GIncIntro

10 > Lotus

Tenno, I'm detecting Ghoul activity near your location. If you are able to address this threat get to the waypoint immediately.

GhoulInbox

10 > Lotus

Tenno, vast numbers of Grineer Ghouls are breaking ground near Cetus. Konzu requests any assistance you can provide.

20 > Lotus

The Ghoul presence on the Plains of Eidolon has returned to nominal levels. Konzu wanted me to pass along his deep appreciation for your efforts.

GIncRem

20 > Lotus

Tenno, the Ghoul threat is still active.

GIncFail

30 > Lotus

We have lost our chance. Regroup and we'll look for new opportunities to challenge this Ghoul threat.

GIncIgnore

40 > Lotus

Too late, we missed our chance.

GAss

50 > Lotus

Every pack has an alpha. I've identified one. Draw out this Ghoul and destroy it.

GCap

60 > Lotus

Something makes these ghouls different from other Grineer. I need to know what. Bring me one for study.

GCapWin

70 > Lotus

Interesting. Deep scans show this Ghoul may be vulnerable to ultra refined grokdrul. This information could help us.

GRes

80 > Lotus

Steel Meridian have identified a Ghoul who may be a candidate for defection. Unfortunately, the Grineer have already come to the same conclusion. I need you to rescue this individual before it's too late.

GExt

100 > Lotus

Ghoul heat signatures in the soil near your location. Locate and eliminate the threat.

GTheft

110 > Lotus

Ghouls come out of the ground hungry for supplies. Break into these vaults and leave them with nothing.

GTheftWin

120 > Lotus

Good work. I do not envy the Grineer who has to tell those Ghouls there are no supplies left for them.

GCache

130 > Lotus

The Grineer have left resources caches for emerging Ghouls. Empty them and leave nothing for these beasts.

GSab

140 > Lotus

The Grineer are dropping in growth hormone infusers to speed up Ghoul gestation. I've located some of these infusers. Destroy them.

GSabWin

150 > Lotus

With inadequate doses of hormone, Ghoul growth will be stunted. Good work.

GBountyIntro

160 > Lotus

Cetus is in danger so long as those Ghouls grow beneath their soil. I have learned that grokdrul is poisonous to Ghouls. Collect grokdrul and pump it directly into their soil beds. Move to my waypoint.

170 > Lotus

grokdrul: a normally benign substance that is toxic to gestating ghouls. I need you to gather grokdrul and then pump it into the ground. To begin, proceed to the waypoint.

GBountyFindPro

180 > Lotus

That Grineer is carrying a grokdrul processor. Take it from him.

190 > Lotus

grokdrul processor located, acquire it.

GBountyPickupPro

200 > Lotus

Pick up the processor.

210 > Lotus

Retrieve the grokdrul processor.

GBountyFindGrok

220 > Lotus

Good, now find some grokdrul and begin loading that processor.

230 > Lotus

The next step is to fill that processor with grokdrul.

GBountyProHalf

240 > Lotus

The processor is half full. Good work, but you still need more grokdrul.

250 > Lotus

You are halfway there. Find more grokdrul.

GBountyProFull

260 > Lotus

Done. Now, get to the drop position. I am sending down an injector.

GBountyAttCell

270 > Lotus

Place the processor in the injector.

GBountyAttActive

280 > Lotus

It will take some time to pump a lethal dose. Stop all Grineer from trying to disable the injector.

GBountyAttLow

290 > Lotus

The injector is taking heavy damage.

300 > Lotus

Protect the injector.

GBountyAttAlmost

310 > Lotus

The processor is almost empty. Hold out for just a little while longer.

GBountyAttAbandon

320 > Lotus

You have moved too far from the injector to defend it. I am calling off the mission.

GBountyFail

330 > Lotus

You let them destroy the injector, this mission is a failure.

GBountyWin

340 > Lotus

The grokdrul has made that soil uninhabitable to ghouls. Your work here is done.

350 > Lotus

I am no longer detecting live ghoul signatures beneath your feet. The grokdrul has done its work.

GBountyHunt

400 > Konzu

Lok-heb, just before dawn Ghouls took out a hunting party. Not a Grineer in sight, then BAM, out the ground they come. The hunters never stood a chance. Now we're spotting Ghouls everywhere. Tenno, kruna-metta, rid the plains of these monsters.

