Eleanor, Helene For reasons unknown to her, she and Harq al Ada also named two of their daughters Eleanor and Helene She sought the source of this yearning, seeking out all the Voices bearing the general name As she worked her way through a myriad of Blames and Hclenes, she found an increasing number of Matres Executrice using the name Much to her frustration, though, whenever she tried to communicate with women historically close to her, she found that bom her grandmother Jessica and her father Paul blocked the Voices Jessica finally convinced Ghanuna that they were shielding her from the danger of Abomination, from a voice capable of con trolling her So, for seventy-nine years, Ghamma continued her work, avoiding the Voices close to her historically But decades of pent up curiosity finally drove her to try once more to contact the near Voices With the help of her mother, Chain-her ever willing "Guard to the Portal of Memory -Ghamma finally managed to break through Jessica s and Paul s suppression As recorded in Book of the Voices to Ghanima's as tomshment she heard the voice of her great grandmother Gams Helen Mohiam As soon as I entered the prana bindu suspension I heard a smalt shadow voice fighting its way through my grandmother s suppression Hear me' I will not hurt you You are blood of my blood and seed of my precious line I am Helen your great grandmother child As 1 test ed your father now can I test you You are more human than he for you are not afraid of your humanity Thus Ghamma discovered what her brother father and grandmother had tried to delete from history-that the Atreides not only had Harkonnen blood but also that of a powerful Bene Gessent Reverend Mother Ghanima's Commentaries explains the Harkonnen Mohiam connection A very young looking Helen using the name Tanidia Nerus, had been sent to the Harkonnens as a concubine Her assignment was to seduce Vladimir and produce a daughter (who, with the Atreides line would produce the mother of a Kwisatz Haderach) Obviously the rela tionship proved displeasing to both parties, and though Helen did become impregnated, Jessica was her only child As to the effect on Harkonnen, Gams Helen seemed sure that she was his one and only female partner She denied his later sexual preferences had anything to do with the one night she had spent with him After bearing Jessica and leaving her at a Bene Gessent Kinder House to be raised Gams Helen went on to become a Reverend Mother adept at the "Sight" She confirmed that she had become a member of the triumvirate, a Mater Executrix From the records of these conversations with Ghamma, we understand the Reverend Moth er as a powerful woman with only one goal- to gam the power of the Empire for the Bene Gessent J A C and G E 392 NAVIGATIONAL Further references ATREIDES LADY JESSICA HAR KONNFN HENF GESSERIT entries NERUS TAN1DIA R M Gams Helen Mohiam Diaries Lib Conf Tfemp Scnes 133 Lady Jessica and Ghamma Atreides Book of the Voices Rakis Ret Cat 1 BG164 BG165, BG166 Gtianima Atreides Commentaries So the Voices Rdkis Rcf Cat 37BG132 Anon The Welbeck Frogmen!
