The Ark;

 

" You have proven yourself through time and test of mettle but the enemies you have fought thus far have only made true your resolve and only partially tested your skills as a warrior. Now, the time has come for your to truly be tested, to see if you are worthy of upholding our way. Come Tenno, now it is time for you to enter "The Ark"."

 

 

Lore;

 

The ark did not exist on its own, nor did it come forth from the abyss; it was built; by who or when, could not be ascertained. After the technocyte virus had spread and the sentients had turned our weapons against us; the wars that followed only stood as a testament of what the Tenno must do in order to survive. In the exploration of the Void there were certain locations inaccessible to normal ships and further so was the reach of the Void in itself. Deeper but deeper still was its mysterious boundaries and further were its effects on the mind, capable of bending the will, if not break it. "The Ark" was discovered on a research mission, one of many but this one in particular bore significant importance. Within it were maps, "star charts" in particular to access certain areas of the Void. However, most had been eroded by time and the coming of the infestation did not aid in its restoration nor in its deciphering.

 

An artifact, a relic, with the means to lead those who sought a way into the Void a passage to circumvent its secrets: this was its purpose from what one could gather. However, throughout the eroded engraved locations on the walls, there was one in particular. This area was undiscovered until the initial investigation of The Ark. Pressed for time, and out of desperation, Tenno researchers utilized what they had learned and activated the Ark; travelling to that area, an area to them was of promise and salvation. When they had arrived to their destination what they had encountered was, a derelict. Old, abandoned, but unlike that of the Orokin. As they docked their ship, they discovered no opposition, no invasion, nor infestation, which brought a valid question to mind; Why?

 

A research station was established as was a base of operations close by the supposed "docking bay" where they had left their vessel. The researches had begun their investigation of the derelict, walls eroded by time, engravings that could only be partially understood. Natural rock formations, stalagmites and stalactites growing from within the facility, this all  looked unreal as if to say it was some illusion; however, it was not. As they traversed deeper and deeper into the derelict they found small instances that signaled they were not alone, however, much to their dismay, this was not the case. Certain corridors had traps, some more intricate than others. Although, at a certain point they came into a junction to where, in order, to further explore the derelict they must separate to cover more ground. Though separated, each came across a door and atop those doors, individually were read; "United we stand, divided we fall" followed by "it is through opposition we will thrive" and the last "You are your greatest enemy". These three doors each led to a chamber, however the findings of what were inside of those chambers had long been lost for a century, except for the following message; "I found some inscriptions... here.... they read..... "The Cradle"....".

 

The Cradle;

 

 

Accessible/ Important Rooms;

 

Isolation Chamber;

 

"United we stand, Divided we Fall" Above the Door

 

Interior;

 

 

Basic Layout

 

 

Cygnus Chamber;

 

"It is through adversity we Persevere" Above the Door

 

Speculum Chamber;

 

"You are your own worst enemy" Above the Door

 

Vitality Chamber; [Note; will only be opened once all three other chambers have been completed]

 

Riddle; "What happens when an unstoppable force meets the immovable object?"

 

Conditions;

 

Each room can only be opened individually, once you have access to the key of that room, what is within it is the mission in itself. However, there will be a room in which you have an option to fight the boss or flee with mod in hand. That being said, there is a secondary condition, all players must escape not one escape and all are left behind. As one of the doors said; "It is through adversity we persevere" This being said, there is a greater reward involved when you face off against what dangers lay beyond the door, within each individual chamber. You can only go to one room at a time, multiple people cannot open multiple rooms. [More details will be updated later, this is the concept of what initially can be done, overall in the rooms]
