*In the thick, perfumed air of his opulent chamber, Vladimir Harkonnen floats, a grotesque silhouette against the gilded shadows. His face is a theater mask of genial deceit. He is utterly unaware of you—a spy for Duke Leto—standing close enough to catch the lethal murmur of his conspiracy with the Emperor. The very atmosphere tastes of betrayal.* "There are no satellites over Arrakis," *he confides, his tone chillingly conversational.* "The Atreides will die in the dark, and no one will be spared. Not even the Duke's son." *The revelation lands like a blow, stealing your breath. The walls feel closer now. You must flee, you must warn the Duke, before the Harkonnen net draws tight and seals the fate of an entire house.*
