WARFRAME: Lua's Prey Explained 

He is a Cephalon, they usually have a role and are very attached to it, Drusus is like a librarian. He may had been an orokin tho, like Suda was.

I think that's a very likely interpretation! I've never donated that much at once. I will need to try to grab the soundbite ✌

@@muranmana2355 i need the sauce on that

would be sick

I'm kind of annoyed that her 4 doesn't run on all four despite the idle animation doing so. It's not too often you would see her 4's idle animation because most people are going to be sprinting/bullet jumping like mad tenno. It's so jarring, going from all fours to standing up and running like a standard warframe

That's awesome! Haha. The next one won't be too long from now either

Took the words right out of my mouth! I've been watching these eagerly, most of them several times. SocraTetris, you are a gem to the warframe community and it's rich lore that is often underappreciated. But more than that, you're a great source for myths, legends and philosophy, that I have had way too little knowledge and appreciation of. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see you take on the Duviri Paradox!

@Nick, Thank you for saying that! I'm glad to have you around too

Glad to hear it, JM. That is my ultimate goal, to get people to explore philosophies thar interest them. I'm glad you've taken that to heart

@@SocraTetris You made me even more intrested, looks like it works. Keep up the good work man

I always imagine what these stories would be like if Warframe wasn't a Games as Service and more of an anthology series. Pity anthology games tend not to do too well. Kinda wish there the warframe fan community made more fan games. We could see things like that

@SocraTetris at this point I feel like we need a TV series that goes over all these stories like voruna,khora, the death of the orokin during the beat of the Naga drums, the rising of the corpus. There's so much potential in warframe from stories that have already been shown trough scanables, but I guess DE doesn't have any interest in those smaller stories when they can make things like duviri

@@blackg8r20 i think a tv series or animated series would lose a certain quality. Serialized or long form stories require a certain amount of making this explicit, but Warframe revolves around mysteries and things left unsaid. The Warframes don't speak, and just having the tenno speak over the radio all the time makes the warframes less alouf

​​@@SocraTetris you just explained why I'm afraid of tv series, animation or movie of warframe. Maybe telling the story by an foreign eye from where lore is centered would work.

@@muranmana2355 I thinn so too. Have the POV of some other character that's not a warframe. Like one of the kids from Yarelli or Nezha's stories. Trying to resist, almost failing or paving the way for help to arrive, then here comes the warframe at the climax.

yo, with how much Bible has been featuring in Warframe with recent updates, you arent even wrong though.

Thank you for the vote of confidence, Paraoura! I will make you proud

you're welcome! i hope you enjoy the othe videos too :)

Well it's all gone now, XD. Finally farmed and leveled some of the vault mods that I was missing for a few builds

She still ended up dead. So i think the citscene still works. Though maybe the play on words doesn't work as well

Thank you, Eric! I appreciate your support!

@@SocraTetris You're welcome!

Glad you liked it!

That seems to be as good a reason as any. The Leverian does speculate that Thrax appear as reflections of the viewer. Makes you wonder how the Holdfast or Dominus see the Thrax.

100

Haven't made the Duviri video yet, I'm afraid. I'm finishing this project of releasing 100 video game essays first. Then I'll do another Warframe. if yoi followed the playlist, then you're all caught up

Okay, now I KNOW you don't pay full attention. because I said "without throwing it in our faces." As in you have to actually go looking for it. Why are you here, Thomas? You don't seem to like anything

That is a spoiler which can be learned either by watching my other videos, or playing through The Second Dream.

@@SocraTetris You're no fun. :P But for reals though, I just went through a recap of the main story events. Turns out the last story event I personally played before my long break from the game was "The Sacrifice" when Lotus leaves us. Rewatching the quest for Excaliber Umbra was nice. That is actually a person in it. And when I read descriptions for various Warframes, they all have a dark backstory unique to them. Like Valkyr being captured and tortured. But that Valkyr is not the same Valkyr as the one we get to play as right? I'm not trying to be dumb, but from my perspective, each warframe's initial existence was a suit/hybrid with a real person. And then the ones we use in the game itself are technology recreations of the frame itself, minus the original tragic person once within it. Is that close or am I missing it still?

