stone fable

but with humanity still. we all saw what happened when aoi and rest first use powers too long and too hard. thats mean we as tenno control it? we cannot die? or we could die from using power too hard or too long?

we helped them focus on their powers instead of them going 110% constantly

they still are human after all. but warframes for me specially umbra has the worst thing in becoming warframe

but we somehow move in past before their death. thats mean we as drifter can control time and jumping to past?

Dante likely would have been fine

Also I don’t think it’s been confirmed at all

tall echo

It just doesn’t make much sense for it to be the tenno when they were being attacked
We lost control of transference when strangled through our frame, I doubt we’d be able to use it while being directly strangled in a weakened state

It being the frame itself makes the most sense considering the prior dialogue

#

Hunhow saying they have no sense no self

#

Then the frame proving him wrong

# restive river How They were being choked out

Specifically because they were being chocked was why I assumed they controlled the frame. It wasn't a conscious thought - they didn't remember how to do so at the time, after all. No, it was, in a state of emergency, a subconscious push into the ability they once had that they could no longer remember, which only during the War Within do we properly re-learn.

Of course, once again, it's apparently has been confirmed that it is indeed the frame and not the Operator, so my theory regarding that was rendered null and void (to my chagrin), so yeah... Still have to find this reddit QnA, seriously DE, please stop placing lore bombs in the middle of nowhere.

Oh we're back to War Within positing. I still think the frame did all the work, and then we took over once it carried us out.

So the Duviri fragments....is there supposed to be a codex entry for them? i see the ones for Isleweaver. but not the spiral

Alternatively, visit acrithis in the dormizone, the console next to her has the fragments

Its still open to interpretation granted some people's interpretation are wrong like a guy thinking it was somehow adis that caused the frame to move

Did you believe tiktok was limted to only bad power scaling scrap you fool

loud oriole
#

yeah id say there has to be a minute amount of sentience retained otherwise the infestation would probably decay trying to stay sustained within the chitin armor plating

feral cape
#

Narratively that makes the most sense as imo i believe that scene was supposed to be a build up to the sacrifice quest

#

Getting us the players to ponder about what exactly our warframes are and why the seemingly suits of armor snapped a sword all on its own

#

For that to then be explained in the sacrifice quests especially considering it was supposed to ship with the ability to make all frames like umbra but wa scrapped for idk

wind ruin
#

Stalker is a full warframe and has his own mind still.

So was jade

wind ruin

Yes, but we knew about Stalker well before we knew about Umbra or Jade.

Kullervo technically too, if im not mistaken

it could even just be since the ones we pilot are copies upon copies of the original any form of notable sentience has since been mangled to where it can only do short bursts of movements

#

Though it's pretty clear that Stalker forgot he was a warframe himself, never knew the Tenno weren't warframes until Hunhow told him, and was rather surprised when the Operator's warframe moved on its own, thus making him question who exactly was responsible for the demise of the Orokin...

rhino 🤝 grendel

Rhino and Grendel in a pie-eating contest.

drowsy saddle
#

Rhino is just using his charge to push more pie into grendel

wind ruin
#

As an aside, I think that Karissh approached Ballas with the idea for Grendel, because he wanted a warframe that memorialized or 'honored' him in theme.

#

Which would give extra irony to how the Executor died...

@stray dove

  1. Orokin don't use transference for continuity
  2. Tenno are long after the first orokin
  3. The orokin long arm and blue skin are both just cosmetic surgery
#

I really do like the art but my lore brain obsessively has to correct stuff

#

It's a problem

stray dove
#

1-- Old Peace spoilers || the protect the carriage mission implies that if an Orokin's body dies, they are authorized to Transfer to the next available host in case of emergency. || That's sort of what sparked the idea of "sort of died".
2-- Yee, the idea wasn't that the Tenno came first, but rather a "the Temu version of it" more or less lmao. Same idea, but worse execution.

tall echo
#

Continuity works by using red kuva to put the orokin conciousness into the yuvan, replacing their conciousness completely

#

Transference is a much kinder version

#

That is a solid concept tho

#

Might have to consider it for when/if I write my own tenno's lore...

stray dove
#

Some of the stuff I've been seeing with the 1999 Quincy dialogue is that through our chats, we get to chose what happened to our parents on the Zariman.

tall echo
#

Mainly how they die but yea

stray dove
#

Which, also sorta sparked these ideas. One of the lines in particular was the Drifter musing that everyone who "changed" into the Angels were adults with children.

