Dune Prophecy: How Did The Thinking Machine Get Inside Desmond Hart? Explored

As per Screenrant, the magical powers of Desmond Hart manifested in Dune: Prophecy’s season one finale is fueled by the Thinking Machines. The six-episode series is adapted from the novel Sisterhood of Dune, published in 2012, and takes place 10,000 years before Paul Atreidies stands at the helm. The series rides on the origins of the much-feared shadow sisterhood, the Bene Gesserit, as it creates and manipulates human destiny. Indeed, it makes for a thrilling and thought-provoking watch.

Who Put A Thinking Machine Inside Desmond Hart?

Desmond Hart is a product of genetic manipulation done on the son of Tula Harkonnen and Orry Atreides. His power of burning people to ashes is fully explored in the finale of season one. Valya has a vision that alerts her of the Thinking Machines interfering with Desmond’s right eye before Keiran Atredies and Princess Ynez Corrino escape Salusa Secundus and Arrakis.

In the Dune: Prophecy season 1 finale, Valya faces Desmond Hart, who boasts of foreseeing the end. Desmond uses his full strength, unleashing a vision through which Valya is able to discover the source of Desmond’s magic. In the vision is a cloaked shadowy figure, suspected to be Sisterhood-affiliated, who surgically abducts Desmond’s right eye and implants electronics into him. Although Valya does not know who the figure is, it seems likely that this is a member of the Sisterhood through its silhouette.
