Foreshadowing[]
- Upon logging in on October 27, 2017

- Upon logging in after the third transmission had played
- Lotus: "I have received word from Konzu. The Infested boil that once threatened the Plains of Eidolon, it has grown back, uglier and more putrid than ever. Remain on standby, I may need you at a moment's notice." (download, history)
- Konzu's new dialogue prompt on November 6, 2017 (Infestation?)
- Konzu: "Infestation. My uncle, Hinmun, sold minerals aboard a market near Eris. Quite popular with deep-system traders. At least it was. They were broadsided by one of these boils. It spread fast. They could have run, risked taking it with them. Instead, they turned off life support and blew out escape pods. Decades later, it still orbits Eris. Writhing. One voice repeating the same message over and over: ‘We are death. Leave us, and do not look back.' My uncle's voice. Fail here, Tenno, and that will be the fate of Cetus: to be a warning for the living, from a place where none may tread." (download, history)
- Konzu's idle dialogue
- Konzu: "First the stars went wrong... and now the air. Can you smell it? Master Teasonai... his animals... they smell it too. Sweet, like a wound gone bad. These days, none of us sleep easy." (download, history)
- Konzu: "When the sun is low, scouts report seeing things – shadows – moving inside the boil. Stay close, Tenno. Stay close." (download, history)

Interacting with Konzu[]

- Konzu: "Dark times, killer. In times past we've lost entire markets – entire clades – to the Infestation. That cannot happen here. Cetus must survive." (download, history)
- Upon accepting Plague Star Bounty
- Konzu: "The Infestation... I was beginning to think it would never touch us here. That it was a thing that happened ‘out there'. To others. [sigh] Naïve. I need you to take Vay Hek's toxin and kill the boil." (download, history)
During Plague Star Bounties[]
- Upon entering the Plains of Eidolon
- Konzu: "First Vay Hek thinks, ‘I will let this plague run wild over Cetus.' Then he thinks, ‘I will use poison to exterminate the Infestation once its work is done.' The Quills see doom in his plan, for Grineer and Ostron alike. The boil needs to be destroyed now, before it becomes unstoppable." (download, history)

Aftermath[]
- Konzu: "You know, Konzu doesn't get emotional. But this place? Cetus is more than our home, Tenno. It is the center of our universe. My uncle, he died protecting his. And you, you fought to protect ours. My uncle's voice still echoes a warning. But this place? our voice? will echo forever. As a welcome. A beacon to anyone who needs a home. Okay, a little emotional, maybe. The Unum chose well when she sent you to us. Dah-dap! Now, get back to work." (download, history)
