Warframe Shower Thoughts on Time Travel
Since Warframe's new storyline is delving more into time travel, it's rather interesting that the narrative has already answered the question/plot hole of "Why don't we just time travel over and over again until we get it right?"
It's not that we can't. As far as we know, we're planning to travel back to 1999 again and just not be late, this time. The Palimpsest of Spacetime outright says that events can be rewritten, though traces of the original will persist, and accordingly we're pretty comfortable with saving Golden Cradles in the Undercroft on a regular basis.
So we clearly can.
Why don't we do it more often?
It's because, as the Drifter learns in The Duviri Paradox, constantly resetting the Spiral to get everything right is a trap that leaves them stagnant, stuck, spinning inside their little wheel.
I mean, there's a lot of people in this System who would benefit from a second chance, be it the Kavor, that Syndicate hostage we failed to save, that Solaris who got hauled off for brainshelving, and so on. Eudico has a ton of guilt over her many failures. Konzu remembers people who are still lost to their Narmer veils. Shouldn't we want to fix everything, since we kind of can?
So why don't we?
It's because, as the Operator learns in The New War, getting trapped in a recursive timeline means they have to re-experience all the bad bits too and, worse, while they're stuck in the past they're losing the war in the present with dire consequences for the people they love.
Warframe's take on recursive and infinite time travel loops doesn't necessarily need technobabble to explain plot holes like "Why don't Operator/Drifter just use time travel to undo every bad event?" It's enough that both visions of its main characters have in-character reasons to think "That's not always the best idea."
Kind of a neat little twist to DE's storytelling.

WF OCs so far
Rees Fayne: Operator. She strives to be kind despite the cruelty she's faced, but she can also be efficient in a fight. She has fears of abandonment which makes her clingy to her loved ones.
Alden Thale: Limbo Graxx. A slightly grumpy, old mathematician, once respected for calculating the coordinates for void travel. As Rees's adoptive father, he does what he can to protect her.
Roch: Harrow Graxx. Reconstructed by the Queen from his former self's ashes. He has faint memories of his time as a mercenary for the Red Veil. He regrets failing his mission to protect Rell.
Tima: Wisp Graxx. A legend whispered among the Kavor survivors was of a ghostly Warframe who freed them before their captors could dissect them. She is a guardian to all defectors searching for peace, and even adopted their look.
Amanita: Saryn. A stranded Warframe on Sedna surviving through pure force of will. She has complicated feelings towards the Lotus and loathes Grineer. She has no memory of her old self.

Kavor headcanons because I love them so so much
-Many groups of Kavor defectors have formed their own colonies or societies on earth, so they can experience richer qualities of life. These settlements are well hidden, and only members of the Steel Meridian know where they are (in the case of an emergency)
-Said settlements are also very self sustaining. What the Kavor lack in muscle and aggression they make up for in intelligence. Many try to educate themselves in certain fields to fill rolls needed in their colonies (medical care, farming/gardening, technician, etc.)
-due to being on earth, these settlements are always at risk of being discovered or stormed by grineer. For this reason, Steel Meridian often sends armed guards to patrol the sites, and send supplies and weapons to the Kavor.
-like the Steel Meridian, Kavor architecture and technology is very reminiscent of the Grineer. However, many have also tried to build off of the land, instead of relying on scrap metal stolen from Grineer ships.
Feel free to add onto this uvu

drew a super self indulgent Warframe oc. She doesn’t have a name yet but she’s a Kavor who sold most of herself to some curious Corpus scientists hoping to get the upper hand over the Grineer. Luckily for her there’s cybernetics for that, unluckily they cost waaaay more then the living ones so Fortuna rig slave labor time. She got the tattoos to blend in!

