Female mentat: The situation forces us to take the logical decision. The Harkonnen-Imperial alliance stands in the way of profit. That is untolerable. House Ordos is not strong enough to stop them alone. Logic dictates we seek an alliance with a noticeable force. The mercenaries are useless at this scale of the war. We cancelled all payments to them. The Executrix is seeking to ally with the Atreides. Stand-by, Executor, there is a direct transmission established with the Atreides Duke...
EXECUTRIX: Greetings, Atreides. We are going to be quick, as time means profit, and profit is priority. The alliance between Harkonnen and the Emperor represents a huge threat for our profits. And information tells us that Atreides are going through the same problems.
DUKE: That is not your concern. Our situation is not the same. What do you exactly want from us, creature?
EXECUTRIX: There is no meaning for insults for an Ordos. We keep ourselves focused on our vision, nothing shall stand in front of it, not even the duplicitous Emperor himself. You know it, Atreides: alone we won''t be able to stop this abomination. Logic dictates a necessary alliance between our forces to stand against our common enemy.
DUKE: An alliance? Alliances require the word "trust". We cannot ally with someone that we don''t trust.
EXECUTRIX: Unidentified word. Cannot take its meaning. Our objectives are clear, and we stand with them. Those who oppose them must be driven out of the way. Our extinction is not an option. Victory is the directive.Transmission has been interrupted...
Female Mentat: Leader, the Atreides have interrupted the transmission.
EXECUTRIX: That is normal. They are calculating the situations, measuring facts, taking decisions. The only possible answer is an affirmative one. Logic dictates so.
Transmission resumed...
DUKE: Your proposal has been accepted. But you shall not pass through our territories. We fight against the combined enemy forces, until they are defeated and the Emperor gets punished. That is all.
EXECUTRIX: Logical option chosen. Wise decision detected. Demands accepted. The contract will be created. The Ordos Cartel shall consider it and follow it. In the contract, House Ordos demands assistance on the battlefield close to all neighbour Atreides-Ordos territories, and in any region that is vital for our and your survival on Arrakis. That is the directive!
Transmission closed...
EXECUTRIX:Executor, you will fight alongside House Atreides against our common enemy, as logic requires. You shall follow the contract. But as we said, House Ordos will not win the war on the battlefield. Our main aim must be to obtain the Deviator. Technology is power, power is victory. That is a fact. Join the Atreides and block the Harkonnen-Sardaukar advance. That is the directive! When the time comes, we shall turn on the Atreides and claim what was rightfully ours: the Deviator. That is a certitude. We made a deal with the Smugglers: they will deliver some contraband vehicles at our Starport once it is constructed. We, in return, will give them protection. That is assistance.
Objective: Destroy all enemies.
女导师:当前的形式被迫让我们凭借逻辑做出这样的判断:哈肯尼-帝国军的联盟已经开始妨碍我们的利益,这是无法容忍的。奥多斯家族不能独自阻挡他们,逻辑告诉我们必须寻求一支显而易见的力量作为联盟。雇佣兵在这样规模的战争中并无作用,我们已经取消所有对他们的支付。继承者正寻求与亚崔迪的联盟。稍等,执行官,现在有一个与亚崔迪公爵的直连通信。
继承者:贵安,亚崔迪人。我们长话短说,因为时间就是利益,而利益是首要的目标。哈肯尼和皇帝之间的联盟对我们的利益构成了巨大的威胁。而情报显示,亚崔迪正与我们遭受同样的处境。
公爵:这与你无关,我们的处境与你们不同。你到底想要从我们这里获得什么,怪物?
继承者:辱骂对于一个奥多斯人来说毫无意义。我们只专注于胜利,其他任何事物都不能阻挡,即便是狡诈的皇帝他本人也不例外。这你是知道的,亚崔迪人,我们无法独自阻挡这些令人憎恶的家伙。组件一个联盟来抵抗我们共同的敌人才是符合逻辑的。
公爵:联盟?对于联盟,最重要的词语便是“信赖”,我们无法与并不信赖的人结盟。
继承者:无法辨识的词语,不能明白其含义。我们的目标很清楚,我们也决心实现。那些反对我们的人必须被赶走,我们的灭绝是绝不可能的。胜利才是唯一的选择。
连接中断了。。。
女导师:领袖,亚崔迪人中断了连接。
继承者:那很正常。他们正在计算处境,衡量事实,做出决定。逻辑使然,唯一的结果会是接受。
连接恢复
公爵:你的提议被接受了。但是你绝不可以通过我们的领土。我们与敌人的联合部队作战,直到他们被击败,而皇帝受到应有的惩罚。就是这样。
继承者:符合逻辑的选择,检测到你做出明智的决定。需求达成。盟约已经缔结,奥多斯联合会将会考虑并遵从盟约。在盟约中,奥多斯家族需要所有靠近亚崔迪-奥多斯 领土以及任何对于你我双方在阿拉基斯上存活的地区的战场上的支援。这就是指示。
连接已关闭。
继承者:执行官,你将与亚崔迪家族一同对抗我们共有的敌人,正如逻辑所需要的那样。你将服从盟约。但是如我们所说,奥多斯家族并不在战场上赢得战争,我们的首要目标是获取背叛者。科技就是力量,力量带来胜利。这才是事实。联合亚崔迪阻挡哈肯尼-萨杜卡联军的先头部队。这是给你的指示。当时机成熟,我们将会转向亚崔迪并得到本该属于我们的东西:背叛者。这是必然。我们已经和走私者达成协议,一旦我们建立好星港,他们就会运来走私的车辆,而作为交换,我们会为他们提供庇护,这是你可以得到的协助。
目标:摧毁所有敌人。
