'FUCK FUCK FUCK! WHY DID I HAD TO JINX MYSELF?!' - Operator's thoughts
The Tenno runs out of a cave through the many ruined battlefields, followed by a horde of Anarch soldiers chasing them. It was supposed to be a simple mission! Check out the site, get the artifact item, and extract! Yet at the last moment, THE TENNO JUST HAD TO JINX THEMSELVES ONCE THEY GOT SPOTTED BY A ANARCH SCOUT!
Anyway, the Tenno uses their various moments in Excalibur Prime to maneuver across the terrain, but the Makvos Cannons firing on their FUCKING positions is making this escape WAY TO DIFFICULT.
"Valdur, where is the ship?!" - Operator
Valdur's voice spoke through the coms.
"The ship is almost there, keep moving!" - Valdur on comms
Then Adis spoke through the comms as well.
"Careful Ten-no, detecting a lot Anarch Grineers coming your position!" - Adis on comms
'...OH FOR VOID'S SAKE- ' - Operator's thoughts
The Operator looks back and yep, they're there alright. The Tenno keeps evading their gunfire, as well as avoiding the Makvos Cannons firing aimlessly on their location. Eventually the Tenno got far enough away that they can eventually check over this...artifact they were supposed to capture.
The design of it is...weird...not Orokin Tech too. It seems...like a different civilization made this artifact...but who and what exactly. It also doesn't seemed to have a function to activate...maybe?
But before the Tenno can ponder more, the dropship finally arrived. And as the doors open, the Anarchs have finally catched up and opened fire again. The Tenno immediately sprint inside as the doors closed.
"I'm in! PILOT, PUNCH IT!" - Operator
"Understood- Wait-" - Prime Grineer Pilot
The pilot looks through the cockpit window. From outside as from the crowd of Anarchs firing at the dropship, one of the troops had a missile launcher in their hands as they then fire the missile at the dropship, more specifically the engines, as the missile indicator alarmed beeped on the pilot's console.
"MISSILE IMBOUND, BRACE FOR IMPACT!" - Prime Grineer Pilot
'OH NO- ' - Operator's thoughts
As the missile hit the dropship's engines, it took the blast, but it shook the cockpit and in midst of trying to regain balance, the artifact accidentally fell from the Tenno's hands and slammed onto the floor, cracking.
The Tenno panicked. OH NO, IT CRACKED. WHAT IS THE TENNO SUPPOSED TO DO NOW?!
Then the artifact starts making weird noises. Then electricity sparked around it, and then? it become...active?!
'WAIT WHAT-?!' - Operator's thoughts
The Tenno stares in shock of the artifact as it then hovers up in the air. It's power swelling around it. The Tenno felt some sort of danger, but before they can act on it, the Artifact suddenly shot look-alike bolts of electricity of unknown origin at the Tenno, as they screamed inside their warframe. Then suddenly the Warframe collapses as the Operator was somehow removed from the Warframe.
Then a single bolt hits their head and they froze...
And just after a few seconds, they collapsed to the ground, knocked out cold...

"Tauron Academy Control, we're clear of Anarch attacks, we're RTB!" - Prime Grineer Pilot
"Good work. Tenno, what have you recovered from the site? Did you get the artifact?" - Valdur on comms
...
"Tenno?" - Valdur on comms
...
"Ten-no, are you there?" - Adis on comms
...
"Ten-no?! TEN-NO!!!" - Adis on comms
