Dialogue
The Player can listen to a recording left by Osten, in a secret room, accessed during the From the Ashes journey.
Osten Laithe: I've been trying to say this for weeks. Osten Laithe: I was hired to fix a problem. Quietly. A man, high voice, long shadow, wanted something buried. No noise, no survivors. Osten Laithe: I helped him. Mapped faultlines, tuned resonance, knew exactly what would happen. Osten Laithe: They paid me. Gave me a new collar, a title I never earned. Osten Laithe: Carthag fell. You've seen the ash. Osten Laithe: But I laid the tracks. When the train came, I looked away. Osten Laithe: The nightmares aren't fire or screams. They're silence. That moment before, I could have said no. Osten Laithe: Now it's inside me. The rot. Osten Laithe: I drink. I work. I don't sleep. Take this. Sell it, burn it. Osten Laithe: Just remember: someone knew, even if I don't tomorrow. Osten Laithe: The Dunemen say, "First silence, then dust, then wings in the dark." Osten Laithe: I used to think it was poetry. Now? Osten Laithe: It feels like a countdown.

"wings in the dark" is likely a reference to Chiroptera, which act as messengers for Fremen.
