What?! Visitors?!

20 > Otak

Look at you now, a real 'Chip' off the ole monolith! Just the right sort to save us from the coming cataclysm! C'mon!

30 > Otak

--Sorry Loid, it's just too exciting!

40 > Otak

--but how are you, anyway? Things good?

50 > Otak

I call that one 'Bitey Scratchikins!'

180 > Loid

Tenno.

190 > Loid

You received our distress signal. Mother will be pleased--

200 > Loid

We agreed: I was handling orientation protocol--

210 > Loid

We are in crisis, Tenno. Our defense against the Grey Strain has failed. The NECRALISK is in lock-down but it doesn't matter. The Infestation has compromised the very Heart itself. We have been forced to re-phase into Martian--

220 > Loid

As I was saying, our defense situation is dire. Our remaining Necramechs have reverted to their autonomous-kill precepts. They will not distinguish you from those things.

230 > Loid

It is imperative you meet Mother, receive her instructions, and prevent the imminent intra-dimensional catastrophe. Demonstrate your combat readiness and I will grant you the requisite security clearance. Good luck.

DQMOneIntro

60 > Otak

'Intra-dimensional' what?

70 > Otak

Sounds like it bears repeating, Loid.

240 > Loid

Otak, I've already explained it.

DQMOneNotDone

80 > Otak

It's not that we don't trust ya Chip but... to let you in, I think we'd just feel better with the gesture. Come back with gore on your hands, thanks!

DQSceneTwoWalk

90 > Otak

It's not your fault, Chip!

100 > Otak

Have we tried turning it off and on again?

270 > Loid

The Infestation wormed into everything. After the great purge - there were no Dax, no Tenno, to defend the place. Just us.

280 > Loid

Technically it is… and now you face an existential threat. If the Heart stops beating, the wellspring of your power dies with it.

300 > Loid

Tenno, meet the head of the Entrati family. What's left of her, anyway.

310 > Loid

Mother! Wake up!

DQMTwoMotherConvo

110 > Otak

--'Functional'? We are… and we've summoned Chip here to help us!

320 > Loid

Here we go again.

330 > Loid

Mother...

340 > Loid

No, Mother. You did all of that. You're as wormed as the rest of this place. The Heart is about to fail, remember?

510 > Mother

Loid, I had the most distressing dream--

520 > Mother

--The Wall of Lohk was before us, I had my proofs, my father's. I could hear him... I could hear him tapping... tapping at the Untime door--

530 > Mother

--we went in but again, he wasn't there. My husband congratulated me. Sarcastic halfwit. All the while, hive-weed was sprouting all around us. But, it was just a dream.

540 > Mother

Oh... Oh... oh fu--

550 > Mother

It'll take more than an old Orokin thug to keep the Heart beating.

560 > Mother

Oh, I don't blame you, you're just the product. The Orokin had no respect for my father's work. Though I suppose you proved him right in the end.

570 > Mother

Same as Deimos. The Infestation got in. Got to me and my family. Stole our names, our ideas. I can hear its hive-voice scratching in my mind: let the Heart stop beating, let the door close forever. Only my dreams seem real now, so I sleep.

580 > Mother

It's what makes you special, you know that, right? All thanks to my father. It pumps the arteries of 'the here' and the Void. The Entrati family has maintained it for an age. But it's breaking down, and only that idiot knows how to fix it… the man I used to call my husband. I think he's left for good this time… Maybe you can find him? Probably sulking somewhere outside…

DQMTwoMech

120 > Otak

That went well!

360 > Loid

This must be one of the last of Father's Necramechs - it won't last long.

370 > Loid

Guidance signal was coming from over there.

1430 > Loid

Its struggle is a valiant one, but I fear the worst for our metal friend.

1440 > Loid

Ah! The stalwart defender falls. Rest well, noble Warrior. May you some day rise again. Now: to business.

DQMFourCaves

130 > Otak

Lots of Bitey-Scratchikins on the scope. Maybe they're planning a party for you!?

