arnoldo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Is it possible that face dancers infiltrated Chapterhouse at some point in time? IIRC, there is some mention in CH:D regarding food which Odrade tastes which is slightly off. . . perhaps indicating that a face dancer chef isn't able to get a dish just so.

arnoldo Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 Being surrounded by a moat of no-ships would've made face dancer infiltration of Chapterhouse highly unlikely, not to mention the risk of being detected by RM's. However, if any face dancers would've managed to infiltrate the Bene Gesserit it probably would've been at the acolyte level. A more likely opportunity for face dancer infiltration would've occurred elsewhere such as during the Battle of Junction. Teg gestured at his useless pod."Why don't I have a Communications backup?""A big laze got both backups in the same burn as they were coming in."They were together?"Haker heard the anger."Sir, they were . . .""No important equipment is sent in together. I'll want to know who disobeyedorders." The quiet voice from immature vocal cords carried more menace than ashout."Yes, Bashar."Strictly obedient and no sign from Haker that the mistake was his own. . . It's hard to explain why Haker would disobey Teg and then refuse to admit he was responsible but of course it could've simply been a mistake. If face dancers were to infiltrate the BG forces, and later Chapterhouse, the easiest route would be to assume the persona of a Honored Matre. Then, when the Honored Matres began arriving at Chapterhouse, the face dancers would establish a foothold on Chapterhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Any face dancer good enough to fool a Reverend Mother also fooled itself, see Heretics and the Tleilaxu disappointment therein. QED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Any face dancer good enough to fool a Reverend Mother also fooled itselfI don't remember quite clearly right now, but I think the Reverend Mothers still could detect the new Face Dancers, even though Waff hoped they wouldn't be able to.

Gave her nasty gas.You know, the kind that takes the paint off the walls after a while.(They could still detect the smell.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
