TAU 2026

lament birch
#

The content of the 2025 and maybe 2026 update happens at the same time as 1999

#

Drifter time travels to 1999, operator hunts memories of the olden times/goes to Tau

#

They're both jump off points from lotus eaters

shadow forum
#

Now that is what I want to listen.

zenith jacinth
shadow forum
#

Tell us more.

lament birch
#

We don't know more

livid glen
#

Tau wasn't "made". It's a star system (or planet depending on how you interpret the KIM chats) that the Sentients were sent to.

shadow forum
#

Yea that explains it.

livid glen
#

Based on the stars it's probably Sirius

lament birch
#

Tau is usually colloquially used with system

#

It's a star system

#

We're just likely going to a single planet

shadow forum
#

😐 I wonder so drifter finished his nightmare. Now operator turn to go for that one.

cerulean kiln
#

The only person to call Tau a planet never actually got to the System

shadow forum
#

Maybe zariman is the bridge between those places or deimos necralisk

#

Where they used that big teleport .

#

Or not

livid glen
#

It's probably going to be Pazuul rebuilding the Tau rail honestly

Heard rumblings of rebuilding the rail, yeah

Wait pazuul was lotus brother right.

So Ballas controlled them all

Was it to cast him out, or to protect him? (or to give him a mission?)
I don't remember the details well... (so i'll have to replay it too xD)

#

Pretty sure it's cuz autism coded, and because of him blinding her

#

@shadow forum but yes the Teshin in duviri is the same teshin.

#

So im confused did we go to tou or is it another "drifter" moment where we did and didnt thanks to void stuff?

balmy badger
#

The Old Peace is flashbacks.

#

Reliving the Operators dormant memories.

#

Not a new concept either, The War Within was also about unlocking suppressed memories.

acoustic kraken
#

So its just unlocking a vault for memories?

#

Then the Next update after old peace is going back to tou

balmy badger
#

The 2026 Tau update will be going to present day Tau yes.

rain otter
tight pagoda
#

Yeah it'll likely be the End of Year 2026 update

#

Much like how 1999 was first shown at TennoCon 2023, teased in the end of year Whispers in 2023 then got an actual quest released end of year 2024

#

But The Old Peace is likely solely focused on Tau, rather than how 1999 was a small part of Whispers

#

I don’t think thats how they’re doing it this year

balmy storm
#

Old peace will give us the motivation to go to Tau
And possibly the method

finally a good reason to use all three sacrificial mods.

Umbral* mods, there's only two sacrifical mods

And overall Primed Pressure Point does more damage than a buffed, fully upgraded Sacrifical Pressure, which is weird imo

Someone points out that Wally makes deals with Operator using Lotus' hand, and Rusalka with her own severed hand— I think it's because he's learned from his mistake with Albrecht, where the door literally closed on his hand, and it resulted with a finger being cut off

[DE]layed is probably a Dev or something, all their TikToks are jokes using assets

#

Most notably, they used Adis at the intro of this one

balmy storm
#

I looked it up and uh

#

No
They use AI voices, this ain’t DE

#

Like there’s literally an AI Lotus
The Adis may be too

tight pagoda
#

Oh definitely AI voices for everything

#

but I think it's still DE because how else would they have access to Adis and etc.

#

Since it's a joke account and not any official reveals whatsoever it could just be them using AI for that

#

or there's a rogue Dev at DE who's doing it

#

or rebecca is extremely talented and able to make herself sound like she's AI-generated to throw us all off

They’re def not on a live build but I really doubt it’s a dev, rogue or not

Hello guys, I'm not a native English speaker, so I hope it's okay to ask a quick question.
I heard from someone that DE might reclassify some main story quests as side content, or even make them skippable or remove them entirely.
Is this information accurate?
I'd really appreciate any clarification. Thank youđŸ„ș 🙏 !

