[The Man in the Wall being a cosmic force of darkness may make the Unum a cosmic force of light.]

I always thought the Man in the Wall is a feed back loop created by Tenno launching their thoughts and experiences through the Void. That's why its voice is different depending on your operator. Rell used to contain it, so we all wouldn't go mad, and now it's on us to bear it together and keep our sanity.

We shoot our conscious out into the Void, the Void spits its impression of us back, and we no longer have Rell to stop that feedback from running out of control. It makes sense to me, because the Man in the Wall cheers us on when we take power for ourselves. Transference with Umbra Excaliber also gave us a crisis of identity, with the operator beginning to lose sight of the difference between their memories and Dax's. So we've also begun broadcasting memories that aren't even our own, and having those tied into our feedback loop with the Void.

So I can't see it as malevolent willingly. It's an ambiguous reflection of our desire to be self-determining and our experiences along the way, as construed by a power far greater than we can currently comprehend. It seems powerful, and scary, and controlling, because it's very hard for that much power to scale down. It'd be like you attempting to exert only one ant's worth of effort for an extended period of time. Ballas, and the Orokin texts, refer to us as monsters. That can't be simply because we channel void lasers and inhabit warframes. I think it's because the feedback loop we create with the void spawns madness and destruction through our inability to control it.

[[PC CLAN] Baleus Ordakus]

Hello, I'm a rank 9 casual player and I've been looking for a clan because the lone tenno biz is getting a little dull.

I'd like to join up if you're looking for new blood. In-game name is ExplodingJoe - just like here.
