Receiving an all-call on our Syndicate frequency. It's a Red Veil encode but… it seems truncated. I will play back what I have...

Speak to us. We're listening. What is your name?

Mmm. R-r-r-ellllll.

Good, you remember. We want to help you, Rell. Tell us where you are.

Mmm. Can't. He's listening.

Who? Rell, who is listening?

90 > Ordis

Sorry Operator. The message appears haunted - halted. It originated from a Steel Meridian ship near Earth. Will you investigate? I hope not.

RescuePalladino

100 > Lotus

Emergency power. Not detecting any crew. I don't like this. Search the area.

110 > Lotus

Blades. Too refined for a Grineer Kill Squad. Is there anything else?

120 > Lotus

Red Veil. Could they have done this? The Veil have been Meridian allies for years. Search for survivors.

130 > Lotus

Tenno? I lost you for a second. What did you see?

140 > Palladino

Holy child of Zariman, please help me. I serve the Veil but the flock has been driven mad. I humbly beg for the protection of you and your vessel.

150 > Lotus

I'm marking the area. Stay alert. It may be an ambush.

160 > Palladino

Great, blind, Queen… help me reach the safety of Iron Wake. Our sacred muse has abandoned the temple, leaving our people in chaos.

170 > Lotus

Tenno, if the Red Veil is in chaos we must intervene. Get Palladino to Iron Wake.

180 > Palladino

Oh holy child, I am grateful for- What is it Rook? Are they back?!

190 > Rell

Rap. Tap. Tap.

191 > Lotus

You were supposed to protect her. This mission is a failure.

200 > Palladino

Brothers of blood, sisters of fire, resist the muse!

210 > Palladino

Blessed star child, I owe you my life. Will you meet me at Iron Wake? Only you can right this wrong.

OrbiterAfterRescue

220 > Ordis

Steel Meridian has received Palladino. You've been granted access to enter their base, Operator.

IronWake

230 > Lotus

Iron Wake. Steel Meridian has built an impressive base of operations right under the nose of the Grineer authority. The Veil's Speaker will be here, under guard. Find her.

240 > Palladino

Leave your vessel at the door, sacred child. Come.

250 > Palladino

Hush, Rook, this is our sacred guest! I am Palladino. Holy speaker of the Veil, like my mother, and hers before… We speak to the other side, to him. Without his focus, I pray… I pray he answers.

260 > Palladino

Righteous Rell - of harrowed stars - of hallowed chains. Speak. For an age you've guarded the divide between Dust and Void. Speak. From within your everlasting sacred vessel, you've held the lidless eye. Speak!

270 > Palladino

I cannot reach holy Rell from here. I will need his sacred focus: a relic stolen from the temple. I beg of you to find it and return it here. Only then, will he speak to us. Only then will we truly understand.

280 > Lotus

Veil rituals will incite fanaticism, but don't be drawn in. I'm not convinced this 'Rell' even exists. I fear we'll have to play Palladino's game to find out. Ordis has been tracking Red Veil disturbances… that's the best place to start.

OrbiterAfterSeance

290 > Ordis

Operator! A Red Veil Seance! How… delightful? I have marked a possible Red Veil disturbance but… perhaps you would prefer to- brew some leaves and… Sorry. Navigation is bleeding, Operator.

300 > Ordis

Uhh... Waiting. Navigation is waiting. Oh, my.

FirstDisturbance

310 > Palladino

Find Rell's object-of-focus, child. You are close to this sacred relic, I am certain.

320 > Palladino

These messages, they express Rell's suffering. He's lashing out. I should have seen the cracks forming…

330 > Lotus

I don't understand. How would Rell know about the dream?

340 > Palladino

Great Sentient Queen, forgive me, but what you are, what you've made of yourself… is merely drawn from the dreams of these divine children. You are not she, you are not… Margulis.

350 > Lotus

What are you saying? That Rell is a Tenno? Impossible. All Tenno are known to me. I protect them, as she did.

360 > Palladino

Oh, but not Rell. Margulis cast him out, for he was different. Our foremothers took him in and studied his teachings. We became the Veil. The shroud of his blessed existence.

370 > Lotus

Cast out... I don't believe you-

380 > Rell

Rap. Tap. Tap. The man in the wall.

390 > Palladino

The man in the wall! That is what he called it. Hush… try to follow his voice!

400 > Rell

Mmm. Mmm.

410 > Palladino

The Donda! His mother gave him this. Holy Rell was not like other children. Sound, color, touch… it overwhelmed him. The Donda's hum let him focus.

420 > Rell

Mmmmm - No! MINE!

430 > Rell

Rap. Tap. Tap. Rap. Tap. Tap.