140 > Otak

But think of all the time we'd have for hobbies…

410 > Loid

To be fair - it was not exactly a 'simple mistake'.

420 > Loid

Son has strange ideas about what victory looks like. The Solar Rails, The Tenno, we all depend on the Heart to keep the wall open to the other side. If the Heart stops, everything goes with it.

810 > Son

Noticed my collar, did you? A not-so-gentle reminder from dearest Mother. No one in the universe can hold a grudge as deep or as long. She took away all my Entrati command words with it. Loid's got more respect in this family than I do. One simple mistake.

820 > Son

How many times do I have to say I'm sorry? I broke the containment protocol. I carried the spores in. I screwed up. And suddenly, they all acknowledged my existence! Suddenly something I'd done actually mattered! As if humiliating me would undo what happened to them. We're a lost cause. The Infestation will come for what's left of us, in time. Ah! Speak of them, and they shall appear!

830 > Son

Admit it, Tenno. It's beautiful, isn't it? Maybe it's not the abomination you think it is. Maybe it knows better than Mother. Maybe we ought to succumb to it. Let it win.

DQMFourPuzzle

150 > Otak

Hm. That doesn't sound happy.

430 > Loid

Requiem Cipher. I'm embarrassed to say I'm unsure what to make of this. Tenno, can you figure it out?

440 > Loid

Don't distract them. This is very mentally taxing for a Tenno.

770 > Grandmother

I didn't expect you'd get through the door before I had a chance to finish. Forgive me, but this is the only way.

1450 > Loid

Success!

DQMFiveReinforcement

170 > Otak

Having fun? I mean it looks fun! And quite dangerous. Oh good, there's another up ahead!

480 > Loid

Alright, but there's another up ahead. Watch for its pattern and try to get past it.

DQMOneRemind

250 > Loid

If we were unclear… demonstrate your readiness by destroying Infestation. Only then will I grant entry clearance. Act accordingly.

DQMOneDone

260 > Loid

Clearance approved, Tenno. I now grant access… to the Necralisk. Mother awaits, but I should warn you, she is not entirely herself.

DQMTwoIntro

350 > Loid

Detecting active Necramech signals nearby. It could be Father. He loves a good fight. Whatever you do, don't mention Mother. Nothing he hates more.

DQMTwoSearch

380 > Loid

We must prove to Father that the Heart is deteriorating. This will be more dangerous than any Grey Strain monster we've faced: We have to talk to... Daughter.

1160 > Father

You fight well for a runt-frame! If you're ever interested in something a little more 'Old War' sized… Wait. Wait. She didn't send you looking for me, did she? I'm not going back.

1170 > Father

Look, you were the second wave, kid. The Necramechs were Void-shielded, Sentient-pulse immune… as bright as a bag of hammers and just as dependable. Not like you.

1180 > Father

When I met her, Mother, she was as brilliant as she was broken. Chasing her father's ghost, convinced he was still 'out there'. I thought… I thought I could fix things. I thought I could fix her. Like she was a loose light-board or leaky hydraulic. So yes, she's right about me: I am an idiot. But I'm a reformed idiot. I'm done with her. This "Heart is breaking down" is just another tactic of hers. Don't you see? Everything has to be about her.

DQMThreeReturn

390 > Loid

I'm afraid I cannot open the gate with hostiles in proximity. You'll need to destroy them before I even think of powering the door!

1050 > Daughter

I remember my birthday. Woke with a knot in my stomach. The hum of my specimen tanks was missing, silent… but I was surprised to find a little box, wrapped in a red bow. A gift from my family that never, ever remembered. The note said: "Best wishes for my best Sis." Can you guess what was in the box?

1060 > Daughter

A white powder, as smooth and fine as silk. My entire collection, cremated, atomized, and returned as a gift by my deranged Brother. If you see him on your descent to the Heart, don't be fooled. He'll stab you in the back if he thinks it'll get him a moment's notice from Mother.

DQMFourIntro

400 > Loid

Proceed to the Heart. Otak and I will take a damage-assessment scan of it.