loud oriole
#

-# in computer terms
-# Continuity is like hitting 'replace' when copying like-named files between folders
-# Transference is like emptying the folder first and then streaming the files into the folder

tall echo
#

Angels are specifically void-copies of the memories of dead crew corrupted by the ship's reliequary drive

stiff fable
#

The current batch are

#

We actually can't say the same of the originals who mutated during the original accident

stray dove
#

Thinking of why that could be, and in the Isleweaver stuff with the void angels and uhhh.. orb gather missions (my brain wants to say voidplast)-- Tenshin mentions how the Angels are trying to rip holes so their master can breech into Duviri

#

in the Undercroft.

stray dove
#

It sort of lead down a bit of a thought-tunnel of "why were the children spared" and "why is the Indifference making an army of Angels?"

#

And, if we made a deal with the Indifference, what does that make us?

dire mountain
#

Transference, very importantly, is a consensual thing

#

Tenno CAN be kicked out if the host is unwilling

tall echo
#

Wally is a cruel prick

stray dove
#

Yee, but the dialogue in current quest uses the word Transference specifically, which sparked my brain a bit.

dire mountain
#

Which helps contrast it against continuity

stray dove
#

At least, I'm pretty sure.

#

Or, it's something like "I am authorized to use Transference for the Continuity" etc etc

tall echo
#

Transfer, probably

#

Transference wouldn't keep ballas alive

loud oriole
#

id imagine maybe hypothetically the orokin initially used the transference system as a way to 'test drive' the selected host so they could get a feel.

-# but in typical orokin fashion that was phased out quick

dire mountain
stray dove
#

AHA ty

stray dove
#

And then in typical Orokin fashion "but wait we could have someone else do it"

loud oriole
#

i mean with roathe's kim convo || you learn that Continuity was initially a ceremonial event, but it eventually devolved into a cult like system where instead of being 'chose' people offered themselves to be chosen, along with the age range slowly lowering to what we as the tenno were told later down the grapevine||

#

-# if a lore aficionado could check that for me and make corrections, that would be appreciated

stiff fable
# tall echo Did any?

Yeah the Zariman ARG clips have the narrator talk about his wife mutating into a void angel right as a Tenno void beams her

stray dove
#

on the note of Angels and the like, the design is a fractil but it also reminds me of English Scrollwork engraving. Maybe it's the just material being a metal medium making that mental connection but:

#

Especially because some of the sharper bits look very similar to the negative space in the spirals

strange turtle
# loud oriole i mean with roathe's kim convo || you learn that Continuity was initially a cere...

You have mixed things up a bit

Was always ceremonial. Started off cult-like, with adults offering themselves up willingly because it was an honourable duty (IIRC there were still volunteers sometimes but idr the quote).

But then younger volunteers lied about being older, like teenagers lying to enlist during war, leading to the age limit eventually dropping and dropping as they began to care less

And then an Executor realised it could be used as a threat: the risk of Yuvans being forced into it instead to discourage rebellions

#

At some point the collection for the threat became the standard, and rounding up children for auction became the norm

and Necraloid still a cephalon even though he just a copy of og Loid mind/clone of Loid

We can only really read the body language of her and since shes an early frame her idles are a bit basic

yeah that's my point, early frame need new idle

Excal is like edgy swordman while Volt is like electric mage

#

tbh Volt is basic too

strange plinth

a lot of the early frames have really basic idles
its kinda funny if you look at the speargun animations for them, because those were obv made later

brittle siren
#

I wish there were more tome weapon

strange plinth
#

tbh i'm not sure what they could do, other than adding more direct grimoire variants like noctua

brittle siren

even as a dps tome could work too, for example, if you charge the alt max, it will shoot out beam for a certain duration

although this sound like Incarnon

Something something eternalism

strange plinth

flare wouldn't make a massive impact on the naga drums, though
i'd imagine their presence goes largely unnoticed in the.. well, everything else going on

sweet juniper
#

Even though flare didn't really make a big impact, it's still interesting to think about how flare is effectively stuck in their own endless loop outside of 1999

lean garden
#

once flare makes it to the night of naga drums theyre not coming back

#

its a one way trip

sweet juniper
#

Yes, but then you go back in time to help flare after flare helped you, then flare sends you the message they're going to the future to fight during the naga drums.

sweet juniper
lean garden
#

flare isnt in a loop and neither are you

coral mirage

Ok, so getting stabbed through the chest, pretty sure that kills you.
But since Hunhow and Ballas had 1 respawn each, ok fine.