410 > Konzu

Everything I know about these ghouls comes from a Corpus rogue scientist who passed through here some years back. Obsessed with Ghouls, he said they pulled secrets out of the ground. Still don't know what he meant by that. Vanished one day, leaving his notes behind. Killer, you deal with these things and I'll share his notes with you.

790 > Lotus

Konzu's right. These Ghouls need to be dealt with immediately. First, we need to find them.

GBountyHuntWin

420 > Konzu

Ai yo, killer, you put those Ghouls right back in the ground… For good this time.

GBountyAss

430 > Konzu

Ghouls are hideous things, ready to kill the moment they take their first breath. Thing is, they're dumb as the dirt that birthed them. But now… now we've got a smart one. Leading the pack, coordinating. There's nothing more dangerous than a ghoul with a brain. Track it down and take it out.

GBountyAssWin

440 > Konzu

Killer, you did it. That Alpha Ghoul's pushing up Dragonlilies. The rest of them shouldn't be too difficult for one of your comrades to clean up.

GBountyRes

450 > Konzu

A Ghoul defector? Think that's possible, Tenno? Cressa Tal of Steel Meridian seems to. She tells me they were contacted by a Ghoul trying to defect. Grineer intercepted the message and now that Ghoul is being held for dissection. Make sure that doesn't happen.

GBountyResWin

460 > Konzu

Cressa Tal sends her regards, Tenno. If there's any way to redeem these monsters, then Steel Meridian will be the ones to find it.

GBountyExt

470 > Konzu

We got a Ghoul regiment about to take the plains. Scans show a mass of bio signatures ready to break ground. Find them and smash them. I need my plains safe again.

GBountyExtWin

480 > Konzu

Ai yo, those dirt-nappers didn't know what hit 'em. Few more runs like this and the plains will be back to normal… levels of danger.

GHekChirpsGen

490 > VayHek

My ghouls… my fantasies made flesh…

500 > VayHek

My ghouls can remake you, too. Accept their touch.

520 > VayHek

Rise from your cold beds, my creations. Spit the earth from your mouths. And KILL!

530 > VayHek

Rise my ghouls. Be born.

540 > VayHek

Ghouls, wake! Time to play. Time… TO KILL.

550 > VayHek

Come out, come out, come out! Meet your NEW FRIENDS! It's SLAYTIME!

560 > VayHek

My favorite ghoul is… THE ONE THAT RIPS YOUR MAGGOT HEAD OFF!

570 > VayHek

Like all parents I want a future for my children. As long as that future involves DEAD TENNO MAGGOTS!

580 > VayHek

Ah, I love that new ghoul smell, fresh from the bag.

590 > VayHek

My ghouls came from bags. YOU! WILL LEAVE IN THEM!

600 > VayHek

My ghouls kill to live, and live to kill. And kill. AND KILL!

610 > VayHek

Dinnertime, my ghouls! You're having MAGGOT!

620 > VayHek

Watch your step, Tenno. My ghouls could be anywhere.

GExtBurial

640 > Lotus

You have stepped into a Ghoul burial ground. Get ready for a fight.

650 > Lotus

Careful. Subterranean ghoul signatures, and lots of them.

660 > Lotus

Eliminate any Ghouls that emerge from the ground.

GExtNextGrave

670 > Lotus

This area is clear, move on.

680 > Lotus

No Ghouls remain, keep moving.

GExtWin

690 > Lotus

All done. I am detecting no more Ghoul burial sites in your vicinity.

GBountyGenExtStart

700 > Lotus

I need you to take out local concentrations of Ghouls before we can begin our final assault.

GBountyGenExtWin

710 > Lotus

With those smaller burial grounds out of the way, we can better take out the larger ones.

790 > Lotus

Here we go. Your assault has stirred up communications across the plains. Analyzing them now.

GBountyGenCapWin

720 > Lotus

Our captive appears non-verbal but that does not mean he has no secrets to share. I'll update you on my progress.

730 > Lotus

Target captured. Sedating them for transport. Well done.

GBountyGenResWin

740 > Lotus

Debriefing the defector now. Keep moving while I process this intel.

GBountyGenSabStart

750 > Lotus

The Grineer are sending down hormone infusers to bolster their Ghouls. Intercept and destroy the infusers.

GBountyGenSabWin

760 > Lotus

Well done. Stronger ghouls are the last thing we need.

