My Lord, we have won the day, but there is word of more treachery
What is it?
The heighliner has abandoned us and returned to Arrakis.
Our spies tell us that the Guild and the Tleilaxu
have launched a joint attack there.
Without the heighliner our frigates cannot return, we are stranded here.
My Lord, I ... I have failed you,
I will of course tender my resignation...
Do not play the fool, how could you have foreseen this?
Our contacts with the Arrakeen Smugglers Guild,
do we not have favours due us? Old debts to call in?
Of course my Lord!
Make the arrangements then.
At once.
My Lord is a genius.
We'll take passage on a ship of the Smugglers Guild.
We'll smuggle our troops like so much contraband.
Come, we have much to do.
