The New Strange is a side quest in Warframe, released in Update 16.0. It continues the story from the Stolen Dreams quest, where you'll help Cephalon Simaris uncover a mysterious voice and a rogue Warframe. Prerequisite: You must have completed the Stolen Dreams quest before starting The New Strange. ### Missing Sentinels: Nuovo, Ceres Your first task is on Nuovo, Ceres. Cephalon Simaris needs you to rescue his Sentinels from a Grineer Shipyard Prison Complex. This starts as a Rescue mission. After you free the Sentinels (they'll appear as three special Helios that vanish once the door is open), the Lotus, suspicious of Simaris, will ask you to find the facility's data vault. This turns into a Spy mission. You'll need to infiltrate the vault and hack a data console. Be warned: there's an implicit alarm sound when you get close to the vault, and the mission fails if you run out of time. There's no visible timer, so using a Cipher is a good idea to avoid replaying the mission. After retrieving the data, you might need to exterminate remaining enemies or simply extract.
