==In Fortuna==
===Introduction===
*"Well well well. Another Tenno. This ain't my usual line a work, y'understand. I'm not from around here. But I got a fast tractor and know how to jump a rail, so a new friend in Cetus set me up with all this. Name's Little Duck: fortune hunter, rail agent and the girl your Mumsie warned you about. And, now, somehow, the local Quill-endorsed purveyor of amps and assorted paraphernalia. So, what'll it be?" 
===Idle===
*"You want to see something? Well, don't stand in one place." 
*"Got a minute?" 
*"Hey hotshot, over here!" 
*"Biz once told me, an abandoned conscience finds its way home with a gun in its hand. He was talking about sticking to values about living with decisions. But I'd like to think of meself as Fortuna's conscience returned home. Ready to make some hard, correct choices." 
===Greetings===
*"Ready to dance on some faces?"

===When talking to her as a Warframe===
*"I deal with people, not machines, mate." 
*"Can't say I like the way you look, if you catch my drift." 
*"If you knew who I was, who I represent, you wouldn't have walked in here lookin' like that." 
*"You don't know the Quills. If you knew the Quills, they'd have mentioned your name. You'd best be goin'." 
*"You wanna deal with me? Lose the rig. Know what I mean?" 
===Amp Assembly===
*"Okie doke. You choose the bits and I put them together, so you can go off and kill people with your brain. I assume that’s how these things work. Never been game to try one meself." 
*"The Quills tell me you need to be careful pickin' what bits you want. An extension of your will or something. I guess you don't want to go plugging in somethin' unfriendly to your software." 
*"Amps are powered by the human brain, I guess. So, choose wisely, yeah? You wind up with a head full of fried bacon, I don't have a lot of ways to air this room out." 
====If Player has no Amp====
*"Kid, I got what you're after. I got a - oh right, another one. Look, an initiation to the mysteries of the universe is a bit above my wage bracket mate, so piece of advice, get yourself to Cetus and find the quill, he'll sort you out, okay? Tata for now. Poor kid, have no idea what they are in for." 
*"Get to Cetus, find the Quill, then talk to me. Just find a bloke who looks and sounds like the opposite of normal." 
====Idle While Choosing Components====
*"Choice paralysis matey?" 
*"First time putting one of these together?" 
*"Fortune favors the bold, matey. Just pick something." 
====No Components====
*"Gonna need parts to work with here, friend. Maybe... come back when you’re good to go?" 
====Amp Built====
*"Tab A into Slot B and... there we go. One Amp, as requested. Maybe just step outside before you fire that up." 
*"O...kay. Okay. Right. Here y'go. Good luck." 
*"I think I'm gettin' better at this! And they told me I needed 'training'." 
===Gilding an Amp===
*"You want somethin' dolled up? All right. Can't be any different to repainting a rail tractor." 
*"Sure. Let's take a look at it." 
*"Show us the piece. Let's see if it's worth it." 
====If Amp Is Not At Max Rank====
*"Amp gilding. Right. Look. If it ain't battle-proven it doesn't get no love. Strict orders. Quills. You know what they're like. "Power, Will, blah blah blah, co-author the future, endings and beginnings nyah nyah nyah." Honestly, I'd never hear the end of it." 
====Naming an Amp====
*"So, apparently, I'm supposed to ask if you want to... name it?" 
*"Onkko said some of you like to name these things? Any requests?" 
*"So, naming is a thing, yeah? Got your heart set on anything?" 
====Confirming New Name====
*"Hey, whatever works." 
*"I dub thee... what they said." 
*"So, is that, like, a regular name where you come from?" 
====Skipping Naming====
*"Probably for the best." 
*"Yeah, just thought I'd ask." 
*"Hey, they said to ask so I'm askin'."
====After Gilding====
*"Now she looks right expensive. Don't go waving this around. Wouldn't do having you getting stabbed for it." 
*"Good luck to you. I'd never be able to relax owning something that pretty." 
*"Looks like a whole new amp dunnit? I don't trust them. Too pokey mindy. I'd stick with the old Buzlok. Give me homing rounds and a crap eatin' grin any day." 
===Donating an Amp===
*"Wanna pass it on? Right you are." 
*"Oh. A giver. Step this way." 
