Clearing his mind in the ways of the Bene Geserite like his mother taught him he notices a master seeker. This is a remote controlled assassin very small and set off by the slightest motion. Paul knows he must be very still and must somehow catch it.As the seeker is searching the room for Paul, he hears footsteps going to the door. Set off by the motion at the door the hunter seeker flies to stab the intruder. Paul quickly grabbed it out of the air, and saved shadow Mapes life.
