1 > DruLev

[7.1]

Ah. Hello, friend. You find me now amidst the bones of all I am.

[12.4]

Of the thing that mattered most to me, in my too-long life.

[20.4]

You know, I wasn't sure it was possible to be less than a man, for I was a man, once.

[29.1]

This room was to be a shrine to one of my dearest friends, but now that shall never come to pass.

[35.2]

Look around and I will recount what was meant to be.

10 > DruLev

[3.9]

I've made such a terrible mistake, you see. 

[11.1]

In a universe at its own throat, where every living thing works daily to keep body and soul together, 

[15.9]

there's not much appetite for history. For stories.





[25.1]

The Leverian may not be a real place - a place you can reach out and touch - but to reality it was anchored. 

[28.8]

And reality demands a tithe. 

[31.9]

It takes coin to keep this place rezzed. 

[34.7]

This shrine to memory. 

[40.6]

And… a savvy businessman I was not.





[45.1]

To be less than a man is to be a fool. 

[48.4]

And fool I was.

20 > DruLev

[2.8]

Did I never tell you of Dante? 

[9.8]

No. I suppose I didn't. I suppose I hadn't the fortitude. 

[18.5]

The entirety of the Leverian is shaped by the lack of him - though perhaps only in ways that I can see. 





[27.6]

Though by definition a weapon of war, Dante was, first and foremost, a student of history. 

[30.9]

And, he was my friend. 





[47.2]

Truthfully, much of the Leverian would not exist were it not for that bold, two-fisted academician's devotion to both myself and the cause of better understanding our history, and ourselves.





[53.0]

It shames me to think of what he would have to say about what I have done. 

[56.3]

To our shared endeavor.

30 > DruLev

[3.5]

Parvos Granum. You know the name. 

[6.9]

He of the gilded hand, and gilded tongue. 

[11.6]

For an age he has sought what Dante and I had gathered together. 

[14.2]

Our collected treasures. 

[20.2]

For one such as Granum there is no such thing as 'enough'.





[30.2]

In an age with no appetite for memory, maintaining a shrine to our shared history seemed folly. 

[37.2]

And so, in a low moment, I signed it all away.

40 > DruLev

[4.3]

I do not know what possessed me, in that moment. 

[9.9]

I have no need for money, or food, or shelter, or care. 

[21.2]

Perhaps I merely felt my time was done, that the past had served its use, and me along with it.





[30.3]

Whatever the reason, I allowed myself an instant to feel my misery to be greater than my life's purpose. 

[38.9]

A momentary indulgence that may be paid by every future generation until the sun goes dark.

50 > DruLev

[3.9]

I would give much for my friend to have been here. 

[8.9]

Dante and I, we tempered each other's unique compulsions. 





[12.6]

You would have liked Dante, I feel. 

[20.6]

His end began, as it did for so many souls, with the Entrati family. 

[27.1]

The patriarch of that benighted family had fallen into decadence and disrepute, 

[33.0]

his name sullied by controversy and implications of madness. 





[44.7]

Then an erstwhile associate of mine - a gentleman by the name of Loid, and Master Entrati's man for more than a lifetime - well, vanished. 

[51.9]

Loid, his Master, and his entire lineage. Just… gone.

60 > DruLev

[2.3]

There were rumors, of course. 

[9.9]

Master Entrati was known at that time for outlandish claims and questionable science relating to… 

[12.9]

voices he was hearing, I believe. 

[16.2]

Gods from beyond the veil and whatnot. 





[22.5]

After the disappearances, Dante, never one to let a good mystery go, 

[28.8]

insisted on infiltrating the Entrati manse and learning the truth for himself. 

[40.1]

I, however, being more familiar with the, uh, confidential details of Master Entrati's… interests… urged him otherwise. 

[49.9]

I suppose you wonder why I would do such a thing, if I believed Master Entrati to be fit for little more than the asylum. 





[56.7]

Loid was, as I said, a dear friend. We spoke often. 

[60.3]

His last missive to me was a simple one.





[64.4]

"We end as we began."





[73.5]

As a student of history and its occult apocrypha I know the terrible import of those words. 

[77.8]

And so I cautioned Dante to remain by my side. 

[82.4]

He promised to do so, then did otherwise. 

[86.1]

And I never saw him again.





[91.6]

Perhaps I was not so deft at tempering him, as he was of me. 

[97.4]

And that, I suppose, was my first great failing. 

