Introduction[]

Glory Awaits

People of the Grineer,

Earth is the jewel in our crown, yet so much of it remains unexploited. Its forests have been invaded by overgrown Orokin engineered super-weeds. When we cut them down, they grow back. When we build our bases, they overtake them. We have tried to work within the forests, we have tried to tame the forests. Our capitulation has become weakness.

The Cicero Toxin will break these forests and impose our will on the landscape. My scientists have pinpointed a chemical weakness that is common to ninety percent of the vegetation in the central region. Over the next several days, we will exploit that weakness, causing our enemy to wilt and decay. We will finally settle what is rightfully ours.

Your Greatness,

Councillor Vay Hek

Crisis On Earth

Tenno,

We must hurry. Since the time of the Orokin, the engineered forests of Earth have repelled any attempt to cut them down. Now, the Grineer, led by Councillor Vay Hek, have developed something called the Cicero Toxin. With it, they plan to poison Earth's forests so they can exploit the land beneath it. We will not let this happen.

You need to find an antidote to this toxin. I believe the key ingredients lie within the very forests the Grineer want to destroy. Go to Earth and use your scanners and search out these ingredients. Then return to your Foundry to craft an anti-toxin. When you have the antidote, take it back to Earth and neutralize as much Cicero Toxin as you can.

You will need to work together to find the most effective antidote. The best formulation for the anti-toxin remains unclear.

Be careful, this is no nature walk. Vay Hek will do everything he can to stop us.

Aftermath[]

Crisis Averted

It is done. Our mission has been accomplished. The Grineer have abandoned the last of Cicero Toxin, leaving the forests of central Earth relatively unscathed. You have all fought bravely and it is now time to celebrate our victory.

As recognition for your participation in this mission you have been awarded the Cicero Crisis badge.

Also, as a reward for your tireless effort, you will receive a collection of Toxin mods that have been developed by researching the Cicero Toxin.

Finally, for going above and beyond the call of duty, I am bestowing upon you these Twin Vipers Wraith. Take them and continue our fight.
