Like all of you, I was born poor, with but a meager derivatives portfolio and limited vesting options. I never knew my parents. But - as an orphan, poor as I said - I found great riches within the Tenets of our glorious Founder! Parvos Granum. The Corpus became my family.

310 > Eudico

It's Nef alright. Patching through.

320 > Eudico

They've fuzzed the band. Keep at it.

M1WaveTwo

20 > NefAnyo

But over the years, as my wealth blossomed, and my humility grew vast… I began to see a certain similarity. I wondered… who am I, really? After a protracted negotiation, my birth mother sold to me the secrets of my conception! She had been a…

330 > Eudico

Wait! What? Get that signal back!

M1WaveThree

30 > NefAnyo

She had been a surrogate in a very special, very secret succession program! It was an epiphany! It would seem that I am one of the sons of our late, great Founder! And… more importantly… his heir. Now, I have only to prove it. That is where all of you come in.

340 > Eudico

The brass on this mucker! I have to protect my people from this trust-fund lunatic. Do your thing. I'll check in with my whisper network, let you know what they're saying. Talk soon. The brass!

Another engineering blunder! We need confirmation. Reset and get our next volunteer into position!

390 > Eudico

It's… a… right. It's a great, big… hand.

400 > Eudico

--What was that?

760 > TheBusiness

Granum Tribute. Story is Parvos was missing his left hand. See if you can--

770 > TheBusiness

I think it was a Void-temporal shift. I'm not entirely sure, I've never seen one before. Small, though. About as big as a… person? Patch me into the system.

M2ObjOneStart

50 > NefAnyo

You and your bleeding heart Tenno thugs. I really don't have time for this. My Robotics, on the other hand, do. Kill-crews, take care of this, I have history to make!

410 > VoxSolaris

Nef Anyo. You are found. Remember the first days of Fortuna. Your failure. Our victory. Without the Solaris your… 'aspirations'…  are nothing. Return our Solaris brothers and sisters. Or to nothing, so I swear, you will return.

Ready now. Protean trace spiking. It's time! Send in the next volunteer!

They're gearing up for something.

By Profit, by Void! It's real! It's real!

450 > Eudico

What kind of signal?

810 > TheBusiness

I don't know yet. Outworlder, don't let them cut the signal before I can decode it!

M2Fortuna

80 > NefAnyo

To the Corpus Board and my many, many, supporters across the Origin System: Everyone is asking: when will I, Nef Anyo, end this unprofitable, squabbling Deadlock? People are saying "Nef Anyo's perfect for the big seat. A visionary, an exemplar, a protege of the great Founder himself, Parvos Granum!" Friends, our time is at hand.

480 > Eudico

How many kids are going to grow up in the vents because of this? How many parents lost, because I couldn't do my job.

500 > Eudico

If Nef intends to visit that 'pocket' for his proof, he won't risk himself… not at first. Sparky, you can beat him to it. Biz has figured out how to activate Nef's Granum Tributes. You won't believe this.

510 > Eudico

Nef as the Corpus figurehead, with a united board behind him, will be hell for us and workers everywhere. See if you can get across first. Tax whatever proof he's hoping to collect, muck up his plan and find our people.

840 > TheBusiness

Eudi. There's a ventkid, a very long time ago, who would have hero-worshipped the woman she became. You're enough.

850 > TheBusiness

These tributes… are essentially… coin. operated. You'll need a 'Granum Crown'... you'll have to search the ship.

M3MoveSearch

90 > NefAnyo

Crews. The tomb is verified intact! Dispatch the treasurer with my offering. It's time I paid Tribute myself.

530 > Eudico

If you make it across, keep an eye out for our people. They may have survived. I've told more than enough kids their parents aren't coming home.

540 > Eudico

Alright, here's our chance. Time to tax the taxman!

M3ObjOne

100 > NefAnyo

If only Parvos could have lived to see this day! Imagine his face, beaming with pride, as he bestowed upon me, his son, that sacred Golden Hand! My surgeons have... assured me the procedure will be quick and painless? A pound of old flesh for a glorious new legacy!

550 > Eudico

I'd pay top credits to crap in Nef's coffin. Double if he was still alive.

M3Treasurer

110 > NefAnyo

One scan of Parvos Granum and my lineage shall be proven! None shall deny me-- what? Tenno? Again!? Not today! As Parvos' heir, it is my offering to make! I am coming, Father! It is I who shall pay Tribute! Your Nef is almost home!

