Used to think I did hard work that others couldn't. Then I realized there was a difference between couldn't and shouldn't, and I stopped doing that work. Today, I need you to deal with muckers who wouldn't learn that lesson.

20 > Nightcap

Roots and fruits miss Nokko. See, it's hard to live and grow when you got an army of merks trampling all over you. Need you to fight for them like Nokko used to do.

30 > Nightcap

Too many merk-merks trying to turn the garden into some sort of gilded bunker for his majesty Nef Anyo. Put an end to all that, will ya?

InteractRoots

10 > Nightcap

Oh that? Yeah, that's The Prince or will be if we can manage to grow it, needs fergolyte, but that's rare in the Deepmines these days, I tell you. Ain't been able to find any of that since well, I don't remember. Some say The Prince makes ya dream funny. I say that's just nonsense.

NoraNokkoHint

10 > NoraNight

Dreamers. Ever think about what lives below the surface? An entire universe that we step on everyday. Quietly toiling away, making life above possible. Until some bigwig with a plan says, 'sterilize this filth.' Well, Dreamers, that's exactly what's about to happen in the Deepmines below Fortuna. Unless somebody drops in to help.

20 > NoraNight

There's a buzz in Fortuna. Something's changing. Something's growing. In the basement below the basement. And that something is calling out for help.

30 > NoraNight

You ever wonder, who speaks for the dirt? For the untold millions of organisms living beneath your feet? Mushrooms, fungus, microbiota? The creatures that keep the circle of life turning. Nowhere is that life more fragile than the Orb Vallis. That's where I'm hearing it from. A voice in the darkness calling for backup. Dreamers. Are you going to answer that call?

40 > NoraNight

Hearing strange reports from Fortuna, Dreamers. Mushrooms sprouting where they've never sprouted before. In the walls, the machines, in the toxic wastes. They say they're hearing something coming from the vents that lead down to the old decommissioned Deepmines and it sounds like laughter.

50 > NoraNight

Mushrooms. Some can kill you, others make a great salad, and still others, they can spread your mind out until you're not sure where you end and where the universe begins. But not everyone respects their local fungi, Nef Anyo has called for their eradication from the Deepmines below Fortuna so he can build his Palace of Prosperity. If you ask me, someone needs to head down there to show Nef where to shove his new palace.

60 > NoraNight

Nora here, Dreamers, and tonight we're truly hearing from the underground. Down below the Vallis lies a deep, deep mine, and down in that mine live some special little guys doing no harm to nobody. Enter a certain tinpot hemorrhoid by the name of Nef Anyo. He wants to build a shining Palace of Prosperity in that dark, damp garden. No regard at all for the folks who have roots down there. You gonna stand for that, Dreamers?

VendorBarks

10 > Nightcap

Doesn't take much, you know. Little food. Little water. Roots and fruits want to grow. It's what they do.

20 > Nightcap

Coolant waste. Industrial waste. People waste. You name it, I've got fungi that'll be more than happy to gobble it up for ya.

30 > Nightcap

Who does this Nef fella' think he is? Coming to the Vallis pretending he alone can make it green when the roots and fruits have been doing that work since time immemorial.

40 > Nightcap

There was a time before, you know. Don't mean before the Corpus, or before Orokin. I mean before the firestorm took over Venus. I think the fruits and roots remember that. Least, 'like to think they do.

50 > Nightcap

So, what's with the get'up, is it Naberus or something?

60 > Nightcap

Mushrooms. Some's good for you. Some's bad. Some's somewhere in between.

70 > Nightcap

You see Nokko out there, you be nice, little guy's me old mate, he is.

80 > Nightcap

Corporate got new plans for the deepmines. Here's the thing about plans though, all sorts of things blow your plans up. Specifically explosives.

90 > Nightcap

Yeah, I got me a whisper network. Walls got ears y'know. If something happens in the deepmines, I'm the first to know.

100 > Nightcap

We were all doing just fine down here till Nef and his merk-merks showed up. Cleaning up? That's what the roots and fruits do. Get rid of them and you can see how quickly this turns upside down.

