't here to admire Hakonnen architecture.

Dorian nodded in understanding (he understood the surface of the conversation, but maybe not the implications), "We wouldn't ask your people to do anything reckless or to put on some vain attempt at an assault. From what I've learned, your people excel at disrupting and harassing the Harkonnens. We ...

A smile spread across Dorian's face, "This is very good news." He turns in Ahmina's direction, "And you, Edwell told me but I almost couldn't believe him. You managed not only to survive but you also beat us here. I am quickly learning it is impossible not to underestimate you Fremen." He emphasizes...

Sharing a knowing smile, Dorian responds, "This is the way of the Imperium. If it's not an eye for an eye, then it's a favor for a favor. But I believe our goals align here, we both want House Harkonnen off Arrakis. You may want more from the Imperium, but that is beyond what I or any of the auditor...

Dorian nodded along as the man spoke, "Yes, very understandable." He gives a casual look around the room at various patrons, some or all of whom were likely here purely to observe the two auditors. "It would be business on behalf of House Mutelli and I would be more than satisfied with being shown t...

Dorian greeted him with the reverence befitting a leader, "I would like to thank you for taking good care of our people. It would be my preference to show you the full extent of Mutelli hospitality; however, I hope you can forgive me that we are working with a deadline and need to forge onward. To b...

After Frigate landed, Dorian was taken aback to by how many Fremen were present. Learning of the scout mission to Orgiz and a very brief summary of the conditions here, Dorian sought out this friendly leader among the Fremen, Stilgar. They would need some amount of good will and cooperation to succe...

"Now is not the time to limit oneself. There may be some business to be had with some Richesian goods among others, but I have some interest in his importing services. We received a recommendation to seek him out on the trip to Arrakis, but haven't had a chance to make contact. I heard he was residi...

Dorian watched the much anticipated return of the thopter carrying the auditors who had gone to scout the location of Orgiz. It all came down to what they had found. If they were successful, it would make this detour worthwhile. If they found the site still abandoned, they had some time to search ot...

Giving a slight bow to the man, Dorian responded, "You are correct Mr. Awaya. I am actually here in this bar on a bit of House business rather than audit business. I am to make introductions with a Mr. Weyer Paymon and inquire about obtaining his services. I have heard from a few reliable sources th...

https://i.imgur.com/qwAPwsR.jpg Waiting to see the others' choices, Edwell chimes in, "I will go on to the Cave of Birds, meet up with the ones who told us of its existence and the rest of the auditors. The plan was for them to rendezvous with us there if they didn't hear back from us." He would be...

Spotting the man Rima had told him was familiar with his elusive prey, Dorian made his way across the bar to join Mr. Awaya.

https://i.imgur.com/qwAPwsR.jpg After staying silent for what seemed a moment, just a pause between words to the others, but was enough time for Edwell to run through multiple models in his mind, he spoke up, "Yes, it will be Orgiz, anyone who knows about it would overlook it as a lost attempt, a t...

https://i.imgur.com/qwAPwsR.jpg Beginning to put the pieces together, Edwell spoke up, "Rabban is an arrogant one, he likes to show off, like the displays in Carthag. He may be using a sietch he took over. Or he may think he can succeed where his predecessors failed and rebuild Orgiz into a success...

After wasting a sufficient amount of time with Lt. Kinet, Dorian decided he needed to be productive here at Wind Pass. While their main objective might be the secret base the stranger had told them about, there was still much that could be learned here. He needed to find this Weyer Paymon and have a...

Finally getting a response from the brusque man, Dorian smiled secretly to himself and searched for something to write on and with. Once he had the instruments, he wrote a simple message, Why couldn't you have offered this to begin with? It would've saved quite a bit of time. Satisfied with the pace...

https://i.imgur.com/qwAPwsR.jpg Edwell listened and made projections of probability. They certainly did not have weeks to locate this secret base, the matter needed to be resolved in the next two days. The Fremen leader made a good point, there were only so many place that could accommodate a spice...

The man obviously did not want to engage with Dorian. He couldn't believe the Harkonnen Lt would have no means of communication, he could speak to give orders. It was already ludicrous that they would put a man in charge who couldn't hold any awareness for his surroundings outside his line of sight....

When Ahmina approached, he offered a small smile and a nod in her direction. Her survival was not completely outside his projecti...

https://i.imgur.com/qwAPwsR.jpg Oblivious to what was going on with his companions, Edwell peered outward to the dunes while searching inward for resolution. Through the extensive training of his youth, the importance, the necessity of logic and order had been drilled into him. Following the patter...