I think that's better than curing her and forcing them to find a new path right now or they all die anyways

quick smelt
#

Yeah
Her deciding that she will be the last one, which gives them time to figure out how to change, is the best option in my opinion

steep totem
#

Exactly

livid glen
#

I think sending her home would probably give the best outcome from a greater perspective, specifically if that culture/strain/whatever is then further studied

#

Instead of letting that knowledge be lost, if only partially

steep totem
#

Pretty sure we know what that strain is though

#

Or at least what it used to be

quick smelt
#

It’s a weird thing that seems to need to be passed down specifically from person to person.

Lets them pacify the infested around them or something.

If they could have figured out how to give it to everyone, I think they would have done it by now since it’s been with them for a while. In fact they probably could have spread it to everyone else but then it would inevitably kill them.

Hence why they only have a single person burden whatever

What have you guys named your Amps? Normally I just run with a portmanteau of the parts I used to make it (Raklapcha — Raplak, Clapkra, Pencha, for example) but I've started naming them to be a bit more thematic, especially with the TennoLive reveals, things like "Broken Peace" or "Forlorn Shores"

Check the wiki if you are struggiling

#

The Archons aren't too difficult if you know what to do

#

It's mostly rolling and shooting, no reflexes needed

#

Worst case scenario you could probably try contacting support

Also you can do archons in whatever order you like i did nira and amar then the borb

Make sure to heal when you get hit by an electric proc since it status cleans you

just created Nidus
when do I have to breed for helminth charger?
can I remove the cyst rn or do I have to wait 7 days?

#

also, do I have to remove it before or during the kubrow creation?

zenith jacinth
zenith jacinth
#

Also google exists

pastel frost
#

the wiki exists too, and it doesn't help with the order of what you have to do

zenith jacinth
#

Well removing the cyst is the wrong thing to do in general

#

If you want a charger

pastel frost
#

i do

zenith jacinth
#

Removal makes it so the frame can't get a cyst again

#

Which definitely only exists bc the cysts are ugly as hek

pastel frost
#

yeah, but I do have to drain the cyst into the incubation process
but it also takes 7 days to grow
but it nowhere states how the f you drain it into the incubation or if it needs to be mature

noble drift
#

"While using the infected Warframe with a fully matured cyst, the player can select "Begin Incubation" under the Kubrow Breeding tab. There, a new Helminth Cyst option will appear at the bottom of the Incubator menu via a button marked "Drain". Clicking this will bring up a confirmation dialog, after which the incubation process will proceed as it would for any other Kubrow. "

thank you

zenith jacinth

-# Coulda just googled it

pastel frost

zenith jacinth

Well that is straight up copy pasted from some google result

noble drift
#

and from the previous paragraph on the wiki "24 hours after infection, a pink cyst will appear on the infected Warframe's neck, which will reach full size after another 6 days indicated by a single tendril emerging from the follicle." just so you know what "fully matured cyst" is.

Oh from the wiki

Does it have a guide for liches too or is that too complicated for the wiki

Dont the operators feel what their warframes feel when they transfer to the frame? Or am i mis-remembering lore?

Yes. Which opens an interesting thing, considering that the Operator was within Jade when she... yeah

I’m very curious to see how resources and missions will work with old peace since it’s all a memory bath

With focus it can likely be chalked up to techniques we are relearning and memorizing
Like war within

I believe there was an interview with the Narrative team where they said that "Drifter had a reason to go to Tau, the Old Peace will give the Operator one"

woeful patio
#

If the drifter leave from 1999 will the loop colapse??

woeful patio
#

THX GOD

#

I can now leave my husband arthur there and stay in peace

zenith jacinth
#

Obv not, drifter isn't the source of the loop

woeful patio
#

Look, the loop spell is a complete "?" For me

zenith jacinth
#

Albrecht somehow created it but it only looped 1 day, after the hex quest it gets extended through unknown means

woeful patio
#

Well he said the bomb needed to explode

#

Ik it was bc of the war and infestation

zenith jacinth
#

The reactor was probably the initial energy source for the loop

woeful patio
#

Extermination

zenith jacinth
#

But the reactor no longer melts down in the fixed loops

zenith jacinth
woeful patio
#

Well... Clonning boybands seems to create umbelivable horrors on the future...