GBountyGenTheftStart

770 > Lotus

Give these Ghouls no advantage. Break into nearby Armored Vaults and take everything inside.

GBountyGenTheftWin

780 > Lotus

Well done. We need every advantage we can get against these Ghouls.

GBountyHuntCapStart

800 > Lotus

Capture an Alpha Ghoul for interrogation. They may know the locations of high concentration graveyards.

GBountyHuntResStart

810 > Lotus

A prospective ghoul defector was captured trying to warn us about Ghoul burial locations. Rescue them so that they may tell us what they know.

GBountyHuntAssStart

820 > Lotus

Before we can assault ghoul burial sites, we need to hobble their command. Find and eliminate the Ghoul Alpha near my waypoint.

GBountyHuntAssWin

830 > Lotus

Alpha eliminated. The Ghouls are scattering. We are one step closer to our goal.

GBountyHuntCacheStart

840 > Lotus

I have detected several supply caches near my waypoint. Empty them before the ghouls do.

GBountyHuntSabStart

850 > Lotus

The Grineer are attempting to bolster the ghouls with hormone infusers. Intercept these devices and destroy them.

GBountyHuntFinal

860 > Lotus

The intel you collected has led us to believe that there is a massive Ghoul burial site at my waypoint. I need you to wipe it out.

GBountyAssIntro

870 > Lotus

Konzu has identified an Alpha Ghoul wreaking havoc on the plains. Locate and eliminate them.

GBountyAssCapStart

880 > Lotus

Intel suggests our next capture target has intel on the Ghoul Alpha. Bring them to me.

GBountyAssResStart

890 > Lotus

A ghoul defector was captured in a botched assassination attempt. Rescue them before they're executed.

GBountyAssExtStart

900 > Lotus

Our target is still in hiding. Let's prod their loyalties: a frontal assault on a ghoul burial ground may draw them out.

GBountyAssExtWin

910 > Lotus

Here we go. Your assault has stirred up communications across the plains. Analyzing now.

GBountyAssHuntStart

920 > Lotus

Before we can take out the alpha, we need to thin the ghoul herd. I am sending a grokdrul injector your way.

GBountyAssHuntWin

930 > Lotus

The Grokdrul is doing its work. Now we can focus on our target.

GBountyAssFinal

940 > Lotus

Your hard work has borne fruit: I have located our target.

GBountyResIntro

950 > Lotus

If Konzu is right and there exists a ghoul with cognition complex enough to want to defect… we should help them immediately.

GBountyResAssStart

960 > Lotus

Steel Meridian says that our defector was captured by a Ghoul Alpha who is holding them for Dr. Tengus. Find and eliminate this alpha.

GBountyResAssWin

970 > Lotus

With that Alpha out of the way, Dr. Tengus has no way of reaching the defector. This has bought us time.

GBountyResCapStart

980 > Lotus

Steel Meridian has identified a Ghoul who possesses crucial information about our defector. Bring them to me.

GBountyResCapWin

990 > Lotus

Target in custody. Extracting information now.

GBountyResExtStart

1000 > Lotus

Create a distraction. Move in and eliminate a group of Ghoul burial grounds.

GBountyResExtWin

1010 > Lotus

That worked. Grineer forces are being rallied. This will make our ultimate rescue mission more manageable.

GBountyResHuntStart

1020 > Lotus

Intel you picked up earlier has revealed the location of a massive Ghoul burial ground. We need to take care of this before we do anything else.

GBountyResHuntWin

1030 > Lotus

With that out of the way we can safely find our defector.

GBountyResFinal

1040 > Lotus

That did it. The defector's location has been pinpointed.

GBountyExtIntro

1050 > Lotus

Vay Hek believes the Ghouls are his ultimate weapon^ that they are undefeatable. Shatter his confidence by wiping out his prize soldiers in battle.

GBountyExtAssStart

1060 > Lotus

Ghoul Alphas are the strongest of the strong, leaders of the pack, Vay Hek's pride and joy. Send a message to Vay Hek by killing this pack's Alpha.

GBountyExtAssWin

1070 > Lotus

All that anger and no leader left to channel it. Vay Hek will not be pleased.

GBountyExtCapStart

1080 > Lotus

Bring me a live Ghoul. I want to see what it can tell me about Vay Hek's intentions.

GBountyExtSabStart

1090 > Lotus

Vay Hek plans to enhance his Ghouls with a hormone infusion. Intercept the infusers and destroy them.

