IntroNefBillboard

10 > NefAnyo

Fortuna! You are behind schedule. The final coolant tower must be operational in time for my investor showcase. Failure to meet your quotas means one thing. Repossession! If you aren't willing to work for your rig, someone else is!

RandNefTran

20 > NefAnyo

Are you in debt, Solaris? Then you need to push yourself, work harder, longer. The Void does not give unto the freeloader.

30 > NefAnyo

I was once like you. Poor. Indebted. Lazy. Then The Void spoke to me. It said: "work harder." And so I did. I earned what I have. And now, Fortuna, it's your turn. Listen to The Void. Work. Harder.

40 > NefAnyo

I, Nef Anyo, with the will of the Void, have turned this wasteland into a paradise of profit. Soon, I will perform another miracle, the resurrection of a final dormant coolant tower. Praise be the Void.

IntroEudico

50 > Eudico

[5.7]

Busy. Oh, an Outworlder? A Tenno.

[10.3]

Look, we're a Corpus operation we are, but these people are Solaris.

[17.0]

We work for a livin'. We don't need no trouble, and we don't need no-one gettin' hurt.

[20.2]

You wanna help? Go buy something from Thursby.

[24.5]

He's been staring down the barrel of a repo order ever since he took on his parents debt.

60 > Eudico

[9.0]

Ugly thing, repossession. A Solaris falls too deep in debt, and Nef sends in his repo squads to take what he says he's owed.

[13.3]

You know, mechanical body parts, even a full rig.

[19.6]

In Thursby's case, cause he got none of that, they take the organics: arms and legs.

[22.9]

Yeah, there's a market for those too.

70 > Eudico

[10.3]

Aye... Mucking what. Nef wants to start that fossilized coolant tower back up... today.

[15.4]

It's damaged Orokin tech, not a bleeding moa, you can't just turn it on.

IntroThursby

80 > Legs

[3.7]

If ya need scrap in a snap just talk to your junkyard diplomat!

[7.6]

That'd be me. Thursby. Thunderstruck, short on pluck, down on his luck.

[10.2]

Ah whatever. Tell me you wanna buy something.

[14.0]

Please. I need this.

90 > Legs

[5.2]

Eudico sent you, a Tenno, to help meet me quota?

[7.6]

Well, I'll be…

[12.1]

You know, you could buy scrap... but...

[19.2]

if you really wanted to help, you could source me some supplies. Sumtin' I can sell. Not this garbage.

[22.3]

I know where the Taxmen keeps the good stuff.

[25.6]

If you're up for that sort of thing, Boss, head topside.

91 > Legs

[3.0]

I know where the Taxmen keeps the good stuff.

[5.6]

If you're up for that sort of thing, Boss, head topside.

IntroFortunaObjSurface

100 > Legs

[14.1]

She means well. Don't want to see nothing bad happen to us workers… but, there was a time she had another name - Vox Solaris, the voice of the resistance, the voice of Solaris United.

[18.1]

She stood up for us. Said how wrong this all is.

[25.6]

She always said Solaris United was all of us, but it weren't nothing without her.

[30.8]

When the trouble happened... Nef did try to identify her...

[43.4]

What he did to the others… What happened on Deck 12… She's always been kind to me, what happened to them was never her fault.

110 > Legs

[4.7]

When my parents… passed. I inherited their debt.

[13.7]

And boy were they owing deep. Can't work to pay it off 'cause I ain't got no augmentations, and I can't buy augmentations on account of all my debt.

[21.0]

Vicious cycle, right? So here I am, selling useless scrap at the edge of a coolant canal.

120 > Legs

[2.7]

You ever been out on the Vallis, Boss?

[7.6]

She's a miracle, she is. A blizzard in a firestorm.

[12.6]

All thanks to the magic of rebooted Orokin tech, and...

[18.2]

the blood, and the sweat of so many thousands of Solaris.

[21.9]

But, you know what Eudico always says...

130 > Legs

She says--

140 > Eudico

Welcome to Venus, it'll kill ya. Thursby, what's going on, you keepin' your nose clean?

