A haunting HARKONNEN GUN SHIP, THE PLAGUE, hovers over the
city, pouring hell.

87 EXT. SHIELD WALL - NIGHT 87


The ornithopter passes over the Shield Wall into the desert.
In the distance we see Arrakeen Landing on fire.

81 EXT. ROOFTOP - NIGHT 81


Idaho crawls on the edge of a landing pad where a Harkonnen
military ornithopter has landed. The aircraft is protected by
several guards. Idaho comes down on top of a soldier and
stabs him through the top of his head. Turns and cuts down
four others without mercy.

Terrorized, the rest of the soldiers move away.

Idaho gets in the ornithopter and lifts off, mechanical wings
kicking up dust.

As he rises above the next landing pad, he fires every
rockets he’s got on Harkonnen Troop Transports.

An enemy frigate spots him and immediately fires.

Duncan avoids the missile by diving toward the surface of the
city, hiding at a lower level into an atrium filled with
Harkonnen troops.

He spins around firing at the troops and rushes at high speed
into a street, as the atrium explodes, bombed by the frigate.

The street is a dead end.

His ornithopter brutally stops and does a radical vertical *
maneuver to get back to the surface, as massive explosions
eradicate what’s left of the atrium.

Being hunted by the frigate again, Idaho launches his
ornithopter at high speed toward the edge of the protective
wall of the war-torn city.

Reaching the edge, he barely avoids several missiles, dives
and disappears into heavy clouds of dark smoke.

He finally escapes.