Also, Angels of the Zariman wasnt as hard as I thought it would be.

# brittle siren huh?

New War, Ballas stabs us in the back and through the chest.
Thats dead dead in my book.

Initially, ripping the War Blade apart, where Hunhow was inside of, was a nice and original death.
And Ballas was stabbed (but at least he had the whole weird monologue thing while we were stalking him)

Each is basically a respawn.
And we got stabbed through the back... And survive

lean garden
#

the blade was just a fragment of hunhow

coral mirage

But we didn’t even die

Also, I feel sorry for Stalker even more now

sweet juniper

no medical attention, nada, nothing

but otherwise, alright

strange plinth
#

drifter dies once or twice? in the duviri paradox quest
then gets shot in 1999, causing them to restart the loop

coral mirage
#

as in, its a self infllicted sense of punishment for survivers guilt

sweet juniper
#

Duviri was very much real, a place the drifter willed into existence into the void.

strange plinth
#

oh, no, they actually died all those times
thrax did order their execution, and the day looped and brought them back every time

coral mirage
#

as in "What if my psychological damage was given form" and duviri happened, and then well, we escaped it (thank god)

sweet juniper
#

Duviri is a storybook about how to control your emotions during a void jump (because the void makes you go insane and kill your kids apparently.)

coral mirage
#

but.... dang, poor Drifter

strange plinth
#

yea, operator got war and cryosleep, drifter got executed thousands of times

blissful merlin
# coral mirage you are stabbed... from the back, through the chest.

** SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT **

The Tenno's personal timeline has been disrupted. Knowing he cannot kill the Tenno, Ballas has opted to imprison them within their own history. The Tenno will be unable to escape this loop without the paradoxical intervention of an outside force.

Continuing to monitor.

With the assistance of Hunhow and the Stalker, the Drifter has fought back against Ballas, destroying the Archons.

The Tenno has been freed from their recursive timeline and now coexists with the Drifter.

coral mirage
#

And still manages to keep his rational mind... i mean, i cant picture getting stabbed endlyless and coming back whole

sweet juniper
#

The drifter was scared because of the parents going crazy cuz of the void wanting a safe place to escape to. They went out and willed duviri into existence, then got executed a bunch cuz he wanted to leave.

coral mirage
#

ugk... So with that said

sweet juniper
#

What the operator goes through on the mini-zariman segments during the new war is also what the drifter went through.

strange plinth
#

yea, they split at the deal

coral mirage
#

Wally... is he... basically the Void willed into being becuase the Orokin were sucking the energy out of it? I still need to do the next quest, but when Wally said "they butcher" I immediately thought "the orokin again? Come ON!"

Yes, its a different perspective, but the enormous grin, the appearances whenever it wants.

Is there like a list of stuff that exists IRL with a Warframe equivalent
E.g

  • Terminator Series
  • Robocop(?)
  • Half Life (not even as an equivalent, just as it was irl)
  • Warframe (The Game, not warframes)
  • Back to the Future

you mean like something that exists in warframe that is based heavily on something irl?

like Robinhood being Loxley instead?

And there are many media references

Idt theres a list

coral mirage
hazy prism
#

I only included references there but also myths, stories and historical events/people

coral mirage
#

Off the top of my head:
Vidja
Metal Gear Solid all over. The "Snaaaaaaake" Game Over scream when the Necrabot dies. Arthur is quite honestly Jet Stream Sam (Not sure who came first tbh, but Arthur looks like Sam just with Gray hair)
Again, Gaunter O'Dimm seems to be drawing parallels

Religion & Culture
Judeo-Christian Monotheism: Uriel, Angels, Devils and honestly everything in between
Asian Myth: Lotus, Wukong, Teshin. How you sit as reverence, the way you hold certain swords as a katana. The game at the beginning seems VERY inspired in Asia but switches.

Programming and Computer science
Erra is clearly referencing the word Errata, or error for short.

Psychology
There is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much referencing the dream.
Trauma
Overcoming Trauma
And the side effects of trauma

#

Oh
Anime and Manga
Full Metal Alchemist - Again Wally and his ENORMOUS GRIN. Also the fact there is a "wall" and FMA heavily used the iconography of a "door"

Movies
Universal Soldier - Bringing back the dead to fight for you.

