Laughter
was
abrupt
and
too
loud
.
An
ornithopter
replaced
the
carryall
in
the
projection
focus
.
“
These
‘
thopters
are
fairly
conventional
,
”
Hawat
said
.
“
Major
modifications
give
them
extended
range
.
Extra
care
has
been
used
in
sealing
essential
areas
against
sand
and
dust
.
Only
about
one
in
thirty
is
shielded
—
possibly
discarding
the
shield
generator
’
s
weight
for
greater
range
.
”
“
I
don
’
t
like
this
de
-
emphasis
on
shields
,
”
the
Duke
muttered
.
And
he
thought
:
Is
this
the
Harkonnen
secret
?
Does
it
mean
we
won
’
t
even
be
able
to
escape
on
shielded
frigates
if
all
goes
against
us
?
He
shook
his
head
sharply
to
drive
out
such
thoughts
,
said
:
“
Let
’
s
get
to
the
working
estimate
.
What
’
ll
our
profit
figure
be
?
”
Hawat
turned
two
pages
in
his
notebook
.
“
After
assessing
the
repairs
and
operable
equipment
,
we
’
ve
worked
out
a
first
estimate
on
operating
costs
.
It
’
s
based
naturally
on
a
depreciated
figure
for
a
clear
safety
margin
.
”
He
closed
his
eyes
in
Mentat
semitrance
,
said
:
“
Under
the
Harkonnens
,
maintenance
and
salaries
were
held
to
fourteen
per
cent
.
We
’
ll
be
lucky
to
make
it
at
thirty
per
cent
at
first
.
With
reinvestment
and
growth
factors
accounted
for
,
including
the
CHOAM
percentage
and
military
costs
,
our
profit
margin
will
be
reduced
to
a
very
narrow
six
or
seven
per
cent
until
we
can
replace
worn
-
out
equipment
.
We
then
should
be
able
to
boost
it
up
to
twelve
or
fifteen
per
cent
where
it
belongs
.
”
He
opened
his
eyes
.
“
Unless
my
Lord
wishes
to
adopt
Harkonnen
methods
.
”
“
We
’
re
working
for
a
solid
and
permanent
planetary
base
,
”
the
Duke
said
.
“
We
have
to
keep
a
large
percentage
of
the
people
happy
—
especially
the
Fremen
.
”
