The Hunt for Alad V/Quotes

Introduction[]

A Proposition

Tenno,

Between us, we have three problems.

Alad stole your people. He cut them to pieces, welded them into his freak Zanuka. You need to stop him before he makes more, but you don't know where he is. This is your problem.

For me, Alad V is a con and an imposter. Still, if Zanuka is brought to full production, he will become the richest and most powerful member of the Corpus Board. He could become Chairman. That is my problem.

I have sent my forces to Jupiter to capture the criminal, but Alad is using that damned Infestation as a biological weapon. Every last ship has been overrun by those monsters. This is now your problem. Wipe those ships clean, and I will reveal Alad V's location. With that information, you can make the rest of our problems go away. Deal?

—Frohd Bek

During The Hunt for Alad V Mission[]

Beginning of mission[]

Lotus: "I don't trust Frohd Bek, but I trust his hatred for Alad V. We'll help him now, if it means we can stop the Zanuka Project."
Lotus: "This Infestation stands between us and Alad V. Clear this ship."

Frohd Bek: "Oh Alad, all your lying, and sneaking, and cheating. And what do you have to show for it? You're in debt to the Board, and I've come to collect."
Frohd Bek: "What happened to you, Alad? I looked up to you. Your profits. Your products. A little madness, and you throw it all to the Void."
Frohd Bek: "Look at you, Alad, hiding in a corner, playing with your toys. How embarrassing. The Corpus deserve better, and I'm the one to deliver the goods."
Frohd Bek: "Who got you fired? Who got Zanuka's funding pulled? Oh, I know this. I know this. It was me."
Frohd Bek: "You can't hide, ride, or bribe your way out of this, Alad. You've been downsized and your fat head is about to suffer cutbacks. Literal cutbacks."
Frohd Bek: "Hey Alad! Zanuka is done! You are done! When you are dead, the Board will be signing over everything you own to me!"
Frohd Bek: "I'm feeling a promotion coming my way! About to climb another rung on this ladder! About to send my old pal Alad V into early retirement."
Frohd Bek: "The Tenno are too dangerous, too profitable, to provoke! Zanuka was a bad paradigm. A costly miscalculation. But don't worry, Alad, I'll keep your credits warm when you are gone."
Frohd Bek: "It's time for you to pay your debts! I've got the Betrayers doing the repo work – if you ask me, they've got a different idea of blood money."

After killing all Infested[]

Lotus: "One more Infested ship cleared. Get out of there."
Lotus: "I'm not detecting any more Infested. We're making progress. Get to extraction."

Aftermath[]

Problem Eliminated

You have lived up to your end of the bargain, now I will live up to mine. Themisto – that is where you will find Alad V. Cowering behind his pet, doing unspeakable things to you and yours. Do me a favor, don't go easy on him. He hasn't earned your pity.

Our arrangement has been fruitful, Tenno. Take this gift as a symbol of my appreciation. Maybe we can scratch each other's back again someday.
