HERALD OF THE CHANGE *


Your seal. *

Duke Leto holds up his hand. On it, a SIGNET RING. He presses *
it carefully into the wax. *

THE BENE GESSERIT looks at Jessica once more... then casts *
her eyes toward PAUL... then back to Jessica. *

Jessica tries to keep her composure, but a message has just *
been sent. And whatever it is, it has frightened her. *

Leto pulls his ring away from the seal. The Herald checks it, *
is pleased, and then quickly rolls the scroll back up. *

HERALD OF THE CHANGE (CONT'D) *
The Emperor has assigned a Judge of *
the Change to oversee the *
transition. The Judge will meet you *
upon your arrival. *

DUKE *
So... it’s done? *

The Herald looks right into the Duke’s eyes. The hint of an *
unsettling smile on his face. *

HERALD OF THE CHANGE *
It’s done. *

2B EXT. CALADAN - DAY 2B


Lush mountains. A ear-splitting noise breaks the silence. *

A FIGHTER SPACECRAFT flies by at high speed and ridiculously *
low altitude, then does a brutal maneuver between rocks,
leaving only echoes of thunder in the valley. *

1A INT. CALADAN MILITARY HANGAR - MORNING 1A *


The Fighter lands with reckless speed but great precision, in *
a military hangar. *

Nearby, a squad of ATREIDES COMMANDOS are prepping equipment: *
Swords, lasguns and rocket-launchers. Armor and shield *
generators. Survival gear. They radiate calm confidence. *
Comrades-in-arms who have come through many battles together. *

A powerfully large man, DUNCAN IDAHO, in his pilot’s uniform, *
helmet tucked under his arm, is circling the ship with an *
OFFICER (LANVILLE) and TWO TECHNICIANS. *
