Subject: Ged looked up at the ships that were taking off.

So many people fleeing from the Pirates Colony. An exodus of the wicked.

Ged was only 10 years old but he was smart. Very smart. He stood and he listened and he watched.

And now, here, he made his move.

He ran to where the spice smugglers made sure to store some extra spice and he grabbed a bag full of the lab-fabricated stuff. It wasn't the real thing but that was okay. There was no way that a 10 year old would be getting to Arrakis any time soon.

He took the bag of spice and ran to the place where the hookers hung out and took care of him. They all were like his mothers...being that he didn't have a mother. Some asked him what he had in his hand and others ignored him cause they didn't care.

Most had fear in their eyes and that he understood. He had fear for...for...he couldn't remember. He shrugged because he knew that he had been in the Pirates' Colony since he'd been kidnapped years ago...he just didn't know when...he thought.

Whatever.

He hid the spice and waited for the right moment to do what he had to do next. In the mean time he poured buckets of water on sand. More water. More water. He knew this lab-crap couldn't do nearly as much as the real thing...but he didn't care.

He closed his eyes and started to wait...and pray...
