Subject: More Dune 7 Speculation

Okay well, it's already been kicked around to death that the Machines and Omnius are a likely candidate for a major comeback in Dune 7.

But I have been listening to my audio books of the House novels and I keep wondering how they fit into Dune 7 like Kevin and Brian have said they would.

And I really think that the whole project Amal thing, the Spice substitute and the Bene Tleilax will play an important role in Dune 7 as well as the machines.

Somehow I feel like Leto II's pearls of wisdom in the worms, the Spice subsitute that the Honored Matres use (is it like AMAL?), Sheanna's ability to control the worms, Miles Teg's Atreides talents, the destruction of Arrakis and all the worms but like one, Duncan Idaho's skills, the fact that the Bene tleilax keep offering to bring dead loved ones back in the forms of Gholas, the weird face dancers at the end of Chapterhouse, and the probes Omnius sent out in the Butlerian Jihad novel, all have to coalesce somehow.

How do they all fit together?? Maybe the weird Face Dancers ARE machines, and use synthetic Spice somehow? Maybe they want to destroy all the worms, but Leto II left his pearls of wisdom inside the worms so that he can connect with Sheanna and fight back? And Duncan Idaho will somehow be able to end the cycle of ghola's once and for all and be free to truly die? While Miles Teg will use his abilities to destroy the prescient machines so that humanity is once and for all truly free of prescience?

I am just trying to fit stuff together in a logical conclusion somehow.
