I am close. Along the dark coast of Sedna, we have detected numerous Tenno still in stasis. Even the Lotus herself is unaware of this. Our scouts are closing in on the Tenno cryopods now. They will soon be in our inventory. When the Betrayers awake, they will find themselves a part of our Zanuka Project.
My operation must remain a secret. The Grineer dogs will want this for themselves. I have prepared a surprise for them should they bite.
How long have our profits been hostage to Grineer protection? Too long.
Tell me you haven't found a cache of Tenno. That you aren't planning on keeping them for yourself. That you're not violating the terms of our contract and signing your own termination order.
I don't know what Zanuka is and I don't care. I want those Tenno or your severed, greed-ridden head.
I understand your reluctance in this matter, but you must admit the Grineer partnership is a farce. We need to change the terms. My agents have strengthened the Mars resistance.
They are ready to fight on my command. If the Grineer move against us, the rebels will strike. Let's see how they handle war on two fronts.
Once my new Zanuka products come off the assembly line, the Grineer will work for us.
Gentlemen, this is the beginning of higher margins.
Alad V
Alad V,
So, a little taste of power was all it took to make you forget your place? Now, you think you're bigger than the Grineer? That you can call the shots? You must know how this will end. That little thing you've pulled with the resistance on Mars – cute, but nothing more than a nuisance. It won't stop me from making your head an ornament on my capital ship.
Too bad, really, I thought our deal worked well. Now it's more clear to me than ever. The people of this system are here only to serve the Grineer. We have no need for partners.
Effective immediately, all your territory is now property of the Grineer. Prepare for boarding.
Sargas Ruk
Tenno,
We have a situation developing. Alad V and his Corpus troops were on the verge of capturing a long-lost group of Tenno still locked in cryostasis. Things escalated quickly when Sargas Ruk of the Grineer discovered the plan and demanded the frames for himself. Alad V refused, so Ruk ordered his territory confiscated. Fighting broke out a short time ago. At this point either side could win, and only we can tip the balance.
Tenno, I cannot in good conscience tell you who to support in this conflict. Fight for the Corpus and we stop the Grineer from grabbing even more power. If we fight for the Grineer, our fellow Tenno fall to the mercy of Alad V.

Sargas Ruk: "Rraahudd Tenno! Now we fight together! Now we crush the greedy milk from their skulls. The Corpus will pay for their crimes with their useless lives."
Sargas Ruk: "You shoot well. You cut well. You serve me well, Tenno."
Sargas Ruk: "Tenno, of course you side with us. Of course the Grineer are your best option. We share your joy in Corpus death."
Alad V: "What's that test tube dog giving you to fight for him? Whatever it is I'll double it!"
Alad V: "So, the betrayers are fighting for the dogs now? Why am I not surprised. The sooner my Zanuka project is completed the better. The system must be ridden of your hypocrisy."
Alad V: "Do you really think you are saving your comrades by supporting the dogs. What do you think happens if you allow Sargas to win? Do you think they'll be safe when you're all his slaves?"
Alad V: "Why Tenno what an intriguing Warframe you have. I look forward to adding it to my inventory."
Objective complete
Lotus: "The Corpus have been eliminated. Time to head home."
Lotus: "That's it, I am detecting no functioning Corpus. Get to extraction."

During mission
Alad V: "So we agree. The Grineer are too powerful, too arrogant. They must be put in their place. I'm glad you won't let our differences get in the way of our common interests."
Alad V: "Tenno, you know, we may not always see eye to eye... well, you don't have eyes but I'm pleased we've found common ground in our fight with these Grineer dogs."
Alad V: "You've made a smart choice Tenno. When the Dogs fall there will be profit for all of us."
Alad V: "Tenno, this was the only rational choice. And please don't worry about your friends, I have grand plans for them."
Alad V: "You and I aren't so different Tenno. We both know those dogs need to be put down. I sense we are at the beginning of a beautiful new partnership."
Alad V: "Nobody wants to be a slave. You understand that. These dogs aren't our masters, we won't follow their orders any longer."
Sargas Ruk: "Rraahudd Tenno! So willing to sacrifice your own. So willing to help these greedy worms. So willing to die for worthless cause."
Sargas Ruk: "Tenno, Alad will betray you. Alad will defile your kind. Alad will bleed from his selfish eyes as I crush him with your metal corpse."
Sargas Ruk: "Attention Tenno: Is it too late to change sides? Too late to reject the Corpus lies? Too late to save your kind?"
Objective complete
Lotus: "That was the last Grineer. Get out of there."
Lotus: "All the Grineer are dead. Proceed to extraction."

Corpus Battle Pay...
It pains me to reward a Betrayer in this way, but I will honor your contribution. Perhaps we are more alike than I imagined?

Aftermath[]
Gravidus Decided
Tenno,
I have intercepted a message from the Corpus Board to Alad V. They have grown tired of bankrolling Alad V's war effort and have withdrawn their funding. This has left Alad with no other option than retreat. Sargas Ruk is already readying his victory speech. This battle is over.
You have all done well. Those of you who supported the Grineer have given me the time I needed to locate our sleeping comrades. A recovery team is already traveling to retrieve their cryopods. Those that supported the Corpus have slowed Grineer aggression. Though the Grineer ultimately emerged victoriously, they did so at great cost.
The time for partnerships with these warlords has ended. We are no longer forced to support them in their petty conflicts. We must return to our stated goal of bringing balance to the solar system.
Despite your funding withdrawal, I have made the desired acquisitions. The Betrayers' senile mouthpiece was not able to recover all the sleeping Tenno and now the Zanuka Project has begun full production.
Our initial yields will be small, but I will leverage the output towards the capture of more raw material. Active specimens are now within our reach. Watch as our biggest nuisance is transformed into the heart of our profit machine.
In closing, it is my sincere hope the coming auction will mend our partnership and harmonize our collective resolve against the dogs.
Alad V
If Supported Grineer[]
Our Victory at Gradivus
He runs like a coward. He watches his profits crumble. Grineer feast atop the broken heaps of his defeated children. There was never any other fate. There was only ever one outcome. He knows what comes next.
You made the right choice. You became Grineer. You have earned your rewards.
And I, I will remember how you have served me.
—Sargas Ruk
(Attachment: Gradivus: Loyalty Emblem)
A Token
You did not have to fight like you did. You chose to support us. You chose to serve us. Take this weapon. It will make you strong like us.
The way you fight, we cannot grow this in a test tube. You are a true warrior. I need more warriors like you. Continue to fight for me. There is more where this came from.
The dogs claim victory. Do they really think I am defeated? They are nothing more than squatters on my property. Let them get comfortable. Let them be distracted by the disgusting needs of their replicated flesh. Meanwhile, my forces get ever closer to perfection. Arrogance and complacency will be their downfall.
Tenno, know that your support in this fight will ensure my eventual victory. It is only a matter of time. I have awarded you a bonus commensurate with your effort. I will not forget what you have done for me.
—Alad V
(Attachment: Gradivus: Sacrifice Emblem)
Sacrifice Rewarded
Tenno, the Grineer have crushed the Corpus resistance and Sargas Ruk's units are now occupying positions on Mars. Your choice to allow the sacrifice of fellow Tenno must not have been easy. Fortunately, it never came to that, and I have dispatched a team to recover our sleeping comrades. Though they are still a threat, take comfort in the fact that your efforts have slowed the pace of Grineer progress.
You shall be rewarded for your fortitude. During the invasion, Tenno agents recovered Brakk weapon blueprints, which I am delivering to you now.
