The Sandflies
![]() | Codex Book |
Excerpt From the “Dune-Watch Network” Communinet Show It’s a sham, people! It’s a cynical mask worn by glorified bandits. These Sandflies like to make fiery speeches, like to claim they do it all for the people, but actions speak louder than ideological words. Destroyed property. Dead civilians. Broken laws. Put all of that on one scale, and all of their speeches and manifestos on the other, and see if it all balances out. They are not the voice of the people. They are not the spirit of labor. They are bandits, reavers, and thieves who happened upon a very fetching costume that sets them apart from the other scum. They are not apart! They swim in the filth and covet what the rest of us work for! When you judge the Sandflies, look to their actions, not their carefully cultivated words. Don’t play the fool for this trash. Don’t play the fool! Now… stay tuned for the Baron’s Most Wanted, right here on the Dune-Watch Network! Secret Recording of an Undercover Agent (since vanished) Speaker: Tonight, Sandflies, we remember. Crowd: We remember! Speaker: March 8th, 10,136. Crowd: We remember! Speaker: The Night of the Mudwalk. Crowd: We remember! Speaker: We remember the night. We remember the march, stumbling through sand mucked thick with the blood of the Harkonnen and the workers. The sucking wound of a dying revolt. Crowd: We remember! Speaker: We remember because they erased it from the official records. Harkonnen. Atreides. Imperium. They all take. They take our resources, our time, our health, the value of our labor. Now they even try to take our history. Crowd: We remember! Speaker: Remembering is an act of revolt! When remembering is a crime, know that the tyrant is among you! Know that though we use words tonight, we understand words are not enough. All of history teaches that words are not enough! Crowd: We remember! Speaker: In the name of the people! Crowd. In the name of the people! In the name of the people! |
