[SPOILERS] Chimera Prologue thoughts?

[Kamosa]

What do you guys think these events will lead to? For those who haven't seen the prologue yet, here it is:

https://youtu.be/vTaFiCY9ZiQ

It's obvious this might go beyond Fortuna, right over to the New War itself. I thought we were gearing up to save Lotus from herself/her kind, but it seems to be setting her up to be the main antagonist instead.

Also, I wonder if the sentient conversion that's happing to Ballas is also linked to acquiring the Sentent arm cannon that was shown off a while back.

How to access it in-game?

[Kamosa]

After you finish The Sacrifice, enter your personal quarters and interact with the Lotus helmet on the pillar.

[PhellAsleep]

Called it. There is no balance. There is only war.

I hate the lotus. She should be killed painfully by my hand

i think the cost of the sword is too high in the ducats thats probably because i never get ducats but whatever and why would ballas think dieing by his own rebelling creation is the perfect death

[Lynsi]

Rly liked the Quest, didnt expect it to be about Ballas and made the entire Story more interessting (and the Chimera Prolugue is on pair with Sacrifice in Terms of being my fav Quest)
However im wondering what happens if Ballas catches u before the Sword is done (considering he literally hands it to u to help with the War)

In my Opinion im still annoyed at Ducats being used for a Weapon as some People swim in them and others only get them for Baro (i usually get mine in the Week Baro comes)

The Sword also looks rly good

considering the light is a sentiant eye and he looks away when your taking the sword i think he's being moniterd by the mother and you would be killed be like a transferince overload 'cause your not really there

Already thought of that considering how the Quest ends
Still want to see what exactly happens (aka how the entire Situation ends)

[Neferseia]

When I first started this quest I ended up with ballas from the start, so I guess I won't be seeing all the little lotus operators for a while. Thanks bugframe

[Kamosa]

Lotus helmet as a cosmetic for operators would be pretty cool, too.

You get Ducats by going to any relay. There are two consoles in the concourse that you trade prime parts and blueprints to get ducats.

Hm. To my opinion, I found Ballas to be the blindest guy that ever existed. For an experienced conspirator, and, probably, the head of the Orokins...

Well for a guy who infests a loyal Dax to kill his son just for the thrill of it, that's surprising that he could be so unfocused and forgetful.

His contract with Hunhow clearly stipulated that if he were to betray the Orokins, Hunhow will give him Natah (and that's how he surely called her, because even Ballas knows her name) mimicking Margulis (Margulis, the one he clearly remembers being dead, executed by him) as a collateral for him as a reward.

Natah weren't really enthusiastic about it, even if she were an inferior sentient, and thus, Sentient being a Geltast consiouisness, directly over the mind control of her father, Hunhow and her unnammed mother. (Do sentients needs to mix DNA ? Do they, so, have two parents ?)

Something went wrong on that plan, Hunhow were incapacitated. Natah broke free of his control.

Unable to blatantly join the Orokins with Ballas inside, or just escaping his way out of the system, she took the lead of the only outcasts powerful enough the system had to offer. Someones, who, like her, were treated as mere tools.

She took the lead of the 10-0, as Margulis, to fight especially against Ballas and the Sentient.

That's the basic definition of a double agent. She was someone working initially for the sentient, pretending working for Ballas, in reality working against him with the subjects 10-0.

She went as far as leading them on fight, as we can recall with Mirage, or hiding an entire satellite in the only dimension that would cause her death if she decided to step on it, with no guarantee we would continue working for her after that.

As a compensation for her caring for us much more than the Orokin did, and even after our awakening, we slaughtered these ungrateful pricks right in front of their only loyalists.

Hey Stalky, no hard feelings. They were going to execute you for being a void demon after that anyways. Seeing that you've not found your operator and speak in a hushed voice, they probably already killed an transfered you, to be honest. Just like good ol'Rell. But he could survive via the magical power granted by the tought-pattern of his autism.

Anyways, back to the present. Hunhow were released by Dr.Strange (The Batman one)/Tyl Regor. He easily found Natah.

Protected by a (And I cannot really find anything to describe it more) localized Zero device in the shape of the flower Margulis loved more.

He was screwed.

But no ! He also localized Ballas. Good ol'Ballas survived this triple end of the system. One by the Sentient, one by us, and one by the Grineers.

Problem solved, right ? He just had to go there, remove her helmet and problem were solved for good.

And that's what he did.

Now Natah's back on Hunhow hierarchic control, we're screwed big time, everyone on the system seems awfully blind to that, a swarm of living beings the size of 150 meters high'll come gang on us, and by "gang on us" I mean "gang on us HARD"

(Here's a picture for you : http://i.imgur.com/WhCy9LJ.jpg )
(Here's another to more detail : https://img00.deviantart.net/36f5/i/2016/036/a/7/updated_warframe_size_chart___big_objects_by_stallordd-d9qkwld.jpg )

And good ol'Ballas ?

He's actually in a Brood Sentient, complaining that his collateral Natah isn't Margulis, but Natah. And, being a paranoïd and disfigured wreck, barely saved from death by a "Kind act of mercy" (Aka : I'm controlled, I have no choice but obey, but I can twist my orders), and he's persuaded he can give to a Schrödinger-teleported 10-0 a mental Sword blueprint against Sentients that is conveiniently archived into a sentient himself.

...nah, I think Natah's not the one to blame.

Edit : A lil'fridge horror there.

Natah could not bring us back to our Orbiter, following that, eh ?

But she's the one in charge of Mimics.

Heh, I would not be surprised if, in the shape we were, we didn't realized that was a Mimic who brought us back into safety in our own Orbiter...
