Till The Very Last Minute by joulester on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Let us all take a moment to shout out to the tough guys on the planet Arrakis - or as the locals call it, Dune - who endlessly work the giant harvesters, braving fierce, territorial Sandworms and flesh-ripping sandstorms to bring us our Spice Melange, where it is said that one briefcase full of Spice would be enough to purchase an entire planet, or one teaspoon in your coffee would let you see visions of the future.

So valuable is Spice Melange that, even in the face of the granddaddy of all worms, the harvester crews will savagely insist on working to dredge up every last thimblefull of the stuff until the very last minute.
