Envoy Dialogue

Desmond Mercer, Envoy of House Hurata.

Desmond Mercer [Welcome] Greetings, friend. Have you got business with me or House Hurata?

Player 1. Tell me about yourself. 2. Tell me more about House Hurata.

Desmond Mercer [1] My name is Desmond Mercer, but my friend's call me Dez. You can call me Dez, as I just know we are destined to be firm friends. [2] House Hurata is known primarily as a visionary pioneer in media technologies, particularly projections and filmbooks.

Player 1.1. I suspect you're right. 1.2. You're rather optimistic, aren't you? 1.3. That's presomptuous of you. 1.4. [Nobility] I don't recall giving you leave to take such familiar tones. 1.5. Goodbye. 2.1. That's sound quites interesting. 2.2. A rather humble claim for a House. 2.3. Goodbye.

Desmond Mercer [1.1] I just knew it the moment to you approached. Good friends can be so important in such a dangerous place. [1.2] We stand upon a cruel planet careening through a crueler universe. Friendly optimism isn't a soft trait, but an act of aggressive defiance. [1.3] Oh, I will win you over yet - yes I will. [1.4] Oh, forgive my bubbling idiocy. You talk like a noble, but your current state suggested something more... down to earth. Did you lose your entourage? [2.1] You are a curious soul. House Hurata encourages and celebrates that. The cold universe has a knack of forgetting a thing so thoroughly... it's like it never even existed. A skill can vanish in a single generation. A species can fade away into non-entity. The preservation of human knowledge and expertise is the holiest of holies. Our filmbooks revolutionize education and training - a shigawire imprint carrying a mnemonic pulse, transmitting knowledge directly to the mind. [2.2] Oh, we don't practice all that much humility. We consider ourselves luminaries in a field of technology that is vital to our entire species. The cold universe has a knack of forgetting a thing so thoroughly... it's like it never even existed.

Player 1.1.1. So what brings you to Arrakis, Dez? 1.1.2. So what brings you to Arrakis, Desmond Mercer? 1.1.3. Goodbye. 2.1.1. and 2.1.2. Tell me more about shigawire.

Desmond Mercer [1.1.1] and [1.1.2] Oh, I do this and that for the Landsraad envoys of House Hurata. My inquisitive little peepers are just dandy for sussing out what they need to know. You should ask yourself what it is you want to accomplish on Arrakis, and how a friendship with my House might help that along. [2.1.1] and [2.1.2] Fascinating stuff - the metallic extrusion of a ground vine, Narvi narviium. Made into reels, it can transmit amazing amount of data. With its extreme tensile strength, the Sardaukar reduce shigawire to a simple, if effective, garrote.

Player 1.1.1.1. You seem far too silly a person to survive Arrakis for long. 1.1.1.2. Perhaps we can be friends, Dez. 1.1.1.3. I deal in assets and enemies, not friends. 1.1.1.4. But why are you all the way out in this place specifically? 1.1.1.5. Goodbye. 2.1.1.1. and 2.1.2.1. Do I detect a note of contempt for the Sardaukar?

Desmond Mercer [1.1.1.1] Well now, sometimes it pays to be underestimated, yes? [1.1.1.2] I knew you'd come around, I surely did. Here's to mutual benefit. [1.1.1.3] You say that now... My company is a might bit spicy for some folk, but before you know it, they're hip-waggin' on over for the next ladle-ful. [1.1.1.4] In the spirit of friendship, I'll let you in on a secret. We heard rumors of an ancient Desert Botanical Testing Station here. Curiosity is my vice. [2.1.1.1] and [2.1.2.1] Well... it's one of the most amazing substances known to humankind, and all they can think to do with it is squeeze necks.
