Letter · The Kynes

Letter from Derek Chinara to his advisor at the Imperial Academy of Planetary Ecology

Supervisor Haert,
I am writing to request access to the further works of Planetary Ecologist Pardot Kynes. His work on planetary transformation through direct human intervention is fascinating.
However, due to where his work took place – Arrakis - I find many of his lectures and studies are restricted. Is this because of the importance of the spice mélange to the Imperium and the navigators?
Having examined what little of his work I could find, I am in agreement with Kynes – the polar caps of Arrakis cannot sustain the general moisture found in simple air samples – so where is the water?
And what of Kynes himself? The man married a native woman, a Fremen? And he had a child.
I hope you will see fit to grant me access to the restricted works. My own research on terraforming through fertilization of soils would benefit greatly.
Derek.
