Dialogue
Einar Maia: Hello. If you're planning to head out to collect spice, I have all that you need.
Player: What can you tell me about spice?
Einar Maia: Isn't it the reason we're all here? Spice is life, but more importantly, spice is wealth.
With spice everything is possible. And it's right out there for the taking, if you can avoid everything that will kill you. Which is everything.
Player: What do I need to get started?
Einar Maia: Eager to get out there, are we? I know very well how you feel.
The Riches you're dreamt of seem within reach, don't they? Well, you still have some distance to cover.
When you fist start out , you'll be able to do little more than grab it with your hands, but you won't get much that way.
Tends to slip through the fingers, Best to get a static compactor.
Down the road, when you're ready, we can talk about getting your hands on a crawler. That's all there is to it.
Player: Where should I start?
Einar Maia: Where there are worms, there's spice. Plenty right here.
But the Deep Desert, out beyond the Shield Wall is where the real fortunes lie. For the time being, I'd leave that to the adults.
You had best cut your teeth within reach of Harko. Just watch for those purple spice blows and get in quick.
Player: Have you been doing this long?
Einar Maia: Of course, though I can see why you might think otherwise. I don't look like those other sandeaters, right? Too young? Too clean?
Yes, I'll admit I'm spending less time on the dune these days. To be honest, I've done well for myself, and prospecting's more of a sideline now.
Player: Anywhere I should avoid?
Einar Maia: Avoid? Everywhere is as good as any to get yourself murdered on Arrakis. But you might want to avoid anything promising something worse than death.
Player: That's all?
Einar Maia: No, friend, that's not all, but I don't have all day to go through the list, do I? I will tell you this.
Don't listen to a word from Asmara Efendi or any of her Smuggler comrades.
At least the scavengers know they're scavengers. Smugglers are hardly any different, but that's not how they see it.
Player: How so?
Einar Maia: According to them, any trade not claimed by a house is theirs, like they're the only legitimate thieves on this world.
Little emperors they are. But never mind, that is a small matter, and you have greater things ahead.
