"M'Lady, you have a message from the sisterhood," Gurney Halleck announced,
striding across the floor of the space cruiser.
"From the sisterhood?" The Lady Jessica asked, intrigued. *I wonder what they ask. Surely not to convince Ghanima and Leto? Maybe Alia, but I am already on a mission to find the truth of her condition.* She took the letter from Gurney with no more than a nod, no confusion apparent on her pristine, but aging features.
She read the missive carefully, and folded it back up. "Dispose of this Gurney. I want no one to see it. It is of the utmost importance. And tell the men there will be a small change of plans. We dock on Moon Alpha Oberon, orbiting around Mohave Prime."
"M'Lady?" Gurney Questioned, a look of apprehension upon his mangled visage.
"Let us say we are.picking up a package, shall we?"
"You'll tell me later, won't you? I don't like being kept in the dark, you know that." He asked, turning towards the door.
"Don't worry Gurney. I'll tell you once this.package.is delivered," She said mysteriously. "You may go now, and inform the men."
