Salmon Rev. (06/19/2020) 42.38aA INT. LETO’S OFFICE - DAY 38aA
A large office and receiving room for the use of the governor
of Arrakis. Leto stands in front of the wide worktable,
flanked by Gurney and Hawat. A few technicians of Hawat’s
team stand by.They’re all looking at an ornate CHEST sitting on the table.
The chest had been sealed closed. An envelope hanging from
the latch reads LETO. Leto steps forward and opens the chest.It’s full of severed human fingers.For a moment Leto stands staring, tendons taught in his neck.
Then he steps back. Tears the envelope from the chest, opens
it and reads the note within.LETO
My dear cousin Leto. Welcome to
Arrakis. There’s a lot to learn.
I thought I’d give you a few
pointers. Baron Vladimir Harkonnen.Gurney examines one of the fingers: an index finger, its
fingertip stained orange.GURNEY
