ORPHIX VENOM: Dust off those Necramechs

Hey,

Bad news, bad news. The Orphix are back, and somehow they managed to figure out how to shut you down.

Gonna need you in the saddle on a Necramech, either your own or one of mine. Get out there and drive 'em back - while we still have that as an option.

Father

Cutscene

• Father: "Back in the Old War, Orphix Sentients would hit us with pulses. Shut down anything more sophisciated than a lump hammer. Well, the Orphix are back. Only this time, someone's taught them how to override your Warframes. If they spread to cover the whole System, you're all shiny hat stands. The Orokin claimed Necramechs weren't smart enough to face an enemy that could learn, and retire them early. But my boneheads shrug off Sentient pulses like the morning dew. So I reckon between your frames and my old dusted-off war rigs, we might just have a hope in hell. Come see me on Deimos."  (download, history)

In the Necralisk

• Father: "Message reached you, huh? Good. Listen, a Necramech is not bright. They're not like Sentients. They can't learn squat. Sentients adapt to their attacks pretty quick. But hose a Sentient down with that Tenno hoodoo beam of yours, and all that adaptive resistance just burns clean off. Might want to remember that."  (download, history)

Event Offerings

• Father: "Going up against Orphix, you'll likely come away with your little hands full of Phasic Cells. Now, I can use those - probably the only person in the System who can! - so we can trade. I've been keeping some special stuff in reserve."  (download, history)

Idle

• Father: "There were four of us. Barroc, Kailen, Mutaru, and me, patching ruptures on the a rust bucket of a Railjack off the Delta Proxima. I remember our first sight of a Sentient Murex... Eh, maybe some other time."  (download, history)
• Father: "One day you're a Railjack gunner, riding high and proud. The next you're a broken man on a Xenorhast bier, telling war stories to Tenno who politely pretend to listen."  (download, history)
• Father: "I'm not sure how long I can keep a lid on the mech project. She hasn't said anything, but I'm sure she suspects."  (download, history)
• Father: "You tried that Bonewidow yet? One of the most fearsome tools I've ever constructed. Cold, cutting, ruthlessly efficient. Based her on my wife."  (download, history)
• Father: "Ballas, huh? Who would have known. Who... would... have... known."  (download, history)
• Father: "I think my wife's clinging on to the idea we'll all just jump into new bodies one day. Would be nice. She sure made a mess of mine."  (download, history)

Exiting After Purchasing

• Father: "Hope you're happy with it."  (download, history)
• Father: "Whatever you need to keep those mechs up and running."  (download, history)
• Father: "Hope it makes up for the trouble you took."  (download, history)

• Father: "Gloves are off now, kids. Beat them back as best you can. If they get the upper hand, get the hell out."  (download, history)

If No Orphix Recently Destroyed

• Father: "An Orphix is like any other kind of personal hygiene problem. It will get worse if you ignore it. As I have been repeatedly reminded..."  (download, history)

Progressing Through Event

ORPHIX VENOM: Were we right, or were we right?

Well, kid, that's what we call a thoroughly field-tested theory. And you performed great. The Necramech and Warframe combination is exactly what the Sentients did not expect.

Felt I ought to mark the occasion with something. Sorry, I don't have more to offer just yet. You're cleared to take on higher-order Sentients, by the way. I'd say you're ready. But it's your call.

ORPHIX VENOM: Giving away the family treasures now (Don't tell Grandmother)

You know, I remember when the Tombjockey took its first faltering steps into the Lux-Severin Hotzone. Experimental Necramech. Low CoG, squat little guy, built for endurance.

Didn't make it seven paces before some wide-winged hell-clown I'd never seen before ripped it apart like a Kubrow going at a raggedy-kai.

Tell you the truth, I was scared the same would happen to you out there. Glad you proved me wrong.

Little keepsake enclosed. And if you want to turn your guns on the Sentient heavy hitters, I will not stand in your way.

ORPHIX VENOM: Wish I could be there to see you open this

Gotta say I'm feeling pretty redundant down here, dispensing two-credit advice and shelved mechs while you've been... well, doing what I used to do. Heavy lifting. Takin' it to them. So I got to thinking: what do I have that you could actually use?

I'm sending you this. Crater some goob and think of me.

Clan Trophy

ORPHIX VENOM: Your very own shiny hat stand

Hey, kids.

I don't have a proud father speech lined up for you. Heck, my own kids never got one. But that doesn't mean I'm not proud. [CLANNAME] faced down the same nightmares that made Orokin vets turn tail and run. Glad I could be a part of that.

I put this statue together in the workshop for you. Hope it'll remind you of your own war stories.
