look at prime vor

fast dew
#

Ehh. Say what you will but. He is still kinda ugly

lean garden
#

(someone make that heart lockett gif with prime vor pls and thanks)

#

anyways back to roach

gray bloom
#

Which makes this line kinda questionable considering the operator certainly knows about the genetic issues of the Grineer

lean garden
#

He's got no change because he called vor a vatrat?

lean garden
fast dew
#

And as bad as it is

#

We do got to recognise that there is an ending where he gets worse

lean garden
fast dew
#

Uh. Dude

#

The villain arc already does that

#

You got bigger fish to fry

lean garden
fast dew
#

And he can be redeemed and still be a bigot

#

He just isnt as bad

lean garden
fast dew
#

That.

#

His bigotry erases the redemption?

lean garden
#

Im confused on where youre standing

fast dew
#

I mean. Do you see where i said he didn't change?

lean garden
#

yea right here

fast dew
#

Because. He absolutely does

fast dew
#

In regards to. Specifically his bigotry

lean garden
gray bloom
#

Quick question

#

Is most of the corpus military just ordinary ppl

fast dew
#

Merchants

gray bloom
#

excluding the machine stuff

fast dew
#

Mostly merchants

#

Gamblers, loan sharks

lean garden
restive river
#

Iirc the Corpus aren’t normal civillians, they’re purpose bred

lean garden
#

like all those crewman would be working for the merchants

fast dew
#

I cannot see out of one eye rn cus shit is leaking

lean garden

shit got deflated

its a wacky money cult with many ways in

They’re born into the money cult life

fast dew
#

Its started to burn the edge of my eyelid lol

gray bloom
restive river
gray bloom
#

How do they acquire cannon fodder

restive river
#

Purpose-bred

fast dew
#

Kidnapping people maybe

restive river
#

Also proxy robots
They
Use a lot of those

lean garden
#

I think its a cordylon one

fast dew
#

The whuh

restive river
#

The numbers we see in game aren’t entirely accurate fyi
The tenno aren’t wiping out millions on the daily

restive river
lean garden
fast dew
#

My lens got corroded

gray bloom
#

Ok. So they are like a handful powerful individuals sitting at the top using purpose bred ppl and machine stuff to extract wealth

fast dew
#

Cus SHIT man this is frustrating

gray bloom
#

Also they are divided and fights each other

fast dew
gray bloom
#

So, just Orokin with a bit of capitalism?

restive river
#

Wanna-be Orokin with a heaping ton of capitalism

gray bloom
#

I see

restive river
#

Parvos founded the Corpus during the Orokin Era

fast dew
#

Worked with one too

#

Stole from another.

lean garden
restive river
#

Like I said
Wanna-be Orokin HappyHyekka

fast dew
#

And majorly pissed off Loid, who may be out for blood

lean garden
#

there is a singular corpus fella who is comparable to the orokin and its parvos

fast dew
#

Go you wild ass old man go murder him

lean garden
#

maybe two if I'm right about aladHappyHyekka

gray bloom
#

didnt hunhow call alad an orokin

restive river
#

Oh also the Solaris are technically Corpus

fast dew
#

Mhm

restive river
#

Bau has a theory Alad could secretly be an Orokin but that is presently just a theory lol

lean garden
restive river
gray bloom
#

Come to think of it

strange plinth
gray bloom
#

Is alad the only board member who is being harvested for blueprints

restive river
#

Idek if he’s on the board

restive river
#

We don’t see the board much

restive river
strange plinth
humble sierra
#

Darvo's dad, Frohd Bek

strange plinth
#

yea him

lean garden
restive river
#

Narmer didn’t kill or veil civilians because they thought they were Orokin lol

lean garden
#

are you counting the plains sentient hitting the orokin towers?