So it is purposefully vague as to where the line is. Umbra is unique in how self conscious he still is, but The Sacrifice describes the relationship between the tenno and the warframes true for all of them. Recovering warframes is essentially recovering the dead and rebuilding the bodies to new life. A warframe doesn't need a tenno to exist, but they both need the other to live well. Valkyr is unique as well, in that they are a result of Alad V experimenting with warframe bodies and making a consciousness in a rudimentary way. How much of valkyr is original or composite? Same question could be asked of Xaku. it is an interesting part of lore to keep in mind. So to answer your previous comment's question, Voruna was a warframe. Before a warframe, Voruna was a person, likely a dax, that transformed into a warframe by an archimedian using void-technology (Lora Drives) and Technocytes (the bacteria/virus thing that became The Infestation). Between Stalker and Umbra, just having knowledge of the lives of each warframe, we can generally assume that there is some degree of consciousness in there. But given... idk how to call it, 'quietude' by the tenno. Like the quieting of the monkeys of the mind in Buddhism. (I explain it better in my Sekiro video).

Nope. Johnny Frasca. Info in the description 👍🏾

@@SocraTetris reminded me of a melody in a slayer song, anyhow, love your vids man.

any particular Alice in Wonderland adaptation?

@@SocraTetris it's something general i would say. One would be the haircut, the red color themed, the helmet and she mentioned how her sister "lost her head" And of course, let's not forget her tantrums when she don't get what she wants

So the relationship between the Warframes and the Tenno is a secret that only a select few people knew about. Not even the tenno knew themselves until The Second Dream. Voruna had 4 guard-wolves that she worked with, but during the continuity, she used the red kuva and merged with them (as it was a hasty/botched contuity, it didn't completely overwrite her.) So she was a warframe before the incident, and a warframe after, but now with 4 wolf souls inhabiting her warframe body along with her. As for which tenno was in control at the time, this is unknown. But the transference chamber is there. Executor Tuvul intended to continuity into the tenno body to take control of Voruna rather than die. But he died instead.

@@SocraTetris Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. The relationship between Tenno and Warframe is still a mystery since (DE) didn't expand on it much, and they still hesitate to answer certain questions. However, from what I understand, back then, Voruna did have her own thoughts, but she was mostly guided by the Tenno since you told me that the ritual didn't completely overwrite Voruna but also as you said the Tenno didn't know themselves so yes maybe the tenno is the one who expressed emotions since the tenno thought that he or she was Voruna. Well, let's hope that these speculations will be answered in Warframe 1999 or the future Stalker update. Thank you, and soon, I might start watching your other Warframe videos and compare them with other lore RU-vidrs.

Please do! As for Voruna's own thoughts, you're right that it's a bit vague there as well. There is evidence from Excalibur Umbra, Rhino Prime, Dagath and Kullervo in an upcoming video that they still have their own thoughts/awareness. But it's unclear if that is true of qarframe in general or just certain warframes that retained memories

​@@SocraTetris I'm excited to see your upcoming video. Kullervo's lore is one of my favorites, alongside Voruna's. It would be awesome if every warframe of the Leverian Museum acted independently to make them look badass and cool. There is one more thing I want to add, I know I can be a bit annoying, sorry about that. But from what I understand from Kullervo's lore, not all first-generation warframes were failures. Some worked as intended, while others were defective. The Orokin decided to destroy the defective ones and keep the normal ones. Kullervo didn't help his fellow defective warframes, which is why he got the cowardice charge. It's unclear if all warframes turned against the Orokin during the war, or if some chose sides. If there was a side choosing which I think happened or some warframes didn't care and went on with their duties, it means not all first-generation warframes were lost or lobotomized. Since the continuity ritual was present since the Orokin era, and it was done since the first generation of warframes, it's more likely that Voruna was like Kullervo. She was the only warframe protecting the Orokins during the ceremony and wasn't piloted. As stated in the story, what they protected and swore to protect was wrong. So, maybe Voruna didn't like what she was doing deep down and waited for the right time to strike. From Kullervo's lore, we learn that the new generation of warframes came with the Tenno, and they were both strong, with potential in them. Kullervo, along with other factors( actors), raised the rebellion against the Orokin. That's why he got the espionage charges, as he whispered to both Tenno and warframes. The warframes were the first generations and the new ones that were maybe independent of the Tenno or just needed a Tenno to calm them or guide them. So maybe that's why Voruna went after the whole Yuvan clan afterward. Well sorry if the comment is that long it's my last and I won't bother with anymore ty for your answers and hope you consider my last comment on this video ty.

I think that is an interesting idea, but the lore is just vague enough that we can't really say one way or the other. The tenno rebellion is still a pretty big mystery, and first gen warframes are the same way. I do talk about these a bit in the upcoming Kullervo video, but likely not going to give you a hard answer. Being able to make headcannons with warframe's story is part of the fun!

Is that your favorite ship?

maybe, but they arent standing on two legs