[103.3]

The parent of this second, and most final, one.

70 > DruLev

[4.4]

I imagine you've surmised why I have summoned you here. 

[8.9]

To ask that, in the name of whatever friendship we share, 

[13.8]

to lend your aid to my impossible predicament. 

[19.6]

To help preserve not me, not this shadow of a man I once was, 

[23.4]

but to keep this monument to history alive - 

[31.8]

so that future generations may learn from it, and never repeat our most shameful mistakes. 





[37.8]

Granum's obsession with that bygone age demands pieces of such. 

[48.1]

Ironic, really, that one man's interest in history serves only to strip an edifice whose singular purpose was to protect it. 

[56.8]

But there remains one slim hope: the sourcing of artifacts from places other than the Leverian.





[60.1]

Sourced by you, at my direction. 

[71.6]

Help me, friend. Help me, that my one, great and final mistake, not be the error that turns our collective history 

[80.8]

and the work of lifetimes to a single, miserable use: making a rich man richer.

80 > DruLev

[2.9]

You... found him, Friend. 

[6.6]

And Dante's tale deserves to be known. 

[14.9]

So... allow me to relate it, as he passes it to me. 





[26.9]

Dante… ventured… to the… deafeningly… silenced halls of the… doomed… Entrati lineage, 

[36.5]

encountering… automated defenses, gone senile and violent, chanting in an… 

[45.2]

unright dialect that slurred thought and… annihilated… hope. 

[50.6]

That wrongtongued language invaded Dante's mind - 

[57.7]

infecting it with the one thing he was defenseless against: the promise of knowledge. 





[65.1]

It may be said that a parasite is life from without the body 

[72.0]

fighting to exist within the body, despite the body, even as it risks the body. 

[79.6]

What, then, do we call knowledge from beyond our reality demanding to be let in?





[88.5]

Poor Dante. If only he had recited to me sooner the wrongtongued words he had heard. 

[94.0]

I could have told him, you know, that I had heard that language before. 

[100.4]

Once. Long ago. From the lips of Parvos Granum.





[107.5]

Dante found it, you see. Dante found The Book.





[113.4]

The Dante I knew was many things, but he was not weak. 

[117.7]

He struggled, fought, refused its knowledge. 

[123.5]

There was a moment, I knew, when that chill Indifference felt it had won. 

[130.0]

In those moments I was with him, wrestling the foul thing he had unlocked. 

[137.0]

Impossibly, though it cost him dearly, he was winning. 

[144.4]

But, miserably, I knew the equation was not so simple as that.





[151.9]

I told him: Dante, what you have found can never be brought forth. 

[155.3]

Parvos must never know of this.





[163.6]

I felt the chill, the awful loneliness, of understanding wash through him.





[169.3]

I sensed the moment he chose, and I felt Dante give up. 

[175.4]

When he died, I almost died with him.





[183.2]

But the Book, the word, did not permit Dante to die. 

[189.4]

The violent diplomacy which ensued rewrit the very fabric of who he was. 

[197.5]

I understood things, learned things, on that journey with my old friend, from night to day. 

[206.9]

Things which could not survive in this world, but have forever made a lie, to me, of science.





[213.8]

What became of him, and what stars he may have traveled to, is unknown to me. 

[218.0]

What that wrongtongued Voice may murmur in his mind, 

[222.6]

on long nights, I'm not sure I would want to know. 

[226.0]

But I know it teaches. 

[234.1]

It teaches because it longs to be known, and in being known it exists. 

[239.2]

And in existing, it survives.

Announce

10 > Loid

Ahem. Attention, Tenno! Now that Loid and the Cavia have settled in, I feel I can be of more use. The laboratories are for research, after all, and science is calling! Henceforth, I shall be dividing my time between the upper Necralisk and down here in the Sanctum Anatomica. Keep it on the hush-hush, if you don't mind?

FirstTime

10 > HumanLoid

I cannot lie, Tenno. I have always felt nervous in the presence of Warframes. The Orokin twisted people into weapons, and I have seen first-hand the bloody and well-deserved consequences of that act. Dante, though? In his company, I felt no such anxiety. He was warm. Earnest. Literate! A fellow seeker. To know that he perished in these very halls while I slept... is a bitterness to me.