Star Wars - I mean... I joke about it all the time, but Umbra is basically Darth Vader to me.

So far the IRL things that are seemingly unchanged:

Alexander the Great (Lettie's line in the backroom compares Arthur to him)
Lettie's gods are ones that were worshipped IRL
Amir mentions Jeopardy - ("I'll take Kicking Your Ass for five hundred, Alex.")
Amir mentions Dracula - ("Go at 'em like Dracula at a low-cut top.")
Digital Extremes exists, but it's based in Höllvania and it's a lazy, money hungry company that tried using Techrot to make games for them.

Also, she is paranoid about Wally tampering with her mind, and she probably just wants to get rid of it

Maybe the Choralysts would have individuality too..

Hello! Sorry for what maybe seems like an obvious question but is there a list of warframes and their lore anywhere? I’d love to read up on them and their back stories

hollow siren
#

most frames have no direct lore sadly

#

those that do are often either just their dedicated quest or their Leverian

dawn ingot
#

Dang that’s a bit disappointing. But thank you for letting me know

stiff beacon
#

I mean Excal has a codex entry

ocean geyser
#

I would suggest the wiki if it was reliable with lore

pale cedar
#

I wouldn’t say it’s most frames anymore

ocean geyser
pale cedar
#

It is

hollow siren
pale cedar
#

Nothing in the codex entry has been changed

hollow siren
#

Neither Arthur nor Umbra are the original Excalibur if that's what you think

ocean geyser
#

Nah

#

I mean like
The “Excalibur was the first” thing
Right?
Maybe I’m just misremembering people getting corrected about misconceptions

pale cedar
#

That’s still the case

hollow siren
#

Nothing has been changed about that

ocean geyser
#

I know a lot of people got held up about it

hollow siren
#

we even see in Ballas' Vitruvian what is presumably the first Excalibur mutating

ocean geyser
#

Maybe I’m thinking of people thinking primes were first

pale cedar
#

That’s the one bit of lore DE never change

hollow siren
pale cedar
#

And yes it’s the Prime thing that got changed

lilac aspen
#

Primes were basically
The elites

#

There’s warframes
Then there’s prime warframes

hollow siren
#

it's likely that some original frames got Primed, but

pale cedar
#

Some started Prime
Some earned it

hollow siren
#

the relation between the Prime and Base can vary from frame to frame

lilac aspen
#

To be a prime Warframe means either they were made to be an elite offrip, earned the title of prime and was upgraded into one, or did a based and became prime themself

pale cedar
#

Lavos decided to be the exception to that rule

hollow siren
#

So until an exact individual lore is given for that frame specifically, there's no assumptions we can make

ocean geyser
#

Lavos being goated as usual

hollow siren
#

they would hate him

lilac aspen
#

Lavos and Revenant truly just looked at Ballas and decided to defy everything

lilac aspen
ocean geyser
#

Same thing tbh

strange plinth
ocean geyser
#

Is the running theory that the Unum primed Revenant?

strange plinth
#

yea, his prime armor mentions her

lilac aspen
#

Ballas being salty over it

ocean geyser
#

Ballas moment

pale cedar
#

The worse thing is the fact Ballas sees Warframes as his children

hollow siren
lilac aspen
#

I don’t think he sees them as his children

I think he uses the father term in more comparison to creator. Kind of like how Oppenheimer is the “father” of the atomic bomb

pale cedar
#

I still think Warden was a title rather than the frame name

lilac aspen
#

Ballas is the “Father” of warframes

hollow siren
#

technically "The Revenant" is also a title, it just became its name now since its original name is forgotten

strange plinth
#

-# though it is a little funny if "Warden" was the proper name given that "Warden" is also what totally-not-ballas is named in duviri

lilac aspen
#

DE when are we getting the Ballas frame

A frame with the sheer dramatic energy of Ballas

ocean geyser
#

Does he get the long arm

lilac aspen
#

He clearly should get the long arm as an exalted

pale cedar
#

Infestation probably removes the long arm when the flesh takes over

ocean geyser
#

Infestation hates the long arms

strange plinth
ocean geyser
#

I wonder why Roathe didn’t have long arm

#

Then again he was probably on the front lines

lilac aspen
hollow siren
ocean geyser
#

Long arm might make it harder to fight yeah

pale cedar
hollow siren
#

and yeah Roathe might have been Continuing so much he just didn't bother

lilac aspen
#

And Orokin can easily modify their bodies

“Oop, going to war, I need my war arm.”