110 > Nightcap

That Nef Anyo bloke's trying to sham some sort of glow-up for the deepmines. Deepmines are doing just fine.

120 > Nightcap

You find it bright in here?

130 > Nightcap

Hey, who's this Narmer I keep hearing about? Sounds like a bunch of gib-faced dung muckers to me.

140 > Nightcap

Sometimes, it feels like I've been down here forever.

150 > Nightcap

That door there? Used to open to the Deepmines. But corporate and I had a bit of a labor disagreement and it just stopped working.

160 > Nightcap

I do miss the surface. Wonder what Fortuna's gonna look like when they finish construction.

RootHungry

20 > Nightcap

I reckon' our little prince there is a bit famished. He'd love some fergolyte, if you got some.

RootHungryOtherStages

30 > Nightcap

Hear that? Guess you don't. Our prince is telling you he's hungry again.

40 > Nightcap

I think The Prince is ready for some more Fergolyte if you can get your mitts on some.

ExtermBountyIntro

40 > NefAnyo

Why? Why is my beautiful project so far behind schedule? Can the fierce Corpus not eradicate some meager fungus? It's time you gave unto the Void once more… With your lives if necessary.

50 > Nightcap

Ah, there he is. Corporate's head priest. Need you to give him a human resources deficit, but first I got some other jobs for you.

60 > NefAnyo

It's overtime time. Double the crews. Double the eradication. My Palace of Prosperity must be built.

70 > Nightcap

Yeah, what he said, only… the exact mucking opposite. First things first.

80 > NefAnyo

Excuse me, Corpus. Why does my palace's new atrium still look like a forty day old sandwich?? Clean this place up immediately.

90 > Nightcap

If Nef wants the Deepmines cleaned, let's start with his invasives. But first, I've got a couple other things need doing.

VisionsFinished

50 > Nightcap

You need to sit down? You look a bit wobbly.

60 > Nightcap

So… Learn anything? Or is that all nonsense?

70 > Nightcap

Like I said, nothing to it. Now, you wanna get back out to the garden?

MushroomVisions

80 > Nightcap

Don't listen to that trash, mate. Corporate just wants a little fungal remediation, is'all. Get in. Get out. Get paid. Easy credits.

90 > Nightcap

Right? Something messing with our gear? Sure you ain't been snacking on these mushrooms, mate?

100 > Nightcap

Job sure would be easier if these mushrooms weren't so mucking pretty to look at.

110 > Nightcap

Watch the spores! Get back to the airlock you MUCKERS! Run! What the hell is that??

120 > Nightcap

Hey. For Sol's sake who let a mucking kid down here? Hey! Get back here. Stop mucking about with our gear.

130 > Nightcap

You little mucker. You dumped me muckin' accelerant. Huh, smart little mucker.

140 > Nightcap

No corporate. No co. Nokko. I'm gonna call you Nokko.

150 > Nightcap

All this fungi… I swear it's filtering the waste from the towers. You take the fungi away and Venus goes all fire and brimstone.

160 > NefAnyo

It has come to my attention that some Solaris are refusing work orders in the deepmines. Such insubordination will be dealt with swiftly.

170 > Nightcap

No. Mr. Anyo, sir! I will not comply. I'm shutting down the elevator. Nothing more goes up and nothing more comes down.

180 > Nightcap

Well look at you, Nokko. You ain't some leftover freak that some Orokin mucker made in a lab. Don't know how or why, but somewhere along the line you became the roots and fruits.

190 > NefAnyo

I should have never sent Solaris to do the job of Corpus.

200 > Nightcap

Nokko! They're coming.

210 > Nightcap

I'm blowing the mineshaft. No more coming in. No more getting out.

220 > Nightcap

Just you and me now, kid.

230 > Nightcap

Okay. Nokko. Your garden is safe.

240 > Nokko

(Happy noises)

250 > Nightcap

It's getting dark, Nokko. I don't think I can help you much longer.

260 > Nokko

(Sad Nokko noises)

270 > Nightcap

Goodbye, Nokko.

