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[]

(Laughing) Tenno! Tenno, Tenno... You think you're winning? You have only been attacking the AUXILIARY cores! Did you really believe it would be this easy?! 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!
—Vay Hek

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 AAALL!!
  • 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! ATTAAAAAACK!!!
  • 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!!!

  • "Our operatives tell us Vay Hek has undergone an expensive regime of combat enhancement. Expect the worst."
  • "Councilor Vay Hek rose to power by 'eliminating' his enemies on the Grineer council. He now has near complete control which makes him one of the most influential Grineer."
After defeating Vay Hek
  • "Thank you Tenno. It should be a long time before we hear Vay Hek's ugly voice again. Now get to extraction, you've earned it."

On An Alert Mission[]

During Operation: Gate Crash[]

Transmission[]

Grineer! It is my duty to inform you of more Tenno arrogance! The criminal Lotus is planning to unearth ancient technology to be use against us! Will we stand by while they threaten our victory? NO! We will not allow them to dig up ghosts of the past! We will go to the Void! We will find what they seek! And we will turn every last shred of this "Archwing" technology into dust! You will be led by pairs of my newest, most vicious clones! GO NOW! For the Queens!
—Vay Hek

During The Archwing Quest[]
