I’m sorry if this is told somewhere else, either in game or in this subreddit, but I can’t find anything else regarding this.

The lotus awakened the tenno after a long time in stasis. She originally put them in stasis for whatever reason. As far as I know, there isn’t an explanation as to why the lotus awakened us at that point. Was she only just able to?

Probably inconsequential question, but Quincy asking us about how we're "from space" had me wondering if we actually are. Before the Zariman, we were just a regular kid, and the Orokin had already colonized other planets in the solar system. So what do we think, were we born in space? Are we from another planet, or just Earth? Hell, maybe our birth was done on some sort of space station.

We know humans and animals can, but I can't remember an instance where cephalons caused conceptual embodiment. Correct me if I am wrong.

So at the height of the Orokin empire you have the Orokin style which is white and gold and is usually biotech to some degree but is there ever any mention of the difference between orokin tech and the regular human/tenno tech the standard sci fi smooth architecture and designs of the orbiter, relays, zariman, parallax, tenno guns ect. I'm wondering if it's ever acknowledged in lore that the non orokin humans use regular non bio technology and just how advanced is it, id include the dax as well although they are less generic. I ask and want to start a discussion because warframe is all about biotech and that's what the series is known for with its Warframes but as a sci fi nerd I'm interested in it's more standard tech and even the Entrati seem to use mostly non organic tech with their necra robots and the whole design of the Entrati labs and the Bruntspar mech is another design that's not as generic as some others I mentioned previously but was made by father and isn't biotech. I didn't take the time to format this post as well as I could've but I just wanted to ramble and get my thoughts out :)

I’m not sure how transference bolts are made, but if we somehow discovered the blueprint and made one, would it be possible to capture an inactive orb mother and slap it on, then pilot them like warframes?

I was wondering if drusus was a reliable narrator or not and remembered that most if not all(?) cephalons were dissenters of the orokin

Maybe the leverian only focuses on the Tenno because they were the only people strong enough to stand up against the orokin?

Bro I come back to this game after months of not playing it and I find this T-T. Bro back when I had this game on my Xbox 360 I would spend millions of credits just to hear this guys stories and I would listen to them over and over.

We need justice for my man Drusus!!

Spoilers for the hex quest and a good blanket spoiler on everything after war within.

…

Alrighty, so a thought came to mind after watching De lore’s latest videos on Warframe and how he pointed out that the Drifter is a paradox of sorts, one that may have been made by entrati and or Walli.

So Drifter has all the Tenno powers without making a deal with Wally, effectively making them as much of a ‘thief’ as the orokin were in some regard while also being connected to the only ‘known’ creature that made a deal with him. That being the Tenno, and maybe the lotus but that’s off track.

In the latest lore video DE suggested that Wally may be using the hex as a way to contain drifter; a prison of love as it were, his reasoning for it was that Wally seemed to be egging Drifter on while they were defying fate, defying Wally specifically, and saving the hex.

I think there’s a simpler reason behind than some 5d chess game between entrarti and Wally, it’s that the Drifter is using their ‘light’, their empathy and love, to get in Wally’s way when from a certain angle. That ‘light’ should be Wally’s property, as the Tenno gave that up for survival on the Zariman.

Now, the question that follows is, why doesn’t Wally just stop Drifter from doing that? He does try, by first trying to kill/break drifter through the foretold and shown deaths of the hex, where it appeared that drifter absorbed some sensation of pain or final emotions the hex’s demise, including their ‘own’ by entrati’s lex prime.

So, when drifter uses ‘love’ to help the hex. Wally is left grasping for straws as Drifter is Not under contract with him. They can use their light however they wish, because they are a paradox. Something that, by all right, should not exist and yet does.

Seeing the end of Whispers, Lotus Eaters, 1999, Angels of Zariman and some lines from Tenshin in Duviri a lot of "containment" measures against Wally had been taken but He stills find a way to leak out both literally and influentially.

Some lines by the Lotus imply that she too has some sort of contract (The Miracle of Lua), though she don't outright say Wally's name but she still mentions a "price" and later questions what was "ours".

Seeing the many loose ties on open and with D.E way to do a "New War" quest to end those maybe our New New War will be some sort of Void Invasion (the void rifts could act as some sort of foretelling to that) and finally pave way to D.E to start an Tau arc or something else entirely, specially if it's gets a closure to the real origin of the infested (simply an sentient gaming virus still doesn't explain all the way, specially how the Helminth's strain is so "void tuned") and in big Al's story.

What are your thoughts about it?

If i get the timeline right, the warframes were deactivated after the massacre and the tenno sent into deep slumber (intro cinematic). Why that? Basicamente allowed the Corpus and the Grinner to fill the Power vacuum.

Why are we still looping 1999 if we stopped the reactor?

wouldnt the right thing be to let the people of hollvania and the hex live their lives? instead, they're trapped, and they dont even know it

Also, how is the post new years eve Pizza possible if its never post new years eve?

Or in general how does the transportation between 1999 and the present work? Because the way I understood it so far is that we used the Kalymos Sequence to transfer the Drifter into an Excalibur Frame in 1999 (that I´m assuming Entrati placed there as part of the plan) and the Backroom is a sort of Lab or Hideout Entrati created during his time there. But there´s a few things here I don´t quite understand?

• How exactly is the Backroom capable or transporting things like our own Warframes, Weapons and Pets from the present into 1999?
• If our belongings and even pets can travel between 1999 and the Origin System does that mean the Drifter could also travel back and fourth or are they supposed to be "stuck" 1999 for now?
• Also could the Drifter possibly bring members of the Hex to the Origin System for a short time? I´m mainly asking this because in a KIM conversation (I think with Quincy) the Drifter said that they could try to use Transference to temporarily show him around the Oirigin System. (also as a side note, could this have anything to do with the Gemini skins? Because I just assumed they were just cosmetics for gameplay reasons or only "canon" for when used in Höllvania but maybe not in that case?)

