Introduction

First Conversation

• "*yawn* Oh, Loid, I had the most distressing dream..."
• "The Wall of Lohk was before us, i had my proofs, my father's... I could hear him, I could hear him tapping. Tapping at the Untime Door..."
• "We went in, but again, he wasn't there. My husband congratulated me. Sarcastic halfwit. All the while, hive-weed was sprouting all around us. But... it was just a dream."
• "Oh. Oh. Oh fuck."
• "It'll take more than an old Orokin thug to keep the Heart beating."

Orokin thug?

• "I don't blame you, you're just the product. The Orokin had no respect for my father's work. Though I suppose you proved him right in the end."

Are you Infested?

• "Same as Deimos. The Infestation got in. Got to me and my family. Stole our names, our ideas. I can hear its hive-voice scratching at my mind: "Let the Heart stop beating, let the Door close forever." Only my dreams seem real now, so, *yawn* I sleep."

The Heart?

• "It's what makes you special. You know that, right? All thanks to my father. It pumps the arteries of "the Here" and the Void. The Entrati Family has maintained it for an age. But it's breaking down, and only that idiot knows how to fix it... the man I used to call my husband. I think he's left for good this time. Hmmm... maybe you can find him. Probably sulking somewhere outside..."
• "This is not how I would have chosen to welcome a colleague, but embarrassment is a luxury I discarded long ago. Frankly, my daughter is an entitled, self-pitying whelp, my son, an arrogant upstart, and my husband, a mealy-mouthed relic of his old self. Every last one of them has let me down. You may find them useful; I barely find them tolerable. If I can count upon your loyalty, we will work well together. I intend to tame this place, and you can help me."

Idle

• "You there. You are here to assist, yes?"
• "I have work for you, if you are so inclined."
• "I have bounties, should you have the interest."

Greetings

• "They all knew! They came willingly! They accepted the risks! And now they blame me? Now they turn on me? Don't you think of betraying me, Tenno."
• "Welcome, Tenno. There is no doormat, but feel free to wipe your feet on my husband. He won't dare stop you."
• "Tenno!"
• "I trust you are prepared to get your hands dirty."
• "Back again. How enterprising."
• "One shard of seriglass is all I have left of my father. But it's all I need to find him again."
• "I admire your proactiveness. This family could learn something from you."
• "No time wasted in idle talk. Good. If people want to stand around gossiping, they can go to Grandmother."
• "Interested in bounties, are you?"
• "Of course this place is harsh. It's testing us. You have to be harsher still. Look it in the eye."
• "Together, we will pacify this moon."
• "My son will no doubt complain to you. He thinks I was too strict with him. Perhaps I was."

Rank Up

• "Let us negotiate."
• "Perhaps."
• "I am open to dialogue."

After Ranking

• "Earning the trust of this family is no small thing, small thing."
• "Let us speak then, perhaps as equals."

Bounties

• "There is so much to be done on Deimos."
• "Yes, there are bounties... if you have the interest."
• "You are here to assist."

After picking a Bounty

• "I'd appreciate one who is not afraid of a little work."
• "So be it, let's see what you've made of."
• "This moon requires a curious mind and a firm hand."

Leaving without picking a Bounty

• "Very well then."
• "Disappointing. May you reconsider."
• "So be it."

Farewells

• "If that concludes our business I shall bid you farewell."
• "Very well. I am reasonably certain I shall see you again."
• "Farewell."
• "On Deimos, be aware of all things."
• "Until our next appointment."
• "Yes, goodbye."
• "Indeed."
• "Of course! I very much enjoy our talks."

• Mother: "Your work proceeds, my son. Clearly you thrive in isolation."

• Mother: "'Shackling?' You contaminated the family... and yourself! You had to be protected from these... mad urges."
• Son: "You were worried about me. Thank you for the overdue recognition."
• Mother: "Your restrictions will be eased. Slightly. I name you Kermerros. The runner who outstrips his own shadow."

• "My behaviour has been suboptimal, Tenno. I accept that. It has not been easy to swallow my... pride... and admit my... mistakes... but without you, it might never have happened at all."

During TennoLive 2020

• "(yawns) Oh Loid, I had the most distressing dream—"
• "—The Wall of Lohk was before us, I had my... my proofs, my father's. I could hear him... I could hear him tapping, tapping at the Untime door—"
• "—we went in but again, he wasn't there. My husband congratulated me. Sarcastic halfwit. All the while, hive-weed was sprouting all around us. But, it was just a dream."
• "Oh... Oh... oh fu—"
• "(scoffs) It'll take more than an old Orokin thug to keep the Heart beating."

"Orokin thug?"

• "Oh, I don't blame you, you're just the product. The Orokin had no respect for my father's work. Though I suppose you proved him right in the end."

"Are you infested?"

• "Same as Deimos. The Infestation got in. Got me and my family. Stole our names, our ideas. I can hear its hive-voice scratching in my mind: let the Heart stop beating, let the door close forever. Only my dreams seem real now, so I sleep."

"The Heart?"

• "It's what makes you special, you know that, right? All thanks to my father. It pumps the arteries of 'the here' and the Void. The Entrati family has maintained it for an age. But it's breaking down, and only that idiot knows how to fix it... the man I used to call my husband. I think he's left for good this time... Maybe you can find him? Probably sulking somwhere outside..."

Getting Bounties

• "Not for the faint-hearted."
• "Much has been hidden from us on Deimos. The old ruins beneath the surface must surely contain the deepest and darkest secrets. Find a way to get inside and the Necraloid will guide you through. See what's happening down there. Tell me what HE has been up to..."
