Their Galach was not local, with a heavy drawl that made initial read difficult. But Hadrian got their register faster than he should have. They used the cadence of people he had been dealing with in the past. Short sentences, ellipsis, abbreviations. Combat efficency. Mercs.

Atreides. Vintner. Games. Boss. Daughter. Chilon. Make sure. Halleck. Same way. Message. Set up.

Hadrian certainly looks more thoughtful now.

"Not great... they know something." He looks at Emcas and then Laila. "Something about Halleck."

Well, shit.

Laila wasn't exactly full of love for the Atreides at this precise moment, but getting back someone they actually gave a shit about would be excellent leverage...

Wait, does Emcas know who Halleck is?

No, no he didn't.
