Lady: Did you have to go that far?
Gaius: You chose to train him in the Way, in defiance of our rule. He wields our power. He had to be tested to the limits. So much potential, wasted in a male. You were told to bear only daughters. But you, in your pride, thought you could produce the Kwisatz Haderach.
Lady: Was I wrong?
Gaius: You're lucky he didn't die in that room. If he is The One, he has a long way to go. His Sight is barely awakened, and now he goes into the fire. But our plans are measured in centuries. We have other prospects if he fails his promise.
Lady: Do you see so little hope?
Gaius: On Arrakis, we have done all we can for you. A path has been laid. Let's hope he doesn't squander it.