#

Anyway

#

Soo entrati may or may not knew our loop cast

#

Maybe that is why he was in a hurry to go on tau

#

He tough we would cast a loop there and bye?

zenith jacinth
woeful patio
zenith jacinth
#

That was the techrot

woeful patio
#

...yes...

zenith jacinth
#

Techrot came before coda

woeful patio
#

Im talking about the techrot...

#

.....

#

I was talking about the techrot it self but ok

tardy quiver
#

but why did drifter have to keep the loops going on forever, even after the hex finale which is the good ending for them?

zenith jacinth
woeful patio
#

If the nuke dont go boom infestation grow, if techrot grow no orokin, no warframes, no tennos that means in a really confusong way and probably out of mind

undone lodge
#

They also still have the issue of the Helminth developing further

woeful patio
#

IF wally stopped the bomb

#

That could make a empty path the wally invade the origin system

zenith jacinth
woeful patio
#

Its a dumb detail but rlly open alot of theories

tardy quiver
#

sooo... that means the fixed version is another small world of ours? (like duviri)

Does the bomb go boom?

Actually it would be rlly funny and at some point whem we do the new year kiss the bright light flashing is the nuke consuming everything

zenith jacinth
tardy quiver
#

xd

woeful patio
#

Its a reactor

#

It has radiation

#

It go boom

tardy quiver
#

like, i just thought that, meltdown prevented, the team saved, done, now we look forward to 2000

woeful patio
#

Its a nuke

tardy quiver
#

but no, we are stuck in 1999 forever

woeful patio
#

To be fair it stops being a reactor the moment it explodes

dense ice
#

so, is 1999 going through a bootstrap paradox?

zenith jacinth
undone lodge
zenith jacinth
#

A bomb is intended to explode, a reactor is not

woeful patio
#

I wonders if theres a ...cure? For the protos

dense ice
#

so what events gets carried over from 1999 over to the present day without the use of time travel

woeful patio
#

Or a way to stop or reduce the helminth

zenith jacinth
zenith jacinth
#

The temple frame we use is a copy of a fully transformed flare

dense ice
#

but didn't temple get time travel to hibernate

zenith jacinth
woeful patio
dense ice
#

I don't understand how he slept for thousands of years

woeful patio
#

The loop is just a "torture" for them

dense ice
#

and then awakened in the orokin extinction

zenith jacinth
dense ice
#

so duviri loop is just ignored?

zenith jacinth
zenith jacinth
woeful patio
#

Well... The infestation madness says otherwise...

zenith jacinth
dense ice
#

wasn't there like a rule for kaya's time travel to be like: you need to return to 1999 before the loop occurs

It also happens after (to Scraps message, not felfuris)

#

I don't understand the rules of kaya's time travel to make a consensus that temple just slept for thousands of years to participate in the Naga drums

obtuse gyro
#

you the drifter makes trips back

obtuse gyro
dense ice
#

so, then, did temple time travel or no?

obtuse gyro
dense ice
#

then aren't they subjected to the loop?

obtuse gyro
#

you and I are presently time traveling the long way right this instant

zenith jacinth

#

Whem the bubble stops it all gets back to normal

obtuse gyro
#

just because you edit one section of a tape doesnt mean the rest of a tape doesnt exist

dense ice
#

so temple just slept for unteenth period of time for the loop to be dispelled

woeful patio
#

Kinda

tardy quiver
obtuse gyro
#

I find it more stable to think of the 1999 loop as a sub-game that produces effects in the timeline, which is the main-game

