Step #1 - Visit Roky in Fortuna

Upon completion of the quest “Vox Solaris”, the player will receive an inbox message from Roky, one of the Ventkids, asking for help. Head to Fortuna to visit Boon, and there you will find that Roky got hurt while in possession of a Graphica, a sort of comic or graphic novel.

Boon explains that they found Roky in a comatose state, and on her possession was the Waverider #1, a comic featuring an illustration of Yareli, now locked, which could be the reason why Roky is wounded. Knowing there is zero chance that Nef Anyo's will help repair Roky, Boon asks the Tenno to unlock the Graphica, so he can tell Roky the story when she wakes up.

Step #2 - Unlocking the Graphica

After you return to the Orbiter, the Waverider #1 can be found on the Codex table. It contains a total of 5 pages and each page is unlocked by performing K-Drive feats.

Is at this point when Nef Anyo suddenly interjects, implying that he made some sort of deal with Roky and taunts Boon and the Tenno talking about her injury. Boon defiantly responds that the Ventkids won't give in.

Nef Anyo reveals that he brokered a deal with Roky, agreeing to remove all of the Ventkids' debt for occupying his vents if they surrender the completed Graphica to a mysterious buyer he has waiting on Deimos.

The Waverider - Unlock Page 5

  • Earn 3,600 Ventkids Reputation in a single K-Drive Race

  • Earn 2000 points in a K-Drive trick chain

Nef Anyo grows impatient, demanding the completed Graphica. However, Boon invites the Tenno to return to the Ventkids. After returning to Fortuna, Nef Anyo calls off the deal, since apparently the buyer was spooked, agreeing instead to purchase the ventilation shafts where the Ventkids live in.

Roky awakens and Boon fills her in on the completed Graphica, revealing that he found out the Deimos buyer is Grandmother, who received the Graphica in exchange for an elixir to heal Roky, and bought out their home which effectively removes all their debts.
