Questionable Questing

And now I'm dead.

The hell am I supposed to do to deal with the Pendula? It sounds like a cross between Pendulum and Uvula. And the Security Eye is just giving me flashbacks to LoZ Beamos in the worst possible way.

Okay, I finished the mission. Apparently I had to stand trick the shooty lasers into firing at the Pendula, which put me in the line of fire a lot. Glad I was using Rhino.

Also, unless I'm missing something, most of the enemies in that last level were like the Infested that Necro might summon? That seems significant but I don't know why.

You have to lure it's attacks into hitting the pillars. Some of them won't damage it one will and you have to dodge you can make it destroy the pillar.

And finally, at the end there was some kind of weird dream sequence conversation between a man and a woman?

Don't remember their names exactly so I'll call them Ballast and Marigold. They were arguing about some kind of ex-human monsters and how they might be used like tools or saved like people (Orokin discussing the Tenno?).

Subrosian Smithy

Marigold wanted to save the 'devils' but that made Ballast mad because the devils hurt Marigold and he wanted to protect her.

She must be his waifu.

Subrosian Smithy

Oh shit this next mission is against the Sentient. I'm no good at beating their BS damage adaptation ability.

Looking interesting so far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhMmBlL81nw

I went down to the mission objective, we got more from Marigold and Ballast. Marigold tried to save the devils and put them to sleep (the titular second dream or the first dream?) for Reasons, then spoke out against the Orokin (so she probably wasn't an Orokin).

Subrosian Smithy

The Orokin got butthurt about that and charged her with Heresy against the Imperium of Man, leading to her execution.

And Ballast got sad bcuz his waifu died.

Subrosian Smithy

Then a bunch of other people were talking about soldiers they were using, and alluded to them as 'golems' possessed by 'devils' which is presumably a reference to the Tenno.

Subrosian Smithy

Then we found the spooky scary Resevoir, and it opened up (like a Lotus) and unfolded into a bunch of preservative cryo-pod thingies. And a person came out.

Subrosian Smithy

Who is apparently the real Tenno.

Okay, wow.

Subrosian Smithy

So, if I'm reading this correctly, the real Tenno are all holed up in the moon, literally dreaming. And something about that dream lets them project their consciousness into the Warframes from afar and use all kinds of pimping Warframe abilities.

Subrosian Smithy

Which means that as Tenno we're super stronk, but we've got a great gaping weakness in our orignal bodies. Like the Siberian and Doctor Manton. The Stalker is mad because he doesn't want to be in a Warframe?

Subrosian Smithy

But anyways, then the Stalker hesitated at the last second even though he could have killed us. Hunhow started chewing him out like Itachi chewed out Sasuke.

"You're weak. Because you lack hatred!"

Subrosian Smithy

And then Hunhow sent a bunch of Sentients after us, and I went fucking Super Saiyan on their asses.

And now I'm in my ship, looking stupid because my Warframe is holding me in his arms, and the contrast between me - who is apparently a woman, in game - and Rhino with his big fucking codpiece, couldn't be larger.

BRB, gonna finish this quest.

Subrosian Smithy

Holy fucking shit.

Okay, so either this ship is WAY bigger on the inside, or we just stopped at some kind of docking station.

Subrosian Smithy

But anyways, I went and fought stalker and fired a my laserbeam at a gadget until it charged up properly. Then my signal to Rhino got cut and we collapsed?

Then Stalker got fucking MAD and STABBED Rhino. What the hell.

It bled fucking everywhere, which is another reminder that Warframes are alive too.

The Liset is just the bridge area where you choose a destination, the ramp leads down to the much larger Orbiter compartment. that it docks with when you come back from a mission

Subrosian Smithy

So Rhino is bleeding out with Stalker's sword in his gut, on the ground like a gutted fish puppet with cut strings, and Stalker goes over and picks me up and says something emo. Hunhow tears into him about how he needs to kill me in order for his pain to end.