oooh codex #6 for any of your kids? :3
oof, I am so sorry this took me so long! Going with the letter format again, since I did enjoy that previously :3 This time... actually using it to dip my toe in the waters of Warframe writing.
6. someone describing a time your OC helped them
Sister,
It happened, it finally happened - the Tenno came for us! Defended us from the monsters. I’d have never believed it if not for seeing it with my own eyes. Have you ever seen a Tenno up close before, sister? They’re not at all what we were told. Beasts, yes, but glittering and magnificent to behold. This one wielded their weapons with a grace unmatched by even our best soldiers. They are power; beautiful and deadly. I was mesmerized, fell behind and thought I’d be left for dead for my foolishness. But just as the terrors began to overrun me, clawing and griping for me, a hand reached out to grasp my own. It was warmer than I expected, soft and yet firm as I was hoisted to my feet. Yet as I blinked up at my rescuer, the eyeless facade of the beast was not what I saw.
What I saw, dear sister, was an angel. The small figure of a child, outlined against a glittering jewel bathed in blood. It was no frame of war, no Tenno monster. It smiled at me, and in a gentle voice said “I’ve got you.”. But no sooner did I blink and the silhouette had vanished, replaced by the bloodied beast. Warmth radiated throughout me as I was rushed along to meet with my comrades on the transport. A tingling sensation coursing throughout my body with an energy that I can only believe came from the Tenno.
I’ve thought of little else, I must see more of the Tenno. I think maybe I will join the Steel Meridian. There are whispers here that they work with our saviours. Forgive me, I know I said we would see each other as soon as I escaped the nightmares, but I must do this. I must see these magnificent angels in action once more.
Forever Yours, Shik’ti

Grineer Creativity - Songs and the Tal Hymn
Creativity is discouraged among the Grineer rank and file, but singing has found its place as an accepted form of expression, mostly because it promotes unity among the troops, and can serve to keep everyone working in rhythm with each other, similar to sea shanties.
The two groups of Grineer that sing the most without worrying about being caught and punished are the plains Grineer, since nobody who would care can hear them out on the plains anyway, and the Defectors - be they Meridian or Kavor. All Grineer sing to some degree, and it’s said that hearing an engine room that doesn’t have singing coming out of it on a Galleon is either a sign of a Tenno attack or a surprise inspection.
Most Grineer songs are stories, of sorts - Grineer history converted into song form, and you can generally figure out where a Grineer came from by which oral histories through songs they know. There are a few songs that just about every Grineer knows, and even the youngest learn them quickly, and new songs are rare to come across, unless some sort of significant event happens.
This song-based oral tradition is part of the Steel Meridian and Kavor, of course, but they are far more open with their songs than any other group of Grineer. New songs are far more common among them, of course.
The most famous of the defectors’ songs is known as the Tal Hymn - Tal being a Grineer suffix used to denote a defective clone, also used to indicate defectors, some of whom have embraced it and wear it as a badge.
The Tal Hymn starts almost identically to a loyalist Grineer song written to praise the Twin Queens, before modulating into a minor key and beginning to tell the story of a defector - usually implied to be the singer (or at least the original songwriter). The song ends modulating back to a major key and the last line of the song is “Praise the Glory of Free Choice”
Rumors in the Iron Wake say that as time goes on and more Defectors tell their stories, the Tal Hymn has gotten longer as more parts are added, and some feel that the Tal Hymn tells the story of all defectors, not just the original songwriter.
Some Meridian Grineer don’t consider someone a true defector until they sing the Tal Hymn (exceptions are made for selectively mute, mute, or deaf Grineer who cannot sing, of course, but there has been a serious effort to translate it into Grineer sign language so even the Grineer who can’t hear or speak will have a chance to learn it) and the first time someone leads the Tal Hymn is considered a rite of passage among many defectors.

Oops new oc His name is Chrobak Tal and he has right side weakness after a head injury. He's a Kavor defector and a big sweetheart who likes bugs, even though he's only seen pictures. (His name, Chrobăk, is what Google translate said is the Slovakian word for beetle)

