Collection part 2
Surrounded on all sides by the infested, Taylor and Anet are fighting side by side. Suddenly Anet calls, "Taylor!"
"Yes?"
"Transfer."
"Ugh!"
"Transfer faster!"
"I'm trying! Why are we doing this on a bait mission?"
"Motivation! Transfer again!"
"Gngh, Aaarrgh!"
"Don't worry, I'm reviving you."
"Anet!"
"Yes Taylor?"
"Next time, don't take the challenge mission."
"Are you having trouble without your abilities then?"
"Anet, we're acting as bait, I'm learning how to use transference without dying, and the air supply is running out. What do you think?"
"I think that there's a life support drop on that balcony and you're the only one that can reach it in time."
"What do you mean? I can't jump that."
"Transfer mid jump."
The Lotus pops up, "You have 5 seconds of air remaining."
"Gnnng!"
"Life support activated"
"Well done Taylor. I still can't believe I sounded like that."
"Anet, why did I have to leave my amp at home again?"
"Because you're not used to using your natural weapons."
The Lotus pops up again, "Well done Tenno, look what our operatives found."
"Down! I'm trying that spinny laser thing."
"Taylor, that wasn't a cluster laser, that was just you spinning round firing lasers."
The Lotus pops up yet again, "Tenno, I have detected a transference signature on Jupiter. Navigation has been updated."
Then again, immediately afterwards, "Tenno, life support is at critical levels, evacuation is available."
"Taylor, get back to your warframe!"
"Getting, urk, aarrgh!"
"Don't worry, I'm reviving you again."
"Nnngh, Anet, when we get out of here."
"We're getting out of here, let's go."
"Hey! Wait for me."
The Lotus pops up in their view, "10 seconds remaining, evacuation is your only option"

As the Lander docks with the orbiter, Taylor turns to Anet, "Anet, I just want to say thank you for pushing me like that. I know that I sounded ungrateful."
"Taylor, you were doing fine until the 25 minute mark, when the main bulk of the infested made their way from the far ends of the ship."
"It didn't feel like I was."
Anet takes Taylor's hands, "Taylor, when we started the mission you couldn't have transferred mid air, and void jumped immediately. Granted, I was expecting you to fly to the balcony, but you still did it."
"I was still disorientated though."
"That's not the important thing. The important thing is that the disorientation didn't stop you from being able to act. You still need to work on the reverse, but you've made astonishing progress."