90 > Loid

Right. Yes. Hello. Um. Look. Bit of a situation. "Deep Archimedea". Volatile experiments connect the dots, but with one small wrinkle... if we don't keep the Murmur contained, the Family is going to become aware that all is not well in the basement: a basement they cannot know exists. In an unexpected turn of events, Loid has tasked me with the responsibility of ensuring this does not come to pass. I don't know; your guess is as good as mine, but here we are. So. How do we do this? Oh. Right. That's my job. Erm. Come on, Necraloid. If we bollocks this up, we'll never hear the end of it. Tenno: your attention.

MissionIntro

10 > DruLev

Tenno, if there was ever a time to find artifacts to donate to my plight, now would be that time. If I can't pay Parvos Granum soon, I'll lose the Leverian and all the knowledge stored within.

20 > DruLev

My friend, without Dante, I need an associate to bring me the goods Parvos demands. To convey the gravity of my situation, I have relayed my comms with that Corpus robber baron to your ship's Cephalon. I trust you can and will be that associate for me.

30 > DruLev

Tenno, if you can hear this, then you will have decided to act as my field associate. I need Entrati Artifacts to keep Parvos Granum from taking control of everything I have built. I am counting on you, Tenno.

Barks

20 > Loid

Oh gosh. You appear to have caught me moonlighting. Mum's the word, eh?

30 > Loid

Yes... Your eyes aren't deceiving you. Old Necraloid is working in the Sanctum now. So many responsibilities to juggle.

40 > Loid

I wouldn't want Loid to struggle, so here I am. Such a pity when people are too proud to ask for help.

50 > Loid

Tenno... I need your help to help Loid. It's what Master Entrati would have wanted.

60 > Loid

I like it here. Lots of natural light for a basement. Odd that.

70 > Loid

These Cavia seem like jolly fellows. Well. Most of them. Well. The bird, anyway.

80 > Loid

Word to the wise, Tenno. Do not ask about Bird 1 and 2.

DanteVendor

20 > HumanLoid

Let's see what we can recover.

30 > HumanLoid

Very well. Let's rake up the past.

40 > HumanLoid

Time to turn another page of Dante's folio?

50 > HumanLoid

What have you discovered?

60 > HumanLoid

What you have gathered... may be of use.

70 > HumanLoid

To work!

80 > HumanLoid

Put me to work, Tenno. Drusus has his debts to pay, and I have mine.

90 > HumanLoid

The Orokin found conventional books offensive. Primitive. They clung to their precious Ayatans and sneered at our grand libraries. Oh, how we loved to offend the Orokin, Albrecht and I. And how secure our primitive libraries proved while their towers burned.

100 > HumanLoid

"Old shapes of song that do not die shall haunt the halls of memory."

110 > HumanLoid

The Gods of writing were always Gods of magic, too. Demons and ideas, both bound up in books. Impossible to bind forever, mind you. No matter how many locks and chains you fasten a book up with, someone will always prise it back open. That's the frightening thing about ideas, you see. They want to get out.

120 > HumanLoid

Our adversary seeks to muddy our recollection of true history. We will need reliable chronicles more than ever.

130 > HumanLoid

Granum made the mistake of robbing the same place twice. It's easy to trip up a man blinded by greed.

140 > HumanLoid

Parvos Granum stole from the Entrati. He boasted of it. All that Albrecht had freely given, all he had sacrificed, was not enough! Can you blame me for despising the man?

150 > HumanLoid

The Drusus I knew was a genius. A quick, bright-eyed little man with a taste for fancy waistcoats. I wonder if he even remembers those days now. Or cares to.

160 > HumanLoid

Dante's works on ancient Earth archaeology were some of the finest in their field. Many back then refused to accept a mere Warframe could have written them.

170 > HumanLoid

I discovered a forgotten work by Archimedean Otak on crystallography deep in the archives. He was the first to anticipate the unique properties of Argon. We owe him so much. At least... what remains of him... is happy.

180 > HumanLoid

Drusus never seems to distinguish between the deeds of the Warframes and of the Tenno who presumably operated them. He credits them all with autonomy and dignity. I imagine Dante is responsible for that.

190 > HumanLoid

I remember when we learned of the Warframe insurrections. Their madness, savage and sudden, justifying all the Orokin fear. All their heroic deeds were forgotten in an instant. Those like Dante, who had yet to succumb, became fugitives. To shelter them meant death - or glassing.

200 > HumanLoid

Have you ever seen the oldest human art on the walls of the oldest caves, Tenno? It haunts me. Those images of weird, hybrid entities, antler-horned, beast-bodied, privy to an ill-understood magic. I wonder if Ballas truly understood what he was creating.