So at the end of 1999 (not the finale, just the base quest), you see the Drifter slam their fist down, an energy wave emenates from them, and then immediately you see the Duviri "twilight zone" visual along with time winding back.

I'd previously believed that this was proof incontrovertible that the Drifter had reset time, had initiated a time loop and had demonstrated "time loop powers" outside of Duviri, meaning it was something they could theoretically do anywhere and at any point (though there are probably limits to that), that the power was theirs, not Dominus Thrax, not a product of the Duviri throne.

I just got into what feels like a one hour argument with someone on the Warframe discord where they basically told me "don't believe your lying eyes", they argued vehemently that the Drifter did NOT in fact do that, that Albrecht did.

They further went on to state that the Drifter was not in fact responsible for creating Duviri, that the void was, which I agreed with but said was a "distinction without a difference" as the Drifter, despite not having powers, used "conceptual embodiment" to create Duviri. So whilst the void did indeed do it, the Drifter kind of did too.

The whole argument was exhausting frankly and I feel mildly gaslit.

Am I completely in the wrong here for believing that the Drifter slamming their fist down (a symbol used by Dominus Thrax in Duviri), having an energy wave emanate from them and then immediately seeing time turn back is not the game visually telling you "the Drifter is doing this"?

did entrati just bring him a lightning chain gun for lolz

Second was where Hydroid stands.

This is concept art of the sovereign from GotG2. A civilisation based entirely on growing their kin within genetic cradles, being born entirely artificially and considering themselves divine. This sounds very close to the Orokin, being masters of genetic engineering and considering themselves divine with golden filigree everywhere.

What do we know about the Reqiuem mods, Reqiuem relics, and voidtongue?

Who made them, why were they made, where do they come from, why are they used by the Entrati in the Iso vaults and the Sanctum labs?

They seem to be associated with Kuva (they're red, the relics drop from Kuva thrall and hounds, they kill liches)

Maybe the Reqiuem mods are kuva-infused or something. That could explain how they're able to kill liches (who, irrc, are immortal due to Continuity? according to the wiki)

On two occasions (that I remember) we’ve heard about Vosphene Glyphs:

1- Call of the Tempestarii: The way Sevagoth and his Shadow speak to us/each other.

2- Mirror Defense in Entrati’s Labs: We collect them to enhance the defense system of the Auricle and Vitreum.

I do not recall these being explained anywhere though?

Is there a reason that Umbra looks the way he does? I imagine the scarf is just something he chooses to wear or something, but his actual body is different. Obviously base excalibur would look different to umbra because it is a modern reconstruction of the primed version. But Excalibur umbra and Excalibur prime look completely different. Is there a reason in lore for why this is? If so, is it that his strain of the helminth is different from the original Excalibur prime, or is it something to do with his sentience?

Is anything the corpus/grineer actually translatable?

When choosing a Netracell, Tagfer says to go 'with a pack'. Does he mean other Tenno? Isn't there only 1 awaited operator who has access to the Sanctum?

And if he did use it, what did he do?

Dialogue from the adventure "the second dream"

Hello, just finished "The Hex" quest, loved it, but all the "timeloop" things made no sense to me.

So, at the beginning of the quest, we can see the blast from the nuclear plant, meaning that it went off and that we are "too late", then time rolls back, starting a new loop.

But if the Drifter isn't causing the timeloop, because he isn't there yet, what is causing the loop to start over 24 hours previous to that.

And if the drifter isn't the one causing the loop, who is? And, if so, when do we learn anything about an already in place timeloop? Because i don"''t remember seeing anything speaking of taht before.

Maybe i've missed something.

What’s the lore about that one?

Spoilers ahead for both endings of 1999

So, there's been speculation regarding the loop and Albrecht. At the end of the first loop we play through, Albrecht says the line "Tau is in sight". Many of us presumed this was an origin phrase for "Victory is our hands" or something very similar. Albrecht likes his codewords and metaphors, so it could be something different.

However, I've seen many reports of Albrecht having gone to Tau after the events of the second loop. Where we save everyone. Noticeably, Albrecht ditches us, knowing the Kalymos sequence is complete and the next phase can begin.

From what I'm aware the game never states where he went, only that he's disappeared somewhere. Along with the general of the Scaldra. For some reason, people are saying he's gone to Tau and are citing the Wiki as well, but in game it's never stated. Where has presumption come from?

I think it's established that other players are different timelines where their tenno is the chosen one. Is it something like our timelines are "touching," enough to where we are able to converse, and even share a small part of our powers?

Techrot, I can get. They're infestation brought to 1999 by Albrecht, maybe and they've been ancient and proven enemies to even the Orokin. The Scaldra just seem to be humans on some form of steroids. Like a lesser version of the grineer, but with MILLENIA old tech compared to what the drifter has got. I don't know if theres a timeline but the height of the Orokin Empire seem thousands of years away from 1999.

Drifter has access to any warframes, like atlas who could level höllvania like he did a meteor, or time and space bending limbo. Mag would be insane as she's surrounded by metals in 1999. If area of effect might prove a problem due to civilian presence then warframes like titania, wukong, gauss, or again mag if controlled right. He has Orokin "prime" weapons which are just super advanced version of weapons already thousands of years ahead than anything in 1999. Tenno are basically already god among men in their own time, they wiped out 7 million corpus in a day as a distraction. Sure, there were thousands and the drifter is just one, but a few months is enough time to drive out the Scaldra with that immense disparity in tech.

I wanna know what we know about the night of the Naga Drums and the events leading up to it. Also i wanna know about what happened on the Zariman and what went wrong with the jump.