280 > Nokko

(Warm low sigh)

290 > Nightcap

You're trying to tell me, that I, good old Nightcap, died down here ages ago? Haha. You better be careful, The Prince can play tricks on you. He's a funny fella, just like Nokko. But you gotta keep your head on straight. Trust me, you ain't careful, this place will turn you all sorts funny.

ExtermBountyFinal

100 > Nightcap

Do what Nokko used to do and send them a message. Take out as many invasive Corpus as you can.

110 > Nightcap

Here's the problem with invasives. You got one, you got ten. Once you got ten, you got a thousand. So… Let's thin 'em out a bit.

120 > Nightcap

Like I always say, the deepmines is a garden. And like any garden you gotta pull the weeds. And by weeds, I mean Corpus.

ExtermBountyComp

130 > Nightcap

You made quick work of them. Plenty of fertilizer for the roots and fruits. They'll appreciate that. Come see me if you need more work.

140 > Nightcap

You can't get rid of invasives for good, but you can slow 'em down. And today, you gave the roots and fruits a fighting chance. Go put your feet up.

150 > Nightcap

Hear that? It's almost peaceful down here. Don't rest too easy though, always got more work for you.

ARescueBountyAcc

160 > Nightcap

Roots and fruits ain't the only organisms Nef's merks have been messing with. Yeah, they're going after the Vallis critters too.

170 > Nightcap

Right then. Got a whole list of chores for ya', culminating in a jailbreak. Sound good? Good.

180 > Nightcap

Nef's always been messing with people, but in my estimation, people got it coming.

VendorIntroFirstTime

170 > Nightcap

A visitor? Nokko? Let me get the lights.

180 > Nightcap

Oh. You're not Nokko. So you're who they sent down to help? Could have been down here a lot sooner, what with these invasives sprouting up again. Invasives don't make for a happy garden. Nokko used to do the weeding. Nokko did all sorts of gardening. Sweet kid he was. Still wonder what happened to that scamp. That's the circle for you though. You can be my gardener. You'll do just fine.

ARescueBountyIntro

190 > NefAnyo

Corpus. It is my delight to announce the most wonderful addition to my Palace of Prosperity. A zoo!! But not just any zoo, a zoo of playful chimeras. Hybrid creatures that my wonderfully creative scientific team is developing as we speak.

200 > Nightcap

Well that's mucking terrifying isn't it. We won't be letting that happen.

210 > NefAnyo

Hello Genetics Research Division. How are my chimeras coming along? My zoo is waiting. I want my Virminkodon!

220 > Nightcap

A what???? We gotta get those critters outta there before Nef's mad scientists sew them together. But first I need you to do something for me.

230 > NefAnyo

Researchers! Why? Why? Is it taking so long to create my zoo hybrids? Do you need more specimens? Or do you need more motivation?

240 > Nightcap

Those scientists could be trying to understand why the fruits and roots are keeping them alive. Instead they're mangling innocent critters to make freaks for Nef's Zoo. First things first.

When corporate doesn't listen. We make 'em listen. Right?

230 > Nightcap

Say, you wanna talk gardening… foraging… outfitting. You come to the right place, mate.

240 > Nightcap

All of the deepmines, that's me garden. And you, you're me gardener.

Can't let invasive pests into your garden, 'cause your garden, it ain't got no line of defense against them. 'Cept you.

The Taxmen are using the Vallis animals for all sorts of sadistic business. Think you can put an end to all that?

260 > Nightcap

Turns out, Nef's bloody 'science' lab has a backdoor into the Deepmines. Doing all sorts of nasty experiments on the Vallis animals up there. Think you could sneak in there and put a stop to all that?

Corporate's new manager. Don't like 'em. Don't like what he's up to in the garden. You take care of him for me?

330 > Nightcap

Not all invasive weeds are plants. Some got legs, guns, and ranks. Need to be pulled all the same.

VendorBountyBrowse

330 > Nightcap

So, ready to do some gardening?

340 > Nightcap

Felt like, for a while, that Nef was going to leave me garden alone. Then that mucker comes mucking around again. Good thing I got you to help.