150 > Legs

Eudico? Ah, sure am! Just giving a - a, tour to my shiny Boss here, ya know, earnin' a wage any way I can.

160 > Eudico

Alright then, Thursby. Just don't let this Outworlder get you into trouble.

MOneHuntIntro

170 > Legs

[3.1]

I need something I can sell, you know?

[7.1]

Spare parts. Quality merchandise, see?

[10.3]

I know where the Corpus drop supplies.

[13.9]

You can get in and out, before anyone catches wind of what we're up to.

MOneHuntActivate

180 > Legs

Sneak and peak, Boss. Crates full of the good stuff should be nearby.

MOneHuntTimeStart

190 > Legs

You're making me nervous here. Hurry it up, Boss.

MOneHuntCacheOne

200 > Legs

Haha, outstanding. If we had the old Eudico, we'd be taxin' the Taxmen on the regular. What else can you find?

201 > Legs

Haha, outstanding. If Eudico would just loosen up, we'd be taxin' the Taxmen on the regular. What else can you find?

MOneHuntCacheTwo

210 > Legs

Amazing! With this haul... won't be just my debts getting paid off. You're gonna make more than one Solaris happy today, Boss.

MOneHuntWin

220 > Legs

[8.1]

Unbelievable! Why stop here? With your power, we could hit Nef hard, make him pay for all he's done to us.

[13.8]

Blow up his precious coolant tower before he's even has a chance to show it off to his mucking board…!

230 > Eudico

Thursby! What are you thinkin?! You're on an unsecured channel. You want a Corpus spy drone hearing what you're up to? Ah, Muckers! Too late. Got no choice. Tenno, you got Thursby into this mess, so you can damn well help him out of it.

MOneDroneIntro

240 > Eudico

Tenno, you're looking for the Corpus spy drone that overheard Thursby's little "guided tour." Find the drone before it reports back to central command.

MOneDroneActivate

250 > Eudico

The drone is nearby. Ground it. And I'll see if I can still hack one of these things.

MOneDroneDisabled

260 > Eudico

Hold on, Tenno, been a while since I did this. Now, where is that recording of Thursby?

MOneDroneRetreating

270 > Eudico

Corpus are legging it. Take out as many as you can. Keep 'em quiet.

MOneDroneFail

280 > Eudico

This is bad. We've put all of Fortuna in jeopardy.

MOneDroneComplete

290 > Eudico

Well, well, well. You're a bright spark and no mistake. Could have used you back in the… Don't let me catch you running more missions for Thursby, understood?

MOneReturnFortuna

300 > NefAnyo

Resurrect a dormant Orokin coolant tower? They said it was impossible. Yet such profitous glory is within our grasp! But… I can't get there without you, Fortuna. That is why I am so grateful that all here have volunteered to dispense of work breaks in the name of my glorious enterprise.

310 > Legs

Aye, Boss, Eudico says that if I try anything like that again, she'll rip me arms off herself. But... Look at this! Yesterday, 'didn't have 'nuff Lucre to stay outta repo. Now I got what I need to open me own shop. Get me head outta' the red. All I needs is a ripe hook. Something ta set ol' Thursby apart. Somethin'... memorable. Oh, almost forgot, Biz, heard what you did, said he wanted to speak with you.

MOneFortunaObjTalkBiz

320 > Legs

Moa parts. Get a head start. If you're building a cart with… Thursby... no? Bah. I need to work on that one.

340 > Eudico

Maybe I was wrong about you, Sparky. You managed to pull that off without getting Thursby killed. Biz says he has work for you. Fine by me, long as you stick to savin' little animals and nothin' else.

350 > TheBusiness

Ah. The Tenno Eudico mentioned. How do you do, Outworlder. My mission is to conserve this region's unique species. You know, before the Corpus drive them to extinction. I'm known as 'The Business'. Eudico calls me… 'Biz'. I wasn't always about the… preservation of life - more the strategic deletion of it. Conservation may be my calling now, but the scales still require an occasional… adjustment. Head to the Vallis if you're looking for some work.