restive river
#

Cause I know I didn’t get the idea from Narmer

lean garden
#

otherwise I cant think of any other targets that weren't strategically viable

#

blow up the rails, blow up the moon, blow up mar's moon

#

blow up themselves

restive river
strange plinth
# restive river We don’t see the board much

^ but yea, we only know a couple board members afaik
alad v (maybe), frohd bek, nef anyo, (formerly) ergo glast iirc
parvos if he ever took his place there
maybe another i'm forgetting

lean garden
humble sierra
#

Tbf most Corpus boss fights are robots

strange plinth
restive river
#

The Sentients attacking civilians is kinda the basis of why they were
Uh
Bad

Cause wanting Tau, wanting to fight back against the Orokin, yes fight good
But it was them attacking the innocent where we cross the line

restive river
gray bloom
#

Is nef anyo in charge of both venus and neptune?

lean garden
#

Well, someone gotta find it then

strange plinth
restive river
#

I unfortunately do not have the time nor have an exact quote 😔

lean garden
#

We don't have an orokin city thats not lua right?

restive river
#

But again, it’s the basis of why the Sentients were bad

#

They did attack Deimos
And I can see them attacking Earth
We know Hunhow attacked Lua, though that one was a ploy iirc

#

Innocent civilians kinda had to get in the crossfire to some degree if they were attacking the system

#

I wonder if any of the outer colonies encounter Praghasa or Erra between the collapse and the awakening

#

And now I’ve been reminded by the fact that sentinels are maybe sentients and once again remain hopeful we might get something on them lol

lean garden
restive river
#

Did the sentients kill innocent civilians

gray bloom
#

Well civilian casualties is almost inevitable when you are fully invading

lean garden
#

Like critically we need to be able to prove that the Sentients specifically targeted civvies, otherwise its a case of critical infrastructure being hit

lean garden
fast dew
#

They got worm blasted

lean garden
fast dew
#

I will bring up we killed sentients while crashing out at ballas

fast dew
#

For. No real reason

restive river
#

What

#

You mean the anarch controlled ones or?

fast dew
#

The. Whole storming the academy?

restive river
#

Oh

strange plinth
#

they were hostile iirc

lean garden
#

odd, I thought the sentients on the academy were marked blue on the minimap

restive river
#

Wait
We can check what energy color they had

lean garden
fast dew
gray bloom
#

I would say I might have starved some guys to death when I didn't donate the fish

restive river
#

They’re red on the map

fast dew
#

At least most sentients that caused havoc in the war we're just drones

restive river
#

Ok yeah so
The sentients are blue
The sentients are non-hostile
You can kill the sentients

fast dew
#

:(

restive river
#

Which you need to take into account the context of this scene

#

We’re angrier than we have ever shown to be and egged on by Wally

fast dew
#

We're pissed, undeniably so

#

But that doesn't negate that we murdered civilians

restive river
#

I mean
They are soldiers

#

Just on our side

fast dew
#

They. Are non hostile.

gray bloom
#

Then we can argue that the sentients are pissed as well

fast dew
#

The sentients have every right to be hostile the second they see us

gray bloom
#

If someone built a machine with my grandfather's body parts I would also be pissed

restive river
#

I do think considering our state in that moment, it negates it to a degree
We are basically blinded by what we’re feeling

fast dew
#

Ehhh

restive river
#

Oh no they are hostile

strange plinth
restive river
#

I paused at the wrong time

fast dew
#

Id. Still hold someone accountable for their actions when enraged

restive river
#

Cause we come in killing the Grineer that are attacking the Sentients and everyone was friends a minute ago

restive river
#

We were driven to this and further egged on by Wally

fast dew
#

It was a choice made by us, regardless of how they were pushed BenThumbs

fast dew
#

A choice made by a child is still a choice.

restive river
#

A child who just saw their friend die
A child who feels lied to by their parental figure
A child who’s literally facing war
A child who’s being egged on by some entity

strange plinth
#

messy situation, as said before

fast dew
#

Yeah, and. Genuinely that does not matter.

