You should not have come here.
This is not a place of honor. No great deed is commemorated here.
Nothing of value is here.
What is here is dangerous and repulsive.
We considered ourselves a powerful culture. We harnessed the hidden fire,
and used it for our own purposes.
Then we saw the fire could burn within living things, unnoticed until it destroyed them.
And we were afraid.
We built great tombs to hold the fire for one hundred thousand years,
after which it would no longer kill.
If this place is opened, the fire will not be isolated from the world,
and we will have failed to protect you.
Leave this place and never come back.

"[Salmonids] inhabit a restricted ocean zone, and any unauthorized contact with them is expressly forbidden by law."

"Infestation. My uncle, Hinmun, sold minerals aboard a market near Eris. Quite popular with deep-system traders. At least, it was. They were broadsided by one of these boils. It spread fast. They could have run; risked taking it with them. Instead, they turned off life support and blew out escape pods. Decades later, it still orbits Eris, writhing. One voice repeating the same message, over and over, 'We are death. Leave us, and do not look back.' My uncle's voice. Fail here, Tenno, and that will be the fate of Cetus. To be warning for the living. From a place where none may tread."
— Konzu, Warframe, "Operation: Plague Star"
Though most areas of the planet are restricted and guards are often ordered to shoot unidentified personnel on sight, if you stay in the Light Green Zone you should have no problems avoiding personal injury and death. Be sure to avoid the Blue-Green and Turquoise Zones as well as the Stix Zone. The Red and Yellow Zones are safe for travel, though the Yellow is often confused with the Off-White and Peach Deadly Areas. Many a color-blind traveler has been killed by accident.
