Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I just read in legends of dune that Omnius sendt clones of himself out in the universe. beyond the galaxy, to encounter humans if they were ever to get this far out in the universe.1: This means that Omnius saw the possibility of defeat. that he might not be able to kill all hrethgirs?2: Could this be the enemy that D'murs navigator brother saw when the heighliner he controlled was set of course with artficial spice?

Acriku Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 He didn't see it, but he did want to expand his reign, the more galaxies you own the more resources and more power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanguard3000 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Maybe Newt is picky like me. A written number equal to or under ten (some say one hundred, but I'm not a big fan of writing a number if it requires a dash. ;)) should be written with letters, not numbers.Or he may have some completely different reason for posting that. I'm not a friggin' mind reader! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel_Worf Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 Well, it was just a quicker way... not as bad as some people who type like: u r my best frnd! i want 2 talk 2 u! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I know what you mean. That has two small numbers that aren't written with letters. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 24, 2003 Author Share Posted February 24, 2003 He didn't see it, but he did want to expand his reign, the more galaxies you own the more resources and more power.then how come he said that he wanted them to be there waiting for the hrethgir when they ever expanded that much into the universe??I think that it was stupid of Brian and Kevin to write that, they spoiled everything. what they really say is that the machines are going to loose >:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 How does that equate to the machines losing? Just that if the humans ever expanded outside their galaxy, the Omnius machines would be there already waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 Why would the humans expand in the universe while fighting the machines? they would be more likely to use their resources to fight the machines, and after they had defeted them, they would expand.see my point??

Vanguard3000 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 The machines had been fighting the League for a very long time, IIRC. A lot of that time would have been uneasy waiting periods. I think they say in the book that, before the attack on SS, they hadn't been attacked in a few hundred years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 25, 2003 Author Share Posted February 25, 2003 yeah I remember that, but I don't see why they should use resources anyway to expand their innhabited planets, when it was hard enough to defend the few they had.maybe they would seek help from an Extra terrestrial specie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 My guess is that they were looking for possible places to relocate if they have to retreat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 25, 2003 Share Posted February 25, 2003 It is always a good idea to have more planets, because the more planets - the more resources. The more resources, the more ships. The more ships, the less enemies. The less enemies, the more ships. The more ships, the less enemies. The less enemies, the more ships. You get my point?

Vanguard3000 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 Acriku-: IIRC, the probes were meant for long range (i.e. a very long time at FTL speed), so I don't think they just wanted mining colonies or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 The hrethgir or machines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanguard3000 Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 The hrethgir. The machines used it for a similar purpose - for expanding the Synchronized Worlds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted February 26, 2003 Share Posted February 26, 2003 But the purpose of expansion? More resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Harkonnen Posted February 26, 2003 Author Share Posted February 26, 2003 the will to conquer is one likely reason. finding new resources to develop new technologies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