350 > Nightcap

You'll look for Nokko when you're out there, right?

360 > Nightcap

Busy day in the garden. Lots of jobs. You finish one, come back, I got more.

370 > Nightcap

Fruits and roots can usually take care of themselves, but against these invasives? For that they need some help.

380 > Nightcap

So, Nef wants to build some sort of 'Palace of Prosperity' down here? What in the life-giving dirt does that mean? The deepmines is already a palace for the roots and fruits.

390 > Nightcap

Deepmines is a community. Organisms living for each other. Don't reckon we're gonna let one mucker ruin that so he can sit down here by his lonesome.

400 > Nightcap

Yeah, I got a bit of work for you. Head down to the Deepmines.

410 > Nightcap

Just get outta bed? The garden's buzzing, mate. Let's get doing.

If you see Nokko out there, you give him my regards.

We are way past due to get these jobs done. Chop, chop.

What is going on down here? Where is my palace? You haven't even broken ground yet. It's time for a shake up. Meet the new boss. He won't be as nice as the old boss.

350 > Nightcap

Let's give that new boss an early retirement. But first… the task list.

360 > NefAnyo

My Palace of Prosperity will be an impenetrable fortress where no Narmer, Grineer, or even Corpus usurper will dare to enter.

370 > Nightcap

Too bad for him, you're already inside. Let's get to work.

380 > NefAnyo

This place stinks! Filth grows everywhere. Commander! Kill it all. Now.

390 > Nightcap

Too much yapping and not enough listening. That's his problem. Your final target is that commander. On the way, I got some other work for you.

AssassinateBountyFinal

400 > Nightcap

One more job for you today and it's a big one. Corpus boss-man's been giving the roots and fruits no end of trouble. Find him and finish him.

410 > Nightcap

Still got one in you, yeah, I know ya do. Got a corpus boss man, needs a full repo, if you catch my meaning. Marked him for you.

420 > Nightcap

Marked a weed I need you to pull. Fruits and roots don't like em, and neither do I.

AssassinateBountyComp

430 > Nightcap

Place looks better already. Come on up.

440 > Nightcap

No biggie. Not everyone's cut out for a hard day's work, I suppose.

Look at these Taxmen, leaving their drones floating around. Bring that thing to the ground. We'll make it ours.

660 > Nightcap

Some say some of the more peculiar looking fruits can widen your thinker. Don't work nothing for me… but if it works for you, a bit of advice: You make your mind go wide? Be wary of who you let put ideas in it. A wide mind is a trusting mind, and not all muckers can be trusted.

670 > Nightcap

Each species is like a person. It's up to you to come to know them all. What do they like? What don't they like? How do they help each other? Help you? And maybe most of all, how can you help them?

The… uh… The fruits and roots… You… uh… You don't hear 'em in your head too, do yah? Just checking.

You got your fruits, above ground. And your roots, below ground. The fruits is the pretty part. The roots though, that's where the magic is.

Talkin' mushrooms? Well, sorta. They don't talk to me like, 'oi, mate let's grab a drinkie'. I still got my marbles. But if you look, and listen close? They got something to say and I can hear it.

When I first got sent down here corporate told me the fungal colony was some Orokin mess. Escaped from a lab and all that. But I don't know, the roots and fruits, they feel older than that.

Should've known those muckers wouldn't let us go without a fight. Keep 'em off the drone.

1010 > Nightcap

Keep it up, mate. Once you cut down the other half you can move on.

ExterminateComp

1020 > Nightcap

That's the last of 'em. Don't worry 'bout the invasives, they get to join the circle. They'll be much more productive that way.

1030 > Nightcap

You've broken 'em. Feel that? It's more peaceful down here already.

1040 > Nightcap

Taxmen eliminated, and some fresh eats for the roots and fruits. Quite helpful really.

ExterminateBonus

1050 > Nightcap

You cleared 'em out right quick. Merk-merks will think twice before they come 'round these parts again.

1060 > Nightcap

Almost scary how quick you work. Got another task for you.