MTwoElevator

360 > TheBusiness

Are you averse to getting your hands dirty? Send a message? I've learned that the head of the Corpus repo squad has a made a hit-list of indebted Solaris. Before his goons can do their thing, I've got a K-Bomb with his name on it.

370 > Eudico

Biz! That's not what we discussed! Wait. There's a repo list? Who's on it? Ah, crap. Okay fine, but we do this my way. No K-Bombs, had about enough mess for one day.

MTwoSpyIntro

380 > Eudico

We do this quietly and maybe, just maybe, Nef doesn't find out. Biz, this isn't the old days. We've got no leverage now. All we can do is try to save our people from getting ground up by the bureaucracy.

390 > TheBusiness

People are already 'getting ground up', Eudi. Debt on debt, accident by accident, repo by repo! How many even remember actual freedom?

MTwoSpyActivate

400 > Eudico

You're nearing the secure area. Steal that list. Don't get noticed. If they destroy the data, we won't know who to hide from Nef's repo squad.

MTwoSpyRetrieve

410 > Eudico

Accessing the file… Okay, okay, Ah, guts. Biz. This says they're going after your field team… today.

420 > TheBusiness

They're already overdue for a check-in. Outworlder, you need find my team before Nef's repo squad does.

MTwoRecoveryActivate

430 > TheBusiness

They were in debt because they choose the calling of conservation over filling Nef's pockets. It seems like the preacher wanted to make a point. But… this isn't the whole team. We need more info, search the bodies.

MTwoRecoveryDecoded

440 > TheBusiness

My team's being held nearby. Awaiting 'processing'. Eudico, we don't have long.

450 > Eudico

Not again... Listen, Sparky. I need you to get in there and get our people back. And you don't need to be nice about it.

MTwoRecoveryEnemies

451 > Eudico

Here come the Taxmen.

MTwoRecoveryBoss

460 > Eudico

Repo squad leader. That's the one that terrorizes the lower habs. He's responsible for this, and so much worse. Sparky: show him what it's like to have your arms ripped off.

470 > TheBusiness

That's the Eudico I remember.

MTwoRecoveryNef

480 > NefAnyo

You have no business on the Vallis, betrayer. This is an internal matter.

MTwoRecoveryWin

490 > NefAnyo

Tenno, did you think I didn't notice your little heist earlier? Quite a stunt you pulled with that young, what was his name? Thursby...

500 > Eudico

Oh no. Tenno, you have to get back here before they get to him.

MTwoFortunaInt

510 > Legs

[4.1]

Hey fellas! Thursby? Nah, ya just missed him. He…

[8.8]

No, I didn't do nothing. You don't understand.

[13.8]

Stop. Ahh…

520 > NefAnyo

Remember friends, forgo hard work for cheating and stealing, and the Void will judge not just you, but the collective. Lift together, punished together. If you lot continue along this path, I'll gladly repossess all your rigs.

530 > Eudico

Thursby... I was... I was supposed to protect him, and now he's in pieces. The medics aren't sure if they can stabilize him with… so much… missing. This was a mistake, letting you get involved. Why did I listen to Biz? Maybe it's not too late to impress Nef before his big unveiling. Appeal to his mercy - show him what we can do. Get topside. I'll fill you in.

MThreeElevator

540 > Eudico

Nef's pushing ahead with activating that coolant tower. But it's not ready. My engineers need a mineral, Amarast, to counter the inevitable heat cascade. I've marked an excavation site where you should find some. Bring it back, and maybe we stop the entire Vallis from being bathed in slag.

MThreeObjDigsite

550 > TheBusiness

Amarast? Do you not understand? Nothing you do will make Nef kind. The more you give, the more he'll take. When you rise up, people get hurt, but if we left that fear divide us… it will only get worse. I saw a Eudico I haven't seen for years back there. Fortuna needs that Eudico back. We need Vox.

MThreeExcavWin

560 > Eudico

That should be enough. Get to the coolant tower before Nef turns on the juice.