GBountyExtHuntStart

1100 > Lotus

Vay Hek has planted too many Ghouls to take out in open combat. We need to poison them before they can break ground. Get to my waypoint.

GBountyExtHuntWin

1110 > Lotus

The Grokdrul poison is doing its work. You have sent a clear message to Vay Hek.

GhoulFragment

1120 > Sigor

Every living thing longs to be whole. Every living thing yearns to defy death. If from death you returned, yet the part you loved best did not… what then?

1130 > Sigor

My name is Sigor Savah, morphology specialist with Nef Anyo's Venusian terraforming expedition. I was tasked with decoding the Orokin gene record of what had once been a preserve, and reviving select specimens for study. This is an account of my encounter with lifeform VK-7, a larger-than-average kavat specimen possessed of… atypical behavioural characteristics. Specimen VK-7, unlike the others, did not come from a gene record. She was found, frozen, in a sealed closet close to the environmental control station. Her unassuming tomb for millennia.Here, then, was an intact example of Orokin-era fauna. I was Corpus: a scientist second and a businessman first. VK-7 - an Orokin-strain kavat of unusual size and patterning… well… I could think of several members of the nobility who would pay a fortune for such a thing. Enough to buy a handsome slice of any planetoid of my choosing.

1140 > Sigor

I had the corpse lain on a dissection rack, ready for a full surgical examination. Then, like any animal dreaming, the paw… ...twitched. I glanced at the vitals scanner, expecting to see some anomalous electrical reaction taking place, contracting ancient muscles... but no. What I saw, there, was a beating heart. I did not revive Specimen VK-7. Before my eyes she willed herself back to life. It was… the most… beautiful… thing I had ever seen. Some speak of feeling a connection to something greater than themselves, to which I laughed, as any right-thinking Corpus would. Life is profit, profit is life. But, in that moment… watching that animal claw her way out of death's dark pit… though I did not admit it to myself… something in me was forever changed.

1150 > Sigor

I found her sharp gaze unsettling. The way she would watch my every move from her cage unnerved me. When a visitor came I would watch VK-7 studying their habits. In time she came to anticipate regular arrivals, having memorized their schedules. On the morning of my fourth shift I entered my laboratory to find her cage door open, and VK-7 gone. One consequence of breathing life back into a world is unintentionally resurrecting lifeforms and viruses one finds less desirable. The Infestation is both of those things. Reports returned of some hive sites found destroyed… and then of a large beast found at others. An animal intelligent enough to learn and react to Corpus behaviors and patterns. Some claimed it had learned to measure ammunition expenditure to better attack when a target was most vulnerable. Needless to say almost none who attacked the beast survived. This had to be Specimen VK-7.

1160 > Sigor

I left to join with a flamer team already deployed to a nearby hive. Both team and hive were dead when I arrived: killed by tooth and claw. Fearing for my life I made to leave, and was apprehended by the site of a low figure blocking my egress: Specimen VK-7. She prowled forward from the shadow of a shattered, snow-blown hive, her pawprints red with blood. I made to open a comm channel, to request assistance. VK-7 growled, low, and… I swear this to be true… slowly shook her head. I did not make that call. She padded closer, and I saw the wound on her side. She turned that side toward me: an act of trust… and a request for aid. I unpacked my field kit and, carefully, went to work.

1170 > Sigor

I did not report my experience with Specimen VK-7. I could not admit why, then, but now I can tell you. I felt it would have violated a trust. There I was: a morphology specialist, sworn to the Corpus Empire, and yet... for reasons entirely illogical... I placed loyalty to a wild animal above my life oath... and every doctrine that values self-interest above ... 'charity.' But keep that confidence I did. I think that is why VK-7 brought me the hand.

1180 > Sigor

Somehow she had managed to infiltrate the facility, bypass two different security gates, and had gained entry to my laboratory without raising an alarm… or my awareness. She held in her jaws a severed hand. Blackened. Fossilised. Gently, she laid it before me and, with a meaningful glance, turned, padded away into the shadows, and was gone. I analyzed the hand. What I learned that night, alone, in my laboratory, would become an obsession to focus the remainder of my life.

1190 > Sigor

The hand was of Orokin construction. Emphasis on that last word. Whoever the original possessor had been, they were born of no mother. In the past I had been privileged to read some of Alad V's treatises on Warframes, and there could be no mistake: what I held was the hand of one of those very… creatures… and one Anyo Corp had no record of. Therefore my first task was to extract a working blueprint - or as near as possible - from the sample's cellular makeup. One word recurred again and again, the word that had once been her name: Khora. Khora.

