[edit] Copyright infringement

This entry is lifted verbatim and considerably abridged from "The Dune Encyclopedia" by Willis McNelly. I am reluctant to simply erase it, since I don't have anything to put in its place, but it really needs to be revised by someone more conversant with the Dune canon than I. -cwp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.241.8.250 (talk • contribs) 08:07, 15 June 2005

This entire article is copied verbatim from "The Dune Encyclopedia". I don't think this should continue in it's current form. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.164.250.107 (talk • contribs) 14:19, 8 July 2005

I wrote my own entry and credited the former post to Dr. McNelly. jlk —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.155.65.99 (talk • contribs) 07:03, 4 January 2006

[edit] Nullentropy tube

In the old canon, Leto II cells are NEVER mentioned. Leto II was the Prophet to the Tleilaxu, and there is no way Scytale could have just accidently forgot to mention them. That is a "new" canon addition TMB —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.35.104.139 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 8 March 2007

I put in a quote from Chapterhouse and separated out the Hunters info to make the designation; thanks for noticing the problem. TAnthony 14:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scytale in Heretics

One of the things that is mentioned in Heretics is that all of the most important Tleilaxu knowledge has been concentrated into one powerful goverment, and that Scytale had spoken with Muad'dib himself. Is this worthy of mention? (Note that "everyone of them" had been awakened in ghola flesh time and time again--so the present Scytale is a serial ghola) The quote from Heretics:

"There! Let them think on that! Every one of them here had been wakened time after time in ghola flesh. There was a fleshly continuity in this Council that no other people had ever achieved. Mirlat himself had seen the Prophet with his own eyes. Scytale had spoken to Muad'dib! Learning how the flesh could be renewed and the memories restored, they had condensed this power into a single government whose potency was confined lest it be demanded everywhere." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tleilax Master B (talk • contribs) 21:21, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

I did incorporate part of this quote and one from Chapterhouse because they seem to be the only ones that indicate that the "new" Scytale is a reincarnation of the one from Messiah and thus a Face Dancer-turned-Master. TAnthony 23:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