MThreeObjTower

570 > NefAnyo

Solaris! The investor showcase is tomorrow and you lot still maintain the coolant tower is not ready. Have you no faith? My test-run will commence now, and the Board shall know it was I, Nef Anyo, who brought the glory of the Orokin to life once more!

580 > Eudico

He's starting already? Nef's gonna trigger a heat cascade if he boots that coolant tower up without the Amarast. He's going to get us all killed. Hurry.

590 > NefAnyo

Solaris! Why isn't it working? Fix this!

600 > Eudico

We're… too late. Come back to Fortuna, Tenno.

MThreeObjReturnFortuna

610 > NefAnyo

Solaris. This disaster is your bumbling. Present me your Floor Boss.

620 > Eudico

I… I am. Floor Boss Eudico FB-9. I take responsibility for this.

630 > NefAnyo

Finally. One of you shows some backbone. Floor Boss, select fifty workers of low efficiency and have them in front of Fortuna for repo. Their upgrades I shall bequeath to Solaris of greater efficiency. And for the failures: brain-shelving. Make your list. You have one orbit-hour.

640 > TheBusiness

Eudico?!? You're not going through with this, are you?

650 > Eudico

Not now, Biz.

MThreeFortunaInt

660 > NefAnyo

Understand this, Solaris: you are all replaceable. Corpus Engineers are more expensive but far cheaper than the loss of an Orokin coolant tower! Fifty Solaris now, or the lot of Fortuna tomorrow. The Void commands it.

670 > Eudico

Ever since Nef crushed Solaris United, killed my friends, I've focused on one thing, keeping him happy. Thought it was the only way to keep people safe. It's not working. Biz is right, someone needs to say something. Do something. Listen. You don't have to help. You can leave Fortuna and never come back. Wouldn't blame ya', this isn't your fight. But, Sparky, Nef's massing his troops outside our doors. And you're the only thing standing between us and bloody oblivion.

671 > Eudico

Sparky, Nef's massing his troops outside our doors. And you're the only thing standing between us and bloody oblivion.

680 > Eudico

Knew I could trust you. Take this, there's a present in there for the mucking Taxmen. Why don't you deliver it to them?

690 > TheBusiness

What are you trying to do, Eudico? Buy him off? You've lost it. Wait. Where's my K-bomb?

MFourElevator

700 > NefAnyo

Where's my fifty Solaris, Fortuna? You're wasting my time. Who do you think you are?

710 > VoxSolaris

We are the used. The mutilated. The indebted. We are Solaris United. And this Tenno is our messenger. Hello, Nef.

MFourSurface

730 > Eudico

Now, Sparky. Get that case as close as you can to them.

740 > Eudico

Now give 'em hell. For Thursby.

750 > NefAnyo

Solaris United? I know that voice. I killed that voice! You are... a ghost. But. I. Don't. Believe in ghosts!

760 > VoxSolaris

Halt repossessions immediately. Recognize the importance of our work. These are our demands.

770 > NefAnyo

I will find you.

780 > NefAnyo

Whoever you are, you don't know what hell you've brought upon your people.

790 > Eudico

Sparky, not worth it. Get back in here. Nef, won't risk destroying Fortuna with that Orb. We've bought the time we need.

800 > NefAnyo

That's right, scuttle back to your hole. I'm going to replace the lot of you with Moas. In the meantime, Profit-Taker here will make sure you stay good and planted.

810 > TheBusiness

I… I owe you an apology, Eudi. And if you see… 'Vox' pass along my thanks as well.

820 > Eudico

No, Biz. Thank you - for not giving up on me. We all lift together.

830 > TheBusiness

And we will... We just poked a kubrodon, and if we don't show who's in charge, we're lunch.

MFourFortuna

840 > NefAnyo

Investors! Despite some recent, mmm, labor-relations issues, we are going ahead with today's showcase. You will witness Orokin terraforming technology. Expanding the Vallis more quickly than you could possibly imagine. Making available land for new opportunities, new investments. Behold this 'coolant tower,' once thought damaged beyond repair, returned to glorious, profitability.