Attempting to answer as much of the Warframe Ask Game as I can:
Always hard to pick favorites, but the Zenith, Cyanex, and Endura are three good ones.
While most of my favorite frames are more for ranged combat I will always love getting up close and personal.
Void or Electric.
Loki, which almost certainly shows my warframe age.
Too many to pick from
Nef Anyo. Alad's a jerk too but he's a jerk I can stab.
Might just be the Tenno's stuff, at least weapon-wise. Either them or the Entrati, or Solaris United. Again, picking favorites is hard.
One good contender is probably from the story in the spoiler room on Deimos, in which Albrecht Entrati encounters the Man in the Wall and barely escapes. Imagine being somebody who didn't but into Albrecht's theories and then seeing his lab filled with giant severed fingers from a being that nobody thought existed.
Dual Oculus.
Maybe Fae Path?
Verv. I like the energy bracelets but the rest is way too busy and tends to mess with what I'm trying to do with my fashionframes.
Cy.
I may have lowered it slightly but I still listen to his many quips.
Might be call of the Tempestarii, which I should replay at some point to find the shanty somachords.
Presently: Red Veil, Steel Meridian, Perrin Sequence. Working on trading Perrin for Suda, the Arbiters will probably become allies too but I'll be blunt when I say that I don't have the highest opinion of them.
Barnam's Pride, after a part of the filk song Dawson's Christian.
Kubrows, by a hair. Although I really just tend to field sentinels.
We All Lift. Second place goes to This is What You Are.
Umbra stabbing Ballas in the gut. The adoption papers have been signed.
Corpus. Too many ways to shut out powers, knock frames down, and I still have some trouble hitting ospreys from time to time.
It's been way too long for me to remember. Maybe Ember Prime?
I try to do that, but I don't always remember to switch between my two main color schemes for everything I have.
Vauban or Protea. They seem like the ones most likely to remember stuff and think of good things to get.
Neutral, slightly leaning towards sun.
Dunno!
Fortuna
Cavaraveric, Log-Rec Toris, & Legolaie. Used to have a Red Veil engineer named Shinni who I kept making Shinji jokes about.
Valkyr Prime
I still stand by the idea that all the frames have kept some amount of consciousness, or at least develop new ones over time.
Public. Hell can be other people but I'm not here to go with god. That and randomly coming across moments of helping others is nice.
Almost all of my frames use some amount of the Valentine palette. Although I feel I should take a closer look at Cherub in the future.
Either Ticker's or one of the Tusk floofs
As neat as the Business is I may have to give it to Son.
I could go with something like Cy's "Aim for the head, and may the saints look away," but I think I'll instead for something that's been stuck in my head thanks to my days of grinding for Harrow: "What makes you abhor violence, Kavor? Is it genetic? Can we exploit it? We require answers. Answers demand a sacrifice. Do not interfere, Tenno."
I haven't come up with a name yet. Guess she's just Rhynerd like me for now.
Zephyr.

“Tenno, change of plans, join the infested Kavor so we may find an antidote.” “Tenno I have marked more infested pods to rest your warframe.” “Tenno… join them.”
“Join us, mwahahaha…! Oh shit did that give it away? Anyways join us it’s really nice.”
AJDGJSFHJD
val changing the waypoints to make the pods and her infested spores look like important waypoints while the screen sometimes changes it back to destructible waypoints. val keeps trying to convince the tenno to stop destroying them and just drink the val juice skfjdkf

