[Part 13]


That new Foundation TV series was pretty good! Here’s more Dune!!

--------------------------------

A seven panel comic featuring characters from Dune. Earlier comics provide context. Thufir Hawat is a new character, a black man with a scarred face and a white beard, dressed in yellow.

Panel 1: 

Piter is cheerfully holding a coffee cup. There’s a cookie on a plate next to him. He’s wearing a white renaissance style shirt.

Piter: ...And I'm sure we've ALL heard the one about 'mentat' being an acronym... "Managing Eminent Neurotypicals' Tasks, Albeit Thanklessly"? HA HA HA. Classic. I think I heard it first from Hari Seldon. God, he was such an asshole. So fun! I think he's dead.

There’s a musical note drawn at the end of Piter’s dialogue.

Panel 2:

Piter (holding up a small metal box): Thufir? Hasimir? Spice cube for your coffee? (musical note)

Panel 3:

Thufir Hawat is sitting next to Hasimir Fenring, both opposite Piter. Thufir has a small mug in front of him, Hasimir has a mug and a plate with a pastry on it.

Thufir (crossing his arms and scowling): We're here to talk about the matter of the gala, de Vries. Hasimir and I have busy schedules... seeing as your people have insisted that the party should be held on Giedi Prime, and security has become the issue that it is.

Hasimir is reaching to take Piter up on his offer, but now he’s looking at Thufir and hesitating.

Panel 4: 

A zoomed-out view of the scene shows that they’re sitting at a table at a cafe. Piter is looking at Hasimir and holding up a spice cube, a wordless invitation. Hasimir is smiling and sliding his coffee mug forward. Thufir’s posture is unchanged.

Piter: Ohhh... that's right... silly me, arranging a deliberately ambiguous meeting close to a big event we're all preparing for... Now that you're both here, I was actually hoping that I could possibly trouble you for insight on a personal matter. Please?

Thufir (looking to the side, quietly): Unbelievable...

Panel 5: 

In the background, Piter is still smiling as he meanly throws the spice cube directly at Hasimir’s forehead.

 Thufir: And why should we help a Harkonnen agent with a "personal matter"?

Piter: You don't have to. But it's a cold world out there... us brain-weird folks could stand to stick together sometimes, eh?

Panel 6:

Thufir (from off-screen): Could stand to... Piter, you’re the one who killed Hari Seldon.

Piter (blinking innocently, looking shocked): Was I? ...Oh. That’s right, yes. But... but it was for work?

Panel 7:

Piter (from off-screen): And hey! You both knew that the math prediction thing his House had him working on was making powerful enemies! Neither of you stepped in and helped him... and look what happened to him! This is exactly what I mean! A cold, cold world!

Thufir is glowering and holding a hand to his mouth, and his eyebrow is twitching. Hasimir is completely occupied with finding the spice cube, and he looks a little frantic.
