Some days it's melange; some days it's bitter dirt.
-Rakian Aphorism
Sheeana is laying atop a dune waiting for a worm to come. She's been with the Rakian priests for three years now, since near her eigth birthday when a worm ate her village and took her to Keen. The priests had witness this and two came and bowed before her. She called the priests bad and danced for hours, asking God to forgive them. No worm came to her dancing and they felt they were forgiven. The priests took her back to Keen and debate whether or not she is the child of Shai-Hulud and test her by leaving her in the desert with a replica of a thumper. Two worms came and stopped before her as the priests watched from a 'thopter above. The worms had refused to eat her again and she was returned to Keen. Word reached Chapterhouse the next day.
