  1. That'd be cool! I think we can give Umbra a prototype-socket, and in Lore we can say "Ballas tampered with his infestation at the beginning of his project which we now call Intron Infusion" or something. He'd have something basic like triple jump, yeah - a great addition!
  2. [SPOILERS: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK] [all images are at the bottom] Alright let's upgrade crafting a bit: As of prior updates we are able to craft companions, weapons and (ofc in the Foundry) pretty much any other thing. However, this type of schematic-based crafting is already mastered by the developers and only different iterations surface with each big update. I present to you an idea I suggest to call "Introns". These are stuff that we can "find & collect" (Duviri side-missions), "extract & inscribe" (with the help of Dominus Thrax) and then "distill" (with the help of Helminth) only to "infuse" in our Prime warframes. This is an additional Archon shard-like power system which makes use of Decrees found on Duviri. Let me break it down for you how I assume it'd work: Terminology: Intron: An "intron" is one unit of distilled Void energy (kind of like Nitain Extracts) created by Helminth. Hollow Slab: The item necessary to craft an Intron is called a "hollow slab". They fall directly from the sky on Duviri, in the form of a "small stone slab" which resembles the one Man in the Wall is currently imprisoned to (in Lore that is his skin. Cus' he itches? Or something, idk - keep reading). They crash onto Duviri surface kind of like a falling star, a guaranteed albeit random event. They crash on the surface away from you and you have to locate it using different methods. I imagined that the more time-consuming the search is, the more powerful the slab will be. This can be done in two ways: Either have a time-limit on the side of the screen which I do not recommend. Or have it come in different "categories" such as: - Rescue Pet Missions where you need to help a Duviri creature and instead of being lead to a chest, you're lead to a "Quality" Slab that the animal digs out for you. - Or perhaps Bumps on the terrain could indicate a "Tarnished" Slab which fell some time ago. - Or in Thrax Moods such as Fear and Anger the sky becomes so unstable that the slabs "target" you as they fall and deal a wee bit damage (you guessed it, "Shattered" Slab), so you'd have to take cover during "slab storms" just like how we took cover from the Orowyrm in the first Duviri quest. That'd be nice. These slabs are collected and are kept in inventory after successful missions. Once the player is back at The King's Palace again (teleported after opening Orowyrm chest) they then need to find one of Thrax's courtiers and give the obtained hollow slab to them so that they can take the slab to Thrax to have him inscribe it. Lore-wise, this has to happen in Duviri, as Undercroft resides directly in the MitW's domain and high concentrations of "surge energy" could bring unwanted attention from Him. The courtier takes the slab from you, vanishes, and you're ambushed by Incarnon-looking Limini (plural of Liminus? perhaps? idk - the shadow creatures we encounter in Duviri caves). In lore this could be explained as "Thrax's escaped anxieties found new powers in the Undercroft and hunt down surge energy like predators". You defeat them and courtier returns. The main lore I came up with about these: "Ever since you (the Tenno) made into here (Duviri), the shift between dimentional veils has lead to powerful void surges. Not only this, but you (the Tenno), travelling through the Void with your (their) Railjack, have caused these surges to interconnect. Like knots, tied to the skin of a beastly being, who's itching to get rid of them. I need more research. Let's make a deal: You provide me with some of these 'slabs' and I tell you what they are. Deal?" - Acrithis the Duviri Archivist at the beginning of the side-quest for these Slabs. TLDR; Basically, the void energy that falls on Duviri which we will turn into an Intron later, comes from actions of interdimentional activites. By lore, some "knots" happen when we go through the void or just causally interfere with void energy. Not only us, but also technology such as void portals that the Grineer use or Parvos' realm cause these surges to interconnect as well. And when these "knots" are undone, they scatter across the Void and some of them crash on Duviri, since Duviri resides within the Void.