*"If you're sure, matey. No idea what they do with these things." 
====Confirming Donation====
*"You're a good sort." 
*"I'm sure someone'll know what to do with this." 
*"Done. So, like, uh, do I give you a receipt, or...?" 
====Amp is not a max rank====
*"I don't know what to tell you, matey. Quills are a fussy lot. Won't take any kind of donation if the Amp ain't, their words, 'proven'. So, just FYI, yeah?" 
===Other Services===
*"Oh, a serious customer, are we? Alright, then." 
*"Interesting." 
*"All right. I'm listening." 
==Exclusive Dialogue==
===Rank 5 - Shadow===
====Re-introduction====
*"Well. This is me. What? Didn't expect me to be so pretty? I put in a lot of miles in this rig. Some days it shows." 
====Greetings====
*"Spoke to The Business lately? How is he? Does he ever...? Nevermind. You and me, we need to talk." 
*"Me old mate. 'Tween you and me, I ain't just here just to sell this stuff. There's... somethin' to this place. Somethin' other. I'm stickin' around 'til I crack it." 
*"Hotshot! The once and future maker of all trouble. Pull up a pew." 
*"What kept you, hotshot?" 
*"So here we are: just the two of us, and me with somethin' to make your day. Check this out." 
==From Fortuna Fragments==
*"Quills want me sellin' arms to the Tenno. Back in Fortuna. Not bloody likely. Quills. Shady, side-mouthed, doubletalking, ambidexter-feeling muckers. Never trust anyone who don't speak plain. Told 'em thanks but hop it. I'd a previous commitment: a contract to extract a Corpus defector name of Jubb Lott. Quill smiled that smile. The smile I hate the most. The smile of a body who thinks he's two steps ahead. The more I think about it, the more I know he was. Pratoo. That was his name. Quill Pratoo Secondary Sahd."
*JUBB LOTT: "Today?! I didn't know you were coming today!"LITTLE DUCK: "That's how hostile extractions typically work, Jubb! (blam) Unless! (blam) you'd like! (blam) to pencil me in! (blam) for a two-thirty next week! (blam) Maybe copy in your supervisor and half the security team?"JUBB LOTT: "AAGH!"LITTLE DUCK: "What is their problem?!"JUBB LOTT: "I MEAN ALL MY FILES ARE STILL IN MY OFFICE! YOU KNOW: THE WHOLE REASON YOU'RE DOING THIS?"LITTLE DUCK: "What files? I wasn't told about any files!"JUBB LOTT: "That's because I didn't tell them!"LITTLE DUCK: "Tell who? Tell who, Jubb!"JUBB LOTT: "The Quills, alright? The Quills!""And that's when it all make a cruddy kind of mucking sense. I'd been set up."
*"It was hairy but I managed to get us behind a sealed bulkhead, and into Lott's office."LITTLE DUCK: "They don't fight like this for mid-level pencilnecks! Who are you?"JUBB LOTT: "Jubb. Lott. Secondary Sub-Architect of Nef Anyo's Venusian Restoration. I... have information.""And then he said it."JUBB LOTT: "For Solaris United.""And then he got killed."JUBB LOTT: "Unf!" 
*"So. Solaris United was on its feet again. I've got friends in Fortuna. The first time SU tried to knock the crown off Nef's head it almost got every last one of them killed. Some of them, it did. (pause) Biz once told me how he survives atrocity. "If there's a fire on Deck 12, you seal off Deck 12. You don't go in. That's how you burn up. You wait 'til the fire's starved of oxygen. That's when you go in, assess the damage and clean up." I can't seal off Deck 12. Deck 12 is where I live."LITTLE DUCK: "What information? Tell me! Now! (blam blam)"JUBB LOTT: "Nef. Vallis. Orb Mothers... It's been developed..."LITTLE DUCK: "What? What's been developed?!"JUBB LOTT: "Shielding... Satellites... The Orb Mothers... cannot be..."LITTLE DUCK: "Jubb? What? The Orb Mothers cannot be what? Jubb!"