1070 > Nightcap

Real glad you ain't on Nef's side, speedy as you are. Heard something interesting from one of the Taxmen before they croaked. Time to move.

RescueAnimalsIntro

1080 > Nightcap

Nef's captured some Vallis animals, some nonsense about a zoo for his new palace. Get 'em out and escort the beasties to safety.

1090 > Nightcap

Nef's taken some top-side critters hostage. Free those Virmink, and see that they get out safe.

1100 > Nightcap

Gib-faced muckers are kidnapping Vallis animals for some sort of zoo? Cut 'em loose.

RescueComplete

1110 > Nightcap

Safe and sound back in the Vallis wilderness. Nicely done.

1120 > Nightcap

Good work. Just like Nokko would'a done.

1130 > Nightcap

Roam free, fluffballs.

RescueAnimalBonus

1140 > Nightcap

Those Virmink couldn't have had a better protector than you. Not a scratch on 'em.

1150 > Nightcap

Walk in the park. Those critters almost looked like they were having fun.

1160 > Nightcap

Totally unharmed. Nokko would be proud of that effort, he would.

RescueSprodlIntro

1161 > Nightcap

Who puts Sprodlings in cages? Mucking Nef and his band of morally compromised geneticists, that's who. Crack 'em free, will ya?

1162 > Nightcap

Red alert. Nef's goons have captured some Sprodlings. I'm not saying they're gonna put them in the juicer, but if you rescue them first, they won't have a chance.

1163 > Nightcap

Taxmen have gone and nabbed a few of me favorite Sprodlings. Let's rectify that, shall we?

RescueSprodComplete

1164 > Nightcap

Sprodling's secured. What a relief! Now that that's taken care of, let's see what other Corpus nonsense we can spoil.

1165 > Nightcap

Don't worry little fellas, you're safe now. Okay. Next order of business.

1166 > Nightcap

You're safe little Sprodlings, but no more playing round the merks, you hear me? Gotta be tough on the little ones, for their own good, you know?

RescueSprodlBonus

1167 > Nightcap

Good as the day they sprouted. Bounce on little ones.

1168 > Nightcap

I thought for sure they were done for, can't thank you enough Tenno.

1169 > Nightcap

Look at them bouncing around like they never got kidnapped by an army of morally corrupt mercenaries. Good on yah.

RescueSolIntro

1170 > Nightcap

Taxmen just arrested a topside worker for debt crimes. Let's cut that chap a break and set 'em free.

1180 > Nightcap

Word is, Nef's got a Solaris locked up down here for heavy debt. Let's pop 'em free before their tinker winds up on a shelf.

1190 > Nightcap

Fruits and roots tell me there's a rig jockey in a cage around here. Got time for a little jailbreak?

RescueSolComplete

1200 > Nightcap

I'd say that lucky mucker owes you but I don't think they need anymore debt. Let's just call that a freebie.

1210 > Nightcap

You piked 'em right out of there. We got more work coming.

1220 > Nightcap

One less repo on Nef's ledgers. Let's keep going.

RescueSolBonus

1230 > Nightcap

You really legged it out there.

1240 > Nightcap

Proper jailbreak that was.

1250 > Nightcap

Done already? You been drinking your go go juice. Don't stop now.

SabIntro

1260 > Nightcap

Corporate's using power cells to help run their labs. Time to make like Nokko and turn the lights out. Get to a terminal.

1270 > Nightcap

Invasives are powering their tech with mounted power cells. Time for a blackout. Find a terminal.

1280 > Nightcap

Corporate needs power cells to keep the lights on. Roots and fruits prefer the darkness. So find a terminal and we'll give 'em what they like.

SabHack

1290 > Nightcap

There they are. Lazy as usual. You know what to do.

1300 > Nightcap

Found 'em? Time to cause some damage.

1310 > Nightcap

Cells are in your neighborhood, looks like. Scuttle 'em.

SabComp

1320 > Nightcap

Corporate only cares for their bottom line, and what you just broke? Looked proper expensive. Fancy some more mischief?

1330 > Nightcap

Muckers'll have a hard time hurtin' the roots and fruits in the dark.

