"How is it that you plan to destroy the Lotus?" I sighed inwardly as he regarded me with curiosity and suspicion. "Already you have revealed your intent; knowing that much is nearly as lethal as the plan through which your goal shall rise from dream to reality. If you had no intent of sharing that with me, there would be little purpose in luring me here, and revealing such a dangerous truth."

He nodded. "Aye; a habit it is however, to regard the Lotus' whores with disdain if not a healthy sliver of concern. It is War that shall cleanse this realm, my new ally. War that she herself condones."

Silently, I gestured for him to elaborate.

"The Solar Rails; she delights in our destruction of one another, knowing that it hones our skill for the day more challenge foes that bumbling Grineer and half blind Corpus stumble into the path of our blades."

"So you would create war as a diversion?" I asked cautiously, uncertainty stealing the confidence from my voice.

"Aye. We shall conquer Solar Rails, and garner her attention, give her reason to look this way."

"Is that not the opposite of our goal?"

"Far from it. When her attention is shifted to the intoxicating flames of war, she will become blind to machinations deeper than steel on Warframe, and curses hissing from metal lips. We shall slowly learn of her location, then in her distraction slay her."

"Assassinating the Lotus," I mused. "One last death, and we shall be free."

"Indeed." He nodded grimly. "One last death, and we shall be free."
