Nor was pleased, his mind now focusing on fighting the battles that he can manage, aboard the second Galleon being repurposed for the Felguard's use with any reference to the Meridian being sealed up for later delivery, maybe trick a Corpus or Grineer in taking them off their hands. But that could wait as he breathed and stood up from the captain's position and headed down to the boarding docks and walked on through the number of crews that worked on the interior with the working Drudges and Dregs working on the exterior, repairing what they can and sealing off sections to ensure that none are lost to space.
A boon indeed with another Galleon at their side, it wasn't going to be useful in combat as a Galleon without its weapons is just a massive target for pain. Reentering Felheim, Nor headed down to the engineering bay to Wraith guiding the efforts of constructing a weapon production system for the starting weapons; Grakatas, Cleavers, and the rare Sobeks before he noticed the commander and motioned the laborers to begin as he faced Medaz' "Milord, what can I do for you?"
"I need some action, did our scans locate any troubles in the system?"
"Yes, but there is... an issue." Wraith walked over to the central terminal as it displayed a Galleon on the rim of Mercury and that was the issue...
...It was drifting, no crew to man it and no system active onboard except for emergency power. "Grineer forces had reported the presence of a Tenno aboard this Galleon, but then the comms were cut short, something aboard is causing some form of interference on this ship and your mission is to find out what is on this ship and reroute it from any population center, civilian or Grineer."

Nor nodded at he thought it through, an abandoned Galleon on the rim, drifting toward some known center of lives and could impact if it don't change. "Understood, have a shuttle get me on that ship and let me see what is there." Nor readied himself for action and headed out, the shuttle lifting off as he saddled himself in, ready to face whatever is onboard the Galleon...

The shuttle landed in the ship and Nor stepped off, looking about in concern, this was much worse than he had guessed, the welcoming party was diced to pieces with knives and arrows sticking out of some, but it was the blood-red color that put him off. "Shut the ship down, don't risk yourself with the engine."
"Yes, Milord." The pilot whispered as the ship shut down, Nor activing his suit lights before moving in, Marelok out with the override tool in hand. He went through and out of the hanger as he swept the area, his suit the only stable light that could tell him anything as he came closer to the navigation, the normal site down in the storage bay as he moved on until he stopped, a live Grineer reaching out in yells of pains from the pile of crates that fell on his legs, Nor dashing over and, setting the override down and sheathing the Marelok, lifted the crates away and dragged the soldier out, a Trooper from the look of it as he removed his mask in thanks.
"My thanks, sir, but I am afraid you are a little late to save any here." Nor gripped the Trooper's hand as he inquired.
"What happened here, where is the Tenno?" The Trooper pointed to the window and Nor understood, the Tenno was gone already, but that was not the end as the Trooper started to speak.
"The Tenno... they came for the reactor... just the reactor to slow us from arriving to Mercury under... orders of finding remains of Vor's army that has started to cause a number of... issues." The breathing was wheezing as he tried to talk. "But... something else happened... the lights started to flicker, static filled our comms and the Tenno... the Warframe started to panic..." Nor gripped tighter as it was key to understand what went down as his other hand soon found a knife in the chest plate, missing the heart, but not by much. "As if on... time, IT came... a Tenno of dark red and black as... the ship locked down without... anyone at the controls..."