1340 > Nightcap

Corporate can't operate down here without energy, just like the Vallis can't do without the roots and fruits. Here's hoping they realize that eventually.

SabBonusComp

1350 > Nightcap

Good hustle. That's the last of the energy cells AND merk-merks. Ah, Nokko, would be proud of you, he would.

1360 > Nightcap

Just like the old days with Nokko. Reckon that hurt the bottom line almost as much as it hurt them.

1370 > Nightcap

Without power down here taxmen'll be working double time to keep Nef happy. Let's see if we can't make things worse for 'em.

AssassinateEncounterIntro

1380 > Nightcap

Corporate's trying to muscle in with some stronger invasives. Roots and fruits got no defense against these new guys. 'Cept you.

1390 > Nightcap

Nef's new head lackey is down here cracking the whip on all those merks. Time to return the favor. Take him out.

1400 > Nightcap

Nef's got a new bossman working down here. Hand picked to wipe out the roots and fruits. And they will, unless you get to 'em first.

AssassianteDrawOut

1410 > Nightcap

You're gonna have to put down a few invasives to get our target to show his ugly mug. Get to it.

1420 > Nightcap

Bossman's hiding in his office. Take out some merk-merks, make him pop out to see why they're not making quota.

1430 > Nightcap

These management types aren't much for getting their hands dirty. But take out some of their expensive merks, and I guarantee you they'll come running.

AssassinateTargetSpawned

1440 > Nightcap

Bigwig finally decided to show their face. Take 'em out!

1450 > Nightcap

There's the stinkin' son of a Virmink. Eliminate the mucker.

1460 > Nightcap

Bossman's here. You know what to do.

AssassinateComp

1470 > Nightcap

Back to the earth they go. Good on 'em. Finally found a way to help out down here.

1480 > Nightcap

All the roots and fruits ever wanted was abundance. Too bad for that mucker he never learned to share.

1490 > Nightcap

Bossman eliminated. Betcha' the Taxmen won't be feeling nearly as bold after that one.

AssassinateBonus

1500 > Nightcap

He barely saw it coming. That's a message Nef can't ignore.

1510 > Nightcap

Lightning quick you are. Mighty impressive.

1520 > Nightcap

Even the bossman had to be impressed with how quickly you got that job done.

AssassinateRakEncounterIntro

1530 > Nightcap

New pest in the garden. Mucking invasive Raknoid's trampling all the fruits and crushing the roots. Don't need to tell you what needs doing, do I?

1540 > Nightcap

We got a Raknoid. Pretending to be part of the circle when it's nothing but nuts and bolts. Stomp that faker.

1550 > Nightcap

Got a Raknoid situation that I need you to take care of, mucking thing has been causing issues all over.

AssassianteRakDrawOut

1560 > Nightcap

Raknoid skulking somewhere close. Knock some heads and it'll come running.

1570 > Nightcap

You know what'll make it poke its ugly head out? A bunch of dead corpus. Try it and see.

1580 > Nightcap

Cause a ruckus and see if you can get 'em to scuttle out here?

AssassinateRakTargetSpawned

1590 > Nightcap

Here it comes. Get stomping.

1600 > Nightcap

There's the damn pest! Send 'em to the dirt.

1610 > Nightcap

Always so predictable. Take it out.

AssassinateRakComp

1620 > Nightcap

Mucking imposter masquerading as a creature of the circle. Ain't part of nothing, and now is nothing. Sorry to raise me voice, I get worked up about the circle.

1630 > Nightcap

Gib-faced muckers think they can go around making a mockery of organic life without a lick of consequence. Thanks for proving 'em wrong.

1640 > Nightcap

That's it. If corporate were smart, they'd stop sending those damn things down here, but they ain't... so doubt that this'll be the last of 'em.

AssassinateRakBonus

1650 > Nightcap

No arachnophobia for you. You got right in there. Good job.

1660 > Nightcap

Did that thing owe you money? Could have sworn that was personal.

1670 > Nightcap

Absolutely vicious. Remind me to stay on your sunny side.

