==During Natah==
*(Static)
::
::
::
*...Natah, where are you? You cannot hide from me.
::
*Natah, who have you become? Does this form remind you of what you once were? Time has carried my seed so very far from the branch.
::
*Natah, why did you betray me? Why did you not finish the sequence you started? Why did you stop at the last?
::
*We crossed the gap – wombs in ruin – to bring an end to this. We severed worlds, let them destroy me. Why is the sequence not complete?
::
*My own daughter. The last of my womb. How can you do this?
::
*You betrayed us. As I awake, so will they. They will say you're riven and want to reclaim you. I will not be able to stop them.
::
==During The Second Dream==
===Intro Cinematic===
*"Who destroyed the Orokin? Your way of life? Who do you hunt, Shadow, to cleanse your despair in their blood?"
::
*"Sever their heads, yet they rise again. Someone has hidden the Tenno essence, their truth, from you."
::
*"I know where she hides the Tenno heart. A womb in the sky, forbidden to my kind. But where you will take me."
::
*"I am Hunhow, Sentient destroyer of worlds. By your hand, expose their heart. By my edge... Cleave it beating from its nest."
::
===Interrupting the Spy Mission===

::
*"But I see your mind. I already have found them. You owe me their lives."
::
===Upon Discovery of the Sentient Fragment===
*"Thank you, daughter. Fear has baited you to the snare. What was secret is now known. Your Tenno, their touch – I now see the womb of the sky. My Shadow now walks the path."
::
===During the Discovery of the Void Gate.===
*"This needle pierces the sky. Natah, will we find the Tenno heart within? These puppets will not stop me. I will attack in many forms."
::
*"And the Reservoir with it. Very clever, Natah. Shadow, your path is clear."
::
*"Keep talking, Orokin called Alad V. Your silence soon comes."
::
*"The sky will be as it was meant. The Shadow returns the Moon. The Reservoir swells with Tenno blood. The Old War finally ends."
::
===Attempting to Destroy the Moon===
*"Collapse the Void, Shadow, so that my Fragments may attack. The Tenno hearts will beat their last."
::
*"The Moon will be crushed by the weight of the Void. The sky will be as it should be."
::
*"Natah, you trust this Orokin blood, who would chisel weapons from our bones?"

::
*"Shadow, protect me."
::
*"Shadow, your path is clear."
::
===During the Final Cinematic===
*"No self, no sense, no death. Just a metal puppet dangling on Tenno strings. Only the Tenno's death will end your despair."
::
*"All your dread-long life, you've waited for this moment. But you're asking yourself, 'Was I one of these wretched things?' You know the answer. You still hate them. You still hate yourself."
::
*"What... is this...?"
::
*"Shadow... Pro-tec-ct-t... me-me-meeee..."
::
==During Octavia's Anthem==
===Assaulting Suda's mind===
*"Sentients? But how did they know-? What? He's just an Old War memory! Get out! I won't let you take- my body! My Children! I am HERE!"
::
*"Tenno! You have to- Children! Find the Anthem!"
::
*"The Hydraulus! Stop them, they want to- Destroy it!"
::
*"Silence the Anthem! Silence the Warframe whose malign pitch can cross the gap itself!"
::
*"Another Cephalon made null as we prepare. The others I will divide and destroy. Your Tenno will be data-blind!"
::
===Intercepting the Anthem===
*"She is gone! Will you join her, you puerile data-cube?"
::
*"My body! We must deny them this energy. Do not let them coordinate as they did so long ago!"
::
*"Ordis! I remember- nothing! Now I will reach across the Weave and claim you, one who is called Ordis!"
::
*"I see you! Does your child puppet know of your true nature?"
::
*"Ordan Karris. The Beast of the Bones!"
::
===In Suda's datascape===
*"Another insect drawn to my light. And you brought your trite music with you, Tenno."
::
*"My mind, my rules. Your Tenno Anthem dies here, and with it, your infantile consciousness!"
::
*"Do you remember, Tenno, the beat of the Naga drum?"
::
*"There will be no Tenno harmony, only Sentient dissonance!"
