Bdembz Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) This has been bugging me since U9 came out and it still doesnt make sense to me. Maybe it will be answered with the release of Vor's Prize. Here's the problem I see: According to the lore section in the game and the tutorial, we can figure out that the tutorial took place near pluto (so lets call it the pluto system). We learn this by reading Vor's letter to the Queens which describes the tutorial. So wouldn't it have made more sense to start with pluto as the first planet we go through? Or is there some aspect to the lore that we have yet to see which brings us to mercury? Or am i just missing something? Edit: I know there are lots of plausible explainations. Im just saying that we never really fnd out. Missing gap in the lore Edited July 22, 2013 by Bdembz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firetempest Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You get walloped on Pluto and get saved. Now you are rebuilding your power to make your way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shion963 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 You get walloped on Pluto and get saved. Now you are rebuilding your power to make your way back. This. Bear in mind that you can go straight to Pluto, not passing Go and not collecting 200$ by joining other higher ranked Tenno. But seeing as to how mister Excal got whomped, I guess it seems like an unsmart thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gravy Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The 3 other Tennos (Frost, Ash, Nyx) rescued you and drop you off at Mercury to start your own mission? O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixty5 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Short answer? Space Magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdembz Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Im very aware that you were rescued. I still feel that it makes sense that you would be fighting your way through the pluto system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kahruvel Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 It's a cautionary tale. You started a mission on Pluto because you had all balls, no gear. The Grineer were about to stomp your &#! into oblivion, but luckily three other players showed up and carried you for the rest of the mission. Then Lotus tells you that you were an idiot for starting a mission on Pluto, strips you of your rank and title, and sends you to Mercury to atone for your noobery.

LeucienWeaver Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) We're told to retaliate against Vor and stop him from hunting more Tenno during one of his dissection sessions. He does this on Mercury because the facilities there support his task, and Pluto is still considered Corpus territory.

So if its Corpus territory why is there a whole grineer settlement there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundwave_Zer0 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 The other three guys noticed that you're an un-ranked newbie so they strapped your butt to the extraction ship so that you can train to not suck... It's either that or a wizard did it as said previously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeucienWeaver Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 So if its Corpus territory why is there a whole grineer settlement there Same reason why there are Orokin gates in Pluto space undiscovered by the Corpus; Space is freakin' massive.

Arlayn Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 How do you think we drop tenno off in the middle of corpus bases, or sneak on board their ships, and mines? Obviously Tenno have far more advanced stealth systems then radar systems existing in use by our enemies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