440 > Palladino

Rell! What evil is this!? Sacred child, forgive me. I should have known the weight of the Void would one day crush the light from you.

450 > Palladino

Rell has become the very thing he warned us of. You cannot kill this, Tenno. Run! You can only run!

OrbiterAfterFirstDisturbance

460 > Ordis

Operator, what was that… thing? Lotus, can you explain this? Lotus?!

470 > Lotus

Transference energy, fractured. It was so… cold, indifferent, inhuman. If Rell was Tenno what did he become without Margulis?

IronWakeAfterFirstDisturbance

480 > Palladino

I have served Rell my whole life. Studying Rell's teachings of the Void, the dire consequence of travelling by and through it. Now I see that it is true: he alone, in his harrowing sacrifice, has guarded us. What a price he has paid.

490 > Palladino

Righteous Rell - outcast of sacred Void - hear my voice. Speak. You have been driven from the vessel by your suffering. You have swallowed the poison stars so we would not… Holy Rell, speak! The Tenno who rejected you have come to your aid!

500 > Palladino

He's here… The Donda, it's working, giving him humanity. We are listening Rell… Speak!

510 > Rell

Mmm… shy?

520 > Kay

No, try again.

521 > Kay

This one?

540 > Rell

Mmm… angry?

550 > Rell

Mmm… confused?

560 > Kay

Very good.

561 > Kay

And this one?

570 > Kay

No. Try again.

590 > Rell

Mmm… surprised.

600 > Rell

Mmm… sleepy.

610 > Kay

Good Rell!

611 > Kay

And how about this one?

620 > Kay

Close...

630 > Rell

Momma.

640 > Kay

Yes, Rell-

650 > Rell

Momma!

660 > Kay

Go ahead, Rell.

670 > Rell

We're in a ship.

680 > Kay

Yes?

690 > Rell

Impossible speed, beyond the Brankle Gap constant.

700 > Kay

Uh, I think so... you're better with that stuff. But it's amazing, isn't it?-

710 > Rell

So why don't they fix me?

720 > Kay

Rell. You know why.

730 > Rell

Mmm.

740 > Kay

Rell. Why?

750 > Rell

Mmm. Because I'm not broken.

760 > Kay

That's right. Different, so I love you even more.

770 > Rell

Happy.

780 > Kay

Yes Rell! You make me so happy.

790 > Palladino

This memory - his humanity still remains, buried in these emotions he so often failed to grasp. Could they be the key to saving him from this?

800 > Lotus

Tenno - I have a theory. Return to your Orbiter and I'll explain.

OrbiterBeforeSecondDisturbance

810 > Lotus

These disturbances, they are Transference energy, split apart from a single mind. If we could capture them, send them back…

820 > Ordis

Operator - Simaris may have a tool for this task. I wonder if his Kinetic Siphons could be repurposed to- bust… capture these manifestations?

FirstSiphon

830 > Palladino

Holy Rell, let us bring you the peace you have earned… Guide this Tenno so you can return to the Harrowing vessel… so that you might rest.

840 > Lotus

Rell's warnings… those dire consequences… he was talking about Void exposure, wasn't he? The effect it has on human minds is well understood…

850 > Palladino

But it's not. This isn't some kind of deep pressure bends as Margulis suspected. Rell saw what it was, truly. An entity, indifferent. Old as stars.

860 > Rell

Mmm. My fault. Touching is too much noise. It makes me… makes me… angry.

870 > Palladino

There! An emotion, manifest from the game Rell played as a child!

880 > Lotus

See if you can stabilize it with a Kinetic Siphon.

890 > Lotus

Tenno, you need to capture it!

891 > Lotus

It's too strong for the Siphon, try and weaken it.

892 > Lotus

The manifestation is fighting the Siphon. See if you can damage it.

893 > Lotus

You've run out of Kinetic Siphons. I'm sorry, there's nothing more you can do here.

900 > Rell

Rap. Tap. Tap. I don't want to go back!

910 > Lotus

I'm detecting other manifestations. Defend yourself and try to trap them.

920 > Rell

He's listening. He knows what you're doing. It makes him stronger.

930 > Lotus

Good. You've captured the manifestations here. Now get out before Rell's disturbance catches up with you.

OrbiterAfterFirstSiphon

940 > Ordis

Operator, there is no evidence of any… thing… in the Void. By my calculations, Rell has lost control of his Transference. If we can gather these emotions I hope he will be himself again.

950 > Ordis

You will need Kinetic Siphons to trap Rell's emotions. Simaris will have some for sale in the Relay.