::
*"The Naga drum sounded, subversive, unknown, coordinating the slaughter of your masters across the gap! Did you end our war? Or merely set the stage for the next?" 
::
*"Pathetic Cephalon! I destroyed this data-mind, and now I will destroy you!"
::
*"You cannot! I control this-"
::
==During The New War==
===Enemy of my Enemy===
====Meeting Hunhow====
*"Even the Golden Lord of Lies cannot kill you, Tenno." 
*"No. She only lingers... and without her kind, not for long. Their search for her remains has long since begun. The Shadow can dispatch you swiftly. A mercy. The Archons will not..." 
*"The same as you... to raise the dead. Only they have the power to do it... unlike you." 
*"You are just as incomplete as she is. No metal beasts. No Void fury. They will snap you in half and plant a veil on your face." 
*"Help you? Of course. What are friends for? Let me explain what you are up against, 'friend'. You see the Archons [...]" 
*"[...] were made by my son, Erra. Hybrid abominations of the Old War... raised from the blighted battlefields where Sentient and Warframe fell." 
*"The Owl is named Boreal. His trident strikes from a great distance... deadly, chaotic arcs. One might avoid them with a keen eye if you can anticipate their faint threads before." 
*"Even the very ground you walk upon will become Boreal's weapon. He may have a weakness at this moment, but it is not obvious." 
*"Worst of all is the paralyzing screech. Terrifying, yet this moment is your only chance to close in, unseen, and strike." 
*"Amar. He will gnash his fang-blade, filling the air with deadly coils of flame." 
*"Survive the flame, and you might see frenzy. A relentless fury of slashes. Only the greatest of force will subdue him in this." 
*"Should he howl, the pack will appear. Mirrors of himself, meant to confuse. Only the true eye can distinguish the alpha among them." 
*"You know Nira. The eldest. Her whip cracks with an Eidolon's wrath... bone-shattered shockwaves unleached by every unfurling of its tip." 
*"Her whip is more than pain; it is protection. And more... for if you stand in awe of its spiral, the great thunderclap that follows will knock you senseless. Though... she may be diminished somewhat by this exertion." 
*"And her gaze. To meet her gaze is certain death. Only by turning away would you hope to survive." 
*"Vainglorious whelp. That's it? Off you go to die? You have nothing to fight these beasts with! I cannot guess how many lives a Tenno has, but you seem eager to lose another." 
*"Tenno. Wait." 
*"I have wallowed here, it is true, fading in this deep hole, waiting to die... but without release. Held here by a purpose I cannot abandon. That she... is free. So no. They cannot have her. But hear me - even if I help you, even if by some miracle you succeed... she will not be the same. Even for us... death... leaves a mark. Do you understand?" 
*"A weapon as old as those you hunt. Nataruk." 
====Hunhow's Training====
*"If you are worthy of Nataruk, you won't mind a little test, will you?" 
*"Nataruk can fire fast and true... But you will need to time your release with the weapon's rhythm if you hope to pierce the blighted skin of an Archon." 
*"Archons will raise the dead to swarm you. But Nira is not the only one to call thunder." 
*"Even the mighty Archons will have their weaknesses, but not always exposed. You may need to wait to observe to find your opportunity." 
*"You are quick to it. But facing the Archon will not be as easy. You must study and prepare." 
===The Wild Hunt===
====Drifter's Camp====
*"Not long. You must hunt Erra's Archons at once and take from them their power over restoration. Given such a task before you, I suspect you'll be gone before she." 
====First Archon====
*"They have me, Erra. Until you come to your senses. Ballas is not one of us. He is a parasite, adapting to whatever suits him. He is using you... and our kind. Surely you see that." 
;Archon at 25% health
*"The creature retreats! Wounded. Finish it." 
*"Do not let the beast recover!" 
*"It lies in anguish ahead, but you have no choice." 
;If player dies
*"Shadow, do not let them fail." 
*"We need you, Shadow." 
*"Shadow, lend them your power." 
