Vor's Prize review, Part 2. Wake up Tenno.

So Chimera is out, and this is overdue. yeah.....
Fortuna this week too

Tenno, you're safe. But your work isn't done yet

Now that you've escaped Vor, you need to prepare a counter attack. First you need to get that Ascaris off your leg. After completing the previous mission you have extracted with the arsenal segment to your ship. It turns out that while Ordis and your ship were impounded, the Grineer looted everything, except for the somatic link and the helminth rooms (not important and wont open yet). Lotus plans to help you by finding someone to remove the Ascaris. First you have to make contact with him. Lotus has found a replacement for your lost communications segment on E Prime ( a mission node on Earth.)

When deploying to this mission you get your first taste of the SPY mission type; where you go to Data vaults and hack them. this is a decent tutorial for alarms.

Now that your communications are back up you install them into the market segment, ignore it that's a bad choice to install it into and I think DE actually for once TRIES to get you to spend.
But this gets you in contact with the system, and here you can invite friends to your session and have them help you. Next thing to do is rescue Darvo "Deal" Bek, a Corpus Black Market man, from the Grineer.
Darvo is a very interesting well made con man of a character (he has a pretty cool accent to the likes of Cassian Andor and Helmut Zemo, but not as thick, and less fluent in english feeling)
Darvo is in prison because he wouldn't sell his wares to the Grineer. This is a rescue mission which requires you to go through the tileset, but once you get close you gotta be careful, if the WARDEN EXIMUS guards see you and trigger the alarms it will begin a  countdown to kill the prisoner. you have to hack the door to let Darvo out.

Soon the worm will be in your spine and I will control this Warframe of yours... I will purge your doting mother and bring you home

So Darvo has given you a blueprint to take care of the Ascaris. But you don't have a way to make it. so you'll need to get back the Foundry segment for your Orbiter. You've also recovered the mods segment so you can equip and upgrade mods for weapons and warframes in your arsenal.
Throughout this quest you've been getting cracked/flawed mods which are less powerful than their regular counterparts and these are a good starting way to understand how they can boost your equipment. 

Lotus (Space Mom) has contacted some miners who will have a foundry segment for you, no trouble right? Turns out the Grineer got here and slaughtered the miners. So grab the segment, and begin your first ever Exterminate mission type. Kill a certain amount of baddies, then extract. (it's counted as an endless mission so they'll keep spawning) You'll get a normal mod named Fury It's for melee weapons and increases swing speed. This is in addition to more flawed mods.

So you CAN build it, but with what? Your foundry can't work with no resources. So Darvo gives you info on a Corpus outpost. This is the only corpus node you'll ever play on earth as it's a Grineer-controlled planet. 
Now you're probably wondering, who are the Corpus? Well the Corpus are like the Trade Federation, they're a commercial military with robotic proxy units. They wear spacesuits usually and use energy weapons over ballistics and animals.

This mission is not any specific type. You are tasked with locating and opening resource caches which will contain an exact amount of resources that you will need. This will mainly be a chance to practice against these baddies. Darvo mentions that the Corpus are moral garbage compared to the fact that you're stealing. They'll sell anything to anyone. 
You thought we were done with Vor? nope!
Image result for captain vor what a wasteVor's cut of all transmissions from Darvo and Lotus, He's insisting that you will come to him over your own will. You will need to get back to the ship and craft the negator.
Once you craft it and remove it you run into its final hiccup.

"What a waste"

The Ascaris has a tamper failsafe built in, and it will detonate if you cant deactivate it by killing the guy with the controller. Yep, VOR HIMSELF. You must find him, and quickly. Your next mission will acquire your navigation segment (even though you already have it?) and give you the location of Vor.
You will board a Grineer Galleon (green spaceship) and recover it. Then you get your first chance to try a sabotage mission type. Once you have recovered the segment Lotus tells you that the ship is on a path to attack a colony. You can save them by destroying the ships reactor or you can extract, Lotus tells you to extract but it's your choice. however inconsequential the choice is. Seriously no repercussions at all for rewards or anything.

Now to face Vor: He's on the asteroid tileset on earth (much like the original mission on Tolstoj Mercury) You will get your first taste of an Assassination Mission. You make your way to Vor and Fight him.

"Foolish Tenno, Do you realize Your Lotus has sent you to DIE?"

Vor has a pistol and the Janus Key. He will fire rounds at you and use the key to spit energy orbs onto the floor, these will latch to you and drain health and shields quickly so stay away from those, stay at range on the platform and don't use melee combat. There will be additional Grineer trying to kill you.
When you smack down his health he will gain an invulnerable state and get more Grineer to attack you. Vor will tend to teleport around to keep you off guard so make sure you can keep moving. In addition he will use the Key as a beam attack. Once you hit him enough you will have killed him (although for continuity mess-ups, he wont truly die until you get to Ceres, even though he gets CUT IN HALF)
You will have Finished Vor's Prize upon extraction. Excellent job, the system needs you. and the next quests you can do are Saya's Vigil and Once Awake.
but for now that's all I have to write. Dream, not of what you are, but of what you want to be.

Look at them, they come to this place when they know they are not pure. Tenno use the keys, but they are mere trespassers. Only I, Vor, know the true power of the Void. I was cut in half, destroyed, but through its Janus Key, the Void called to me. It brought me here and here I was reborn. We cannot blame these creatures, they are being led by a false prophet, an impostor who knows not the secrets of the Void. Behold the Tenno, come to scavenge and desecrate this sacred realm. My brothers, did I not tell of this day? Did I not prophesize this moment? Now, I will stop them. Now I am changed, reborn through the energy of the Janus Key. Forever bound to the Void. Let it be known, if the Tenno want true salvation, they will lay down their arms, and wait for the baptism of my Janus key. It is time. I will teach these trespassers the redemptive power of my Janus key. They will learn its simple truth. The Tenno are lost, and they will resist. But I, Vor, will cleanse this place of their impurity.
