Yep.
Named after an Ixian named Rogo, who taught C'Tair how to build it after he was dead. He was taught by visions of a dead guy (and I'm pretty sure there was no OM involved, latent or otherwise).
C'Tair had vision of a dead guy??? Was not it a Rogo's hologram???
Holy shit! It was even worst that I thought....Did they introduce ghosts in Duniverse??
I don't think it was OM, because Rogo is not preceding C'tair...
Here it is the transcription:
House Atreides, page 424 wrote:
Through smoke and acrid fumes, he recognized the form of the old inventor Davee Rogo, the crippled genius who had befriended the twins and taught them his innovations. As C'tair gasped, the apparition began to whisper in a frail, creaking voice. Was it a ghost . . . a vision, a mad hallucination? Eccentric Rogo seemed to be telling C'tair what to do, what technological components he needed, and how to put them all together.
"Are you real?" C'tair whispered, stepping closer. "What are you telling me?"
For some reason the blurry image of old Rogo did not respond to questions. C'tair didn't understand, but he listened. Wires and metal parts lay strewn at his feet where a machine had been wrecked by indiscriminate explosives. These are components I need.
There were ghosts in Dune. When Liet is left out to die in the desert, the ghost of his father lectures him as he dies. Some people think it was just a halucination, but those people are dumb-dubms.
See, there are no inconsistencies between the new books and the originals, it's just the readers's fault for not paying attention.
Sorry, but i don't think that....
For me, what happened to Liet always will be a natural hallucination, because this is the explanation that make sense in the Duniverse, not ghosts.
Lets put Dune in his real genre: It's a Science Fiction. Not fantasy.
We never saw in the original Dune books any expression of "the spiritual realms", "actions of God" or something like that.
It would be a non-sense believe in such thing coming from Frank Herbert's Dune books. A universe where the characters manipulate the religions and play of Gods.
"Some people think it was just a halucination, but those people are dumb-dumbs."
I think that you didn't understand the real plots inside Dune.