[Source] The slabs cannot cross into another dimention as they'll seize to exist, however with the help of Dominus Thrax we can "extract" their foul void surge energy and leave the good bits behind, put it into a container and take it with us to the Operator universe. Chiselled Slab: The courtier returns with a "Chiselled Slab" on their hand. Thrax has inscribed some words on it for you. Why? Well you defeated one of his courtiers and changed his mood - and since you have a seat at the Duviri court, he does it for you without making it into a problem. You're powerful bestie, own it. "Each knot has purpose, but not force Resist as they will, all come loose Etched on rocks, along the course Etched on me, abide my rules" - A "Judicial Decree" Thrax inscribes on Hollow Slabs to extract their power. This one is one of the most powerful ones (which requires the longest effort to find it). You take it and put it in a slab container. This container can be bought from Acrithis for few Duviri resources. This way, you can now exit Duviri and keep the slab with you. If you do not follow these steps your slab will dissolve into Endo as you exit Duviri, so a side-mission text must appear on one side of the screen. From this point on, the slab container will be in your inventory. Yet you need Helminth to infuse this into one of your Prime frames for you, however Helminth needs another segment to help you do this. Distillery Segment: You need this new Helminth segment to be able to force the BIG MOUTH to eat the contained slab and spit out "Intron" for you. The more powerful the slab is, the more Intron Helminth will spit out. Then you take the intron and infuse it in your Prime warframe as usual. The tricky part is, you have to find the Segment in Railjack missions. A spesific mission can be issued, however I believe exploring the current Railjack maps should yield this segment - perhaps in an unmarked section on one of our maps is a ruin that looks like it is a place we can enter. It turns out we can, and we enter it to find Corpus or Grineer already there looking for it? Idk, your guess is as good as mine. Once you do, craft it in the Foundry and place it to Helminth, and then use the BIG BIG MOUTH to get Intron. The inscriptions themselves: Thrax's inscriptions are some of his favorite Decrees. I imagined a new system for these inscriptions, as they would have different potencies based on slab and decree type. So two variables are present: Thrax's ability to inscribe quality decrees on it, and the quality of the slab itself. I think Thrax's insciption quality should change according to his current mood (after Orowyrm missions, because you know, he sometimes get eepy or dull) and according to how many times we "rewinded" (revived) during our Duviri session. If we rewinded a lot (potentially up to our last revive) during the mission, then the inscription should be of poor quality. If we never rewinded, then Thrax should tremble a bit cus he saw us overcome everything, and inscribe some fire bars on the thing. The type of Slab we get is important too, because his Decrees are "chiselled" on these slabs and the state of the slab matters, because it might just break or split during inscription/chiselling. So, I propose that Quality Slabs have 4 lines of cadent decrees on them, while Tarnished Slabs have 3, and Shattered Slabs have 2. And also, Slabs that are dug out by Duviri pets might hold Utilitary powers, the ones that fall might hold Offensive powers and the ones we dig out might hold Defensive powers. Kind of like Archon Shard colors and their powers. And lastly, more powerful decrees should belong to Steel Path. This way people will have a better reason to play Duviri Experience in SP. The decrees themselves can be random, though I don't imagine it to be "too random" just as how Lich or Sister parazon mod configurations give out. There is ONE poem these mods follow, and the order of the lines vary from Lich to Lich or Sister to Sister. They can't even read right damn💀 When Introns are distilled and are in their last form, they hold the power of the void and decrees combined. So the combination of word and stone make up the stats on the crafted Intron. I also imagined Introns resembling Nitain Extracts yet having different colors. Colors that represent the decree and slab type used in the making. What do Introns do?: You take the distilled Intron, infuse it, and your Prime warframe gains another passive. These passives are similar to Decrees found in Duviri. They have levels, so a more complex Intron might be required for some of them (such as: "obtain a Shattered Slab and die 3 times during Fear Cycle in Steel Path and get resurrected once" etc.). Their powers are also adjusted for Warframe-playstyle. That's it. You can now gain more Crit Damage when you roll, or gain parkour speed when you kill, or apply Cold Status to enemies around you in normal missions too. Something along those lines. The primary requirements I thought of: The player must have finished essential quests: - The player should pick a beginning path (Warframe or Paradox) and progress until they have both paths unlocked along with Helminth and Railjack. - The player must be at least MR 8? idk y'all handle these - The player must have a Prime Warframe in their Arsenal as Introns only apply to primes (in my imagination. Let primes have something special besides stat upgrades and nice Lore. If you want to tie these in with the lore, say that, for instance, the Archivist found Ballas' previous work and improved upon it or smthn). I'm sorry if this is confusing. And here is the end of my imagination. Introns could be used for better stuff. The devs and the community can decide what's next. I'll now add my splendid beautiful drawings: HOLLOW SLABS CHISELLED SLABS: SLAB CONTAINERS: INTRON CONTAINERS: edit1: grammar edit2: corrections