things I learned reading NPC quotes on the wiki
long, long post mild spoilers for The War Within, spoiler for a key plot point in Sands of Inaros, significant Natah spoilers, and a moderate but not super important spoiler for The Second Dream
"'I'm doing a great job. I am a valued member of this functional and productive Kuva team.' Does this describe you? If so, I'd love to have some [laughs] face time with you! Just pull out the synergy pin of your service collar and count to four!" - Worm Queen in an announcement aboard the Kuva Fortress
Service collar huh? I've always thought there have to be some extra things the Grineer (and Corpus) are doing to keep their soldiers, workers, and crews from panicking and/or surrendering when warframes show up, beyond the obvious things like desertion punishments, controlling their livelihoods, knowing where their families live (for those who have families, we'll revisit that in another quote), and being in some cases the only way of life those people can imagine. All of that can't always stop someone from making an impulsive decision based on fear and desperation, or stop them from failing to act.
We know the Grineer are genetically loyal to the Queens and defectors like Steel Meridian and the Kavor are the results of genetic errors. So there's that, of course, and that's huge. But on top of that they have explosive collars, apparently. This might just be a Kuva Fortress thing, as it's the most important and sensitive operation in the entire Grineer dominion (capital D?).
Synergy pin is an interesting term. Synergy with what?
There's one other use of that word in Warframe that I can find: the Hunter Synergy mod.
The Continuity mod's name and function directly relate to the lore. The Orokin called their process of bodysnatching to cheat death "Continuity" (and the Queens still call it that). So maybe there's something to this. Something to do with the Link function a bunch of companion mods have.
"Tenno bones will be the foundation of Grineer homes!" - Vay Hek during The Cicero Crisis event
Grineer, at least some of them, have homes. They aren't all forced to spend their whole lives bunking in their workplaces like domestik drones on standby. Maybe they have tours of duty and time off (when they survive long enough).
"Ronrer grat hus for rhunner?" | "Wonder what is for dinner?" "Grat a dovely day." | "What a lovely day." "Hu sroudr kas kle rhufe." | "I should call the wife." - Drahk Master patrolling/idle lines
Oh great. They have spouses. I'm never going to be able to fill a Drahk Master full of warcrime projectiles quite the same way again.
Even worse:
"Out redkhung kle rog." | "Out walking the dog."
:(
And now back to Councilor Vay Hek!
"Earth is for settlements! Settlements! Settlements!" "We deserve more than a cold, dark asteroid! Earth for the Grineer! Earth for our Queens!" - propaganda broadcasts via a Regulator drone during The Cicero Crisis
Speaking of homes, they really want to have homes on Earth, or at least Vay Hek does.
"Tenno? TENNO?! Ooh, is it my birth interval?! Such a gift! But, I have a surprise for you, you GREASY METAL MAGGOT! HAHAHAHAHAHA!" - Vay Hek during Saya's Vigil quest
Grineer have some concept of a birthday celebration. Don't know whether the average Grineer pays attention to their birth interval or celebrates it or if it's just upper-class Grineer like Vay Hek, but then again, with clone rot and all the dangers of the Origin system, maybe the least powerful Grineer individuals would value, all the more, each birth interval they live to see.
"Grineer, my sons, prepare the reinforcements. We need that Tenno." - Vor during the Vor's Prize quest "You have murdered my sons and disgraced me before my Queens. But soon the Ascaris will complete its task and bring you to me." "We Grineer are millions strong, but with a flaw. We are...diseased. Rotten. Sterile. But now, we have you! I did this for my love, my Queens. They will forgive my insubordination when I deliver you to them. Our love will be reborn as we feed on your divine blood. Our children will flourish without disease. And I will die, at last, at peace. Father. Grandfather."
Some people probably remember a lot of the Vor's Prize lines, but it can be hard to pay attention while learning the game, and for some it's been a long time since then. So I guess it's justifiable to include these.