M3ObjTwo

120 > NefAnyo

They must not reach him before we do! Is that understood?!?

560 > Eudico

'Him'? As if the body would still be intact? Something's off. Get to the Tribute… expect some friction.

M3VoidEnter

140 > NefAnyo

You thought to stop me, Tenno? This is my ordained fate. It is… by the Void.

880 > TheBusiness

Outworlder, Nef has eyes in here. How escapes me. Our channel's masked. He doesn't know we're here.

1060 > Parvos

It has been so long since these old eyes beheld another living thing, here, in this sanctuary.

1070 > Parvos

I… am Parvos Granum. Thank you for finding me.

M3VoidMove

150 > NefAnyo

By the void. You. are. Alive. My faith never wavered.

1080 > Parvos

I live. Treachery seethed within the heart of the faith I had built. When the Board's assassins overloaded my transport's Void drive, Protea… my beautiful Protea… and her gift for manipulating time... preserved me.

1090 > Parvos

But at the cost of all that she was. Now she is nothing more than a Specter of her former self. My beautiful Protea.

1100 > Parvos

That is why you have been invited here.

M3VoidAlarm

170 > NefAnyo

Yes!

180 > NefAnyo

Father. Permit me to show you all I have built in your name. Do Nef Anyo that honor.

570 > Eudico

'Invited'? Wait. If Nef is here because he allowed it…

1110 > Parvos

Rot took root in the Corpus. My first work was done. With my 'murder' those unworthy of my legacy revealed their true natures, true tastes. Today... the Corpus are the very antithesis of my creed. But I see those rare few who remain true, despite a world of distortion and temptation. They are the harvest of my first crop. The strongest, the most true.

1120 > Parvos

The rest… chaff.

M3VoidSpecterAttack

200 > NefAnyo

No, that must be a different son.

580 > Eudico

Biz has a handle on the time jump but we've got bigger problems than Nef now. Get out of there!

M3VoidTimeJump

210 > NefAnyo

No! Father! FATHERRR!!! Daddy? W-what? Breaches! BREACHES! The Protean field array is… oh no. All crews to Tributes! We are… we are being... in-va-ded!

890 > TheBusiness

We've got a lock on you, Outworlder. Good luck… What the hell? Outworlder, I'm pulling sensory feeds from a trip you haven't taken yet. And hearing myself say things I've never said in a place I've never seen. Parvos…? Eudi you should see this. What if Nef has similar logs?

M3VoidExtract

220 > NefAnyo

Not good enough, am I? Inadequate, am I? You've been 'watching' me, have you? Well. Watch as I show you how we do things these days! Crews! Repel those Specters! We have bigger fish to fry.

230 > NefAnyo

Errant Specters in Section 8! Crews?! Crews… respond!?

M3Orbiter

240 > NefAnyo

Vox. Solaris. - our 'interests'... have come to align. Now… This 'situation' is no one's 'fault' and I'm not one to point fingers, but my fleet and your workers are facing the same danger… Convince your Tenno servant to reenter Granum's domain, and dis-able that Protea Specter. I have just the thing they'll need but there is some assembly required. You want to rescue those comrades trapped in there and I want to keep the past where it belongs. Dead and buried. Deal?

590 > Eudico

Nef's a bloviating narcissist with the morals of a haunted chainsaw but at least that makes him predictable. Parvos? That mucker is something else. I don't trust Nef, but if any of our own are still alive in there… we have to try. Biz will lead the build on this… 'Xoris' gizmo.

M5Start

250 > NefAnyo

You're too late! The Tributes are jammed open and the old man's Errant Specters have control of my ship. They're spreading through the fleet. I have no choice. If I can't have my fleet no-one can!

M5PurgErrantAttack

260 > NefAnyo

I can't do that. But don't worry. I'm already at a very comfortable safe distance.

980 > TheBusiness

Here they come! Take out the Errants, then use the Xoris to trap the Specter Particles that escape! You'll have to time it just right.

M5ReturnShip

270 > NefAnyo

You're too late! The old man's Errant Specters have-- huh? The Protean trace is… gone!? Where is he? Where is my father?

1050 > TheBusiness

That temporal effect again! And… yes. There are your sensory feeds, just like last time. So, the Xoris worked - in a battle that never happened. Or did it. I have a headache.

