Chapter 2
Victor was flying-or so it seemed-threw the air, and he landed onto an outcropping of rock with an audible
THUD!
He un-strapped himself from the seat, and quickly armed himself with a MP530 submachine gun, an old Maula pistol, and set off quickly across the sands.
He knew every step that he was in the danger of sandworms, but all the worms were focused on the battle raging out on the open sand, with explosions erupting everywhere and his shielded ornithopter still glowing brightly.
He looked up, watching for any ornithopters. There were none, all shot down by treacherous Harkonnens.
He ran faster and more determinedly. At long last he reached the Harkonnen base. There was barely anything left of it, but Victor managed to seize a barely standing barracks.
As he stepped inside the barracks, he saw something that looked more like a bombed out bunker than anything else.
Girders were sticking out in Victor's path, wires were everywhere, sparks were flying, and only a few shafts of light pierced through the wreckage. As he went through the practically destroyed barracks, he found a small circle of Harkonnen soldiers huddled around a small fire.
He felt saddened at them like that, lonely and scared, but he had his orders.
After that, he took over an outpost and transmitted to his Atreides comrades,
"Harkonnen threat eliminated. Gun turrets captured. Spice silos captured. Requesting additional support for defense if we come under fire. I am the only one here now, and will not be able to hold if attacked."
He put down the transmitter.
Now it was just waiting.