First of all, he says the Grineer are millions strong. Only millions? That's not a large population considering the current population of Earth in real life is estimated to be 7.8-7.9 billion. The Corpus also represent some percentage of the human population, and we know there are relatively independent settlements out there like Cetus, the Mycona Colony, and the name-unknown colony/civilization Baro Ki'teer came from which existed on Mars until the Grineer destroyed it. Against all that, the Grineer are mere millions.
They seem to be able to maintain their population at that level with their cloning. The Tenno slaughtering Grineer by the shipfull certainly doesn't help. This brings us back to Vor's mention that the Grineer are sterile. This the kind of foundational fact you pick up in brief summaries of Warframe's factions: the Grineer reproduce only through cloning and their lifespans are short even when a violent death doesn't befall them. But they still have marriage. Whether Grineer marriages are usually for love or for some other form of partnership, I don't know. It's nice to think that even in the midst of their horrible, imperialist, militarist society ruled by shameless despots, Grineer probably have zero qualms about homosexuality, asexuality, and aromanticism, because there's zero pressure for individuals to form reproductive partnerships. Probably no delineated gender roles either as far as social matters go, though the consistent sexes of Scorpions and Ballistas and such suggest the sex of a clone is part of the template of genes, job, and equipment.
Anyway, Vor gives us our first example of Warframe's recurring theme of family. He's driven by the wish to be a father and a grandfather. He's motivated by love for the Queens, too, but he doesn't want to live forever as their consort or anything quite like that, he just wants to die someday in peace knowing he had children and his children had children.
He calls his troops his sons. I wonder how many Grineer captains and commanders feel this way? Worth mentioning that the Grineer all call each other brothers��which, considering the significant number of female soldiers they have, has probably become an effectively gender-neutral term in their culture. Are they brothers under fatherly commanding officers as a general rule? Are there just a few COs who take the metaphor that far? Vay Hek even calls the ghouls his children, and I don't think he's not serious about that.
There's also Tyl Regor:
"The Lotus...barking at you. Always so calm, always in control... She doesn't care about you, Tenno. She doesn't love you. Not like I loved the Tubemen you murdered."
That's rough, buddy.
Bonus:
"Attack me? My science? Maybe you thought you were dealing with that legless parrot? No, I'm no Hek. You give me a Fomorian fleet and you get a different outcome. Hellish outcome."
Hey, Tyl Regor thinks Vay Hek looks like a bird, too!
And here's what Tyl Regor thinks of the Sentients:
"The Sentient. The destroyer? The liberator? Depends on who you ask, but this, THIS thing is certain: I will have its secret!"
"So...the Sentient. Nasty thing. Came from where? Who cares...they smashed the Orokin. Freed us! How? How'd they do that? I want to know."
He has an interesting view of Teshin and the presumably the Dax in general:
"Is that...Teshin? So, [laughs] the pseudo-Tenno lives! Still drunk on your own honor? Shocked it hasn't rotted you through yet."
Let's recall that Forma and Exilus Adapters are part of the lore and Exilus Adapters were (re?)discovered by Tyl Regor in Hunhow's "tomb" during the Natah quest:
"Look! Exilus... Some primordial Forma? An engine for self-manipulation. What will it do for me?"
An engine for self-manipulation is very in line with what you'd expect to find in Sentient technology.
I wouldn't be surprised if, in a future update, it turns out Exilus tech has more history than that. The Tenno were fighting the Sentients in the Old War for who-knows-how-long. Almost seems unlikely that the Tenno and/or the Orokin never captured and studied any Exilus tech. But it could very easily have been lost after the Orokin empire fell and the Tenno retreated to Lua, and it evidently was.
Yet another line from Tyl Regor in the Natah quest brings us to another topic:
"Destroy this tomb? Destroy our history? Vandals!"
The Lotus is later accused again of tampering with history, by Alad V in The Second Dream:
"Sweet profit, the Moon exists! It-it was in the Void all along! I knew the Lotus was powerful, but this, she erased history! We thought it was destroyed all this time! Huh, my, my, Lotus, you make a fine villain."
Alad V has a ton of lines! He's been involved in a list of events and quests a mile long! So this is a good place to end this post and say I'll make another one and then never do that because ADHD.

