Dune 3 (Game Over)
« on: July 25, 2016, 10:18:02 am »

Years have passed.  The events of the past have changed the future in ways no one but Muad'Dib could have foreseen.  Grass grows on the desert planet; Arrakis is transforming.

In the capital, intrigue and deception.  Abomination.  In the desert, a Preacher rails against an unjust government and its crimes against humanity, against the lax ways of the strong Fremen who have laid aside their Stillsuits and waste water without care.

And in one sietch, relatively untouched by politics and war, nine souls debate and wonder about their own future, and the future of the planet.  Where are the worms?  The source of the spice melange has disappeared, and stockpiles -- built up for the good of the sietch -- are slowly being stolen.  Life without spice?  Incomprehensible.

Nine souls desperate for resolution.  Nine who need to find a solution.  An ancient Fremen saying warns "you should never be in the company of anyone with whom you would not want to die."  Nine souls need to be sure of the company they keep.

I'm pretty sure it will be.  He has already done 2 dune mafias, so I would expect that Dune 3 would mean the third mafia game in the ashersky dune series.

I think it is more of an early spoiler thing. Ash kind of did this with walking dead mafia.

Gkrieg13 stood off the side, leaning against the hard rock wall of the sietch meeting hall.  He looked at the grim cast of eight around the room, some sitting, others laying down, clearly in pain.  The withdrawal was starting to hit some worse than others.  Or did some still have secret stashes of the spice?

It was always the Fremen dream...a green Arrakis.  The end of Dune.  But at what cost?  The universe was dependent on the orange cinnamon dust for space travel, fortune telling, and power mongering.  Already news was traveling of spice hoards on other planets being raided; and supposedly the Tleilaxu were working on a replacement...

The Bene Gesserit were staying silent, afraid to anger the Twins.  But they must be planning something?  And this Preacher?  Could it really be him, returned?  Or just some lunatic gone mad in the hot sun.  No madder than Fremen in the desert willingly leaving his stillsuit behind...

But who can worry about an entire universe?  Better to protect your own, to keep your own slice of home safe, and alive.

Man. I had four strips of bacon yesterday. Was one automatically undercooked, one automatically overcooked? No, let's put a stop to that right here, all four strips were excellent.

They say there is no worse pain than the slice of a crysknife...they must never have known the pain of spice withdrawal.  It was affecting the entire sietch, even the children.  The poor children, feeling an unquenchable thirst, missing the memories of grasping sandtrout in their hands and feeling them crawl up their arms.  The disappearance of the desert, the disappearance of the worms was changing the Fremen completely.

2.71828..... was still a Fremen at heart, longing for the old days of normal thirst and blistering heat.  His hands were shoved in his pockets as he paced the main floor of the meeting hall, eyes darting from one to another of the eight in the room with him.  Who could he trust?  The ones who look cool and calm, or the ones in clear agony?

The ghola struggles in the capital, torn between love and loyalty.  It's a feeling the Fremen understand, torn now between the people of their lives...and the spice they might be hiding.

Terraforming: the scientific word for what was always the dream of every Fremen living on Arrakis, the desert planet.  A time when water was plentiful, stillsuits discarded, and life easier.

But it is always easy to dream about the impossible without consequences.  When it becomes possible, you forget to plan ahead, to worry about unwanted side effects.  And now here they were.

Lying on the ground, in visible pain, Roadrunner7671 rested.  He stared at the ceiling of the meeting hall, wondering where the many scratches there had come from.  In a small hollow naturally formed in the far wall, faust, another Fremen warrior -- for all Fremen are warriors -- leaned on one leg, staring coldly.  And close to the slightly raised dais where leaders spoke and duels were won, iguanaiguana stood with his back to the group.

The worms, gone.  The spice, dwindling.  The pain, growing.  Why had no one thought about this?  No desert means no worms.  Why would we ever want that?

Terror.  It was a feeling well understood now, as the withdrawal took over.  There was no other topic of conversation, no other thought on anyone's mind, no other dream at night.  The pain of need.

In the center of the room, kneeling with his eyes closed, silverspawn prayed.  It was an ancient prayer, older even than Muad'Dib.  What kept him from losing his mind?  What kept him from breaking out in a cold sweat?  Faith?  Something else?

His eyes opened.  Along with the others -- gkrieg13, 2.7, RoadRunner, Faust, iguanaiguana -- he wondered about the final three in the room.  And what could nine desperate souls accomplish?