1200 > Sigor

I was convinced: Specimen VK-7 wanted Khora resurrected. Why else bring the hand to me? Why trust me with this sole remaining piece of a lost Orokin warrior? The evidence of such rich, nuanced cognition on the part of an animal… that was the real treasure here - the value of which, I knew, would be lost on my superiors. VK-7 would be hunted down and, at best, captured for testing. At worst… well. Therefore I told them none of this. To no avail.

1210 > Sigor

Specimen VK-7 was tracked to a box canyon 4.3 klicks south-southwest of the atmosphere processing station. The Horror of the Hives, as she had come to be known, had been deemed unworthy of study - and was to be destroyed in her lair. I positioned myself at the entrance to her cave-home and waited... to doom myself in the name of some imagined ideal. My own voice screamed in my head "What are you doing? What are you *doing?*" Once, not so long before, I was a man who would have sold this animal for profit. Now I stood in the freezing cold, surrendering all I had for… some would say nothing. I would say... heh. Something greater than myself. They came, picking their way through the snow, heads bowed, pushing against a numbing, slashing wind that froze skin and... carried my voice to them. I begged them to stop, pleading VK-7s case... with a bomb in my hand. It went about as well as you'd expect. They did not listen. Numsol is employed, traditionally, as an animal tranquilizer... but converts to an aerosol easily enough. The canister rolled from my fingers, into the canyon, puffed through four inches of frost, and erupted in a geyser of brown-green gas - thrown toward the hunters by that roaring wind. Bathing them. I am a better scientist than saboteur. Their respirators dealt with the numsol as handily as every other contaminant, and I was promptly arrested. But VK-7 did escape. I achieved that much.

1220 > Sigor

The atmosphere processor wasn't made for imprisonment, or interrogations, but the lack of facilities did not prevent them performing both. Bound and beaten in maintenance closet A-5, I told them everything. It doomed me. Zyl, the oxygen tech from Reclamation 3, had a previous career in psychological operations for some branch of the military. Therefore he had been selected to administer to me, to interview me and, ultimately, to execute me. Barrel pressed to my forehead Zyl said he would prefer it if I did not look at him. Obliging as ever, I closed my eyes. There was a sharp crack, then nothing more. I opened my eyes. Zyl lay dead at my feet, limp, throat clasped in VK-7's jaws. I was Corpus no longer. Remaining on Venus would be death for both of us. We had to escape.

1230 > Sigor

Together we made for an automated cargo relay - one that would ferry us anonymously to the hold of a Solaris rail tractor in geosynchronous orbit, and away from Venus. How well she guided me, circumnavigating patrols and security cameras. But, inevitably, my former comrades calculated our likely destination and closed in, rapidly. Plasma blasts lanced the air from both sides of the hangar. I bundled myself into the nearest open conveyor, bound for orbit - a waste of time, I knew. We had reached our means of escape, but had no hope of achieving it. Troopers and Moas closed in, in a classic pincer movement. Sparks and near-misses flashed hot against my face. In moments our conveyance would be destroyed, and us along with it - and my only thought was heartbreak for how badly I had failed her. In that final moment VK-7 did something that will stay with me for the rest of my days. With one of her meaningful glances - the last we would ever share - she reared up and activated the conveyor. My pod's door slammed shut and, outside my viewport, she leapt toward the enemy. Before I could slap the release and free myself the magrails activated and I was hauled out of the complex, skyward, and into orbit. Saved. Leaving her behind.

1240 > Sigor

That was… well, many years ago, now. I have spent my life attempting to locate Khora's remains. Contacts inform me she was found, fused but intact, within the Orokin terraforming complex itself and shipped offworld via a notorious Solaris rail agent - who subsequently vanished. I now believe, firmly, that her remains are to be found on the Eidolon Plains. I go there now, entrusting these encrypted logs to my old friend, Konzu, for safekeeping. There I shall put a lifetime of searching to rest. I have never doubted that VK-7 survived Venus. And to this day I still believe that, before I leave this life forever, I shall one day look up from my writings to find a familiar figure standing in my doorway… alongside her kavat. I am Sigor Savah. A better man, as it turns out, than a scientist.
