Customizable Mission Support

[DrakeWurrum]

I've been thinking for a while that it would be cool if we could replace the Lotus with other characters for mission directive voice lines, but the events of Sacrifice somewhat clinched it for me... we need it.

The idea would be that, by default, you can keep the simulated Lotus for your mission directives, but you could customize it from within your Orbiter to pick from alternative characters to fill the role.
The options already accessible could be, say, three different "Tenno operatives" that each represent one of the three surviving Tenno relays, with their own personalities and voices.

But then, through Syndicate standing, you could unlock characters from each of the Syndicates to support your Tenno in missions. Palladino from the Red Veil.  Ergo Glast from Perrin. Etc
And maybe from the Market, for plat, you could get Maroo. Darvo. Even... Clem!

It makes sense to me that our Tenno would want to pursue information and mission support from other organizations to garner support in our efforts. The Tenno as a whole are a guerilla spec ops force, so we'd need that kind of support from others to remain functional.

Yeah I was thinking Darvo 'cause he already has dialogue for survival missions, or even the syndicates could guide you. I feel the same, I don't want to live with synthetic Lotus for another 1-2 years.