So this is a weird hot take I had and I’m not sure how to fully verbalize it.
Grineer Manic are one of my favorite enemies in warframe hands down. Their designs are cool, and the way they function is interesting to me. But I feel there is a strange significance in where they pop up and why.
Grineer Manic can pop up in both Clem survival and Defection missions. You know. Missions with defective Grineer. Something else I picked up on is that it feels like most of the Steel Meridian missions that take place on Uranus are spy or rescue missions. This implies something, I feel. Tyl has something that Cressa wants, and the Defectors have something Tyl wants. I do not believe that Grineer Manic are actually sent to kill defectors, rather it seems more that Tyl wants information from them, most likely manic are sent to capture them. Specifically, I think, he wants to study their genetic makeup. Find what makes them different from a normal Grineer, what allows them to defect so freely. What he wants to do with this information is unclear. He could use it to his advantage, to create clones that are free thinking, or he could use the information to make sure NONE of his clones ever defect. It all depends how you view his actions I suppose.
In summary, Tyl has a strange fascination with studying Grineer Defectors, and has lots of data stored about them that Cressa tries to get out of his hands, while also trying to capture steel meridian and kavor for more data.

Do you /only/ make Operator characters? You have so many of them?
this is a good question cause i have… 23? 24? operators alone, and that’s A Few. i had to go count them, i can’t remember all of them off the top of my head.
short answer: nope, i also have a lot of cephalon characters, and all my operators have sapient warframes ever since the sacrifice came out. i just don’t talk about them as much because i’m definitely focused in more on operator stories than anything else.
long answer: i’ve asked this question myself Many Times, and it turns out i’ve made a bunch of characters who aren’t operator, warframe, or cephalon. here’s a list, if you were curious :0
(under a read more, because… long. but if you have any questions about them i would LOVE to answer them, so much)
Absel: Kavor. I joined Warframe during the pacifism defect event, and i completed it entirely solo. it was the first thing i ever did in Warframe at all, and i have very fond memories c’: if i didn’t have a Kavor character, it wouldn’t be right!
Canonically, Wyn was my operator during that event. Absel is one of the Kavor that Wyn rescued, but he was just a bit different. rather than leave when his turn came, he decided he wouldn’t escape until all of his people did, first. he refused to leave until he was nearly on death’s door himself, at which point he had to physically be dragged out of there.
He still wasn’t fighting more than he had to, because pacifist. but he also wasn’t about to just let people die when he could still help them.
Wyn made sure to keep in touch with him afterward, and they’re still good friends. I have a few written scenes that I haven’t posted where the two of them get to talk.
Sona: We haven’t gotten that much lore on the Quills or anything, but based on Onkko’s lore it seems like there’s a point where you’re given a choice on whether or not you want to be one. chosen by the Unum, all that stuff. Sona is an Ostron girl who’s essentially in an in-between state, part-Quill and part… normal. she’s working on it.
She appears in Mydas’s long story, where they’re trying to just leave the Tenno life behind and be an Ostron for the rest of their life. Sona is one of their friends, and then she starts to lean into this Quill destiny of hers, and it messes up their friendship because Mydas isn’t supposed to just vanish into the crowds of Cetus.
She’s only part Quill, at least as described in that narrative. she has the beginnings of that view that all points in time are happening at once, and if she really tries she can sort of see the future or the past, but she’s also kind of still stuck in the present moment. She’s learning, basically, to untether herself from causality. it’s taking time.
She isn’t exactly eager to be a Quill. even just starting to be one is messing up her life and friendships, but she wants to contribute to a future in which she gets to be happy, and her friends get to be happy, and she’s tired of Knowing Things and never acting on them.
Vire: a Traitor to solaris united!! he’s so ready to report everything he knows to Nef Anyo and get a big payout, but he hasn’t yet found the avenues to report those things, since Nef says “report to your foreman” and his foreman is literally… the voice of solaris united. he’s in a pickle.
so far i haven’t done much with him specifically but he’s fun for causing problems when i don’t have any problems to work with. ive written several very silly things with him in them.
Clava: My favorite, Clava is infested. partly. she lives with Van in their icky dojo, because Van has helped her to develop a… not a cure, by any stretch of the imagination, but a treatment. it’s something that stops the infestation from spreading to more of her body.
She’s lost an arm and a leg to it, so far, but since it’s stopped spreading through her body she’s able to live a decent life so long as she doesn’t go near other people. she keeps a sentinel to zap all the spores that might spread, but it’s just too dangerous to risk.
So she lives with Van, who has no fear, and anyone else who happens to want to visit Van’s dojo. Styx, for example.
Infested creatures adore her. yknow how the Helminth Charger is a dog but infested? all infested creatures are like that around her. it’s like she hypnotizes them. imagine a scene where a person is petting an Ancient Healer like a dog, surrounded by a garden of horrible infested plants? that’s the image i had in mind when i made this character.
she’s susceptible to the infested hivemind, but she’s too sweet to follow through on any violent actions it might ask her to do. very “a bagel” “NO” “two bagels” of her.
im tired and can’t remember anymore but i Hope that answered your question. i do, sometimes, create characters that aren’t operators. i have to bend the lore to do it (and i don’t care if it doesn’t work so pls don’t go telling me there’s something in lore that debunks any of these peoples’ existences) but i do make em
#celaeno speaks#Anonymous#answered asks#the reason i make so many operators is it's very easy to be lore friendly with an operator#want one that works with steel meridian? perfect#one who's like weirdly focused on the infestation? someones gotta be#there are endless possibilities (and i really like to explore those possibilities)#but it's also really hard to be like 'there's no way this operator would actually exist in warframe's lore'#bc warframe's lore around operators is essentially. Zariman. Old War. Second Dream.#they all have those things in common but otherwise it's pretty open ended so i can do what i want#with other characters i feel a bit more limited i guess#the reason i don't talk about characters besides operators much is i really don't want people telling me im not allowed to do something bc#there's some bit of lore somewhere that i forgot#or never heard about or something?#anyway uhhhhh#thanks for the question i suppose#gave me a chance to talk about characters who aren't operators for once in my entire life

some stuff i have to get out for my oppy boy before i forget:
his name is nitzan
he has the grineer mask and loves it almost as much as he hates the grineer
he sympathizes heavily with the kavor, though
too heavily
an unhealthy amount
