Dune

'The beginning is a very delicate time. Know then, that it is the year 10,191. The known universe is ruled by the Padashar Emperor Shaddam the Fourth, my father. In this time, the most precious substance in the universe is the spice, Melange. The spice extends life; the spice expands consciousness; the spice is vital to space travel. The Spacing Guild and its navigators, who the spice has mutated over 4,000 years, use the orange spice gas which gives them the ability to fold space. That is, travel to any part of the universe without moving. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. The spice exists on only one planet in the entire universe; a desolate, dry planet, with vast deserts. Hidden away within the rocks of these deserts are a people known as the Freman, who have long held a prophecy that a man would come - a messiah - who would lead them to true freedom. The planet is Arrakis, also known as Dune'

We have just folded space from Ix. Yes? How was your journey? Many machines on Ix. New machines. Oh? 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. Yes? You must share with us. The Atreides...

The sleeper must awaken.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed. The lips acquire stains, the stains become a warning. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

Soon they'll begin to fold space. Far off in the control rooms of spice gas. Travelling without moving.

Spice. Pure, unrefined spice.

The second moon. The sleeper must awaken. Am I the one?

He who controls the spice, controls the universe.

Listen to me. Listen. You wanted to know about my dreams. Well, I've just had a waking dream. Do you know why? The spice. It's in everything here. Calm yourself. Like the truth, say, I'm drunk. It's poison. You knew the spice would change me. But thanks to your teachings, it's changing my consciousness. I see it. I can see it! Is he the one? You carry my unborn sister in your womb. He knows.

The dream unfolds.

This is part of the weirding way that we will teach you. Some thoughts have a certain sound, that being the equivalent to a form. Through sound and motion, you will be able to paralyze nerves, shatter bones, set fires, suffocate an enemy or burst his organs. We will kill until no Harkonnen breathes Arrakeen air. Muad'Dib!

Traveling without moving. Now I truly control the worm. And the spice. And I have the power to destroy the spice forever!

Muad'Dib had become the hand of God, fulfilling the Fremen prophecy. Where there was war, Muad'Dib would now bring peace. Where there was hatred, Muad'Dib would bring love. To lead the people to true freedom, and to change the face of Arrakis.
