Foreshadowing[]

These were written out in chat by Redtext minutes before Update 13.8 (2014-06-19) was released.

Tenno, our operatives have discovered an unusual cluster of Corpus vessels operating in the vicinity of Eris. We suspect these ships may be harboring Alad V's genetic experiments. Stand by for further instruction.
Confirmed. An abnormal Infestation presence has been observed on board these ships. Reports are indicating immense amounts of biological activity, suggesting the existence of numerous Infested HIVES.
Tenno, we must act quickly to stop this new threat at all costs. If left unchecked, these HIVES may produce enough Infestation to overrun the System. Prepare yourselves – Operation: Breeding Grounds is imminent!

Introduction[]

Alad V is Back

Tenno, we have a problem.

Alad V has developed a way to direct the spread of the Infestation. Using these newly engineered "hive" organisms, the Infestation is able to corrupt a new ship or colony almost instantly. There are also disturbing reports coming in that the virus has evolved. It is now capable of absorbing and corrupting non-organic beings. Not even the robotic soldiers of the Corpus are safe now. The only way to stop the spread is to destroy these hives.

We have just received word of a massive outbreak near Eris. An entire fleet of Corpus ships has been exposed to this new bioplague. Alad V is almost certainly responsible. If Alad V's hives are allowed to gain a strategic foothold here, the Infested will become unstoppable. They will overrun the system in a matter of days. If we don’t put an end to this now, the Corpus, the Grineer, the Tenno... we could all fall in the wake of this horrible scourge.

During Breeding Grounds Mission[]

Introduction, first mission
  • Lotus: "There is no telling what effect destroying these hives will have. Stay alert."
Introduction, subsequent missions
  • Lotus: "I am detecting fewer and fewer infected ships. Your tireless onslaught is working. Keep fighting."
Alad V's taunt, first mission
  • Alad V: "Tenno, there you are. I thought you'd never show up. Come, test out my new fighters and let me know what you think."
Alad V's taunt, subsequent missions
  • Alad V: "Do you think you're winning? You can't cut my hives down faster than they grow. That's not possible!"
Approaching a hive
  • Lotus: "You are approaching a hive. Every hive is protected by a series of tumor nodes. Destroy those, and you can destroy the hive."
  • Lotus: "There is a hive in the area. You must destroy all the tumor nodes before you can damage the hive."
  • Lotus: "You are near a hive. Destroy the tumor nodes to make the hive vulnerable."
  • Lotus: "A hive is nearby. Be on alert; there's no way to know how the Infestation will react to this hive's destruction."
Destroying all tumors
  • Lotus: "All nodes destroyed. The hive is vulnerable."
  • Lotus: "That's it, now take out the hive."
  • Lotus: "Now quick, destroy the hive!"
Destroying a Gas Hive
  • Lotus: "Watch out! Destroying that hive released clouds of toxins."
Destroying a Frozen Hive
  • Lotus: "Taking out that hive has disrupted the environmental system. Expect sub-zero temperatures and weakened shields."
Destroying a Lancing Hive
  • Lotus: "Killing that hive seems to have triggered nearby laser traps. Proceed with caution."
Destroying a Pulsing Hive
  • Lotus: "Hive destroyed, but be careful. I am now detecting fields of intense magnetic disturbance."
Destroying a Security Hive
  • Lotus: "That last hive was interfering with the defense systems. Beware – turrets are now online."
Destroying a Stabilization Hive
  • Lotus: "Destroying that hive damaged the stabilization module. Expect reduced gravity."
Destroying all hives, first mission
  • Alad V: "Impressive, isn't it? I just can't wait to see the looks on the faces of the Corpus Board when I give them a demonstration."
  • Lotus: "All hives destroyed. Head to extraction."
Destroying all hives, subsequent missions
  • Alad V: "You haven't turned the tide! I— I can grow more! I— you... you haven't stopped me. Not this time."
  • Lotus: "All hives destroyed. Head to extraction."

Aftermath[]

What Doesn't Kill Us...

I suppose I should thank you Tenno.

I know, you must think I'm crazy. After all, you've wiped out my first assault and destroyed the vast majority of my hives. My venture should be in shambles but there's always a silver lining, look what you've left me with! I now command the most fierce and evolved Infested in the system. They are quite something and you should be proud because in a way, you were their coach.

Our numbers are small but we're growing, changing. The next time you see us you are in for quite a surprise.

Until we meet again,

Alad V.

Victory is Secured

<PLAYERNAME>, you have gone the distance. While there are still pockets of strong resistance, the Infestation is no longer a serious threat and Alad V is retreating... for now.

Please take this Prova Vandal, you've earned it.

You have done your part but I wonder how much further can you take this fight? Your fellow Tenno will be watching.