210 > HumanLoid

Warframes cannot speak, as a rule. Their creator decided they should only scream, or roar, or howl. Dante spoke through his writing, and his voice was beautiful.

220 > HumanLoid

Dante shared the Entrati fascination with bones. I was content to let him explore our old burial vaults and ossuaries, but his request to examine my own replicated skull was a step too far. Otherwise, his manners were impeccable.

HkdIn

40 > HumanLoid

Arterial Conduits, Albrecht's inter-lab transport and storage system for high-value goods and materials. If you can get them working, you should be able to find what Drusus needs... and more.

50 > HumanLoid

All you need to get into an Arterial Conduit is the correct Docket. Ready for a hunt?

60 > HumanLoid

System's up. You'll need the correct docket to open an Arterial Conduit. Start looking. Also, the conduits share the same technology that makes Keyglyphs so burdensome. I do regret implementing that now.

KeyReminder

70 > HumanLoid

The Murmur have captured the dockets you need. Be aware: The Gruzzlings have a particular appetite for dockets.

FirstKey

80 > HumanLoid

A docket. Excellent. Look for a Conduit with a matching glyph.

SpotConduit

You found an Arterial Conduit, but you need the matching docket, Eximus may have them, Gruzzlings, most definitely will.

FirstConduitStart

100 > HumanLoid

That's it. Protect the conduit and watch out for enemy Necramechs. They'll blow the whole apparatus up just to keep you out.

Intro

100 > Loid

Several experiments are threatened by the Murmur as they near completion. We shall protect Master Entrati's good works via a three-phase response. Prepare well. Before the foe is laid low, we! shall! not! return!

110 > Loid

Loid has tasked us with finalizing several experiments, and there will be no coming back until the job is done. We are alone; we must conquer, or we must die. If we fail, we fail life itself. Should we succeed, may our sacrifice be forever unknown. With me, friends. To war!

120 > Loid

Master Entrati's experiments are under threat from the Murmur. Nay. Rip from his teeth all that he has taken and teach him this: that woe shall be his sole reward. Prepare well, for we shall not return until the experiments are secured.

GruzzSpawn

101 > HumanLoid

Gruzzling detected. That little monster will have a docket.

102 > HumanLoid

Marking a nearby Gruzzling. They always have dockets. And probably half my library.

103 > HumanLoid

A Gruzzling! It'll certainly have a docket, but it might also have the final chapter to the book I was reading.

104 > HumanLoid

Gruzzling in your vicinity!

105 > HumanLoid

Gruzzling nearby. That thieving freak is certain to have a docket.

106 > HumanLoid

Ugh... A Gruzzling. For whatever reason those little horrors eat dockets as if they were sugared biscuits.

107 > HumanLoid

A Gruzzling has appeared. Hoo-ray.

108 > HumanLoid

Oh great. Gruzzling in your area.

FirstConduitSucc

110 > HumanLoid

Conduit activated. Explosive Necramechs incoming. Stop them.

120 > HumanLoid

Docket verified. Protect the conduit until the transfer arrives.

130 > HumanLoid

Conduit online. Let us hope this one has what Drusus needs.

140 > HumanLoid

That was it. Conduit warming up for transfer.

150 > HumanLoid

Conduit transfer in progress. Stay focused.

Accepted

130 > Loid

Remember: our aim is to safeguard Master Entrati's experiments, repel the enemy, and keep. It. Quiet. The family must never learn of what occurs... down here.

140 > Loid

Heads high and hearts full of fire! Let's finalize those experiments! Or Loid will never let me hear the end of it.

150 > Loid

Prepare for ALL PHASES! The experiments Master Entrati began are irreplaceable; quick and clean would be my preference. I'd rather not endure the bollocking from Loid that will surely follow should we make a dog's breakfast of this.

BossSpawned

160 > HumanLoid

Explosive Necramech coming for that conduit. Put it down.

170 > HumanLoid

Security systems responding to your intrusion. Watch out for explosive Necramechs.

180 > HumanLoid

Legacy security protocols dictate that a Necramech must now demolish the conduit. Do not allow that to transpire.

190 > HumanLoid

When you hear beeping, you know something explosive is coming your way.

200 > HumanLoid

Eyes and ears open. The system thinks you're hostile and will do everything in its power to destroy the Conduit to thwart you.

Declined

160 > Loid

What... really?

