-
Blinded during the attack, I can't see my home anymore.
-
But the burning fires assault my nose.
-
The silence broken only by the wind passing through wreckage.
-
I can sense the monsters responsible for the devastation are still here.
-
Even without seeing it myself, I know --
-
It's all ruined, isn't it?
-
Everyone's dead but me...
-
...and you, Tenno.
-
Thank you, for saving me.
-
I just wish you'd gotten here sooner.
-
Before the Grineer.
-
Who's in charge of this heap?
-
Captain Vor of the Grineer would have words with them.
-
We've heard about what you did to the other villages! Leave, now, and we'll --
-
It doesn't have to be this way. Resistance isn't necessary.
-
Let's try once more.
-
Who is in charge here?
-
I suppose, now, it would be me.
-
Word spreads. We know of your reputation.
-
This planet doesn't need more scavengers.
-
You're the only scavengers here, Ostron, selling history off to the highest bidder.
-
What're you --
-
This planet, and everything on it, belongs to the Queens. The Orokin left something here worth far more than credits, and we're taking it.
-
Search the houses for their scrap. If you find anything older than me, bring it.
-
And if you encounter any resistance, well -- do what must be done.
-
They tore through our homes like a plague.
-
When they didn't find what they wanted...
-
they claimed we were resisting.
-
They began to execute us, one by one, destroying our homes.
-
Mitsuki!
-
What could we do against them?
-
By the time we started fighting back, it was a lost cause.
-
But then you came...
-
like an angel.
-
TENNO SKOOM!
-
Like an angel of death.
-
Send backup!
-
We need the Ghouls!
-
Pull back.
-
We'll strike again after their incubation.
-
M-mother...?
-
DIE, TENNO!
-
I really don't know what happened next.
-
Did you kill all the Grineer?
-
Did they retreat?
-
And why did you stop to save me --
-
When you could have kept fighting?
-
Why do we keep fighting?
-
A dozen villages, hundreds dead, and for what?
-
For the glory of The Queens?
-
Orders are orders, but we haven't found a single working Orokin artifact.
-
Except for that Tenno...
-
Captain?
-
Except for that Tenno, we've yet to face a single true challenge.
-
This unit has gone soft from months of raiding villages and glorified nature walks.
-
That ends tomorrow.
-
No matter how many of us fall...
-
We will level that village. We will take that Tenno.
-
Captain, please...
-
Tomorrow. Send just the Ghouls. Not us.
-
This is my failure.
-
They Smelled the doubt rotting in my heart.
-
Can't beat Tenno skoom.
-
I must be rid of it.
-
You forget yourself, brother.
-
You are GRINEER!
-
You are laborer! Soldier! Builder and destroyer! Inheritor of the stars!
-
The Tenno have lost their way. They are not like us. They are without purpose. They have doubt.
-
There is no room for doubt!
-
Not for a Grineer.
-
If it is commanded of you, for the glory of the Grineer, you will raise a banner against The Void itself.
-
For the glory of the Queens.
-
We understand better now, both of us. There can be no room for doubt.
-
We make our final attack at dawn.
-
The Ghouls will lead the charge.
-
No Tenno has ever seen them-- they will take him by surprise.
-
No matter what happens, that Tenno will not be victorious.
-
Tomorrow belongs to us.
-
For the glory of the Queens
-
I smell the rain before I hear it.
-
What does the rain sound like to you?
-
What does it feel like?
-
Can you feel at all, Tenno?
-
We all know the legends...
-
"The greatest warriors in history."
-
"Bound by honor. Masters of the Warframes."
-
"The last great relics of the Orokin Era."
-
Even now, I don't really understand...
-
What are you?
-
A clone, like The Grineer? A machine?
-
Do you have a heart?
-
Like me?
-
I don't expect you to answer. Maybe you never speak.
-
Maybe you can't.
-
There's so much I want to tell you. To ask you.
-
Tenno...
-
But the time for words has passed.
-
Strike true.
-
If only I could see what comes next...
-
...but I can hear the only thing that matters now.
-
Only one thing matters now.
-
The rain washes all the doubt away.
-
Move out.
-
Break him, but leave him alive if you can.
-
If not, I'll take the pieces.
-
This is the end for you, Tenno.
-
Fighting for this empty village, no one left to defend. All gone, just like your Orokin masters.
-
Grineer...
-
ATTACK!
-
For the glory --
-
of the Queens.
-
I hear the bullets. The blades. The death...
-
Tenno...
-
...I cannot believe it is yours.
-
I must believe that every cry of pain is the enemy's.
-
That every true strike is yours.
-
That every bullet misses you.
-
I feel no doubt Captain --
-
Hold your ground, brother. But let us not confuse doubt with wisdom.
-
I'm returning to the base camp.
-
If the Ghouls cannot take him here...
-
I will have to prepare counter-measures.
-
The battle grows quieter with every second.
-
Soon, I know, there will be one final strike --
-
-- the killing blow, and then --
-
silence.
-
I cannot see the outcome, and yet, Tenno...
-
I know you must be victorious.
-
The Lotus.
-
I see you, my Tenno.
-
"Hold on, Tenno, I'm calling for reinforcements."
-
"A fellow Tenno needs you. You must go to Earth."
-
Mag.
-
Just because we have not heard from Excalibur does not mean he is dead.
-
He could still be in that village, but wounded or unconcious, or...
-
captured.
-
"The Ostrons may have investigators of their own looking into the villages."
-
"Work with them, if you can."
-
"Save them, if you can."
-
"But do not forget why you are here --"
-
"Find Excalibur. Investigate The Grineer. And, most importantly--"
-
"Stop Captain Vor. At all costs."
-