"A Tenno...?"
"Yes... but it was... vile, malice grew toward its ally as the first Tenno hacked our... systems and escape... its hunter sparing none as it... gave chase for its would-be comrade..." Nor let the Trooper speak as he was dying, nothing that could be done for him now. "Don't know where it is... but, with the ship drifting... it is only a matter... of time before someone suffers for our... lack of action."
"Rest now, you have done enough..." The Trooper attempted to nod, but his head stopped short as it drooped to the side and the breathing stopped, Nor shaking his head as he stood up and picked up the device and left the body behind, Marelok drawn again as he searched further. Thinking about it deeply, Nor had heard of such a Tenno, a darkened soul that slays everything in its path as it chases after other Tenno and ends the chase with a kill of Tenno, a hunter of a warrior who does not ally, does not trust, and does not sleep for anything. Nor pressed on through to the bay and found the terminal to reroute the ship, directing it toward Ceres with the override, someone else can fill it in anew as Nor finished the final touches. "There, that should turn the ship around, now I need to..."
He stopped as the sound of steps echoed in the storage bay and he looked up, a glowing aura moving through the containers before he shut the lights off, pitching himself in darkness as he slowly moved through the upper levels and catching the sight that inspired fear in so many soldiers. Its slender frame was very like a Tenno, but form alone did not change the sight, a stoic figure, bow in hand with two pouches of the same knives that ended the crew, a massive scythe on the back as the figure looked about and seemed to whisper in a eerie voice. "You can run, Tenno, but you cannot hide." Nor didn't need a statement, the being was still searching for the Tenno, not realizing that it was already gone and that it was killing off the crew in a vain search, one that Nor did not need as he crept on through the Galleon once again, but this time, he was using the shadows to his advantage as the being was able to warp, one second in a room and the next in the same room as Nor. "The murder of Vor will not go unpunished." There was something, the figure is hunting the Tenno down for the death of... Vor?
Nor paused in the shadows and started to think, the being has only appeared in the pursuit of Tenno and it was often for the punishment of a unique member, a high-ranking Grineer or Corpus official or a greater mutation of the Infested, something like that is impossible to miss, could this 'Stalker' be a self-declared agent of 'justice' or was it holding on to...

The idea was unfound, but... what if the being had seen something, something that made the Tenno guilty in its eyes, a crime that could only be remedied by blood of the Tenno? Nor shook it out as he headed for the hanger, the shift of the ship apparent as he knocked on the glass of the cockpit and the pilot bolted up, only to remain silent as Nor raised a finger and the hatch was opened carefully, Nor moving to enter before his gut kicked in, jumping away from the hatch as a knife slammed into a seat, the Stalker catching up to him, a hand drawing back an arrow as the pilot closed the hatch back up and hid as per Nor's orders in case anything happened. "Grineer..."
"You know of me, but I don't know of you." Machete drawn, Nor sheathed the Marelok as he eyed the being. "What is your mission here to nearly cause an incident?"
"Silence." The arrow flew and Nor jumped out of its path, the speed enough to nearly put bullets to shame. "You have no right to know of my mission."
"Clearly enough if I had to wait beside a soldier as he died slowly." Nor rushed it and more arrow came at him, most of them dodged and some slashed in half as the being resorted to a different tactic, sheathing the bow onto the back as the scythe came free and it jumped, blade overhead as Nor took to a slide under, the impact still strong to cause Nor a bit of uneasy footing before shaking it off and engaged, the blade striking the shaft in a guard before being swung to the side and catching the blade with its own, both strong in holding the ground until Nor took notice that it was trying to offset him, bit of movement here and there meaning that the Stalker was not above using dangerous tactics to get what it seeks, the answer coming as the Stalker used a burst of strength to toss Nor overhead and throw a knife at him, his hand catching it just in time as he rolled into a crouching position before dropping the weapon and quick drawing the Marlelok as he fired a few rounds which impacted before the figure vanished in smoke, Nor searching as he was careful, listening as the voice echoed around him.
"You are nothing, you who works for golden prizes, you have not the strength nor will to fight what made your masters happy and ended their lives without a thought." Nor couldn't hit a target that was using a teleportation skill unless he knew where they were going to reappear at. "You stand in the path of vengeance, you will perish with not one to care or believe in you, your hands are of rock, not blood."

"I have nothing to say more to a soul who is blinded by such ignorance."
"Die." The Stalker reappeared and loosed an arrow, aimed for Nor's heart, but quickly turning, his shoulder was the only thing pierced as he felt the circuit get cut before pointing the Marelok and fired in the short period, the bullet slamming into the Stalker's skull as it whispered in horror and angst. "What have you... done...?" It disappeared from sight as Nor stood up, sheathing the Marelok and picking up his Machete before tapping on the glass and the hatch opened as Nor got on and the shuttle left as the pilot asked.
"What in the name of the Orokin WAS that!?"
"Something that dates back to the Orokin..." Nor said as he plucked the knife from the seat, its companion and the arrow also beside him as he continued. "Something that dates back... to our enslavement..."