850 > Eudico

Sparky, Solaris United's just getting started. Nef won't want us messing with his Investor Showcase - he's planted that Orb Mother out there to make sure we stay in here. But now is the time to press for leverage. Head to the surface when you're ready, I've arranged little something for you.

MFiveElevator

860 > Eudico

Roky lent us her personal K-Drive. Fastest board in the Vallis. See if you can't slip right past that spider momma.

MFiveSurface

870 > Eudico

Hit the accelerator, Sparky. No hope of outgunning that Orb.

880 > Eudico

How's the ride? If you want one see Roky when this is all over. Right now we got a job to do.

890 > Eudico

You made it. Time to give Nef a taste of repossession. Patch me into the coolant towers' control system.

900 > NefAnyo

Corpus engineers? What's going on down there? I've lost control of the coolant tower. The investors are watching. Acknowledge!

910 > VoxSolaris

You never had control, Nef Anyo. This tower is Solaris United property. We do with it as we please.

920 > NefAnyo

You weasels picked the wrong day for collective bargaining. Corpus Kill Squads, converge on the control cluster at once! Investors, everything is under control.

930 > Eudico

Let's turn up the heat on Nef.

940 > NefAnyo

Are you freeloaders trying to damage my coolant tower? Oh of course. All your groveling has moved the bleed-heart Tenno to come to your aid. No matter. My Kill Squads will carry you all swiftly… to the Void.

950 > VoxSolaris

You have been warned. Say goodbye to your precious terraforming project.

960 > NefAnyo

Investors, enjoy this display of security prowess. Rest assured your investment is protected.

970 > NefAnyo

Solaris United, in the name of the Void, I command you to stop. You're putting my entire enterprise at risk!

980 > VoxSolaris

Stop the repossessions. Acknowledge our work. Honor the age-old accord between Solaris and Corpus.

990 > NefAnyo

Blow that tower and you'll destroy Fortuna.

1000 > VoxSolaris

Your fortune is what dies with us, Nef Anyo. And we know that, to men like you, poverty holds a greater dread than death.

1010 > NefAnyo

Wait! Wait! Fine. I'll halt the repossessions. Is that what you want? Stop this.

1020 > VoxSolaris

Never forget: Solaris make the Vallis work. No Solaris, no Vallis. Do we have an understanding?

1030 > NefAnyo

Yes. I understand.

1040 > Eudico

All I needed to hear. Sparky, drop the Amarast in. Fingers crossed this even works.

MFiveObjTower

1050 > NefAnyo

Investors, please. I swear the system works. This is just a minor hiccup. Some minor labor-relations issues to deal with. You understand, right? Right? Where are you going?

1060 > Eudico

The heat cascade is dissipating. Readings returning to normal. That did it. Well then, Sparky, looks like SU is back. Only a matter of time. If it wasn't me, someone else woulda' done it. Meanwhile, you come see me anytime, Solaris United's got plenty of work for you.

MFiveFortuna

1070 > NefAnyo

Solaris, rejoice. Due to my overwhelming generosity, I have canceled any open repossession orders and returned your work quotas to their agreed-upon levels. In unrelated news, I am offering a two million credit reward for information leading to the arrest of the radical agitator known as Vox. Report any suspicious activity to your foreman, immediately. Praise be to profit.

PostQuest

1080 > Legs

[3.5]

What? Don't recognize me? It's Thursby!

[5.8]

Look what Biz and Eudico put together.

[12.2]

Top shelf parts. Not just that, Biz gave me enough spare stock to start my own shop.

[16.2]

Legs' Pets & Parts. That's my new name: Legs

[22.3]

Don't call me Thursby no more. I got a new body, new store, new hook, new name.

[27.2]

Come back any time, and Legs'll build a Moa just for you.

1090 > TheBusiness

Outworlder. You've altered the calculus in the Vallis to our favor. Thank you. A… pity… it took young Thursby's tragedy to… motivate Eudico to take up the mantle of leadership once more. But she is the leader Solaris United needs… and tragedy is the unavoidable cost of progress. I'll make sure Thursby gets up on his new feet. I... owe it to him.