AreaDefEncounterIntro

1680 > Nightcap

Buncha Taxmen massing. Whatever it is they're planning, it ain't good. Keep em' out of the area.

1690 > Nightcap

Corporate's got merks converging nearby. Get in there and stand your ground until they stop coming.

1700 > Nightcap

Merk-merks swarming like invasive pests. Time to show 'em whose garden this is.

AreaDefWaveComp

1710 > Nightcap

More of 'em on the way. Keep swattin'.

1720 > Nightcap

Corporate just don't know when to call it quits. More riffraff inbound.

1730 > Nightcap

More zits on the way, and they don't seem pleased.

AreaDefHalfway

1740 > Nightcap

Half of 'em down. Fruits and roots are feeling better already.

1750 > Nightcap

Just crossed the fifty percent mark, mate. Squash the rest.

1760 > Nightcap

One half gone, one half to go.

AreaDefClear

1770 > Nightcap

Clear out what's left.

1780 > Nightcap

Almost there. Finish 'em off.

1790 > Nightcap

They're out of reinforcements. Clean 'em up.

AreaDefComp

1800 > Nightcap

It's hard work, tending to a garden. But I can tell ya' first hand that it's all worth it in the end.

1810 > Nightcap

Looks like you cleared the pests. Appreciate the toil.

1820 > Nightcap

All done. Don't worry, they'll do more good feedin' the substrate than they would helpin' Nef.

AreaDefBonus

1830 > Nightcap

Guts. You cleared them out without 'em getting so much as a foothold. Mucking inspiration you are, mate.

1840 > Nightcap

That's the last of the merk-merks. Poor muckers didn't stand a chance against you.

1850 > Nightcap

Long as you're around these pests won't make any progress. Let's see if you can hit the next job just as fast.

TrappedChestIntro

1860 > Nightcap

Taxmen keeping their supplies out in the open. They should be more careful. Someone might take 'em. Right?

1870 > Nightcap

Seems the taxmen left their supplies out without a lick of cover. Must be their offering for the communal shed, how nice of 'em.

1880 > Nightcap

Corpus rank and file ain't the sharpest, but keeping supplies unguarded? Teach 'em to take better care of their things.

TrapOpened

1890 > Nightcap

Should've known it was too good to be true. Taxmen incoming.

1900 > Nightcap

Guts. Counted our bolarolas before they hatched. Corporate inbound.

1910 > Nightcap

Looks like the merk-merks are on to us.

TrapComp

1920 > Nightcap

Not as easy as I would have hoped, but the supplies are ours.

1930 > Nightcap

Won't make it far in life without provisions and preparation. It would do Nef some good to remember that.

1940 > Nightcap

Merk-merks won't be happy being ransacked like that.

TrappedChestBonus

1950 > Nightcap

That was… very fast.

1960 > Nightcap

Done already. Did the merks even know you were there?

1970 > Nightcap

I'm in awe, mate. See if you can make the next job look that easy.

ReviveSprodEncounterIntro

1980 > Nightcap

Word in the garden is that a few of Nokko's Sprodlings got into Nef's fungicide. Need you to find 'em and give the jolt of life.

1990 > Nightcap

Nokko's little Sprodlings help in keepin' me garden safe but Nef's poison has been taking its toll. Find those tykes and nurse 'em back to health.

2000 > Nightcap

Ah, this one, this task's important. Nef's poison water is making the Sprodlings sick. Need you to find them and get them jumping again.

ReviveSprodFound

2010 > Nightcap

Happy? Now get back to gardening.

2020 > Nightcap

Off they go.

2030 > Nightcap

Think that one liked you.

ReviveSprodComp

2040 > Nightcap

That's all of 'em. Here's hoping they can stay safe.

2050 > Nightcap

You got all the Sprodlings hopping again. That's good to see.

2060 > Nightcap

All me Sprodlings are back where they belong. Now let's see if we can hit back at Nef.

ReviveSprodBonus

2070 > Nightcap

Couldn't even blink before you healed 'em all. Mighty impressive.

2080 > Nightcap

The Sprodlings are bouncing back to health in record time. Here's hoping they're more careful about what they eat next time.