#

They killed sentients.

restive river
#

Big shocker, Warframe isn’t black and white!

restive river
fast dew
#

Not what I meant.

restive river
#

You can’t just ignore the context of what put us there

fast dew
#

Id expect a child who, even while under duress, to be held accountable for their actions

#

Not punishment, no, not fully

strange plinth
#

i don't think they can be fully excused
but given the number of factors, i don't think they can be fully at fault either

fast dew
#

But their actions cannot be waved away.

restive river
#

I mean the Tenno got punishment enough anyway

#

Also it is technically a player choice thing if anything, though I’m unsure if the game lets you pacifist the sentients

fast dew
#

They are still culpable, but not entirely so and we shouldn't ignore that they hurt those people BenThumbs

restive river
#

If they open fire then they opened fire

restive river
#

Not saying it was mercy killings

strange plinth
restive river
#

Just adds to the situation being messy ):

fast dew
#

And. That matters how...?

restive river
#

I just said

restive river
fast dew
dark compass
restive river
#

I’m assuming the Grineer for sure shoot at you but if the Sentients do then that’s self defense

dark compass
#

Sentients do shoot at you on their own

strange plinth
dark compass
#

I was curious to check

fast dew
#

And while jm sure they can withstand the vacuum of space, how severe would the damage be of being torn into it?

restive river
restive river
dark compass
#

I mean there's no kill roadblocks

#

I think

#

The only thing you kill is a door

restive river
#

I thought there was for one of the doors

fast dew
#

Did. Did we kill any when we burst through

restive river
#

I believe you can, kinda like how you can land on a guy in Perita

#

Anyway
If the Sentients are opening fire it becomes justified

fast dew
#

But is the opening fire also justified?

strange plinth
#

am i about to replay the quest to look at these. i think so.

restive river
gray bloom
#

Well at that time we are technically at war with the sentients, no?

restive river
fast dew
#

Not the ones on our side 😭

restive river
#

We don’t join the war again until Mom takes us home

dark compass
#

Grineer are sabotaged, Sentients see our action as a betrayal

gray bloom
dark compass
#

No friends here

restive river
strange plinth
restive river
fast dew
#

Also on tau, I still do not understand how Albrecht would. Be on tau without. A lot of infrastructure and not getting him murdered by sentients

restive river
#

They just know their once friends have turned

fast dew
#

Or. How the bastard even got there

restive river
dark compass
#

Do we even know what Albrecht has to say about Sentients

#

Maybe they're buddies

restive river
#

How is bro doing anything

fast dew
#

How does he support himself, how does he not die, how did he get there

#

Like damn its tau is in sight not tau is next door

radiant pier
#

I remember during the old peace, when the Dax were running away, and it took me a solid second to think "wait I am doing a war crime"

dark compass
#

Albrecht leads us to the secret place and it's just Hunhow, neither of us knew

radiant pier
#

and promptly stopped killing the ones who ran away

fast dew
gray bloom
#

Then I don't think you can really expect someone to take the risk to check if a sentient is a civilian, no?

#

Especially considering that sentients dont need to carry an explicit weapon such as a handgun or something

fast dew
radiant pier
#

the vinquibus was cool

restive river

#

Crime in Warframe?
Impossible

fast dew
#

I think the worst part of Albrecht's character is that he can stomach. Shit coffee

#

Like you are that rich and you choose to. Drink shit coffee

pale cedar
#

You want to torture him with coffee?

WHAT IS HE GONNA DO

#

Yes

#

Albrecht got too jacked he cant fit in his clothes 💔

#

Except for the shirt. That thing is so long

radiant pier
#

me when I kept killing the Grineer during kahl's missions before realizing, when there were only 2 left "oh right"

#

I might be kinda dumb

pale cedar
#

Can’t kill the Corpus they make me money

Mm. Mr Tuesday

And its a jacked Albrecht being a gym coach guy

Oh right

#

The shiny bit

I like to believe its the same shirt he wears in the portrait

#

Goes to show how much weight he would've lost

Because. This man's weight cannot keep itself consistent

Why drink lead when you can drink gold!

-# also imagine if coffee just simply doesnt exist in the orokin era so albrecht really has no basis of comparison

I mean. Wine exists

#

Meaning
Grapes exist

but did coffee beans make it

why?

