  • Chapter 4
  • Something is wrong.
  • This ancient ship -- a vessel of the Orokin -- was supposed to be full of miracles, but...
  • I hear monsters.
  • I hear their scrabbling claws.
  • Smell the decay.
  • I feel the fear rise in my friends.
  • What is happening?!
  • There's too many.
  • I'm too damn old to die in a body I don't own.
  • What's attacking us? Doesn't sound like Grineer!
  • Infested. Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad you're blind.
  • Still no contact with the Lotus?
  • If she was as omniscient as she seemed, she'd have known coming here was a death trap.
  • I should have known coming here was a death-trap.
  • Horror stories. Check.
  • Ominous door. Check.
  • Monster closet, check-checkity mucking check.
  • Mag. That Ghoul poison's got its claws in our girl here. We need medical.
  • Chut. I'm...no. I can keep going.
  • Is that what destroyed the Orokin? These... Infested?
  • How could an empire so powerful just... end like this?
  • They made you. They made the Lotus.
  • They were gods.
  • They thought so.
  • They were wrong.
  • But they were miracle workers.
  • The Tenno are evidence of that. The greatest warriors ever known.
  • So... I am sure something remains on their ship--
  • Something that can heal me. Right, Tenno?
  • Lotus was trying to tell us about a relic on this ship. The Arogya Medica.
  • Right, Mag?
  • We get Mitsuki to it, let it do its thing, then--
  • KLANG KLANG
  • Ah, guts.
  • How considerate...
  • They left the door open.
  • Lets see that ladder-climber Vay Hek match this achievement.
  • All their tenacity, and they've played right into my hands.
  • The Tenno sought to keep this prize from us, Brothers and Sisters.
  • They slaughtered our brethren and fled into the unknown.
  • That witch even turned one of her prized Tenno warriors into so much junk, all in the hopes of keeping its power to herself.
  • And yet... she has failed.
  • We will unlock the secrets to control this Warframe, and more-- all the power of the Orokin will belong to the Grineer empire.
  • For the glory of the Queens.
  • Grineer! Forward march!
  • "I'll become a rail agent," I said.
  • "Pay off that rig in no time," I said.
  • Mitsuki, get back!
  • I hear her weapon clatter to the ground.
  • I feel the magnetic pulse from the Tenno, too far away to help.
  • I can barely move...
  • But I have to do this.
  • Catch!
  • Too late, I feel it behind me.
  • Mitsuki!
  • At least I didn't die a burden.
  • She's not moving!
  • She's barely breathing.
  • If she hadn't gotten me this rifle, I'd be cactus.
  • We might both be.
  • We owe her, copy?
  • I ain't gonna sham loyalty to your Lotus, an' I know you won't go against her warning--
  • but I'll beach this whole run if you don't help me get this girl to that Medica.
  • You can open this for me, or I can fiddle about with all this forbidden tech 'til somethin' happens...
  • I clocked that map, back when you were eyeballin' the terminals-- I know we're going the right way.
  • Now be a Love and help me with this, before we get rolled by a sea o' zits.
  • Tenno?
  • This place is familiar to you, isn't it, Mag?
  • Something from a half-remembered dream.
  • The pain is brief.
  • Wake up, Tenno.
  • Look, I know Solaris talks a big game, but this tech is a little beyond my ken.
  • A little help?
  • Sweet.
  • Short-short. Better get started.
  • KLANG KLANG
  • VWORP VWORP
  • SHNG
  • KLANG KLANG
  • Better than nothing.
  • You do know how to use that thing, right?
  • Think we have a chance, here?
  • REEARRGH
  • SKREEEE
  • CHTCHT CHTCHT CHT
  • They're close.
  • Sounds like a lot of 'em.
  • Ah well.
  • Let's see what the Orokin left behind for us...
  • Oh.
  • To arms!
  • For the Queens, Brothers and Sisters! For the Queens!
  • These ancient horrors are no match for Grineer training.
  • Hack that terminal! Quickly!
  • Excellent, now--
  • MEDICA ACTIVATED. HOSTILES DETECTED. PREPARING COUNTERMEASURES.
  • What was that?
  • Hold position!
  • We have come too far...
  • If the Tenno and her allies survived this, so will we!
  • There's not a lot left of me they could infect...
  • but I don't like her chances. Got any fantastic ideas?
  • AaaaAAaaahhHH!
  • KZZZZZZZZZZ
  • VRRRRMMMM
  • I said fantastic ideas. As in 'good'.
  • What'd you do?
  • NNnng...
  • What...what have you done?
  • To be continued...