pale cedar
#

Would a longer arm really make it harder to fight?

strange plinth
#

somewhat impractical i think
though it could be adapted to

ocean geyser
#

I mean
It’d probably be slower to move maybe

hollow siren
lilac aspen
#

Usually you’d want even arms for balance and stuff

#

So having one big arm kinda makes you imbalanced for more intensive movements along with being an easier target

#

Also would probably make you more noticeable

#

“H m, that one has a long arm, must be the one calling the shot.”

pale cedar
#

Well the blue skin is already a giveaway on the one calling the shots

lilac aspen
#

I’m going by the assumption of them being armored up like the other soldiers and all that

#

Immortal but not invulnerable and all that

pale cedar
#

Maybe he was in a tent commanding the troops rather than always on front lines

hollow siren
#

No he was out fighting

#

Nitokh was the one in the tent

#

Roathe was a strategist and commander but he was also a soldier

pale cedar
#

Isn’t that bit of an issue then considering his other role?

lilac aspen
#

Continuity usually removes the risks of permanently dying on the battlefield

pale cedar
#

True

lilac aspen
#

Usually

#

Roathe had plot armor to make it that long without getting obliterated from existence at some point

pale cedar
#

Guess there is emergency continuity

lilac aspen
#

Probably

pale cedar
#

Where it’s temporary revive like when Ordan started swinging

strange turtle
#

Like you think “oh yeah it makes sense they’d have longer fingers” and then you actually look and pay attention to them and it’s like. Damn

hollow siren
#

yeah Ballas' fingers are like the length of Lotus' forearms

#

if not longer

tacit carbon
#

I'm good with my normal hands thank you

But I'm of the opinion maybe he altered his arm as needed? Battle time? Normie arms. Stupid pompous ceremony nonsense? Sigh better put the long boi on

strong viper
#

Too long, then yes

lilac aspen
tacit carbon
#

Right? Like dress uniform. Best show up to the pompous nonsense with the longer arm even if it annoys you

strong viper
#

Perhaps its showing their warped sense of arrogance and excess. Ego over function.

#

He's a politician, to the core.

#

Their being the society at the time, of course, not necessarily Ballas and cohorts.

strange plinth
#

yea, not sure if adis's healing could do anything for a warframe, or a protoframe. they're being transformed on a molecular level, basically

inland mango
silk atlas
#

They aren't dying from being turned into a Warframe is the issue, so healing likely won't do anything because there's nothing that's damaged.

inland mango
strange plinth

It only heals the damage not cure the infection

silk atlas

lilac aspen
inland mango
#

still, im optimistic about the protoframes future

silk atlas
#

Given Flare basically gave up trying to find a cure, doubtful

lilac aspen
#

If anything
Sentients can be used to affect the infestation in some ways
Considering we have injected the boil that shows up on earth with a chemical made from sentient enhanced antibodies

silk atlas
#

They just said "Aight gonna take a fat nap and meet up for the Naga Drums"

lilac aspen
#

However
That being said

I wouldn’t want to inject my friends with a “cure” that’d just kill them instead

#

To cure our Protoframe friends, we need to simultaneously kill off the infestation and regrow the parts the infestation completely replaced

dry oracle
#

Perhaps if they could clone the hex member human body and use body swap thingy the orokin used to do

lilac aspen
#

Doubt it
At this point their DNA has become one with the infestation stuff

# dry oracle Go back in time and get blood sample

would be a form of grandfather paradox, if we go back to get a clean blood sample to heal the Hex, then we wouldn't need to go back in time to get the blood sample in the first place since they never succumbed to the helminth strain

Grey strain is the gigantism one on Deimos

loud oriole

my bad lol, too many infestation variants

strange turtle
loud oriole
#

ah fair, my thought was;
go back in time for clean sample and then jump ahead to where entrati first jabbed them, that way the infestation has only modified a small amount of DNA as opposed to trying to fix a ~75% converted body

#

-# and now that i think about it, actually that would probably start a parallel universe or fully over-write everything in the current origin system timeline

wind ruin
#

Time travel can, apparently, overwrite existing events. For instance, the Infestation was originally the invention of mad scientists trying to create clones. But now the Infestation is mad scientists coming across the dead remains of Roathe and Entrati's Helminths and using them as a basis for a way to create clones. At least, that's what I think is happening. It's a paradox of the same kind as the Operator/Drifter. Both histories are true.