170 > Loid

It was the speech, wasn't it? The speech was too much.

180 > Loid

Really? After all that wind-up, your response is 'No'?

VRCPickReact

161 > Lotus

The Corrupted enemies are dropping Reactant. Collect it to open your Void Relic.

162 > Lotus

Corrupted foes are dropping Reactant. Use it to crack open a Relic.

163 > Lotus

Defeat the Corrupted and use their Reactant to open a Relic.

164 > Lotus

Collect Reactant to open your Relic. Be aware: only Corrupted enemies will drop it.

MOneAlchemyIntro

190 > Loid

Elemental resources. Highest possible purity. You don't need to know why; you only need to procure them and procure them now. Crucible marked. Go.

200 > Loid

Pure elemental resources are essential to the completion of this experiment. Crucible marked. Impress me.

210 > Loid

Without elements of the highest purity, our efforts will fail. Should we fail, the enemy succeeds; if the enemy succeeds, the manor falls. The manor will not fall. Crucible marked.

Buff

210 > HumanLoid

With a little luck I was able to reverse the conduit's burden. Can you feel the difference?

220 > HumanLoid

I have managed to invert the polarization of this conduit's burden. It's working for you now.

230 > HumanLoid

Seems I still have limited control of the conduit's systems, I've converted this conduit's burden to a blessing.

240 > HumanLoid

How are your systems? Feel a boost? You should, I just reversed that burden's effects.

MOneAlchemyOutro

220 > Loid

Elements tagged and bagged. Ready for more?

230 > Loid

Those elements will do nicely. Shall we proceed?

MOneDisruptIntro

240 > Loid

Updating mission parameters. Secure key materiel from arterial conduits. I shall monitor your progress from here.

250 > Loid

Lock and load. Your task is the retrieval of valuable materiel from arterial conduits. Make it happen.

ParvosExch

250 > Parvos

Drusus, you do remember the penalty for late payment, don't you? Forfeiture.

260 > DruLev

Mr. Granum... I... I assure you it will not come to that. I'll have more artifacts for you very, very soon. My associate will come through for me.

270 > Parvos

Drusus Leverian. What purpose does your Leverian serve? What does it build? What does it earn? Nothing. A dusty temple for idle history worship.

280 > DruLev

How dare you. It's... no such thing! You will get your payment. As agreed. My associate will make sure of it.

290 > DruLev

Mr. Granum, Sir. I know you are a man of reason. So I ask of you the courtesy of a slight extension on this term's payment. Entrati artifacts are very difficult to come by and-

300 > Parvos

Drusus Thelonious Leverian, do you think me a gullible man? No. I desire precision. So does our contract, which clearly states: the penalty for missed payment is immediate forfeiture.

310 > Parvos

If you truly desired greatness for the Leverian, you would have made it happen, Drusus. But you haven't. Instead, you idle away the years, content with unfulfilled dreams and comfortable mediocrity. I desire greater things from the Leverian and her archives.

320 > DruLev

You will get your payment, Mr. Granum, and nothing more.

330 > Parvos

When I take ownership of your museum and all its contents. Will you, Drusus Leverian, be included? Make this easy for me, and I will make that transition comfortable for you. But if you prolong the inevitable...

340 > DruLev

I... I... cannot lea- You... You will be paid. And I will keep the Leverian.

350 > DruLev

My associate will have your goods imminently, but I must ask, why do you seek these... 'mementos' of Albrecht Entrati?

360 > Parvos

Drusus, you and I are not so different in this regard. I desire knowledge. Any wayward item that crossed his path may offer hidden insights.

370 > Parvos

Do you know the problem with glass, Drusus Leverian? It is so very fragile. But you wouldn't know anything about glass, would you, Drusus.

380 > DruLev

As a museum curator, I do know this: when not handled carefully, glass will cut you.

390 > Parvos

Drusus, this associate of yours seem uniquely resourceful. If they could be convinced to do my bidding, things would become much easier for you.

400 > DruLev

Do understand, Mr. Granum. My associate is a friend performing a favor. To earn my friend's favor, you'd first have to learn compassion and empathy.

MOneDisruptOutro

260 > Loid

Verifying. Arterial payloads are intact and laboratory-ready; on to the next.

You got everything we needed. I would hazard to say this is going swimmingly so far.

MOneExterminateIntro

280 > Loid

The enemy has massed and moves to strike at the heart of our labs and, from there, the manor. Phase one: repel the assault. Phase two to be initiated on the move.

