The Business quotes.

In Fortuna

Introduction (In Vox Solaris (Quest))

• "Ah. The Tenno Eudico mentioned. How do you do, Outworlder. My mission is to conserve this region's unique species. You know, before the Corpus drive them to extinction. I'm known as 'The Business'. Eudico calls me... 'Biz'. I wasn't always about the... preservation of life - more the strategic deletion of it. Conservation may be my calling now, but the scales still require an occasional... adjustment. Head to Vallis if you're looking for some work."

• "I was there when we lost Zuud's sisters. For a lifetime, they shared a sensorium, created as one. Losing them crushed Zuud, her universe narrowing to single set of eyes, one pair of hands. The isolation broke her, remade her. A tragic figure, to be sure and loved."  (download, history)
• "I prefer not to talk about myself. An old habit, from another time. You understand."  (download, history)

Pobber

Mimic with Echo Lure

Sighting

Sunny Pobber

• "A Sunny Pobber, slightly less common than your garden variety. Lovely coloration though."  (download, history)

Subterranean Pobber

• "Mmm. Upon awakening the coolant towers, new life emerged. Genetic material, carried, I believe, in the coolant itself... interacting with some ancient, hidden component of the Orokin Vallis landscape. Life was seeded, quite literally, across its length and breadth. And here, now, we see the next stage of that emergence and evolution."  (download, history)

Virmink

Mimic with Echo Lure

• "The mating call of a Virmink. They're capable hunters of smaller prey, but will turn tail and run at first sight of something as formidable as yourself.

• "The Vallis lifeforms emerged like memories, as Venus herself remembered who she was. This, here, is one of the most distant, most precious remembrances – an original Orokin strain, unseen for millennia. And Nef would have it ground down to make nutrient paste. Another sacrifice to short-term thinking, to profit. To that, I say no. I say never!"  (download, history)

Borarola

Mimic with Echo Lure

• "Mountains, caves: these are things Bolarolas find... comforting. Craters, too, on ocassion. Now, this species is all about defense.

• "Forget about targeting the Bolarola any-old-where. The underbelly is its only vulnerable spot."  (download, history)

Spotted Bolarola

• "A Spotted Bolarola. Happy little thing. Let's bring it in; there's plenty of friends waiting for it."  (download, history)

Black-Banded Bolarola

Thorny Borarola

• "Feisty. We're lucky to have found this one before some wandering Sawgaw, or worse, did. These rare breeds need protection more than most."  (download, history)

Thorny Borarola

• "A species I've only heard tell of in legend. What a prize! Ha ha!"  (download, history)
• "Incredible. Just look at the way its defensive plating has evolved to include an offensive component! Not many have ever seen a Thorny Bolarola. Well done, Outworlder! Well done!"  (download, history)

Kubrodon

Mimic with Echo Lure

• "Ah. Yes. Well. this is interesting. You've managed to attract a Kubrodon. The apex predator of the Venusian plains.

Kubrodon Incarnadine

• "Now there's something to give the children nightmares. The legendary Kubrodon Incarnadine: the canine equivalent of the monster in your closet. Possessed of a particular malevolence, a dark intelligence, it kills not to survive, but for the raw pleasure of doing so. Nonetheless, I have tasked myself with preservation... so we will bring this devil in."  (download, history)

Brindle Kubrodon

Vallis Kubrodon

• "This one's a rare thing these days, and never outside the Vallis."  (download, history)

Kubrodon Incarnadine

Sawgaws

Frogmouthed Sawgaw

• "Is that...? I hadn't dared to hope. Outworlder, I have managed – at great risk – to secure an exceedingly rare Frogmouthed Sawgaw in the hope of someday locating a breeding partner for it. You have just found that mate. Please, very carefully, tranquilize our little friend and bring it in. The future demands this of us."  (download, history)

• "Extinct for generations. And yet here it is, now... and Nef's first instinct would be to display it stuffed in his boardroom. I will treat this one with the utmost care and find a mate... if a counterpart exists anywhere on this planet. The future demands nothing less of me."  (download, history)

Stover

Mimic with Echo Lure

• "The Stover: a kind of proto-Kubrow. When grouped in a pack they are relentless opponents. I once asked, 'Why Stover?' and was told it was because they're dumb as a stove, run hot... and having one on top of you ruins your day. Remember this: if you walk into a cave system that feels too warm, get out. Stover den."  (download, history)
• "Check the caves. Stover are near-blind but hear fantastically well and don't take kindly to intruders. And they're beefy as hell, so you'll need to tranq them more than once. Hopefully before you get mauled."  (download, history)
• "Good news: Stovers are nearly blind. Bad news: they hear well enough to make up for it, don't like intruders, and will take multiple shots to tranquilize. So... don't mess about."  (download, history)
• "Stovers: cave dwellers. Bad eyesight, excellent hearing, highly territorial. Hardy, so you'll need more than one shot to put them down. And they're aggressive. Good luck!"  (download, history)
• "Check the caves, and remember: they investigate sound. Also: you'll need to tranq the animal a few times before they go down. They're... impressively proportioned. They're basically a bicep with a face, if I'm honest."  (download, history)

Fire-Veined Stover

• "'Majestic' isn't a term I often reserve for something as dense and ungainly as Stovers, but for this magnificent creature I'll make an exception. I wonder why it's out here? Hm, let's not question this bizarre good fortune. Tranquilize it, and let's get it to safety."  (download, history)

From Fortuna Fragments

• "In this life a person has to find that which is more important than themselves. The Orb Vallis died a long time ago. It should not exist. But here it is. It has a second chance."

• "A sculptor sees the shape within the rock. Their skill lies in removing anything that is not that shape, delivering something beautiful and lasting into this world."

• "I was a sculptor, of sorts. Modest. My task was the considered removal of those who obscured the shape of what we wanted to be. With their deletion a just society came into clearer focus."

• "Small actions lead to powerful outcomes. One example: a young man is repoed, and Eudico resurrects the resistance. Wise conservation is all about understanding... patterns. Cause and effect. When orchestrating change in an ecosystem, ask: how will the system reconfigure in response to this new species. New forests? Redirected rivers? Diverse and beneficial new breeds? It is all connected."

• "It was Legs' punishment that inspired Eudico to resurrect Solaris United. Lean and wise, it is time for that hungry, furious wolf to enter the woods. For the Corpus to receive a selective and beneficial extinction. A small price to pay. A young man's body. An old man's soul."