"An oddity..." Wraith said as Nor looked at the figure, now seen on the display as a replacement arm was made. "This being was in pursuit of the Tenno, but was no friend?"
"No, it was very hostile, yet its words were cryptic." Rolling the still-usable arm, Nor continued. "It knew about the Grineer origins and its behavior is that of a hunter..."
"A... hunter?" Wraith questioned as the new arm was completed and he started to engineer it into its new socket, the medical patchwork from Hur Ben already cleaning up the mess from the battle.
"It hunts down any Tenno that has killed a high-ranking foe, someone or something that warranted concern for the system that the Tenno themselves had to kill it, but this being was speaking about the 'murder' of Captain Vor, it is not a death to it, it is a murder, a crime..." Nor hissed as the new limb aligned and he flexed it for full function. "It wants retribution for something that happened to the Orokin, something that involved the Tenno."
"Hmmm..." Wraith paused as he thought about it before motioned Nor to follow, the leader getting up from the station and into Wraith's personal quarter, the whole room going dark as Wraith spoke. "The timeframe to this being's statement is flawed, but it is in my understanding, Milord, that this had occurred a long time ago, an era of golden lords..."

"The Orokin..."
"Yes, the being is within a Warframe of darkened material and it is referring to the Fall of the Orokin, a time when the Orokin, at their greatest moment, were slain for unknown reasons."
"A history lesson that is not involved with the Grineer truth..." Nor folded his arms as Wraith nodded and continued.
"Indeed, it is a mystery of what had occurred back then and I will never have the full picture, but with this small tone and meaning, I know something is true..." The Heretek turned as if to plead innocent for the next words. "...The Tenno are not the great warriors that we may think they are..."
"That depends on the people and supporters..." Nor leaned on the terminal, palms on the machine as the Heretek watched. "The Tenno may not be without fault, but if they are responsible for the end of the Orokin, they must have had a reason to kill their masters at the moment of victory..." Nor shook his head as the light came back on and the Felguard commander inquired. "These thoughts are important to find, but I need combat to keep it sharp, what is the next mission?"

"Oh, I thought you would have never asked..." Both headed out with Nor gaining a new mission as he now had a working Galleon on his side and the ship was ready for Wraith's mission...

"We'll be dropping out of void warp in t-minus ten."
"Keep the path clear, battle is in our path!" Nor shouted as the Galleon soon came out into a combat zone, over Mars, the Galleon coming to stride with an Obelisk as Nor commanded. "Riddle those merchants hard from starboard, bring that ship down!" Soon, a volley of rounds pounded the Corpus ship, taking damages across the board as its shields were down and it started to rupture as Nor called out. "Get me a long shot from port side, we have a small cluster coming in!" Rounds pounded in the void of space as the Corpus attack squad scattered from the shots, too late to notice a small dispatch coming in and taking them on as Nor focused ahead, the planet swarmed by Obelisk and Galleon alike as they contested for parts of the planet, Nor snarling as he called it out. "I need a scan, find me the modified Obelisk NOW!"
"Yes, Milord!" The scans went out as the batteries damaged the Corpus fleet before one finally hit, the Obelisk was trying to make a break for it before Nor called it.
"Blast a round into the engines, let's get that ship to flounder!" The Galleon turned and its starboard cannons fired, the shields catching a majority of rounds, but not enough as a few managed to pierce and the engines exploded as the Galleon headed for the ship, Nor knowing the prize as he focused on getting the Corpus out of the way, the ship Minds doing their best in getting close as Nor issued his orders to the pod crews. "Take no prisoners, I want that ship terminated with its crew and provide support for any captured personnel onboard, get it done men."
"Sir yes sir!" The ship rattled as Nor kept the pace, focus fire blasting the Corpus ships to pieces, shields or not while the smaller guns ensured that the smaller fools couldn't get close enough to cause enough damage to matter. The pods were fire, three to each and impacted into the Corpus ship, the shields gone to boost the ship out of the combat zone in vain. Nor thought back to Wraith's words on this mission.

