Foreshadowing[]

On September 17, 2014, Vay Hek issued a warning to the Tenno:

  • Councilor Vay Hek: "Grineer! It is my duty to inform you of more Tenno arrogance! The criminal Lotus is planning to unearth ancient technology to be used 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!"

Introduction[]

Operation: Gate Crash

Tenno,

We have reviewed Baro Ki'Teer's Archwing datamass. Much of it is corrupt, but what little it does reveal is invaluable. We now know that more information exists and we must look for it in Orokin Derelicts locked in the Void.

Our mission is urgent. The Grineer have also learned about the Archwing technology and they are determined to destroy all traces of it before we find it. To do this, Vay Hek is using Void keys and Torsion Beam Generators to force open Orokin portals.

We must destroy his access to these portals. Our ability to recover Archwing fragments depends on it.

Careful, Tenno. Vay Hek is using unstable keys. Cumulative exposure to the keys will have detrimental effects on your health, shields, and warframe abilities. Proceed accordingly.

Progressing Through the Event[]

Operation Gate Crash: Keep Fighting

Tenno,

Your first strikes against the Grineer are already forcing them to rally reinforcements. Fortunately, Void keys are much harder to come by than Grineer clones. With effort we can destroy their entire stock of keys.

Take this badge and keep fighting.

Operation Gate Crash: A Boost

Tenno,

I am impressed with your progress, <PLAYERNAME>, but exposure to the Void keys has left you vulnerable. Take these mods. I hope they will help you in your attack.

Operation Gate Crash: Recognising your Sacrifice

Tenno,

You have gone above and beyond. The Grineer are on the defense. Their supply of Void keys is dwindling.

To recognize your sacrifice, I am giving you this weapon. Use it to defend the balance.

Aftermath[]

Operation Gate Crash: Victory

Tenno,

It is done. By destroying the Grineer's supply of Void keys, you have ensured that they can no longer access the Void at will.

More importantly, due to your tireless exploration, we have uncovered enough uncorrupted Archwing data to attempt reconstruction of the Orokin prototype. This will take time. I will keep you informed of my progress.

Many of you took great personal risk by repeatedly exposing yourself to Vay Hek's unstable Void keys. With the keys destroyed, you will find that the effects from exposure will dissipate quickly.

Despite our victory today, we must remain vigilant. The Balor Fomorians are nearly complete and our fight is far from over.