Incoming assault. Respond and repel. Situation evolving. Expect updates. Move!

MOneExterminateOutro

MOneMirrorDefIntro

First off, the docket: the enemy seeks to neutralize our sensory equipment - an obvious first-strike attempt to blind us. This will fail. You will see to it. Updating HUD.

The Murmur seeks to blind us. Guard detail: Master Entrati's sensors. I shall analyze the enemy's approach and attack to formulate a response. Expect updates on the fly. Go now.

MOneMirrorDefOutro

340 > Loid

Sensors remain intact. You can congratulate yourselves later. New orders.

350 > Loid

Well done. Eyes and ears remain online, and our next move is clear.

MOneSurvivalIntro

360 > Loid

Master Entrati's experiments have gone a tad... awry. Significant off-gassing of elements harmful to you but not, alas, the Murmur. Please accept life support as I attempt to rectify remotely.

370 > Loid

Bugger. The experiments have boiled over. Dropping life-support. Prevent enemy vandalization while I get things under control from this end.

VRCOpened

370 > Lotus

Well done, Tenno - your relic is opened.

380 > Lotus

You have collected enough reactant to open your relic.

Well done, live and learn, last time I leave one of those unattended, moving on.

MTwoAlchemyIntro

400 > Loid

Now, be aware: this next stage is going to require high-quality elements, and lots of them. Proceed to the marked Crucible.

All right, we need elements, and we are short on time. No time for a conversation; just go. Crucible marked.

ParvosPaid

410 > DruLev

Mr. Granum. Payment. Promptly. As promised. Now... Piss off.

420 > Parvos

As you wish. Until the next payment's due.

430 > Parvos

Is that all, Drusus? Doesn't look like much.

440 > DruLev

The goods provided exceed the agreed-upon sum by several times. Something any student of history could tell you. Such is the value of history. Hmm... In all your years, you've never learned this?

450 > Parvos

Yes! I haven't seen something this beautiful since the days before the old war.

460 > DruLev

My my. Was that an expression of... Sentimentality, Mr Granum? Careful! You might develop an interest in something other than yourself.

470 > Parvos

Goods received. But... I must ask. You wouldn't hold back on me, would you? Your... hmmm... associate hasn't any Warframes, have they?

480 > DruLev

Mr. Granum, our deal was for Entrati Artifacts. If I did find a Warframe, I assure you, it would not be for sale. And even if it was, you could never afford it.

490 > DruLev

Mr. Granum. My associate is, as always, reliable. Your goods.

500 > Parvos

Hmm... I should hope nothing happens to this associate of yours, for your sake.

510 > DruLev

Mr. Granum, is this what you desire? You could furnish a hundred Leverians. When will you have enough?

520 > Parvos

When I find the artifact that speaks to me.

MTwoAlchemyOutro

420 > Loid

Well done. Yes. Those will serve quite handily. All right, let's wrap this up.

430 > Loid

Elemental resources still warm, just the way I like them. All right. One more thing to do, and we can all go home.

MTwoDisruptIntro

440 > Loid

Arterial conduits. Located... here. Move in. Secure. Retrieve materiel. Go.

450 > Loid

Check your HUD. You're going to be retrieving a supply of key scientific materiel from tagged arterial conduits. In and out. Hop to.

MTwoDisruptOutro

460 > Loid

Quick and clean. Top notch. Initiating final phase.

470 > Loid

Arterial materiel received. Stand by for orders.

MTwoExterminateIntro

480 > Loid

Hold. Updating. We've made them angry, and the Murmur is responding in force. Marking location. Get messy.

490 > Loid

Redirecting. I have incoming hostiles approaching at speed from multiple vectors. Converging at marked location. Sweep and clear.

MTwoExterminateOutro

500 > Loid

Well done. Phase Three initiating. That was gross.

510 > Loid

Screen is green. Prepare to mobilize to final objective.

MTwoMirrorDefIntro

520 > Loid

Phase Two: the Murmur are converging on Master Entrati's sensor arrays. Loid is utilizing those to analyze Murmur behavioral patterns. Protect them at all costs! Go!

530 > Loid

Redirect to sensor arrays at marked location. They are key to furthering our understanding of the Murmur. Ensure the enemy does not succeed in destroying them!

RoundComp

530 > HumanLoid

A new set of Conduits is opening. Up for another round?

