===Investigate The Sound===
At Sanctum Anatomica, the Tenno approach the Void expanse behind the defeated The Man in the Wall's Vessel, encountering the Lotus waiting at the edge with a ringing KinePage. The Operator and Drifter appear simultaneously as the Lotus warns the former that she is being affected by The Man in the Wall and instructs only the latter to answer the call.
The Drifter is warped to an abandoned mall and encounter Albrecht Entrati's pet Kavat Kalymos, who leads them to another ringing pager. They are warped back to the present as the Lotus acknowledges they have created a link to the past and must find Albrecht before The Man in the Wall does, completing the quest.

The Lotus remains in her spot in the Sanctum Anatomica, monologuing to herself.
