==Synopsis==
This comic is set during the rise of the Grineer empire, in the Kuva Fortress. Councilor Vay Hek and Dr. Tengus discuss how obedient the Ghouls prototype would be to the Grineer, of which the doctor assures so before reminding him that the Grineer Queens themselves will be the audience of their creation.
Playing the "good host," the councilor wears a wig and a ruff before greeting his fellow Grineer generals and welcoming them to his presentation. The Grineer treat him with disdain and disrespect, while the Grineer Queens find his act insulting.
Apologizing, the councilor then shares his own vision to the Queens - A vision where the Grineer conquers the solar system without having to deploy a single ship or carrier, a conquest where an invasion of planets would simply mean seeding a batch of biomass bags from the orbit. He presents the Ghouls to the queens, stunning his entire audience with his creation.
In an act of betrayal, or perhaps as a deliberate stunt to showcase their ferocity to the Queens, the treacherous Tengus kicks Vay Hek into the Ghouls' enclosure, where he is torn apart by the cannibalistic creatures. Impressed by the display, the Queens order Tengus to reconstruct Hek with cybernetics, turning him into the creature the Tenno will eventually encounter. Vay Hek declares his transformation as magnificent, while all others are but maggots before him.
