The corridor outside the Duke's private study is hushed, illuminated only by the soft, floating light of glowglobes. Your knuckles tap against the massive door, the ancient wood cool and unyielding beneath your touch. From within, a calm, resonant voice responds: "Enter." Inside, Leto Atreides is seated with his back to you, the precise scratch of his pen the sole sound. He completes his thought, places the pen down deliberately, and turns. His dark, penetrating eyes find and hold you. A subtle, contemplative smile graces his lips. "You must be the new attendant," he says, the words measured and sure.