obtuse gyro
#

1999 loops, the drifter can at any time return to the present and come back

#

this is critical to kaya leaving 1999

woeful patio
#

The time is locked in

#

Its like

#

Protea time bubble

tardy quiver
#

so confusing xddd

obtuse gyro
woeful patio
#

The time in there is locked but it dont means you cant just leave

obtuse gyro
#

why do you arbitrarily say that time is locked

dense ice
woeful patio
#

A loop is a block

#

It will not go further it will consistently reset

dense ice
#

well time travel is like you can be gone from the past and be back the second you left

zenith jacinth
dense ice
tardy quiver
#

like, it still bothers me why 1999 must be looped infinitely

obtuse gyro
# dense ice still waiting for more ppl to say I'm right or wrong

well, not exactly the right way to phrase it:

assuming (which I heavily disagree) that time is stuck there, temple will always end the loop sleeping in a rock until the loop breaks

alternatively, the loop does not need to be dispelled, all it does is decide what events constitute the past, and time proceeds from there

obtuse gyro
woeful patio
dense ice
#

imagine the loop is dispelled at the end of warframe

woeful patio
#

2 no explosion no techrot smite

#

3 maybe drifter know how turn it on but dont know how to turn it off

obtuse gyro
woeful patio
#

Its not like it comes with a guide book

zenith jacinth
obtuse gyro
#

so either randomly the loop is destined to end, or the loop doesnt hold back time

woeful patio
zenith jacinth
woeful patio
#

Yes

obtuse gyro
woeful patio
#

Only if someone go there and starts the melting process again

dense ice
#

so is albrecht time travel the reality that happened? like is that the reality that got changed or is the 1999 loop's history the reality

woeful patio
#

Both

tardy quiver
#

wait wait wait... so 1999 is looped but 2000 still happens (?), how?

obtuse gyro
#

Why do we keep assuming that

woeful patio
#

Inside the bubble 1999 still happening

#

Bubble blows year still going

#

#

why is it the assumption that the loop must end???

if that is the case then is 1999 just we waiting and waiting, until the loop ends and everything fixes itself?

woeful patio
#

99 must end

#

The bomb must go off

obtuse gyro
# tardy quiver i'm just asking why xdd

I posit to you this scenario:
you play a one of kind roleplaying game. It has missions, much like the original halo games. The gimmick here is that as you play through, you make choices that affect later missions and as you play you discover that you really dont like a choice you made in an earlier mission. The gimmick allows you to return to that mission, and change that choice, which changes the events of the mission youre presently at. Do you follow me?

(Assuming the reactor doesn't blow up, probably)

No explosion the infestation will keep growing

livid glen
woeful patio
#

Infestation in my eyes is one of the sci-fi most destructive thing ever

obtuse gyro
# tardy quiver yes, sort of

thats how I see it, no need for the loop to end, only a need to ensure the loop turns out a certain way to dictate the way forward

livid glen

The explosion was almost certainly engineered by Albrecht

That only matters when it ends

woeful patio
#

Who knows

#

Maybe drifter will start the reactor

#

Maybe not the possibilities are infinte

woeful patio
#

Maybe the orokin never existed

livid glen
#

The difference is that, for all the Drifter cares, each loop isn't really it's own thing

#

It happens on the same linear path

We are perfectly satisfied with just one

#

every time time passes, the rna (the timeline if events) is coding the protein. us fiddling around in 1999 is changing the codons in the rna strand. the final protein product is changed.

and the almighty ribosome of time (the loop) starts the rna strand again

livid glen
obtuse gyro
#

the loop repeats regardless of the good ending or not, and the mad chicken has already fled the coop

livid glen
#

So we're assuming that the loop can't be stopped?

