- Welcome, visitor, to Imperial Desert Testing Station #197.
- I am Station Supervisor Janesse Braun, of the Imperial Engineering Corps.
- Yes, this lab has the unique distinction of being headed by an engineer rather than a scientist.
- Although there are geologists and hydrologists aplenty on our team, our mission requires engineering expertise above all.
- The mission is simple: Find Dune's water!.
- Our scientific colleagues assure us that conditions are right for the presence of a large aquifer on this planet.
- Our mission will be to drill deep, until we find it.

Water Shipper: The contracts have all been signed and certified, Captain, and your advance has been passed on through CHOAM channels Water Shipper: This operation is costing me a fortune? so I expect quick results. My agents have located the hideout of the Kirab who hijacked our water transport Water Shipper: Your force is to punish the bandits and recover what water you can Water Shipper: Remember, any necessary correspondence is to come directly to me, not anyone else at the Guild

KIRAB: By all that's holy, Lazaro, you were right! The water transport had far fewer guards than we normally see. It was a simple matter to overwhelm them. KIRAB: And the ice! Ice from the pole, Lazaro! I never thought to see such a sight! We are bringing the transport back to the Station by secret paths. Have the tank prepared. KIRAB: The thirsty of the region will soon be coming to us with their solaris in hand. We will all be rich as nobles!

KIRAB: Beware, Lazaro! There is trouble. As you instructed, I went to Mirzabah to spread the word of our water for sale. KIRAB: But while there, I learned that agents of the Water Shippers have been offering hefty rewards for anyone who can provide information about their stolen shipment. We must prepare!

MERCENARY: Hey Captain, I know a fellow who's a grunt for the Water Shippers Guild, and he told me something you might want to know. MERCENARY: That Guild exec that hired us - Orin Rhazen - well it seems he has been trying to impress his bosses by reducing expenses. MERCENARY: Only one of the ways he tried to save money was by cutting back on security for his ice shipments. MERCENARY: The Kirab probably wouldn't have been able to hijack that shipment if it had the required number of guards. MERCENARY: And now Rhazen's desperate to try and fix things before the hammer falls. Thought this info might be useful if we want to try to screw some extra money out of him.

ANCIENT SCIENTIST: This will be my last entry for...well, maybe for good. We've just received word that the protests against the thinking machines have escalated into full-scale war! Everyone says it's a struggle for the very existence of humanity. ANCIENT SCIENTIST: All the testing stations are being evacuated! We're shutting everything down while we await transport. I hope they hurry!