'There is an ongoing conflict on the surface of Mars, but some of the ships to the Corpus have been modified to be larger and more armored, my opinion being that they are improved prison ships. I want you, Milord, to destroy the ship and rescue any members aboard one of those and find out what could be causing the Corpus to act on this.'
Nor nodded as he returned to the battle, the Galleon holding up well in the face of breaking Corpus ships with ally Galleons taking the chance and blasting the runners quick with them as the voices swarmed the comms. "Fight on, men!","Coming around the side!", "Blast that ship!" It also was followed by a number of Grineer speaking in their language, but mostly in English from the commanders as Nor called it out as well, his Galleon supporting as well before he got comms from the squads onboard.
"Sir, our lead was right, there are Grineer personnel aboard, requesting permission to extract all members before termination of the ship!"
"Acknowledged, take out the weapon systems and shuttles will be inbound to extract!" He cut the channel and turned to the Minds. "Prime our missile weapons, take out the Obelisk's guns before we start launching shuttles!" The salute was given and the Galleon barraged again, missiles striking the rising shields, but the guns were not saved as the missiles crashed into the exterior of the ship, several areas pulling Corpus Moas and Crewmen into the vacuum of space before shutters closed and combat continued as Nor watched for all sides before he spotted trouble, a pair of Obelisk moving to barrage his Galleon within their firepower before an idea hit him, several of the Galleons were yet to find zones to strike and this was a perfect shot, a large area for them to hit as he turned to the open channel. "Requesting deployment of Galleons in sector seven-two-five, repeat deployment in sector seven-two-five." Nor bit his tongue as he gauged it, the location was going to be close and right behind the Obelisks if they do come, Nor focusing as the Obelisks started to close in as he moved a hand to the fire controls, knowing that it was going to be a close call, just as a pair of Galleons warped in and caught the whole flank by surprise, their cannons blasting the surprised Obelisks in a short time as the Corpus orbital front started to crumble, Nor smiling as the teams reported in.

"Team Alpha successful in planting explosives!"
"Team Beta successful in saving west side personnel!"
"Team Char successful in saving east side personnel!"
"Team Delta successful in securing hanger bay!"
"Excellent word, all teams report to hanger bay for pick up!" Nor got out of his seat and gave the order to the rest of the crew, onboard the Galleon. "Carry on with your intended missions until I return and we leave this battle zone, is that clear!?"

"Yes, Sir!" Nor dashed for their hanger bay and was not disappointed as the shuttles started to take off, supplying more troops and transports to the teams on the oppressed ship. The rattle of space getting tougher before it eased away and Nor bolted out as his Hind came out, picking out targets left and right as they extracted out, one shuttle at a time as the Corpus forces started to grow.
"Sir, there are too many, we need to extract!"
"We never surrender, keep them back!" Nor shouted as a Prod tried and failed with Nor throwing the guy on the floor and crushing his head with anger before continuing his fire. "Start pulling back with ammo stores!" The message was clear, only fall back if you are running out of ammo, but the soldiers were tasting full combat here and were terrified, were they going to live or die on this ship. Those thoughts were thwarted as the last of the shuttles arrived and they started to board as Nor held the donation switch, the ships flying out as he smiled. "Boom."
The button pressed, the ship started to erupt in fire and power as the shockwaves shook the ships before they landed in the hanger, safe and sound as Nor got off and sighed as he headed back up to see the state of battle, the Corpus quickly withdrawing with what remains and the Grineer cheered in victory as the commander made the call. "Get us down planet side, some of these rescues have places there and we have to grant their wishes."
"At once, Sir!" The Galleon flew on down to the surface as the rest headed on patrol, keeping a watchful eye out for the Corpus...

Nor breathed as members were returned, brothers-in-arms and comrades in the craft, something that he was not expecting, but pleased nevertheless as he turned back to the shuttle as a voice called out. "Is that you, Nor?" He turned back to find a Hyekka Master walking toward him as she moved in angst, but this is just the master's usual stature. "You have some nerve showing your face around here, Vay Hek is quite... livid about your betrayal."
"Never said otherwise, I even told the powerful figure that I am going to start something that didn't involve him and he was still livid about it."
"So, is your endeavor going... or is it dying?"
"It lives, just so we are clear." The Hyekkas hissed, but the Master reigned them back as she spoke in a pleased tone.
"So... I suppose that now your mission here is done, you will be going or... is there room for a blind Hyekka Master to join?" Nor stepped to the side and the Hyekkas leaded the way aboard as Nor just breathed.

"Some of these days, I wish I was dealing with rogues, not crafty members..." Nor shook his head and the shuttle headed up with his boarding and they left the planet, the mission completed and for Wraith's assessment...
