They say fortune favors the bold. Feeling lucky today, Tenno?

20 > Baro

I simply don't have time to sort through all of this. You're doing me a favor, Tenno.

30 > Baro

Even I have no idea what's inside.

40 > Baro

That was in there? Goodness me.

50 > Baro

The thrill of a good find… It's incomparable.

60 > Baro

Do peruse my regular wares too, won't you?

70 > Baro

Oh, and no refunds.

80 > Baro

Still better than a Darvo deal.

90 > Baro

Sometimes my daring relic-seekers bring back such folderol. And sometimes they uncover priceless treasures. It's why I keep them around.

100 > Baro

It's never been easier to be a customer!

110 > Baro

You know, Tenno, it pains me to part with anything for such a meager price. But needs must.

120 > Baro

Maybe you'll find an invitation to one of my parties! No, of course you won't.

130 > Baro

Baro, I hear you ask, how are you so successful you can give away all this for next to nothing? First, you have to be as suave and cunning as me.

140 > Baro

I wouldn't have become the most successful Void Trader in the Origin System without relishing the call of uncertainty.

150 > Baro

Opening this box is a lot like an expedition to the Void. You never know what to expect.

160 > Baro

Well, well. It seems my loss is your gain.

This is how it starts. Do you ever feel like you're being watched? That prickling sensation on the back of your neck, a sinking feeling in your stomach? You're absolutely certain you're alone, but… what if?

Week1EnteredRelay

20 > Baro

Have you ever made childish bargains with yourself as the fear sets in? If I don't look, I can't be seen…

But the sensation grows. It grows and grows until the not knowing is more unbearable than the knowing.

Does indecision paralyze you? Cold. Frozen. Don't move. Don't draw attention.

Come to the Relay! Come and browse my wondrous wares. Shining like the stars that beckoned us ever onward… drifting away.

Come to the Relay. Before it's too late.

Our learning was to be our salvation! The secret workings of the cosmos at our fingertips. We looked to the skies with hope, naught beyond our reach… Are my wares beyond yours, Tenno?

Spectacular finds from the Void can be yours. Acquire them. Fill your hold and empty mine. These items will surely stand you in good stead when all is dust. Come to the Relay. See cosmic dust changing hands.

The sale of a lifetime! The deals are to die for! Once it begins there is no stopping it! It spreads like a cancer, like anesthesia. Inevitable. Implacable.

Build. It will be torn down. Words are wind with no ears to hear. Eat and before long you must eat again. Love will die. Dreams come true, become real, and pass away.

Life and time began with the heat and power of cataclysm. It ends with ignominious silence. The silence of apathy.

And into that silence came what comes after. The nothingness that is always watching. Always hungry. Knocking to be let in. Rap. Tap. Tap.

Tenno -

I'm dreadfully sorry to have missed our previous appointments. My ship's Void Drive has given me no end of trouble. By my calculations I have been gone twice as long as usual. Quite unsettling, even for a seasoned trader such as myself.



I'm certain you've been missing my Void goods of the highest quality, but I beg your patience yet further, for I must perform maintenance on my ship after such an extensive trip. I shall see you again at my next scheduled visit.



Graciously,

Baro Ki'Teer



P.S. When I emerged from the Void, this was here, as though it had been all along. This "portrait"... I cannot bring myself to destroy it, nor to sell it. Please, take it from me. Truth be told I am glad to be rid of it.

Baro Ki'Teer, Void Trader extraordinaire, now at your service.

1030 > Baro

The Void is a place of endless probability. Unless you have a fleet of light-skippers and relic seekers, you'll never reach the depths I've plumbed.

1040 > Baro

I've encountered sights in the Void that would chill your blood, Tenno. We really must trade stories sometime.

GreetRich

1020 > Baro

I have traveled the unknowable vastness of the Void to provide delights for the discerning customer.

1080 > Baro

Your golden approach is music to my ears, Tenno.

1090 > Baro

I look forward to our mutual enrichment.

1100 > Baro

Only the finest for you, Tenno.

1110 > Baro

I might not approve of what the Orokin did, but I must admit they had style.

1120 > Baro

Oh, apologies, Tenno. Caught me at a bad time, I'm afraid. That benighted Granum keeps pestering me for a party invitation.

1250 > Baro

Good things come to those who wait.

NoPurchasePoor

1050 > Baro

My time here is almost up, Tenno! Come and get these fabulous offerings before they're gone!

1170 > Baro

Giving yourself something to look forward to?

1180 > Baro

It's important to have goals.

1190 > Baro

Is my stock insufficient? No, surely your funds are the problem.

1200 > Baro

This reminds me of the time my skip nearly ran afoul of a white hole. The wight which emerged was better company.

1230 > Baro

There is such a thing as being too discerning, you know.

1240 > Baro

Parvos Granum will never be invited aboard my treasure-yacht. And he knows exactly why.

LeavingSoon

1060 > Baro

Have you taken a look at my wares yet, Tenno? They won't be available for very much longer.

1070 > Baro

This may be the last time I offer some of these items for quite a while, Tenno. Be sure you don't miss out.

GreetPoor

1130 > Baro

Are you quite sure you're in the right place, Tenno?

1140 > Baro

I would never turn away a potential customer…

1150 > Baro

I suppose there's no harm in you taking a look.

1160 > Baro

Did you hear, Tenno? I had the finest inverted throat singer in the Origin System perform at my party last night. Perhaps someday you'll rate an invite.

NoPurchaseRich

1210 > Baro

Oh… I understand, of course. Quite the refined palate you have.

1220 > Baro

What more could you possibly ask for?

PurchasePoor

1260 > Baro

I suppose I ought not judge a book by its cover… or a Tenno by their gear.

1270 > Baro

You know, you might almost rate an invitation to one of my famous parties, Tenno. As a waiter, maybe. Or a hatstand.

1280 > Baro

Orokin gold… I collect it in the name of my tribe's stolen youth.

PurchaseRIch

1290 > Baro

You're one of my favourite customers, Tenno. Don't tell the others.

1300 > Baro

Oh I just knew I'd have something you'd like.

1310 > Baro

Do you ever wonder what I do with all your ducats? Well, keep wondering.

1320 > Baro

Some might say there's a better use for these Ducats. But I say, why should the Orokin get to have all the fun?

For so long, I have waited. But no more. I implore you to hurry. I do not know how long I have. New treasures will be yours, but beware. You must come NOW.



…Forgive my impatience, Tenno. I must see you. Fear nothing untoward. All will be well.



Gratefully,

Ki'Teer