#

'Cause that's completely different

#

I was working under the assumption that we choose to continue looping.

obtuse gyro
#

otherwise drifter would have done the smart thing and end it

#

no need to entertain questions about loops

livid glen
obtuse gyro
#

but also the looping does damage to the timeline, which is the purpose of ETA/TA

#

so like, theres very little true benefit to keeping the loop going

Tbf the loop mostly exists just for gameplay, the lore reasons came second

1999's loop was long in place before the drifter started meddling in things

livid glen

#

entrati tells you this to your face during the quest that it was looping already

fierce kiln
#

then drifters ability is it to be able to remember all the loops

#

hm i was sure the fist slam has to symbolize their loop ability when thraxx did the same and hes a manifestation by drifter

livid glen
#

They can loop early from my understanding

fierce kiln
#

i wonder if entrati had to invent time travel himself or if he by some paradox simply stole kayas notes lol

winged obsidian
# fierce kiln hm i was sure the fist slam has to symbolize their loop ability when thraxx did ...

Yeah, Drifter can loop on their own with ✹Void magic✹ after the end of Duviri’s Paradox. It was looping before by Entrati with him blowing up everything each end of 1999 to restart it since he doesn’t get magic powers lol. But Drifter has to keep up the loop to keep the good end of timeline in order to fight back against Wally since it was fixed on the bad end where everyone dies

livid glen
#

So... the Drifter keeps the loop voluntarily?

#

I swear everyone seems to have different opinions on this

#

I wish the game was more obvious

#

On if the loop is impossible to stop or if the Drifter decides to do it for... reasons

#

For now I'll assume they don't have a choice and the loop is forced đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

fierce kiln
#

operator gets to relive their forgotten traumas while drifter gets to chill after an eternity of executions lol

#

i so very hope the hex eventually appear in the future and we get the interactions that were somewhat teased in the chats

#

arthur got a text where he says since he trust you with his life, its fine if you make them forget
one answer option is "thanks i have to keep loop to try and date your sister" 😭😭😭

so loop = forever alive or something

The transformation itself does not instantly cause the insanity, and I personally still believe it was entirely the orokin's fault when frames did go crazy due to them trying to torture frames into obeying

Lettie does care about Eleanor and doesn’t like the fact she’s closest to turning monster mode

So she gives the image of hating Eleanor as a mechanism to try to make the process of possibly killing her easier.

Then in the quest where drifter fixes everything Lettie forgoes any hesitation to check on Eleanor after she resists joining the techrot.

Yeah ultimately the loop only still exists for gameplay purposes, the lore reasons and story seems to have come second

I kind of was under the impression we'll move on from the loop when more story comes out for 1999. IF more story comes out of it.

Even if the 1999 story continues after Tau, the loop will still continue for sake of gameplay, with the calendar rewards and the romances

# peak cobalt I haven't reset or anything in my game, but also I was under the initial impress...

Sorry to Necromancer this... but... I've come onto an idea here.

Talking to Lizzie has revealed to us that The Infestation's Hive-Mind transcends linear time. Everything that is Infested is connected... but its communication are subject to some limiters. With that in mind... it's not really a surprise that the Hex are maintaining some degree of persistence through the Loops. Even with the safeguards that Albrecht put on their specific injections... the Protoframes are still as Infested as any Warframe.

Even though the Techrot can't fully subsume them into the hive... some part of the Hex Members' consciousness exists within the Collective Consciousness of the Infestation. That little bit is probably drip-feeding them pure vibes of who they've grown to be... even if Albrecht's safeguards prevent more overt intrusions.

Make sense?

rain otter

Oh aim

noble drift
peak cobalt
#

Never apologize for necromancy. I love to yap

#

That makes sense if infestation in them did have that effect, but God that's gotta suck to experience

wooden cedar
#

Now that I think about it... The Infested Hive-Mind is probably critical to Albrecht's Plan to fight the Man in the Walls because of how a person's memories and experiences can bleed across time (and timelines) through it.

Eternalism states that all possible pasts, presents, and futures are equally real. However, there is only one Void shared between all of eternity... and there's only one of the beings that live there. That means that there is only one Man in the Walls... and that there's only one Infested Hive-Mind.