540 > HumanLoid

That's all of them. Standby for more Conduits.

550 > HumanLoid

Catch your breath. New conduits will be appearing shortly.

560 > HumanLoid

You are fighting admirably so far. Think you can handle another set of conduits?

570 > HumanLoid

New conduits coming online momentarily. Steady yourself.

MTwoMirrorDefOutro

540 > Loid

Sensors remain online, and they tell me the Murmur have redirected. Stand by for update.

550 > Loid

Eyes and ears are 20/20. Stand by. Initiating Phase Three.

MTwoSurvialIntro

560 > Loid

Murmur interference has dropped pressure in key experiments. Toxic compounds have become airborne. Sending life-support. Prevent further damage while I stabilize things.

570 > Loid

We're just in time. The Murmur have damaged Master Entrati's experiments, polluting this section. Take this life-support and keep them busy while I try to ventilate the area.

FailedDef

580 > HumanLoid

Lost one. Try again.

590 > HumanLoid

They blew it up. When they do that, you get nothing.

600 > HumanLoid

Conduit destroyed. Please focus. That may have had what Drusus needed.

610 > HumanLoid

Damn. Lost one.

620 > HumanLoid

That one got through. Shake it off and get back in the fight.

630 > HumanLoid

That conduit is now defunct. May I remind you that our friend Drusus is counting on you?

640 > HumanLoid

They just took down a conduit!

650 > HumanLoid

Oh. They got one. Listen for the beeps.

MTwoSurvivalOutro

580 > Loid

You can breathe easy. Had we been a minute later, the off-gassing would have had a terminal effect on Loid's experiments as a whole. Stand by for final orders.

590 > Loid

Air is clear. The threat to Loid's current sequence is almost nullified. Just one last thing to take care of.

MThreeAlchemyIntro

600 > Loid

Home stretch. Crucible marked. Loid's brief demands the urgent retrieval of high-quality elemental resources. Prevent enemy sabotage of same. Go.

610 > Loid

Crucible marked. The enemy would deny Loid access to high-quality elemental resources critical to his ongoing studies. Deny. Retrieve. Return. Phase Three initiated. Go.

MThreeAlchemyOutro

620 > Loid

Elements secured. That's what Loid was after. Well done. And well done me, I suppose. I'm really not designed for this kind of thing.

630 > HumanLoid

I'll take those samples, thank you. 99.3% purity. Appropriately conductive while being highly spallation-resistant. How...? Did... did you do this?

640 > Loid

I... took the liberty of adjusting the initial process, yes. To prevent a heavy ion strike triggering a nuclear shower. Wouldn't do to have you irradiated, now would it?

MThreeDisruptIntro

650 > Loid

Phase Three: your efforts have ensured the production of essential materiel within arterial conduits. Secure said materiel, ensure the continuation of Master Entrati's research efforts. Go.

660 > Loid

Excellent. Arterial conduits are now producing materiel essential to Loid's continuation of Master Entrati's experiments. Ensure said materiel does not fall into the enemy's many, many hands. Green light. Move.

MissFailed

660 > HumanLoid

We lost them all. It's over.

670 > HumanLoid

All conduits destroyed. There's no salvaging this mission.

680 > HumanLoid

You've lost this one. Get back to the Sanctum and regroup.

MThreeDisruptOutro

670 > Loid

Optimal. We have the arterial materiel Loid tasked us with retrieving, and the family slumbers on. Ah. I need a lie-down.

680 > Loid

Loid, we're back. Materiel secured. Tenno intact.

690 > HumanLoid

Let me see. These are... well, they're ideal. Thank you... construct. You have been... you have been most helpful.

MissCompGeneric

690 > HumanLoid

Given the circumstances, you've done very well.

700 > HumanLoid

Good work. Come and see me in the Sanctum to exchange what you found.

710 > HumanLoid

It's time. Come on home.

720 > HumanLoid

All done? I'll put the kettle on.

730 > HumanLoid

Quite the haul you've got there. Come and see me. I'd like to take some of it off your hands.

MThreeExterminateIntro

700 > Loid

Here they come! A last-ditch effort. Emphasis on last. Wipe them out!

710 > Loid

As expected, denying them Master Entrati's resources has provoked a response. Safeties off, remember to breathe, FIRE!

MThreeExtermianteOutro

720 > Loid

All right, stand down, stand down. You're clear. We're clear. We're done. It's over. We can go home. I... I shall inform Loid that all is well. My gratitude, Tenno. You have served the family well.

