Councilor Vay Hek has many quotes, most coming from two events, The Cicero Crisis and Tethra's Doom, as well as some from his Assassination mission. All of them can be found on this page. Along with Alad V and General Sargas Ruk, Councilor Vay Hek is one of the few bosses who speak English when communicating with the Tenno.
During The Cicero Crisis
When Locating the Cicero Injector
- Tenno bones will be the foundation of Grineer homes!
- No mercy for Tenno, no mercy for their Lotus!
- The Tenno hate our superiority! We will put them out of their jealous misery!
- Death! Death! Death! Death to the Tenno!
- Our Queens demand justice for your trespasses Tenno!
- The Lotus is just another weed to be plucked and discarded!
When Injecting the Antitoxin
- Stop them! Defend the Cicero Toxin!
- The Tenno have come to destroy our way of life! Stop them at all costs!
- Tenno crimes require Grineer sacrifice! Protect the Cicero Toxin at all costs!
- Protect the Cicero Toxin! Stop the Tenno!
- Brothers! Do not let the Tenno threaten our destiny!
After Defending the Antitoxin
- No... NO! You will not stop this!
- Tenno... you are only delaying the inevitable!
- Only a small setback; insignificant against the tide of Grineer will!
Regulator Broadcasts
- Nothing can stop the Grineer! We are progress!
- Earth is for Settlements! Settlements! Settlements!
- The Cicero toxin will bring Grineer order to the land!
- We clear this land, in the name of Grineer and our Queens!
- Mastery of Earth is Grineer destiny! Our Queens command it!
- Tenno are worse than weeds! We kill one, and three more show up!
- Grineer order will conquer the land! Grineer order will conquer Earth!
- Brothers! Don't trust any plant you can't rip apart with your bare hands!
- The Cicero toxin will cleanse the land! Leaving a glorious home for our Queens!
- Grineer brothers! It is us or the Orokin weeds, and we must choose... Herbicide!
- These trees! These genetically modified, Orokin monstrosities must wither and die!
- We deserve more than a cold, dark asteroid! Earth for the Grineer! Earth for our Queens!
- The garden of Earth is overgrown! Who will help me reap this victory from the land!?
- Tenno hate Grineer strength! They want to tear down anything they are too weak to build for themselves!
- Just like these weeds, the Tenno are nothing more than a mistake, growing on the bottom of some dirty Orokin test tube!
During Tethra's Doom
Transmission
Directed Toward the Grineer
- Something is wrong. Tenno. Stop Them!
- Tenno... Tenno? Tenno are here? Stop them. Stop them at once!
- Tenno have the core?! They are not permitted to have the core!
- Come back with the core, or don't come back at all!
- What is happening to the Tram? Investigate! Investigate now!
- What is happening? Where... where is the core?
- Be warned; Failure to stop the Tenno will result in your failure to continue breathing!
- Stop them! Recover the cores!
Directed Toward the Tenno
- You are only delaying the inevitable. My Fomorians will be built. My ships will rule the system.
- Assassins! Thieves! Miscreants! Leave my cores alone!
- Try it Tenno! Just try and walk out of here with my core!
- We will build the cores faster than you can destroy them Tenno. Mark my words.
- You can not stop progress. All will be Grineer dominion!
During Phase 2
- You have already shown me your hand. Now it is time to see what I have up my sleeve!
- You have taken my bait! But you will not take my cores! GRINEER! ATTACK!
- You are running out of time. There will be nowhere to hide from my Fomorians. And when the last of you is gone, I WILL PERSONALLY THROW YOUR BELOVED LOTUS INTO THE SUN!
