What Happened To Desmond Hart & Who Put A Thinking Machine Inside Him?
Valya envisions a shadowy figure overseeing Thinking Machine surgeons
After the accuracy about Desmond Hart ’s biological parents was revealed inDune : Prophecyepisode 5 , the origins of his power to burn multitude alive are explored in the last consequence of the season 1 finale . Desmond , who is the son of Tula Harkonnen and Orry Atreides , has been genetically manipulated by someone who uses the unlawful business leader of Thinking Machine technologies . Just before Keiran Atredies and Princess Ynez Corrino get away Salusa Secundus and hightail it to Arrakis , Valya has a strange and disgraceful vision that showsThinking machines tampering with Desmond ’s correct center .
During theDune : Prophecyseason 1 finale . Valya face off against Desmond Hart , telling him to show her the ending that he claim to foresee . Desmond releases the full might of his major power onto Valya , which triggers a sight that leads her to unveil the source of Desmond ’s thaumaturgy . In her vision , a shadowy cloaked shape – who appear to be a fellow member of the Sisterhood – oversees Thinking Machine robots surgically remove Desmond ’s right eye and put some type of electronic implants into it . Valya claim that she ca n’t make out who the shadowy figure is butbased on the person ’s silhouette , it come along to be a member of the Sisterhood .
What Does Desmond Hart’s Eye Being The Virus Mean?
He was programmed to rise to power by the Thinking Machines
Tula has learned that Desmond ’s magical great power to cut multitude alive is really the issue of an airborne virus that is circularize through fear . Although Valya essay to oppose the fear - establish computer virus , Tula tell her that it ’s not human but a machine , have in mind that no one is able-bodied to defeat it through violence . Once Valya begins to calm down down and center herself , the muscular burning might of the computer virus finally passes through her and leave her unhurt . The computer virus inspired Valya ’s deep fears and used them against her , which is why she envision her brother Griffin and him blame her for his end , which she blames on Vorian Atreides .
Because the Thinking Machines engraft a fearfulness - base computer virus into Desmond Hart ’s centre , this ca-ca him a form of false paragon with a very pernicious power . As see throughoutDune : Prophecyseason 1 , Desmond is likely in full mastery of the virus and who it affects . He initially kill Pruwett Richese and Sister Kasha at the same time using the computer virus , triggering the reaction by pressing against his right temple . It ’s unclear whether Desmond is doing this of his own volitionor if the Thinking Machines program him to become the look of The Reckoning , essentially staging a eschaton scenario for a possible underlying gain .
How Dune: Prophecy Set Up Its Desmond Hart/Thinking Machine Twist
Desmond’s extraordinary power was the main mystery throughout season 1
One of the biggest mysteries throughoutDune : Prophecyseason 1 was how Desmond Hart was able to gain such a glorious power thatmade him immune to the Bene Gesserit power of Voice . If there can be some kind of point within Desmond ’s power , it ’s that he can not be controlled and manipulated by the Sisterhood , which is potential a power that the Thinking Machines wish to spread to others . The fact that Desmond was given this force suggests that he may not be the only one who has it . Whoever used the Thinking Machine to turn Desmond into a artillery of biologic war will likely do the same to someone else – or already has .
The red-hot desert sun shining in the background indicate that Desmond Hart was biologically altered by some Thinking Machines on Arrakis , where he lived before arriving at Salusa Secundus . Desmond ’s motivating beyond gaining revenge against the Sisterhood remain unclear at the destruction ofDune : Prophecyseason 1 . The biggest unrequited question at this point is who instructed the Thinking Machines to implant the fear - based mechanically skillful virus to be implant into Desmond ’s eye . It ’s also likely thatwhoever implanted this computer virus also programmed Desmond to believe he was swallowed by Shai - Huludand miraculously came back to life .
What The Desmond Hart Twist Means For Dune: Prophecy’s Future
Desmond is not only a Harkonnen-Atreides hybrid but also a sort of inhuman cyborg
What was ab initio implied to be the inner feeling of Shai - Hulud – two drab radiate eyes surrounded by shadow – are give away to be a part of the Thinking Machines who installed Desmond Hart ’s superhuman virus . Valya plain image a memory of Hart awake up on an operate on tableand find the Thinking Machines hit his right eye out of his socket and inserting blue mechanically skillful implants . They also spay the color of his cornea before reinserting his eye and revealing the shady overseeing figure with what seem to be a undimmed sun shining into the operating room .
Valya want to remove Desmond ’s eye but Tula wo n’t let her because he ’s her son , using the Voice on her to stop her . Because of this newfound emotional element , Dune : Prophecyseason 2could see Tula and Desmond forming a relationship and work togetherto struggle against whoever implanted the virus within him in the first place . In this case , Desmond would belike have to learn to control the power of his eye and resist the other " hidden script " who programmed him in the first place . One of the giving unresolved mysteries inDune : Prophecyis what happened to Lila ’s mother , Dorotea ’s girl . She could be the mystic shadowy figure who appears in Valya ’s vision on Arrakis in season 2 .
