Lemon AmigaOfficial description
Dear Reverend Mother Marius Alethea Blasco:
The situation on Arrakis is critical. I have collected the information that you requested and strongly urge you to make a decision soon on this matter.
Frederick's political gamble has proved dangerous. Desperate for spice, he has challenged the three great Houses to compete for mining rights. The possession and Governorship of Arrakis has been offered as incentive for the House that delivers the most spice.
We have considerable self-interest in this war. Arrakis is the only known source of the spice, and it cannot be manufactured. We must make certain that whichever of the competing Houses prevails, our supply to the Gesserit remains continuous. We cannot afford to make enemies now.
I hope this report is useful to you. Please let me know if there is additional information that you require.
Your Servant,
Lady Elara Moray Trieu
