Industrialist Josef Venport squares off against Torondo, whose interference thwarts Venport's business interests.

When Gilbertus refuses to force his Mentats to swear an oath to the Butlerians, his school is invaded and his past as a "machine sympathizer" is revealed. He is executed by Manford, but Anna Corrino escapes with Erasmus. Meanwhile, a riot incited by Torondo results in the death of Roderick's daughter; Salvador seizes the lucrative <a href="/wiki/Melange_(fictional_drug)" title="Melange (fictional drug)">melange</a> mining operations on <a href="/wiki/Arrakis" title="Arrakis">Arrakis</a> from Venport, who soon uses the constant danger of giant <a href="/wiki/Sandworm_(Dune)" title="Sandworm (Dune)">sandworms</a> to orchestrate the Emperor's assassination. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Raquella_Berto-Anirul" class="mw-redirect" title="Raquella Berto-Anirul">Raquella Berto-Anirul</a> has reestablished her Bene Gesserit school on <a href="/wiki/Wallach_IX" class="mw-redirect" title="Wallach IX">Wallach IX</a>, thanks to the help of Josef Venport.
