Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
The Bene Gesserit Reverend Mother arrives on Caladan to test Paul Atreidies with The Box and the Gom Jabbar, a test in which failure means death. His mother Jessica, also a Bene Gesserit, leaves the room. It seems that it isn't until she returns to the room, sees Paul alive and states 'My son lives', that she knows he has passed the test and is alive.
When Arrakis is overtaken by the Harkonen, Paul and Jessica are banished to the desert. During this period Duke Leto dies and Jessica 'senses' it and becomes quite distraught.
If Jessica, using her Bene Gesserit powers could sense Leto's death hundreds of miles away, why couldn't she sense whether Paul, who was only in the same building was alive or dead, but had to wait until she saw him? [Because a Reverend Mother was in the room with Paul - she could easily have been shielding the room with thought to ensure that no outside forces would interfere with the testing. According to the books, they could do that. That could easily explain why Jessica had no knowldege of the happenings in the room.]