I used to drink it in an excessive amount

It did nothing and I thought I just was addicted

Don't want to alarm you

Then I quit it for a year as if nothing happened just to prove a point

I have been drinking decaf since then

dark compass
#

No idea, I just liked the taste

fast dew
#

Theres a reason why neurodivergent groups gravitate towards energy drinks

dark compass
#

Then decided I should check if I'm addicted or not

#

And stopped drinking it for a whole year

fast dew
#

Eh you're less likely to get chemically addicted to weed

#

-# know the difference between chemically and psychologically

#

Ugh i got homework

strange plinth
dark compass
#

I am talking about a psychological addiction

strange plinth
# fast dew Did. Did we kill any when we burst through

doesn't look like it, no
the nearest people are the grineer and sentients down the hall, none right where we emerge
its possible to run through the whole thing without killing anything other than doors (and a hologram?), though its fairly reasonable to assume that Isn't What Happened

#

there are a ton of explosions that happen near us but i don't think are caused by us?

Or we can replay it? Is the quest replayable?

you like the taste of coffee?

#

it just burns my mouth whenever I tried it

#

it tastes like pain and eventual injury

heady quest
#

But I have found that with adding carbs with caffeine, the awake effect stays longer

#

I have been mixing it with chocolate milk

#

Good combo for waking up

fast dew
#

Thats boiled water dawg shit is gonna be hot

heady quest
#

I mean could also be from the bitterness of coffee

fast dew
#

Food in general but carbs particularly is. One of the things that push against it

Idk how it work but a high carb drink added with coffee always wakes me up more than the coffee alone does

Or, for me, my route was. Barista

radiant pier

I'm gonna stop now, I can't quite explain why, but I just felt an overwhelming feeling of dread and murderous intent towards my general direction from somewhere with a +2 hour timezone

restive river
#

Albrecht is a bad scientist

fast dew
#

Id say he is reasonable

restive river
#

I wouldn’t

fast dew
#

A fault in one experiment doesn't dictate his entire skill

restive river
#

Not entirely anyway lol

heady quest
# restive river It shows us in his notes And I’m talking about what was the actual plan with it,...

From the recording it seems it must have been on rails. He says that with the flick of a lever his daughter pulls, the path of the bell shifted towards the gaping hole he tore in his wall. My guess is that the giant glass sphere was then just straight up railed inside the void but upon slightly gracing the void it shattered and he fell inside the void anyway without the bell.
About precautions: Albrecht was already on his final thoughts. He was desperate and was even risking himself in order to prove that the void is real. He wasn’t thinking straight at this point and just did anything to witness his life long theories be proven right

restive river
fast dew
#

Because. See a decent chunk of space missions

radiant pier
fast dew
# restive river The Cavia lol

And...? He was doing the. Hypothesis-> test-> record->alter->repeat, thats like. The backbone of new experiments in science mostly. I think thats the order

restive river

He saw himself as a void

radiant pier
#

hey Thomas if I keep mentioning coffee how likely am I to die within the next 3 hours

#

Shit might just row over

#

And then you have the cavia.
Albrecht just did that for the love of the game

good luck getting to our seas dingus

I faltered in the awe of it, stumbling against the seriglass and, with that, shifted the Bell's path through the wall. It grazed the caliper membrane, the edge of the door.

yeah we're constantly reminded how it was a failure

fast dew
#

Why am I the only one who sees that 😭

restive river

#

yes animal testing is a very normal practice

fast dew
#

Okay but can you understand the logic

radiant pier
#

yes

strange plinth
#

its a reasonable thought process, though wrong and taken a lot farther than it should've

fast dew
#

mimics me when I went in
throw animals for it to mimic

radiant pier
#

animal testing, we just still call it failed on his part

fast dew
#

Its. Pretty logical 😭

restive river
#

Eh, after a certain point it stopped being reasonable

fast dew
#

I do not know the size or amount of cavia he sent in

radiant pier
#

yeah at some point it just becomes "okay now he's just chucking shit"

heady quest
#

I get that is supposedly mimics animal experiments in real life science but this just seems like without any direction. Like all he wanted was to have the same results he had but there is no plan, no model, no nothing. Just throw in animals and see what happens
Ethics committee would never approve this 😂😂

"Pyramids" on a man who likes to be a little melodramatic

The Cavia most definitely isn't reasonable, there's a reason Albrecht was literally high on something when it came to him