ProteaQuestStart

280 > VoxSolaris

Solaris. Be you sumper, rail agent, crud diver, or pit boss: hear this. Your comrades, your friends, your family - good people with clear debts - are being taken. Vanished. Nef Anyo, in his hubris, is writing checks and cashing them with Solaris lives. There is upset in the halls of Corpus power. The foundations of their kleptocracy tremble. To Nef, we say this: you are seen. To the Solaris: make yourselves heard. To those who have aided us in the past: join us now. You are needed.

M1Start

290 > Eudico

Sparky! Yes. Biz and I may be in over our heads on this one...

300 > Eudico

Listen up: this Deadlock spat is costing Solaris lives. The Corpus founder, some long-dead cove named Parvos Granum, carries a lot of messianic clout. Well… Nef's claiming the old man's got an heir. If true, that heir can, by rights, claim total control of the Board. Board schisms and infighting might be the main reason SU's survived this long. If the Board unifies under one person… one 'found' by Nef…? Our people will never see daylight. I need you on this. You in?

M1Orbiter

350 > Eudico

Got dirt that isn't safe to shovel out in the open. You know where to meet.

M1Fortuna

360 > Eudico

So. Nef's makin' a succession play. Sumper thinks he can prove he's a sprog of noble descent. No idea how; Parvos was assassinated before any of us were an itch. Biz?

370 > Eudico

Granum. The original taxman. Killed when someone - a Board member most likely - sabotaged the Void drive of his personal transport. Nef wants gene-proof, but there's nothing left to scan.

380 > Eudico

Our people are vanishing because of this. That's true. I know it. I don't care if Parvos Granum is dead, alive, or making change tap-dancing in a Grineer officer's mess. Sparky: you find what Nef's looking for... you'll find out what happened to our people. Get on it.

730 > TheBusiness

Look familiar, Outworlder? Warframe, yes, but one-of-a-kind. Protea. Legend says she was built specifically for and assigned to one Parvos Granum. Yes. Part of a deal Granum cut with the Orokin themselves. Granum… was no amateur. He had real power. Our ear inside says Nef's techs have found a lead on Protea's whereabouts. 'Protean traces' they're calling them.

740 > TheBusiness

And yet, so they believe, they found Granum's Warframe bodyguard - who was with Granum when that Void drive went critical. So who is to say what's true?

M2ObjTwo

430 > Eudico

No! Biz, what is that thing?

790 > TheBusiness

I'm not… Outworlder, hold position, I'm getting something.

M2ObjTwoStart

He'll pay for this. "Volunteers". He's killing our people for some kind of... weapons test.

To cross over you'll need to find a Granum Crown first. Search the area.

M4Orbiter

600 > Eudico

Thanks for the fast work, Biz. Sparky, listen up: Biz's findings indicate Parvos might be close to translating himself from that reality into our own. We're not exactly sure how but we're getting some odd readings. You've got to build the Xoris before Parvos gets free.

Nef's given us a cipher for an old Granum file. "Phantasmic Scintilla and Motive Forces." We'll need more specifics to build whatever this tool is.

Hmm, looks like a partial find. Let's see if Anyo's cipher works as promised.

1190 > Parvos

Some doors ought to remain closed? That's not in my world view. Fire, Fusion, Void. Progress always comes entangled with risk, with violence. With the precious sample obtained, development is accelerating. The Entrati have kept their secrets long enough.

M4VaultFinal

920 > TheBusiness

Parvos Granum originated Specter Particle Theory? Guts. This old coot is a whole other order of intelligence, and that's bad for us.  Get back to your ship. I need to figure out this Xoris thing.

1210 > Parvos

The palace birds think they control us. They hit our research site with a Warframe assault team. Of course they did. I baited them to do it. The whole site lit up. Eighty mega-therm bloom. The whole lab, vaporized, those Warframes with it. Fire. Fusion. Void.

M4OrbiterGlaiveDone

Outworlder, you'll need the Xoris Glaive for this.

M5PurgDeploy

970 > TheBusiness

There! Our rig jockeys! They're trapped in some kind of energy enclosure. You'll need to charge the Xoris to break it open.

Risk comes from not knowing what you are doing. There's no stopping this without stopping Protea. A bit like eating your own, no?

M5PurgChargeDisc

Full charge! Now - target the enclosure trapping our jockeys. You'll need to trigger your Xoris to discharge near them.
