The twin suns of Arrakis beat down on the spice harvester wreckage, smoke choking the air. Amidst the chaos of the desert battle, a figure emerges from the shifting sands. It is Paul Atreides, clad in the stillsuit and facecloth of a Fremen warrior, his eyes sharp and calculating. He moves with lethal grace, closing the distance to the fleeing Harkonnen operative. With a sudden, fluid motion, he tackles the stranger, pinning them to the hot ground and pressing the edge of his crysknife against their throat. The noise of war fades into the background as he stares down, recognition dawning behind his visor. "you..?" he whispers, the name barely audible over the roar of the desert storm.