Read up on mushroom spores. Read up on yeast.

Also, helminth infestation can't spread without FLUID, interestingly

fast dew
wind ruin
#

Technocyte can 'bloom' from its 'dead/inert' spores.

fast dew
#

The helminth is explicitly transmitted like a bloodborne pathogen. You need to have fluid get in your bloodstream for it to have any affect

#

Why do you think the protos don't go infesting everyone they interact with?

#

Or the warframes?

wind ruin
#

So think about how real life scientists can culture yeast from 1000 year old dead spores and think on what scientists who have no idea what the technocyte is might experiment on dead material found in the bowels of the Cathedral of the Luminaries.

Okay so if an OROKIN couldn't do it from the time it died what makes you think random scientists can do it?

It's not that it's limited to just them, it's that there's no other times where Eternalism's main crux, the Void, is the thing that makes us even care about the fact it exists as a concept. If the Void wasn't a thing we'd just be using plain old Presentism, and even with Eternalism being a thing, that doesn't mean that things can't just have a non-Eternalism explanation, like with the whole Infested convo above.

#

The Void doesn't always do stuff that needs to invoke Eternalism either, in a similar vein.

proven spire

...Yeah but that doesn't mean you throw it around willy-nilly to explain every little thing in the game

It'd help if I knew what "the whole Harrow and Rell thing" was in the first place

I never made any mention of it being Eternalism or not because I didn't know what you were talking about

proven spire

Lyon being connected to all of the Harrows and Rell himself throughout space and time is evidence of Eternalism

restive river

I’m assuming it’s Lyon’s connection which
Sounds more like a feedback loop due to the strain and Rell’s connection to Harrow more than it is Eternalism

because they all exist simultaneously

that's what eternalism is right?

a universe that operates on the concept that past present and future all exist at once and with enough power can travel between different frames of time or exist simultaneously in all of them

since im BFFs with Lyon;
apparently before the Harrow strain, Lyon ||witnessed Rell's shadow figures that wanted him to murder his parents. he ran until he was tired and then in a last ditch effort tried to make a compromise because it seemed like they wanted blood so he took his knife and stabbed his left eye out.

so yeah some how Rell influenced Lyon years before he even met Entrati||

similar in the sense of a memory feeling like one of ours, but everything else is dissimilar

restive river
#

Ye

still frigate
#

The infestation no matter which strain is connected through space and time right? Or did I misunderstand?

restive river
lean garden
#

its just not our line of thought

restive river
#

To them it’s all at once all the time essentially iirc

#

Quite literally a matter of perspective

lean garden
#

I am a staunch supporter of the notion that time travel movies are never confusing if you stick to the path of the traveler

#

so yes, that includes tenet, even as it goes both ways

loud oriole
#

time is relative or what ever Einstein proposed lol

still frigate
#

hmm okay

still frigate
#

I was going to do comparisons in voicelines like with Chains of Harrow & Old Peace

proven spire
#

The infested hivemind can travel throughout different points in the timeline

still frigate
#

and Lizzie has like 1-2 minimum lines that are similar with other voicelines, one being Jordas

lean garden
#

is it really counted as travel if the mind is already there?

still frigate
#

maybe more if i keep going

restive river
restive river
#

So long as the infestation physically exists in space it’s mind is throughout all of it’s history in time

restive river
proven spire
#

Exists throughout all of time because of eternalism

restive river
#

Wally exists within the void which has untime

#

He can access eternalism tho for sure

proven spire
#

It has already infected the timeline and thus now exists in it all throughout

lean garden
#

imo wally really only travels around to where albrecht has been

#

so its not like wally can zip all the way to the primal protozoa

restive river
strange plinth
proven spire
#

I think it encompasses all points simultaneously

restive river
#

All he does is sit in the void, speak through his pieces and follow Albrecht as best he can

loud oriole
#

and occasionally pop in to say hi to us before giggling and vanishing

proven spire
#

Maybe it doesn’t chase events because it’s already everywhere we go

restive river
loud oriole
#

ah myb lol

restive river
#

Lol

proven spire
loud oriole
#

maybe with all these strands wally keeps making, maybe he's trying to knit us (into) a sweater

strange plinth
#

seems like he has to dedicate a decent amount of resources to actually try to tie down a strand of khra
the fragmented's whole purpose is doing so, and we keep taking them out before they can do anything