DQMFiveIntro

450 > Loid

Tenno? Still functional? Listen carefully. Getting back to the surface is not going to be easy. I don't know how to break this to you but your Warframe… it's barely functional. You're going to have to stay low and out of sight. I know a shortcut, but you've got to do the rest.

DQMFiveFail

460 > Loid

Tenno! You've got to avoid detection!

470 > Loid

Be patient! Let them pass before moving on.

DQMFiveNearDone

490 > Loid

You're nearly out. Be cautious.

DQMFivePreDream

500 > Loid

It's too soon for them… Are you sure about this?

1240 > Father

Not at all. But we'll have to make an exception. Just this once.

DQMFourEnd

590 > Mother

By the Heart, it's… dead.

600 > Mother

Oh, so you're talking to us now?

610 > Mother

Stop.

620 > Mother

STOP!

840 > Son

Good.

850 > Son

Shut up! I wanna see how low she can dig.

1070 > Daughter

The wall's closing, Mother. It's over.

1080 > Daughter

Mother, don't. This isn't the time.

1090 > Daughter

I wonder where he gets that from?

1100 > Daughter

Oh please, you've been playing dead since the day I was born.

1190 > Father

Good? You think this is 'good'?

1200 > Father

Of course, you do, anything to make you feel better about yourself.

1210 > Father

At least he didn't try to kill me.

1220 > Father

Well, I wish you hadn't.

DQMFiveDone

630 > Mother

You're still alive! That means we can fix this, we can get the Heart back if we work together.

DQMFiveReturn

640 > Mother

Alright. I've got the calculus data for a restart, but I'll need ten quanta of Leptosam. Son?

650 > Mother

Let her sleep. Wouldn't want her to worry.

860 > Son

Even if I agreed to help, what about the Necramechs down there? Just one of those things…

870 > Son

I… I have it… should we wake up Grandmother?

1110 > Daughter

Do you think they will be willing to go back down? Son and I can bait the Wyrm to draw the Infestation away, up to the surface.

1230 > Father

I've got a little something that I've been saving for an occasion like this.

DQMSixIntro

660 > Mother

--There's no time for training exercises.

670 > Mother

---Tenno. Get down there. You're just going to have to learn as you go.

1280 > Father

Alright, squeeze off a few rounds, and get a feel for the--

1290 > Father

But we've got to prepare--

1300 > Father

Typical.

DQMSixCaves

680 > Mother

When you get to the Heart, you'll have to patch the damage and then we'll restart the system. It's a lot, but we're counting on you.

690 > Mother

--Daughter, the spores… Son, you're on repairs.

1140 > Daughter

--Tenno, can't have this area contaminated. Clear out those Infested and destroy their spore clusters before we seal the chamber.

1310 > Father

Where the hell is that Necramech?

1320 > Father

No one listens to me--

DQMSixSurgery

700 > Mother

Seal the Chamber. Initiating restart sequence. By Lohk we pass through and beyond.

710 > Mother

Restart in 3… 2… 1…

720 > Mother

Again. 3… 2… 1…

730 > Mother

It doesn't make sense. Something must be interfering… I checked the equations.

740 > Mother

Don't yell at me! Again!

910 > Son

That should hold. What do you think, Mother?

920 > Son

Perfect, just perfect.

1160 > Daughter

You sure you've got the correct derivatives?

1330 > Father

The chamber's sealed, that's it for your ride and a one way trip for poor Snake. I'll cut the reroute as soon as the Heart's beating, and you'll be back to your old self again.

1340 > Father

Well, check them again!

DQMSixMechIntro

750 > Mother

There it is! Tenno, you've got to destroy this thing or we're back where we started!

1350 > Father

Hu-ho-ho! You have no idea how jealous I am right now!

DQMSixMechDone

760 > Mother

Yes. A rest…

1410 > Father

You gave her a good send-off. You have my thanks. Ah, Snake... I'm gonna miss you. But you've earned your rest, alright? Rerouting you…

DQMSixHub

780 > Grandmother

They're an insufferable lot, aren't they? My son, Father. Blustery and spineless, all at once. His absentee wife, Mother, who can't see past what she's lost… to see what she has. And who can blame the children? Daughter, trying to convince herself she's so different. It only makes her more the same. And the boy, poor Son, he mistakes kindness for mediocrity. Who's he competing with other than himself? But in a crisis, they can come together.