#

melodramatic? is that what we call psychopathic nowadays? that sounds du-ohmygod that's me

fast dew
#

You have no idea how many rats are used in animal testing :)

we do know, and it's a normal practice

you know professor paradox? from Ben 10? the bit where he went completely insane and then back to "sane"? that's probably why I find Albrecht's little progression a bit understandable

fast dew
heady quest
#

Yeah ethics is a pain in the ass but it all boils down to doing the least amount of unnecessary harm for the most amount of viable info you get out of it

fast dew
#

And. If the animal can be sedated or similar during the experiment or if it'll affect results

heady quest
#

That’s why I think Albrechts experiments are so shallow and just feels like it is aiming at nothing

#

I need more backstory on how it all went down

fast dew
heady quest
#

I hope when we get to Tau some codex entries can explain what Albrecht was actually trying to do

fast dew
#

I've been. Very interested in animal testing after I was forced to watch Ferngully back in grade 7

#

Because by all accounts, what happened to the main 4 was not supposed to happen

It was an anomaly, even to Albrecht

-# In answer, I resolved to hurl into the Void minds that were not human. Let it parody them. The proximity of the bestial would force a humbling devolution, or so I thought.

-# The majority of the Cavia merely died. I gave the Void living beings and it sent me back bedraggled cadavers. The dead lay stacked in pyramids around my deserted lab. I was nothing but a failed priest.

-# But a glass splinter of stubbornness still stuck in me. And so, I persisted. The correct combination of creatures would work.

-# The catalyst was uniqueness. That attribute was what caught the interest of the bland and undifferentiated Void.

-# The very last breeding pair of Cervulites was smuggled to me, causing Loid no small inconvenience. A species on the brink of extinction. Here was the uniqueness the Void sought. I was certain to the pit of my entrails.

-# I loaded the pair on their Seriglass bridal barge, along with an expendable avian and a Norg for mental ballast. Fish, fowl and beast. A facile equilibrium.

-# They did not die, save one. They came back changed.

-# I knew, then, that my gambit had lost. So long as I worked through scapegoats, my guilt would only deepen. I must atone for what I had done through my own blood.

-# Standard laboratory hygiene would have been to dispose of them. But some instinct stayed my hand. The Voidtongue was an enigma to me, but another - more habituated to the Void than I - might one day unravel it. Through the imposition of form upon the formless they could, perhaps, glean some meaning.

Mm. Okay.

Orokin screwed the origin system. They want to leave. Albrecht does his shit and figures out Void travel. The orokin send the zariman to a system called Tau. They also make the sentients. Whuh oh bad idea. They rebel, but on tau they gain sentience and they stop fighting. Then the old peace happens and shit goes to shit. More war and we're put to sleep, night of the naga drums happen, orchestrated by ballas, then the big sleep

The Zariman was lost making the fold from Saturn to the Outer gates. Mechanical failure.

It disappeared for few days, then came back as if nothing happened, per Ember Prime's Codex entry

The better question is why didn’t they jump from Sedna instead with it being much closer to the Void

#

Void is located on map for ease of gameplay, it's physically not there

Well it is physically there
It’s just not physically just there

the tau rail is by pluto, so im assuming the zariman was probably going there before making the interstellar jump to tau

smoky gulch
#

Wait, wonder what happened in Drifter version of events - no traumatised children with Void powers either means Sentient project had no successful (at least by our intel) defense system

drifters version likely went the same as opertors, with the major difference being that drifter themself was left behind

Sooo, drifter uwittingly martyred themselves to being left in Void-Zariman, while all others poofed into existence in material plane?

It would’ve went the same way as in Ember codex just without the Drifter

Also it’s unclear but iirc there’s accounts that make it sound like a few days and some a few years
It was just likely a few days though and the tenno were in cryo till Margulis came along

Yeah, but the physical ship was still existing after Tenno incident, surely

So where does the voidplug Zariman suddenly appear from

Then it came back with just the kids
Then it left
Then it came back during the new war
Then it left
Then it returned for the final time with Angels
Now it plugs the hole

But huh, then Orokin must have been very pleased when big failure of their regime just... Disappeared back into void by itself

Considering we never quite get the details it could very well be that they just issued remote commands to it to try and push it back under the void
