  • Chapter 5
  • What what have you done?
  • The Medica --we thought--
  • UUuuh...
  • Hey hey. Pump the brakes, sweets. We're not sure what that thing did to you.
  • Nuh... neither am I.
  • I am cured of the Ghoul poison. And my blindness...
  • ...The Medica had seen it as one more thing to be corrected...
  • In terms it understood.
  • Information.
  • AAaaAAAAggGhhhh!
  • Orokin technological connections forced into my human brain...
  • ...the mind of a dead ship merging with my own...
  • ...like picturing something I couldn't imagine in colors I'd never seen...
  • like forcing a universe into a matchbox.
  • I felt it replacing my sight at the cost of my mind.
  • I came seeking the Arogya Medica
  • Stand firm, Grineer!
  • My key to commanding the Warframes.
  • I came seeking control...
  • And found instead...
  • Omnipotence.
  • The ship... wants me to see... as it sees...
  • It's too much! My mind... my mind isn't built to...!
  • AHHHH!
  • I see what the ship sees. I know what the ship knows.
  • Mitsuki... if that's true...
  • BRAKKA BRAKKA BRAKKA
  • RoooooAAARRGGH
  • SKREEEET
  • We could use your help getting out of this one.
  • Paradise for one such as myself.
  • GLAAAK
  • ROOORGH
  • CHITTA CHITTA CHITTA
  • But the door will not hold these Corrupted for long.
  • They will break through, and all this will be lost.
  • I must leave this place...
  • Neutralize all threats...
  • Before returning to claim this prize of prizes.
  • For the Queens. For the Grineer.
  • Gate sentries! What is your status?
  • No change.
  • And the path ahead?
  • Tenno skoom in Medica Chamber. Trapped.
  • Good.
  • Give us something, Kiddo. Show us a way out.
  • Too much... like my mind... is inverted.
  • AAaaa-AAAAGH!
  • Mitsuki!
  • "Mitsuki...
  • "Girl.
  • "You gotta make this happen.
  • BUDDABUDDABUDDA
  • SREEEK
  • BOAM BOAM
  • AAAOOOOGH
  • "You have to."
  • I see it. I see them all.
  • Infested, Grineer, the Corrupted... the Orokin defenses failing to keep them at bay.
  • Now mining variables. Two-hundred complex simulations. Conclusion --
  • No escape.
  • Push them back! Away from the treasure room!
  • Towards the Medica!
  • Today, we slay a Tenno.
  • Weakness. Doubt. All has been burned from me in this crucible.
  • These abominations will not keep me from my prize.
  • Open fire!
  • Vor found something terrible. Little Duck.. we can't let him have it. We have to stop him.
  • Look, sweets, my old man had a saying:
  • "Wishes don't mean dirt if you're dead."
  • You're in shock, we're outnumbered and Lotus is gone.
  • It's time to cut our losses and leg it.
  • And where exactly will we 'leg it'?
  • If Vor succeeds here...
  • There won't be anywhere we can go that the Grineer don't control.
  • Anywhere?
  • Anywhere.
  • My dad was brain-shelved for jacking a shipment of drain plungers.
  • I'm just saying: the man was no genius.
  • Everything I want. Everything I've fought for.
  • Cut it open. Clear the way.
  • Power and glory to my soldiers and my Queens.
  • All that stands between myself and that honor is this door...
  • and the last of my enemies.
  • Tenno! Surrender.
  • WHUNG
  • tink tink tink
  • BWOOM
  • WHOOOOSH
  • Everything I want.
  • This ship belongs to the Grineer.
  • Everything I had.
  • Vor took from me.
  • Surprise.
  • And now he's trapped us.
  • I should have destroyed you.
  • Along with your village.
  • My friends are hurt. Exhausted.
  • Agh!
  • They carried me so far. They protected me for so long.
  • Now it's my turn.
  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
  • Wha--
  • No more!
  • No more.
  • Whoa.
  • RAAOoOooRRRGGHHH!
  • Run.
  • That was for my mother! My father!
  • Fun thing about revenge, love. For just a second...
  • ...it feels like leaving something behind.
  • But, turns out, what you think you laid to rest just comes back stronger.
  • As something else.
  • kra-BOOOM
  • The ship is preparing more corrupted. Hurry!
  • We're clear. Channels are open.
  • You're alive! Mag, make sure the Gate is stable.
  • No time for data mining. You'd need days to bypass the first ward. Let it go.
  • My brave Tenno. I can save him, Lotus. I can see into the Ascaris.
  • No time.
  • "You have to leave this ship and pull the key from Earthside."
  • Captain...
  • "Before your enemies can follow."
  • Stand... firm....
  • The way is safe. Move now.
  • I could have paid off a hundred rigs...
  • Here.
  • You'd need days. It's what I could scrape in only a few seconds. I hope it helps.
  • She's all growed up.
  • Get Excalibur to safety!
  • Pulling the Void Key!
  • Farewell, ship.
  • Blind again.
  • I think not.
  • One last test of valor.
  • Girl.
  • "Your friends are dead, or soon will be. I have won.
  • "But I am Grineer. I am made of something better-- made for something better."
  • I will grant you a merciful end.
  • If you've any last words...
  • Say them nooOORRRHHKK!
  • Ghhhk-- No-- Ahhhk--
  • No more talking, Vor.
  • My Tenno.
  • What was it Little Duck said about revenge?
  • That which you lay to rest...
  • ...only comes back stronger?
  • We'll see about that.
  • The repayments on this...
  • ...are gonna kill me.
  • Tenno.
  • From here our paths will diverge.
  • But know that wherever we may go, whatever wars we may fight...
  • we fight together.
  • My sight died once I lost my connection to the ship. But the universe feels brighter to me now.
  • I would reward your valor with rest, Tenno.
  • But across the system, chaos is spreading.
  • The war is far from over.
  • New friends...
  • Data haul converted repairs and this month's interest, at least. That's not nothing.
  • Onward and upward.
  • Even a new place to call my own.
  • From memories of a past yet to be, you are known to us. You have had, do, and shall have a long association...
  • with her.
  • I'm... with who?
  • By the Unum--
  • "Precisely."
  • After everything we've been through, everything we've fought for...
  • I can't help but feel a little hope.
  • The End.