790 > Grandmother

I've no idea what you're talking about… but even as they've forgotten themselves, their names, their bonds… they might still be a family. Seems you're an important part of that now. So maybe I can help you and your family? This Warframe Xaku. Somewhat of a family themselves. A sum of many, a composite of others we lost in the ages that our Entrati family has served here.

800 > Grandmother

There… and now… I think we've had more than enough excitement for one day. I could do with a little lie down...

DQMSixWaypoint

880 > Son

Oh, so it's ok if you do it?

890 > Son

--Take it easy. I've summoned some Velocipods too.

1120 > Daughter

The caves won't be exactly clear... but it should help. I've dispersed some specimens to keep the Infested out of the way.

1130 > Daughter

Eat Pobber pellets, you--

DQMSixExterminate

900 > Son

I rigged Snake with an old Omni tool. Ready?

1150 > Daughter

Spore clusters, clear.

DQMTwoReturnHub

930 > Daughter

Oh! Aren't you a fascinating specimen? Organic-ferrous exoflesh, hybridized internals, Untime trace… you're a Tenno, aren't you?

940 > Daughter

You need me to tell you where it is. Which I wouldn't have to bother with if not for my parents, whose collective heads are so far up their collective lower sigmoids the only air they breathe is what they secrete.

950 > Daughter

Aww… that's kind of sweet. But look at us. We are beyond help. The disease vectors are too complex, changing faster than I can study them. We can only prolong the inevitable. Look, if you help me get back some of what my brother shredded, I'd be happy to return the favor. Deal?

DQMThreeIntro

960 > Daughter

We call that Wyrm 'Fass'. Don't worry about him, though; he's got bigger problems than you.

970 > Daughter

'Vome'. His sister. They don't get along, as you'll soon see.

980 > Daughter

This is a good opportunity for you, actually. There should be useful detritus falling from the explosion… try not to get crushed, little one.

DQMThreeWaypoint

990 > Daughter

Don't feel the least bit sad for him. He'll regenerate an even emptier head and exact his revenge. An endless cycle. Vome's the only proof I've got that the hivemind can be divided. Just collect what you can so you get to the task at hand…

DQMThreeFishIntro

1001 > Daughter

You're going to help me rebuild my sample collection. You're probably wondering what happened to it in the first place. Why don't you ask Brother when you see him.

1010 > Daughter

Note the curious way they float above the surface to feed. Don't bother trying to spear them in the Exocrine itself. Too damn viscous. Their biology is crucial to my study. Infested, but not entangled in shared consciousness. If there's a hope in halting our mental decline, it might be here in these humble little specimens. Get to it.

1020 > Daughter

Looks like you've got the hang of it… but you have to understand, helping my so-called 'family' is the last thing I'm inclined to do. You'll have to make it worthwhile.

DQMFishDone

1030 > Daughter

Alright, that's enough. Return the specimens to me, and I'll give Loid what he needs to take you down to the Heart.

DQMFiveMechHall

1250 > Father

Alright, with the Void closing up, you're going to be too weak to help in that frame.

1260 > Father

Snake's in rough shape, but she's got enough juice for one last ride. What do you say? Ready to go 'Old War' style?

1270 > Father

Alright. Not ideal, but I've cross-routed your Warframe impulse stream directly to Snake. Now, she'll feel heavy but you'll get used to it. Head outside and we'll run a field test before your descent.

DQMSixTakeDamage

1360 > Father

Come on, Snake, stay together.

1370 > Father

I know you can do this. Track the patterns, anticipate.

That's my girl! Glorious!

You've got this, Snake!

I've managed to bring additional systems online.

She's waking up. You should have additional functionality.

Rerouting power to… yes. Secondary systems are back up.

That's it! All systems active. She's fully operational. Go get 'em.
