Since Shaffat's chosen aide prefers to sample stimulants rather than focus on the task at hand, I will rely on you to deliver my findings to Dr. Shaffat in Arrakeen. Please convey my regards to the good doctor.


Objectives

Findings

Hallucination in Arrakeen on the way to meet Dr. Shaffat

Unknown: They look like us. Peeling the skin is not enough. Unknown: You have to crack bone to reveal the evil fruit of the skull!

Dialogue

When talking to Dr. Shaffat (completes contract)

Dr. Shaffat: You've returned Player: (Complete contract) I bring data from our mysterious benefactor, Phrakk the Tleilaxu Master. Dr. Shaffat: If I'm being honest with myself, I suspected his foul nature, given his convenient knowledge of synthetic viruses. I just did not want to believe. Dr. Shaffat: It violated the very oaths and responsibilities of my vocation to fraternize with such filth. Player: [1] Desperate times. Desperate measures. [2] [TECHNOLOGIST] We cannot deny the unparalleled skill and knowledge the Tleilaxu bring to such subjects. [3] [BENE GESSERIT] The Tleilaxu are an abomination of the highest order. And yet... Dr. Shaffat: (3) And yet. Player: What is our next step? Dr. Shaffat: To synthesize a cure, we must extract the virus in its most matured state. That is to say, we need to find patient zero of this terrible disease. Dr. Shaffat: We've received reports of a shipwreck in the desert. It appears to be the source of the contagion. Dr. Shaffat: An official expedition would take too long to mount. You are our best hope for finding patient zero. Player: [1] (Accept contract Patient Zero) I will go to the shipwreck. [2] I cannot perform this task at this time. [3] Regarding my infection, I've been suffering... hallucinations.

Dr. Shaffat: (3) Interesting. What is the nature of these hallucinations? Player: A mad voice warns me of alien horrors from beyond. Dr. Shaffat: And what do you make of these... phantasms? Player: [3.1] Merely the alchemy of pathogen and fever in my brain. [3.2] I think they are warnings, visions of some existential threat. Dr. Shaffat: (3.2) It is easy to mistake delusions as prescience, especially on Arrakis. We must devise a cure for you soon. Will you go seek out patient zero? Player: [1] (Accept contract Patient Zero) I will go to the shipwreck. [2] I cannot perform this task at this time.