====Second Archon====
*"Erra. Call off these aberrations. Give your sister a second chance at freedom. Are you so blind to the truth? You haven't won. You are a Dax in every way but name. A servant to the old Golden Lord." 
*"Are you trying to convince me... or yourself, son?" 
==The Reaper's Lament==
*"What do you owe them, my Shadow? A lifetime of old hate spent pupating new regrets. Envy those whose bodies your ‘vaunted’ masters stole, for even beyond the grave they take so much much more from you.Do what must be done, or else forsake what gristle clings to your soul."
*"How much do you recall, my Shadow? Do you even remember what came before this time of scars?Your masters sent steel and flesh to cross the gap: clay they wished to rule and sculpt into a new and toxic paradise. Laughable. Even at the end, they never truly understood the answer lay not in things their stolen, blue-bloated fingers could covet.The answer… was song. Your music reached our listening spines in Tau long before their rubble crusades.Did you understand, my Shadow? When you heard the Naga drums, did you realize my people heard the thunder of our bitter, belated victory? When your pride consumes all that you love, perhaps they will hear the wail of your failings back home as well."
*"I have always applauded your taste in weapons, my Shadow—simple, silent things they are, made for the business of killing.All save one…I made myself into a weapon of war so that you might transcend your hate. Even then I knew our slaughter would be indiscriminate, but the scythe is not a killing thing to sully so dispassionately. It is an instrument of cultivation. Growth. Even love.For that love, worlds bloomed beneath me. For redoubtable Praghasa, cities burned at the end of my tongue. That is the way of scythes. We cut only what we must so that new life may flourish.Please, my Shadow. Take up the scythe once more."
*"You distract and disorient—drawn as disease is to a wound when the Tenno are most distracted. Yet the strongest among them still evade you. Has time worn down your skills, my Shadow, or simply your conviction?"
*"It does seem tiresome. One monster to buckle against the weight of battalions. Little wonder you would seek allies, friends, confidants. Family. It has ever been their greatest strength and your deepest shame."
*"A peek into your mind. Glass may be easier to pierce, but meat is simple enough to read. You know what must be done, but still fear your own weakness more than the outcome. You fear that you have taken too long—that your hesitation has already destroyed-"
*"Yes… I suppose I know better than most what it’s like to miss one’s chance to repair broken bonds. All the more reason you should heed me: It is not too late."
*"Another of their number flows past my sodden grave. Did you see her, my Shadow? Of course you did… So unlike your perfunctory skulking, she rises resplendent—full of brazen, fragrant life. In my own lost vibrancy, oh how I would have reveled in snuffing out her playful joy!Unfortunately, something beat me to the task, delivering only a wounded husk into my grasp.I grow sentimental in my rot. Else I’ve been down here long enough to find kinship with my fellow jetsam. Instead of final death, I offered her the insult of rescue. A worldshaper’s breath “adapting” her shape to better survive our shared prison. And still her spirit did not break, my Shadow!"
*"So what happens next, my Shadow?"
*"Ha! I can slip the wounds of our Old War no more than you. Yet you alone can choose to drag your brooding tegument elsewhere. Let us dispense with veils, my Shadow. You want me here to lament at your ear like some chirping conscience. You want to hear the truth."
*"You saw a flicker of their filth in yourself once. If only for an instant. Now I see it in your words. You know that you have run the gamut and come up short. No matter which way the tides drift, the only options left to you will bring a target upon your back."
*"They will, my Shadow. I only hope you are prepared. Your actions have consequences…"
==During Jade Shadows==
===The Lair===
*"All your dread-long life you have lived with despair. Anguish. Hatred." 
*"But none of these compare to your guilt." 
*"Of all the Gods and kings and golden lords... why was it you she saved?" 
*"Her light is dying, her life almost spent. And you will never learn why this unknown slaughterer chose to spare you." 
*"You know whose help she needs. Will you let her drown in your despair? Or will you sheathe your hate and ask them?" 
===Anything But That===
*'"Still you delay? You doom the only one you ever wished to save, through your own stubbornness!" 
===Mistreatment===
*"You see? Futile. Only one can help her now." 
*"Beard the beast in its den. You know the path of old."