730 > HumanLoid

Construct! Tenno! Construct? Construct... are you all right? I saw... on the screens... Construct?

740 > Loid

We are all fine, Loid. Thank you. As are Albrecht's experiments. I shall see you on my return.

MissCompParvos

740 > DruLev

Thank you, Tenno.

750 > DruLev

I owe you all my gratitude.

760 > DruLev

A true friend to the Leverian you are.

770 > Parvos

You get to keep your dusty junk, Drusus, for now.

MThreeMirrorDefIntro

750 > Loid

Sensors are now primed, farming behavioral and environmental data. Prognostic model assembling downstream, and here comes the enemy! Keep those sensors pinging!

760 > Loid

Master Entrati's sensor array is streaming prognostic data to the lab's modeling servers. Keep the Murmur from interrupting the flow of this crucial data! It is invaluable to understanding our enemy! Give no quarter!

MThreeMirrorDefOutro

770 > Loid

Downstream dataflow is of high fidelity. Prognostication model completes in 2... 1. Well done, everyone. Loid has what he needs. Let's go home.

780 > Loid

Necraloid reporting completion of prognostic modeling. Sensors remain intact. Restarting sequence. Well done, everyone.

790 > HumanLoid

Yes. Albrecht would have been proud. Of all of you.

NwRndStrtd

780 > HumanLoid

You're on.

790 > HumanLoid

New conduits active, time to start looking for dockets.

800 > HumanLoid

Conduits up.

810 > HumanLoid

New conduits at the ready... if you can find the right dockets.

820 > HumanLoid

Here we go again.

830 > HumanLoid

What do you say, Tenno? Once more unto the breach?

MThreeSurvivalIntro

800 > Loid

As expected the experiments are generating hazardous, if temporary, side-effects. I am dispensing life support to aid you while you fend off the Murmur's last-minute assault.

810 > Loid

Hold the Murmur back while the experiments complete. The process is generating some life-threatening airborne compounds. Dispensing life support.

MThreeSurvivalOutro

820 > Loid

Everyone intact? Check yourselves for signs of gills, monsterism, optical poptitude or the sniffles.

830 > Loid

Beaming results to you now, Loid. Team is secure. No contamination.

840 > HumanLoid

I... appreciate the risks you've all taken to safeguard my Albrecht's work. It is no small thing to me. Thank you.

FailsafeFound

840 > HumanLoid

Is that... why, yes it is. A Conduit failsafe. This will negate any negative forces the Conduit has inflicted on you.

850 > HumanLoid

A Conduit failsafe. An emergency off switch for the conduit's negative burdens. A fortuitous find.

MThreeAssassinateIntro

850 > Loid

Initiating final phase: kill the envoy responsible for this fiasco. Priority One is getting serum into a Vitreum Scanner so we can find the envoy. This ends now.

860 > Loid

Primary target is the envoy directing this chaos. Get serum into a Vitreum Scanner, and that envoy won't be able to hide. You have your orders.

FailsafeUsed

860 > HumanLoid

Conduit burdens wiped. Your timing is impeccable.

870 > HumanLoid

Failsafe engaged. Feeling better?

880 > HumanLoid

That did it. Your conduit burdens are no more.

MThreeAssassinateOutro

870 > Loid

Necraloid to Loid: primary target eliminated. Master Entrati's experiments remain undisturbed. Well done, team. Time to head back.

880 > HumanLoid

I... have to admit: you've done quite well. Handily done, Construct.

890 > Loid

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

InboxMessage

890 > DruLev

The Leverian... it was floundering, you understand? Going under! All that work I put into it, and so few visited, let alone donated. Oh, I don't mean you, of course. I know you're a friend to the Leverian. It just... wasn't enough. So when Parvos made me an offer... I thought, why not? Just let it go. Let it all go. I took the deal, Tenno. I shouldn't have, but I did. Oh, if only Dante were still around.



Please, you must come see me.

MFail

900 > Loid

Right. Unmitigated disaster. Provide a distraction, would you, Tenno? I have some records to incinerate.

910 > Loid

Let's add this to the ever increasing pile of 'things we never speak of', shall we?

920 > Loid

Well... if nothing else, we have learned never to do THAT again.

930 > Loid

I think we'll be leaving that little escapade OFF the report, if it's all the same to you?

940 > Loid

I'm sorry to say we have made a complete hash of this.