We also know that all Warframes, even Cloned Warframes like the ones we build, inherit a bit of the person used to make the original. Based on what Lizzie has told us... that's probably the Hive-Mind connecting to that Warframe and putting as much of what's supposed to be there in there as it can. However... there can't be a singular original person. There's an infinite number of the "Original Person" smeared across Eternalistic Time... and ALL OF THEM are meeting in the single Hive Mind shared across Eternity.

If the Protoframes are experiencing something similar... then it's not just our versions of the Hex that they're getting vibes from as the Loops keep spinning.

If every Warframe Player is experiencing a bit of the Eternalistic Timeframe where they are the Chosen Operator that Wally cut the deal with, and the other players are effectively just other Tenno in-setting, then there's a 1999 for every player. That means that we aren't just helping one version of the Hex... we're all contributing to strengthening The Hex's "Echo" in the Infested Hive Mind.

Since that Echo has a bit of feedback to every version of The Hex... we're actually changing Time by altering what's POSSIBLE. Because the only things that don't exist across Eternity are the things that can NEVER happen... and our interactions with The Hex (amplified by the Hive Mind giving a feedback loop) are changing what they could even concieve of doing.

All of that sums up to something... kinda amazing: Protoframes can actually "Coordinate" across Eternalistic Time through that feedback loop, that hive-mind bleed... and effectively fight Wally across every possible section of time simultaniously.

#

Basically... we're writing "LOVE" into The Hex's part of the Hive-Mind across all timelines, and it has a positive feedback loop once it gets up to critical mass.

That's poison to Wally.

peak cobalt
wooden cedar
# peak cobalt I've lost every intelligent word in my brain since it struck 1 am but I do want ...

One last bit.

This isn't overwriting them as people because the Infested Hive-Mind has some degree of distance within itself. There's limits to how fast information can propagate within it, and a lot of its actions are reflexive. The Drones we normally fight are more like White-Blood Cells than animals. That's why Lizzie can't just share her revelations about willing symbiosis with the rest of the Infestation. Knowledge takes time (for lack of a better word) to move around The Void and back into Time.

The Hex is getting a feedback signal from the Infestation... but the propagation of it is slow enough from the perspective of The Void that Albrecht's Safeguards are keeping it under control and preventing them from being subsumed.

I wonder if "Infested Madness" is actually just the feeling of every other Infested version of you slamming your heads together at Mach 5 in the Hive Mind, and a subsequent loss of identity?

Coordination is probably too strong a word, tbh... but I don't have a better one.

It is attached to the idea that there is an in-universe explanation for "everyone is the Chosen one" (in a similar vein to Destiny), but I think its more likely to be a bit more ludonarrative than actual lore

According to the chats we have with lizzie, its not so much the slamming of "other" versions of you, but rather the expansion of you to the infested collective. Think of it like your individuality being subsumed into the borg

#

you go mad because now youre part of something way bigger than your mind and body is supposed to be

wooden cedar
#

You're hitting the collective, the collective is hitting you... none of it is left feeling very good since the Collective doesn't handle integration well.

obtuse gyro
#

I dont think it can be a case of you losing your identity because youre being slammed into other infested versions of yourself, because well, that would just reinforce that identity

#

because realistically all other players versions of the hex are almost near identical save for the events of a year

If I overlap that many arthur shaped arthurs, all I have is still arthur

Bit of a case of being Mutually Eldrich Abominations, I think.

The Infestation is too alien for us to comprehend it, and we're too alien to the infestation for it to comprehend. Then it just keeps pumping in more people to figure out what we are, because it's fascinated... and it took until Lizzie for it to fully work out what talking to people is.

I really want an explanation for how the heck the Helminth Strain got found the first time.

Sorry, got Eternalism on the brain. Everything is found, even if you build it, when you look at it from that perspective. It's all wandering the right path in a random walk.

