I was reminded on a lemmy post today of Little Duck’s Disruption dialogue where she says
“Looks like Alad was so keen to make the sale, he didn’t close every back door. Greed makes a person sloppy, hotshot, remember that. Enjoy the boost.”
That got me thinking and I was curious what other Tenno’s favorite mission dialogues are. Could be theme for a whole mission or one line. Fittingly I think my favorite is probably Little Duck in disruption, though Conjunction Survival gets an honorable mention with
"The Grineer and Corpus came here in search of treasure but only found oblivion. They are trespassers here. You are not.
And of course who can forget the terror of Mott itself Corrupted Vorr’s speech haha
Unironically, Natah’s reflection in Ropalolyst. One line in particular is why I picked Natah over the other options:
“Our history is smoke. Blurred by dreams, guided by ghosts. A Voice, a Void, lurks inside you, its purpose not yet shown. But what am I?”
“My father was a farmer. My mother, a carpenter. Given light by the Golden Lords to build for them… a better world. But my family’s journey was long. Time began to change their light. Creativity. Pride. A will to live.”
“So the Golden wrath came. And after, I was born. A mimic, a spy. Conceived to burrow into nests and swallow the pitch-eggs of their war machine. The Tenno. But when I saw your tender faces, I took mercy. Or so we were told.”
“But in truth, we were both imprisoned in Lua’s belly. My light remade by the creators. I became a memory, a ghost. Reprogrammed to destroy my family, my people, my history.”
“But now, I am saved. By family. Together, we will overcome the flaws of our light, the gods of our creation… merging with them, like steel… bearing Amalgams with the weakness of neither.”
“Reprogrammed to destroy my family, my people, my history.” hits hard, it’s very raw and real. I think it’s tied with Jade’s memories by Teshin for the most viscerally disgusting thing the Orokin are ever depicted doing.
You’re so right, its kind of crazy how much DE Rebecca has grown and improved as a voice actress. She wasn’t bad per se to start but her deliveries in Ropalolyst and the New War have gotten so good
Otak during bounties: “Oh! Oh! Look! It’s a Hive! NUKE IT!”
Otak is such a joy, he grew on me so fast
I gratitude you
Plague Star isn’t a regular mission but I will never get over how Vay Hek just can’t shut up about his GLISTENING MAGNIFICENCE.
Vay Hek has some really great missions. We’re all breathing HIS AIR
Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. Tenno use the keys, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Void. I was cut in half, destroyed, but through it’s Janus Key, the Void called to me. It brought me here and here I was reborn. We cannot blame these creatures, they are being led by a false prophet, an impostor who knows not the secrets of the Void. Behold the Tenno, come to scavenge and desecrate this sacred realm. My brothers, did I not tell of this day? Did I not prophesize this moment? Now, I will stop them. Now I am changed, reborn through the energy of the Janus Key. Forever bound to the Void. Let it be known, if the Tenno want true salvation, they will lay down their arms, and wait for the baptism of my Janus key. It is time. I will teach these trespassers the redemptive power of my Janus key. They will learn it’s simple truth. The Tenno are lost, and they will resist. But I, Vor, will cleanse this place of their impurity.
I love that they have never removed this speech, but instead made it so when you kill him in Duviri it interrupts him midsentence