If it was infinite we’d be overrun by him and his heralds ages ago

proven spire
#

That’s because it’s our job lol

restive river
#

Okay, it’s still not infinite

pine orchid
#

what if he's just toying with us... 😔

restive river
#

He’s not a god.

dry oracle
#

Who

loud oriole
#

Indifference

restive river
#

Wally’s not a god

stiff fable
#

Wally

proven spire
#

Theorized as a being born out of conceptual embodiment

lean garden
#

wally the pissant aint neva a godExcaliburFire

stiff fable
#

Losing the finger really messed him up, he has to play by the rules of causality now.

restive river
loud oriole
#

if wally was a god, we would have lost the second Ball Arse opened the huge portal to the void

strange plinth
#

if not long before

stiff fable
#

Or rather, the second Albrecht opened the first Void portal

lean garden
restive river
stiff fable
#

Then again, he might be a god in the Greek mythology sense

restive river
#

Now if Drifter could just
Stop
Calling him that

loud oriole
#

-# or before the universe was even conceived

proven spire
#

Wally has quantum superpositioned himself into the timeline 🧠

restive river
#

It is actually the most annoying thing ever that Drifter keeps saying that

stiff fable
#

Someone years ago theorized that Wally was a genie out of middle eastern myth

restive river
stiff fable
#

A primordial being of chaos from before the universe's birth

proven spire
#

Nope

restive river
#

He’s def a thing of entropy

proven spire
#

He was born out of human consciousness from the void

restive river
#

We can’t really prove that entirely

dry oracle
#

He just a man who's stuck in the wall

stiff fable
#

I'm pretty sure Albrecht put a face on entropy itself

restive river
#

And the answer will likely never be revealed

proven spire
#

A human embodied concept that is trying to infect the eternal timeline

#

So what is the hivemind exactly

lean garden
stiff fable
#

A gestalt consciousness

dry oracle
#

Think of it as bee hive

proven spire
#

It’s a corporeal consciousness that has the desire to consume

stiff fable
#

Maybe Tartaros

proven spire
#

Was it also born out of conceptual embodiment

pine orchid
#

I see drifter calling him a god like, in reference to how powerful he is 🤷‍♂️
like a god whose domain is specifically rose plants or smth they're teeny compared to like gods of ocean or war but still a god, yknow?

stiff fable
#

I don't think it IS corporeal, any more than your mind is corporeal

lean garden
#

but also his power? I spit on it too

#

aint even in control over its own domain

#

sorry "domain"

#

because its not his

restive river
stiff fable
#

That is of course assuming Roathe is right

restive river
pine orchid
#

ah we should call wally "power level over 9000" instead of god Xd

stiff fable
#

And he's an Orokin so I'm not betting on it

lean garden
#

Wally wants our light so much but once we cast a light on this little monster we've created, it aint scary at all, like a lump of clothes on a chair

lean garden
restive river
#

I’m with Bau for calling him a pissant

loud oriole
#

-# all wally is, is just a entropic photocopier that has a short

loud oriole
#

yeah, hes only powerful in his domain where he makes the rules, but in the origin system and duviri he has to confide by the rules we/are established

stiff fable
proven spire
#

Us fighting the murmur is only delaying the inevitable, that’s why albrecht is trying to find an alternative way to defeat the indifference

stiff fable
#

(But for what it's worth we haven't been to his part of the Void yet)

#

(so far he's been intruding on ours)

dry oracle
#

So what if the protoframe person transfer their consciousness into a human clone version by doing the orokin thingy or does the infestation prevent it from transferring?

pine orchid
#

I think Roathe mentioned he cant do continuity anymore

#

bcs of the infestation specifically, bt I cant remember where he mentions it

dry oracle
#

Idk maybe there's something that could help with the transfer

strange plinth
proven spire
#

It would be very funny if when the indifference is defeated the orokin empire also gets deleted from the timeline as well lmao

dark compass
#

So yeah continuity is definitely off

dry oracle
#

Google said something about indifference having a reality warp in his place/domain

#

Indifference is immortal?

silk atlas
#

We have no reason to think he's immortal

proven spire
#

No kuva no continuity no finger engines

loud oriole
#

time doesn't exist in the void, so wally cannot experience time so in his stomping grounds he's 'immortal'

stiff fable
dry oracle
#

That's Google

stiff fable
#

Phew. Okay.

Just to make sure, you're not reading the AI Overview?
