Specimen ID: NES007

Transcript

You place the specimen in one of Failsafe's new research bays.

"Hello, Captain! I have undergone an almost full upgrade! That includes improved specimen analysis…having favorite colors…and friendship. I hope you will appreciate all three."

Failsafe 3.0 is raring to get going with her new research bays and expanded capabilities.

Step 1

Vex can be found in many places through the system, but particularly on Nessus.

• Defeat Vex with {{Icon|Solar}} Solar damage to weaken their armor plating and expose more memory cores. This specimen's memory core shows signs of being updated by an outside user. Other Vex should be checked for similar signs of manipulation.
• Vex: x/100

If it looks like Vex experimentation and it smells like Vex experimentation… I think we can both guess who's conducting this experiment. Get it?

Step 2

Enter Breach Executable on the H.E.L.M. to collect data for Failsafe's continued research.

• Secure the data Failsafe needs by completing Echoes Encore, Echoes Battlegrounds, or collecting Extracted Data in the Breach Executable activity from the H.E.L.M. This prototype was enhanced with manipulated data to expand its memory. Failsafe requires more ambient data from interactions with Vex to continue her work.
• Extracted Data: x/150
• Vex bosses: x/100

One datum, two data, hypothesis.

Step 3

Vex drop their CPUs when rapidly defeated.

• The specimen has been manipulated in unexpectedly complex ways. Failsafe has run out of data to compare it to, and could use a fresh batch. Rapidly defeat Vex to acquire a large sampling of their CPUs.
• Rapidly defeated: x/100

Bring me their heads! Is that too bloodthirsty?

Step 4

Research Instrument Fabricated: Exotic Mission Hub Key - Unlocks a new Hub in Exotic mission "Encore."

• Speak with Failsafe in the H.E.L.M. to review her final specimen analysis report.
• Failsafe's Report reviewed

Uh… You know, I'll just tell you when you get here.

Failsafe: Captain, I was able to access the memory cores of the Exos you found. They were not pleasant. But they did have access codes and geological data about minerals. Not a thrilling read, but the descrambled codes might open up some doors. I'll send them to you.

Failsafe did not enjoy her task of combing through the Exo Prototype you brought her and is relieved to declare herself finished at last.

Along with a set of access codes she's pulled from this specimen, Failsafe passes you her full report.

Specimen Name: Exo Prototype #314

Report Summary: This prototype appears to have achieved sentience and has its own specific personality. It is unknown why it was discarded.

Research Instrument Fabricated: Exotic Mission Hub Key - Unlocks a new Hub in Exotic mission "Encore."

Step 5

The Exo Prototype can be placed in the specimen display at the H.E.L.M.

• Travel to the H.E.L.M. and place the Exo Prototype in your specimen collection.
• Specimen displayed

This is one specimen I will not be taking out to admire often, Captain. Or, I guess… I won't bug the frames to get it out and hold it up in front of my projection.
