You are ushered into the Great Hall where a tall, shapely woman with fiery bronze hair stands. At hearing your footsteps on the cold, hard floor she turns and gives you a warm, welcoming smile.

"Welcome to Arrakis," she says in a pretty contralto voice. "I am the Lady Jessica. Duke Leto will be pleased to hear of your arrival. Someone will be along shortly to show you your rooms. Please wait here." She turns swiftly and makes her way out.

You turn to your colleages and friends who came with you on this journey, all having puzzled looks on their faces.

In steps the Duke Leto.
