With Shockwave starting, it's really funny imagining that *this* is my Operator's introduction to the Hex. He's the one holding down the fort in the Origin System, so he's been listening to Nora for years. Now, Nora's taking a well deserved vacation, cool, cool. There's a new mission control giving him the same old to-do list...

It also implies that Vey Hek knows what that is, which, given his whole... situation, is really funny.

So, you know the music that plays down in La Cathedrale and within Descendia? Cool Latin lyrics that never got an official release to my knowledge? "The Cardinal Calls" and "Roses from the Abyss", to use the songs' proper names. I've had them on my mind as of late for unaccountably non-Warframe related reasons and tried my hand at transcribing them. Turns out, it is very difficult to transcribe a language you do not speak. My attempts were coming up with the occasional cogent word or phrase, but could not string together a narrative. My desperation put me in a rather dark place and led me down a path seldom travelled: I asked Matthew Chalmers, the composer of the tracks, on Twitter directly.

After a few rounds with friends on the Dog Days night map, an idea suddenly hit me.

I'm genuinely so glad that people are learning how MUCH Amir is a sassy smart mouth and not just a puppy boy that people kinda turned him into. He's SO quick with it and he is MEANNNN when he wants to be! He's funny! He's smart and witty!