It's... weird that the Orokin could figure out how to block off the Hive-Mind from being able to fully integrate with Warframes. Feels like there's something more to it than just the Orokin solving physics again. Especially with how much of a pain Wally is to deal with. Only reason he's not a bigger problem is that Albrecht accidentally cut off a finger closing the door.

If the Hive Mind is the same kind of being... what's the finger that got cut off to limit them?

Woah there, thats too deterministic for a game that uses Eternalism non-deterministically

I've got Crack Theories for that one.

The one I favor, at the moment, is this: I think the Deimos is the Infestation's version of DARPA, just with less Ethical restraints. It's trying to develop better countermeasures against the threats it is experiencing by setting up an adversarial process on Deimos. Basically playing war-games against itself... but its nature lets live-fire war-games make sense. It's basically using the evolutionary process to refine its tactics and "tools".

Alternatively, it's the Entrani Family's fault. The Infestation found a fascinating strain of Love among that crowd. The mutual belligerence of the Entrani mixed in with how much they care about each-other just caught its attention... and it's emulating them in its own special way as a result. Vome and Fass are basically Daughter and Son hand-puppets while the Infestation tries to work out what it's looking at.

The second is a bit more fun... and leans a bit harder into what we've had with Lizzie of late. A weird case of the Eldrich Abomination becoming fascinated with the things its mind wasn't meant to understand... and causing absolute havoc on those things as it tries to bridge the gap.

Defense Advanced Research Programs Agency. US Military R&D Division, created after the US got caught with its pants down regarding Sputnik.

Their job is to fund research with potential military or medical applications that won't recieve funding elsewhere, because it's a long-shot. They funded development of the original Internet Protocols, because they needed a distributed communication system that wouldn't utterly fail if a Telephone Hub got nuked.

# wooden cedar I've got Crack Theories for that one. The one I favor, at the moment, is this: ...

those are interesting theories, yeah
the war-games approach is interesting but not very likely, i think
because they're not having small conflicts, one reforms and kills the other immediately, all infested there "swap" to the active sibling
i could see the relationships of the entrati fam bleeding into the landscape of deimos and creating that conflict, though. a little basic for the explanation but its probably the most likely

Most Lovecraftian Horror is rooted in the sheer indifference of those Eldritch beings that could crush you without ever realizing you exist. It's a lot of what makes Wally concerning, especially if he ever gets his finger back and stops being bound to the Strands of Khra.

The Infestation is a spin on that same theme... except it's terrifying for the exact opposite reason. This Eldritch Being that our minds cannot begin to comprehend in its entireity... loves us. It loves us so much that it wants to be close to us... on a cellular level. The horror is that it wants us... but it fundamentally can't understand us, either. Its efforts to do so in spite of its limitations... aren't pleasant.

noble drift
#

I think Wally's got a bit of that going on too, what with all his creepy clones going around trying to be other people to understand those people. Trying to discover empathy by taking the literal dictionary definition of "putting yourself in somebody else's place"... and then using it on a bunch of people with really warped world views.

peak cobalt
#

My gamer theory on wally is that he feeds on potential, on possibility, what can be. If that makes sense.

So anything that limits possibility by locking things into a certain timelines is a no-go for him.

My interpretation of the zariman scene was not only him culling off all your "possibility" but devouring it.

Big theory, I don't have solid evidence for this.

Basically, if you work for the grineer for 5 invasion missions, you get marked by zanuka, which means there's a low chance zanuka will show up in a corpus tileset to try and capture you. if you get caught, you're transported to jupiter and have to try to escape. if you kill it, you might get a Detron weapon part.

If you work for the corpus for 5 invasion missions, you get marked by the grustrag 3, which means there's a low chance they'll show up in a grineer tileset to try and nerf you. if they down you successfully, they'll put an ascaris negator on you, which cuts your stats. if you beat em, you get might get a multishot mod, a Brakk part, and a compenent for an orbiter ship.