*"Biz saved me from a life of swabbing latrines on Phobos. He made me what I am. But only because I left before I became what he was. Now... now I had to go back. Everything Jubb knew... Biz had to know. Eudi had to know. They, and everyone in Fortuna, could be proper beached if I didn't. Pencilnecks like Jubb don't rick their hide unless they mean it. Whatever Nef was doin' with those Orb Mothers would be a hammer on the head of SU. Had to go back. If I didn't, if somethin' happened to Fortuna, I'd never sleep proper again. So. No more treasure hunting for LD. No more rescues. Back to where it all happened, and the hope that this time it wasn't burning, and me along with it."
==During Profit-Taker Orb Fight==
=== Mission Briefing ===
* "So we gonna pull the trigger on this thing? I got a card game to get to."
* "Uh..."
* "Alright, look. It might be that it turned out that those satellite protocols didn't shut the overcharger down, just realigned it. And it might be that you sounded so pleased about the whole thing that, uh, I didn't tell you."
==== Profit Taker reached ====
* "There she is."
==== After killing an enemy ====
*"Better you than me."
*"How many more of you are there?"
*"Another one down. You Outworlders can thank me later."
*"Scratch one."
*"Scratch another."
*"Nighty-night."
==== Final Phase ====
* "Uhhh, is this a bad time?"
* "Satellite just moved. Nef's crew must've figured out our bypass. It's realigning!"
* "Suppressing fire!"
==== Epilogue (After Profit-Taker explodes) ====
* "I need a drink. Let's never do that again."
* "Quills don't make mistakes, and there's always an agenda. Always."
==During Disruption missions==
===Start of Mission===
* "Alad V's sellin' the latest in "asset security". Conduits. Put the key in, and ya can pull the shinnies out. Trick is, you gotta wait to open. Somethin' happens to the Conduit before you can pull the goods? You don't get the goods. Ever. Also, the bleeders Alad sold the tech to will try to kill you." 
* "This isn't your regular vault job. Alad V sold the Conduits with interference routines, specifically designed for the Tenno. Don't you worry though. I've got some work arounds." 
* "This isn't your regular vault job. Alad V sold the Conduits with interference routines, specifically designed for the Tenno. Things might get a little weird." 
;Hacking door
* "Give that console the ol' bypass so we can get this thing started." 
;On Ur, Uranus
* "Well, looks like the Infested snagged this one. I haven't seen this many zits since puberty. Fortunately for us, the Conduits are still operational. Unfortunately for us; so are the security mechanisms." 
===First Conduit===
* "That there is a Conduit. Useless without the key. Start turning out pockets." 
* "Conduit keys are carried by high-ranking muckity-mucks. Knock 'em down, see what they got." 
===Picking First Key===
* "First key. Right. Find a matching Conduit." 
===Activating First Conduit===
* "They key worked. Protect the Conduit and watch out for Demo units. They're going try and blow that thing up." 
===Activating Conduit===
* "Demo unit incoming. Don't let them near the Conduit." 
* "Hear that beeping? Demo unit's on its way." 
* "Demo unit coming in fast. That thing blows and you can kiss the Conduit goodbye." 
* "Demo units lookin' to depart this mortal coil and take you with it. Keep it clear of that Conduit." 
;If debuff is rolled
* "You're about due for more a those whatsits: Interference routines. Demo units too." 
* "Can't do anything about that last interference routine. You'll just have to wear it. Maybe I can catch the next one." 
* "Right, they're havin' a go. Keep the demos away from that Conduit." 
* "Next verse same as the first. Mind you don't get flanked." 
* "More of the old ultraviolence. Keep your back to the objective, old mate. Lock it down 'till she pops." 
===Receiving a Conduit Boon===
* "Routine subverted and you're juiced. Nice. Shoulda been a boffin. Missed me callin'." 
* "Looks like Alad was so keen to make the sale he didn't close every back door. Greed makes a person sloppy, Hotshot, remember that. Enjoy the boost." 
* "Perforrrmaaaance... improvement? Won't be looking that Kubrodon in the mouth..." 
* "Fiddlin' with an incoming routine. Howzat feel?" 
===Conduit Failsafe Found===
* "What's this now? A failsafe? Yeah, heard about these. They'll cancel any running interference routines, but there's only one per system. Don't waste it." 
* "Conduit failsafe. Put that duck in a console and it will cancel out any active interference routine. This is the only one." 
===Conduit Failsafe Used===
* "Inteference routines wiped. Your timing is impecable." 