2090 > Nightcap

You're quicker than you look, mate. Sprodlings would hate to play ya in hide and seek, that's for sure.

ColdShroom

2100 > Nightcap

Winter Spear? Don't think this is a time for sledding, do you?

2110 > Nightcap

Bundle up, Winter Spears will chill you faster than the coldest day in the Vallis.

ImpactShroom

2120 > Nightcap

An Ironwood? Might feel like you've been dropped on your head for the next bit.

2130 > Nightcap

You ate an Ironwood, looks like. Watch out! That one hits hard.

BlastShroom

2140 > Nightcap

Oh a Spring Popper? A bundled out stack of explosives got nothing on anyone that eats one of those.

2150 > Nightcap

You ate a Spring Popper? Hope you're ready for some fireworks, mate.

CorrosiveShroom

2160 > Nightcap

Guts, a Borica? Those'll dissolve you down to nothing if you're not careful.

2170 > Nightcap

A Borica? Let's hope it can't eat through that there suit of yours.

ToxinShroom

2180 > Nightcap

Chose a real nasty little fella to eat, mate. Luckily a Muck Bonnet's toxin wears out quick.

2190 > Nightcap

Muck Bonnets ain't pleasant. You're in for a rough ride until it works through yah.

GasShroom

2200 > Nightcap

The name should tell ya everything you need to know: Reeking Puffball.

2210 > Nightcap

Reeking Puffball'll make you smell worse than a Horrasque's dung.

ViralShroom

2220 > Nightcap

Violet's Bane?? You must not like these muckers.

2230 > Nightcap

A Violet's Bane? That's enough to make someone sick.

PlainShroom

2240 > Nightcap

Dull Button? Good in soup and that's about it.

2250 > Nightcap

You chose a Dull Button. They have a flavor, if you boil 'em long enough.

ElectricShroom

2260 > Nightcap

Thunder-button? Be careful around sensitive electronics for the next while.

2270 > Nightcap

Got places to be? That Thunder-button'll get you there… Quick.

SlashShroom

2280 > Nightcap

A Devil's Cap? Wicked little 'shroom, that one.

2290 > Nightcap

Devil's Cap? Combat's about to get real messy.

MagShroom

2300 > Nightcap

A Ferrofungus? Looks like it's 'shields down' for our Corpus friends.

2310 > Nightcap

Ferrofungus? Get ready to attract a lot of new friends.

TauShroom

2320 > Nightcap

Vomval Trumpet, eh? Don't believe everything you see.

2330 > Nightcap

Was that a Vomval Trumpet? We all better hold on tight, then.

HeatShroom

2340 > Nightcap

Feeling the heat? Blister Stalks are spicy enough to give me the sweats.

2350 > Nightcap

A Blister Stalk eh? That's a spicy one.

PunctShroom

2360 > Nightcap

Thorn tooth? Things might get a little prickly.

2370 > Nightcap

A Thorn tooth is the fruit you want when you're looking to make a pincushion outta someone.

RadShroom

2380 > Nightcap

Oh mate. You ate a Gamma Berry didn't ya? Oh well, little radiation never hurt no one.

2390 > Nightcap

Ah, a Gamma Berry? Mutations should be temporary, 'least I think.

VoidShroom

2400 > Nightcap

I call that a Nonono, as in, I won't go near the things. Good luck.

2410 > Nightcap

Oh. You took a Nonono? Try to stay away from those me'self.

FergoFound

2420 > Nightcap

Look at that. You found some Fergolyte. Fresh grub for the Prince.

2430 > Nightcap

Fergolyte? I got a hungry Prince back in the airlock that would feast on that.

2440 > Nightcap

Oh looks like you got a spot of Fergolyte. Feed that to the Prince.

2450 > Nightcap

Ah Fergolyte? They say the soil remembers. They say a lot of things.

2460 > Nightcap

Whatcha got there? Fergolyte. Bring that back to the airlock.

2470 > Nightcap

That's Fergolyte. I know one little fruit that won't grow in anything but.
