Let's talk about THAT moment of the Operation (SPOILERS)

[Jukantos]

So, as a friend of mine and i have already validated, there are multiple variations of the message you receive during the Endurance part of the Operation, once you kill 10 Orphix's.

Last warning, if you haven't gotten to that point yet, SPOILERS ABOUND.

I thought i'd set up a thread to compile the various messages and see if they actually contain more lore than i myself managed to gather - since a repeat run did NOT in fact lead to another message i presume it's a one time per account occurrence.

Zitat

"The Steel Vipers sleep now. I showed them how. I... had my reasons."

Since my friend already confirmed mid-mission that he had indeed gotten another message, it seems there are fragments to collect, soooo let's get collecting! :)

It seems Natah is in fact alive despite being yeeted at the sentient ship's core by her brother, and she's having second thoughts or at least keeping communications open. Maybe the path to #SaveLotus isn't closed after all!

I just got one myself 30s ago, that really surprised me to see her again

[Jarriaga]

I think the trigger is 20 Orphix. Got none of those messages until I reached 20.

I also think that unless these messages are coded to only show-up for players who have progress through The Sacrifice/Ropalolyst then this is a huge spoiler ahead of events.

I don't know what you're all talking about... (but yes it's protected based on players quest progress)... nothing to see here... 

[VoidArkhangel]

"Adapt the next series(?). Moving from quadrant E-4. We can not be stopped."

"Deploy M-0 squad to attack the vectors...." Can't remember this one but felt like she was indeed trying to kill us.

[DrivaMain]

I finished all quest and didn't get a message. How do you trigger this?

[vanaukas]

I got a message when I did my 2 or 4 orphix, so I doubt is based on that...

[kyori]

That message is randomly triggered. I saw it at different numbers of Orphix...

.. and who is that fellow who doesn't know how to put spoiler and need Rebecca to remind?

I got one when my fourth Orphix in a run spawned (10th overall). Since it arrived immediately after I killed the previous one I don't know if the trigger was from Spawning or destroying.

I see. Quite confusing then as we have multiple people sharing when it happened for them, and none align.

Will have to agree with  Kyori.

[TARINunit9]

"Do not let their Old War relics interfere"

[DrivaMain]

I got one. It seems to random.

Considering you killed your 10th and mine popped up on the 10th as well that seems to align - maybe it is a chance on the 10th?

I wonder if it CAN happen more than once and/or what the conditions are...

[Drasiel]

Here's one

Spoiler

 

[Jukantos]

That's weird. Am i the only one who got a sentimental or even friendly sounding message? This just sounds like she's a war drone. I wonder if your operator alignment (light/dark) will actually play into this / actually DOES play into this.

Could be a rando message after certain number of Orphix kills. Honestly, they start tanking in the late teens, and the mechs don't hit as hard as you want.

Agreed, my main problem tho is survivability. My Mausolon still takes a good third out of the 20th-ish big one with the secondary fire (if the 60% multishot procs) but the incoming damage just gets really difficult to handle. So many sentients with so much health around, it's rough. And ironically the absolute stand-outs are the classic Battalysts with their stupid spinny lasers - they chunk me harder than anything else in the room and can take literally a couple hundred rounds to the face before going down.

IMO, the necramechs should imbue Void damage + Sentient damage resistance stripping in all the weapons they fire. That's what would make the mechs start "being worth it", esp. in the case for actual Eidolon hunting and not messing around.

[LoopStricken]

I probably killed about eighty Orphixes earlier and had no messages whatsoever. I feel left out. Even Wally doesn't visit me anymore.

Kiddo can reset resistances if they're adapting to damage. Father even reminds us at the start if the mission with that line about us using our "void beam magic" or some such if things get rough. I forget the precise wording.

[Aadi880]

Also got one. She comes in and says "I am the Queen of Nothing..."

I hope not.

[Loza03]

Judging by the pale white eyes and military computer speak, what Erra did to her probably intensified the brainwashing that they had already been subjecting her to.

 

And if you still think that Lotus defected of her own free will I remind you: Hunhow said the other Sentients would attempt to forcibly reclaim her, Ballas's story in Chimera doesn't add up with Lotus's, that story doesn't stand up to scrutiny anyway (mainly - Orokin brainwashed her but forgot to remove the bit that said 'lead the Tenno to annihilate the Orokin?'), Erra being named after a god of lies and Erra, upon having his story questioned, physically abused Lotus.

[Loza03]

Oh, also - in what is typical for me, I got my first after seeing this thread and getting spoiled on it.

 

>:(

[Myscho]

Something like "Quadrant Y-2..." after 30 Orphixes