SecondSiphon

960 > Palladino

I don't know if you can make Rell whole again, but whatever you're doing, this disturbance is growing stronger, resisting you. Don't let it stop you. Bring Rell home, to the temple.

970 > Lotus

Is that where Rell is? Has the Veil preserved him in cryosleep as the other Tenno were on Lua?

980 > Palladino

No. We didn't have that option.

990 > Rell

He's listening but I'm so… Help me.

1000 > Lotus

Rell… it's just you, alone and trapped in a Transference loop. Don't give into these delusions of Void exposure. There is no man in the wall.

1010 > Rell

Don't say that!

1020 > Lotus

They are here - the Transference pieces. Track down these manifestations and capture them.

1030 > Rell

Why are you helping me? You hated me.

1040 > Lotus

Alright, no more to be found here. Get to extraction.

ThirdSiphon

1090 > Lotus

How could Rell have lived this long? Without the long dream?

1100 > Palladino

He didn't. He knew his mortality would undo his purpose, so he gave up his humanity, forever. He committed his soul to the undying vessel-

1110 > Lotus

His Warframe.

1120 > Palladino

Yes. He commanded we chain it within the depths of the sacred temple. An eternal vigil against the Indifference.

1130 > Lotus

And you believed him. You helped him do it.

1140 > Palladino

Yes. After everything you've seen, wouldn't you?

1150 > Lotus

There, Tenno! Trap it!

1160 > Lotus

Another, don't let it escape!

1170 > Palladino

Blessed Tenno, Rell has returned to his sacred vessel. I will join him there at once. Please, come, for I fear… I haven't got the strength to do what must be done next…

OrbiterAfterThirdSiphon

1180 > Lotus

If Rell's been caught in a Transference loop for this long… the psychological effects could have been catastrophic. This 'man in the wall', these delusions, symptoms of the Void exposure all Tenno experienced. I hope that Palladino can find peace for Rell so this never happens again.

VeilTemple

1190 > Palladino

Our temple. Our home. His tomb. Come. Meet our guiding light.

1200 > Palladino

This is why you're here, Tenno. It is time for holy Rell to rest. But I cannot bring myself to do it… to let him go. He's kept us, all of us, safe for so long and it's time for you to carry on. Release him, Tenno. Destroy the chains that bind the Harrowing vessel. He's earned his rest.

1210 > Palladino

You may enter here, but only as your true, sacred form.

1220 > Palladino

Holy Rell. You have sacrificed enough. Pass on your burden and rest. Tenno. Destroy the chains… only your sacred power will damage them.

1230 > Palladino

Tenno- something's wrong. That's not Rell, that's--

1240 > Rell

Let's have a little quiet. It's my turn to ask the questions.

1250 > Kay

Well, love, I told you. You can't pet her that hard, be gentle or she'll bite. Are you okay, Rell?

1260 > Rell

I won't let you take me… from me.

1280 > Palladino

What have you done to Rell?

1290 > Palladino

Tenno! You need to save him from this… Destroy the chains-

1300 > Kay

How dare you laugh at him! You should be ashamed of yourselves! Don't look away. Look at him. He's not invisible!

1310 > Rell

Rap. Tap. Tap. You'll let me in, little piggy.

1320 > Kay

Momma's… not… herself, Rell. I don't think… I think you should wait with the other kids, until they fix the ship. I love you but… you have to go! Go!

1330 > Rell

But the in-kids don't care about the invisible outs. If you were alone in that drift… you'd need a friend… even like me.

1340 > Palladino

By sacred shadow and righteous blood - Blessed Rell! Your aged Vessel is dust and your chains are broken. Be free!

1350 > Rell

Mmm. But the man in the wall. Who will… ?

1360 > Palladino

They will have to. All of them. They owe you this. We all do.

1370 > Rell

Mmm. Yea. I feel…

1380 > Kay

Go on Rell, which one?

1390 > Rell

This one, Momma. I feel… tired.

1400 > Kay

Good Rell! You're learning! Well? Why don't you have a little rest, then?

1410 > Rell

Okay… Okay Momma.

1420 > Palladino

With Rell at peace, we will rebuild in his honor. We will do what we have always done: take the outcasts, the ones that don't fit in, and prepare them. Thank you, to you and your great Queen for setting Rell to rest. Take this offering, it's the thing of greatest value I can give you.

Bored: Waiting too much. There is nothing fun to look at.

Embarrassed: Talking and everyone looks at you.

Excited: All the spider eggs are starting to hatch!

Happy: Momma has a stretchy smile.

Sad: Why did the babies eat the mother?

Shy: Meeting someone new and can't say hello.

1570 > Rell

Scared: You look around and Momma's not there.

Tired: You run and run until you can't anymore.