* "Good choice. That failsafe will make the next few moments bareable." 
* "Failsafe in effect. Pay no mind to the interference routine for the next little bit." 
===Conduit Destroyed===
* "Arse. Conduit down." 
* "Conduit destroyed. Won't be seeing those goods again." 
* "Conduit down. Look. Mumsie may have raised you believin' winnin' ain't the most important thing, but piece of advice? It is." 
* "They killed the conduit." 
* "That mucker got past you and now the conduit's blown. Move on. Move on!" 
* "Conduit blown. Mate: this is not how bills get paid." 
* "Conduit blown. Find another one." 
* "Conduit destroyed. Dust yourself off. There'll be another around here someplace." 
===Round Completed===
;Early rounds
* "Hope you're not done. Had to pay Maroo a small fortune in rations for this "tip"." 
* "Taking squared away. Right, send again?" 
* "Got a few seconds before the system resets. We can take them again. You game?" 
* "Care to live up to your reputation and try again?" 
* "Not going home yet. Just got here." 
;Later rounds
* "Why's ol' Alad call you lot Betrayers anyway? Ah, no matter care for another kick at the Conduit?" 
* "Alright... it's gettin' a little hairy. One more round, whaddya say?" 
* "Conduits about to reset. Feelin' lucky?" 
* "The longer we stick around the more likely we'll get our arses handed to us. Still, with great stupidity comes great reward. Whaddya reckon?" 
* "Gettin' a little hot. The gloves are comin' off. Got another round in ya?" 
===Round Start===
* "Wakey. Wakey. Here. We. Go." 
* "Lock and load." 
* "Right. They're back, and they're well pissed off." 
* "Eyes open, sunshine. Here we go." 
* "Bulk signal return. Dig in." 
* "Safeties off. We kicked a clown car. Here we go." 
===All Conduits Destroyed After Completing One Round===
* "Nothing ventured. You want round two? Ping me." 
* "Such is life eh?" 
* "All Conduits sealed. I'm pulling you out." 
===Mission Extraction===
* "You got out while you could. Smart move." 
* "Way ahead of you. Time to hit the pub!" 
* "Chekchek. Ejectin'." 
* "Shinnies secured and we're in the wind. I'll send your cut via the usual. Have a good one." 
* "We got as much as we're gettin' hotshot. We're a vapor trail." 
===Mission Failed===
* "Hotshot? Come on pal, get up. Hotshot?" 
* "I've lost the feed. Where are ya?" 
* "I'm punching out. Hotshot, if you can hear me make contact at the usual locale. Little Duck out." 
* "Sorry kid. It was a bad play."

=== Stolen Plates ===
* "Allo allo - missing your brain-buster then?" 
* "Hah! Can't risk what? Jank-ciphered comms? Already blew it. But listen, if you're here to muck with Narmer, I'm keen to lift with ya." 
* "Then you'll be wanting to pay a visit to that bleeding brain-buster factory. I know a shortcut. Might grab yourself a K-Drive if you've got the legs for it." 
* "Name's Little Duck. And you... you must be that stick in the spokes I've heard about. You weren't in with the Tenno back in the day, were ya?" 
* "Fresh shipment of brain-busters... and there's one with your name on it. See... security's lax on account of how the only way inside is wearing one of those sticky things." 
* "'Fraid not." 
* "Pops my plugs to think that some people take the veil by choice! Warm lies are more comfort than cold, hard truths, eh?" 
* "Ready? Veil up, and I'll mark the shuttle uplink once you're inside. Think happy thoughts, yeah?" 
* "Blending in nice, but I'd still give those Deacons a wide berth. Did you know they can detonate those veils if they smell a rat?" 
* "Ya shammin' brainless real nice, but I'd still give those Deacons a wide berth. They smell a rat, your Veil[sic] detonates. Take your whole face off an' no mistake." 
* "It did. And I didn't. Needed you focused." 
* "Oi! Focus! Jab that console, quick!" 
* "Ah, guts! You've been rumbled! Right, leg it out the back before ya mumblin' with the rest! I've sorted your ship... and a little nugget for myself while I was there." 
* "Ah... takes me back to the good old Tenno days... expect those brain-busters might be on backorder for a while. Been a pleasure lifting with you, Drifter."
