This was a question that bounced around in closed beta (ah the good old days), but DE gave the lore reason here:
When a target is captured, they are essentially broken down molecule by molecule for storage, which is excruciating to experience (hence the scream). So we don't want to put our operative through that. Boring answer sure, but it makes sense.

Oh crap i forgot to comment the other day.
Good chapter Ros, glad to see the Tenno back in some (very well written) action.
Sebastian is turning into one of my favourite characters, hope we get to know him better
Woohoo! Seb will be getting a bigger role in the next season (which also means that he will survive this season-spoilers).

Why do I feel like Miyoko's death flags are going off all over the place?
This. This was a good chapter.
Glad the month of work into this thing paid off!

I'm late to the party, And havnt read the latest chapter yet, but on Hayden and myoko.
The way the story had beens going, it feels like myoko and Haden aren't going to make it as a couple. And that could be good for the story...or not. I just want to know what is wrong between them. Its something.
All I know is it's been going on since Hayden first put on his warframe, and got worse after he kissed her.
After that, they barely ever talk or spend any time together
Did she lose some respect for him? Or her perfect vision of him changed? It seems like myoko actually sort of resents Hayden sometimes, the way they barely interact, making the story between Ash and Banshee seem super sweet (im sorry I can't remember their names :( ...)
Maybe I'm wrong.

It always felt to me like "Hey yo I got the suit, I'm stuck in the suit, Hey random girl I love you , I love you too, I'm out the suit so now we're together right...yeah well I'm a go do stuff and you do you. Unlike Darren and Jolla where they actually interacted and spent time together.
Hmm, it may be as you say...but fear not, I'll resolve things properly with them in the end :).
To those who are still sticking around here, this project is still alive. Sorry for all the delays, I spent a lot of these past few weeks making sure these last few chapters were planned out as best they could be.
Chapter 38: Infestation, is now up on Post #32 or on the google doc link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/18stddgtYhxRmP7AiwkDeWPDsBVuwwmYlXqs-BPg_B64/edit?usp=sharing. The Tenno plan a counterattack against a new enemy.
As you have all seen, feedback is not only greatly appreciated, but desperately needed! If you have anything that doesn't sit well with you, *@##$ about it and I will at least hear you out.
I won't make promises as to when the next chapter will come out. It will be done when it's ready. Hopefully, by then, it will be better. Thanks for sticking with me this long, I'll do my best to drag you back into the story with these next few chapters.
Oh, and I went back and retconned wherever anyone said Infested in the previous chapter...because that was stupid of me.

Thanks for the feedback. There is a lot to wrap up, and I'm not sure if it will all be stitched together neatly, but I welcome the challenge.

Regarding the new Pursuit mission, I like it, it's a really fun concept for me, however the hitbox on the two engines of the courier is incredibly frustrating. There have been several instances where I have been firing point blank at the engines (yes, the glowing orange ones in the back) to absolutely no effect, keep on getting the blue zeroes. The last mission I ran, the courier actually got stuck in the rock and was NOT MOVING, and I was right next to it shooting, could clearly see my reticule on the engines (tried both of them) and still got nothing. I know the dual decurion isn't the most accurate weapon but I was right next to it, for crying out loud. I took pictures but since I'm an idiot I turned off the HUD for them so I don't think it will do that much good, but here they are:

Anyone else having this issue?

I know this is going sound weird, but sometimes I feel that you give the reader too much information. This is especially apparent since we know what the characters probably wouldn't know. Changing it to where you don't give a name to everything right away could allow a new a reader and character learn at the same pace. Also I feel that this world isn't a living and breathing world. For example calling them infested lets say a few chapters from now would make more sense if there was an out break letting it spread to the populace instead of the random Soldiers who don't understand the science/Symptoms of the virus. Like Clickers, they are called Clickers because they click. The Infestation should be let loose to well become one like a fungus or insect. Something I've always liked about DE's codex was how they presented it, mysterious but enough there that if you look close enough you'll figure it out. The way you introduced Miyoko is a good example since you didn't just say "HEY I'M A MAGENT" and instead let readers speculate. This is just a suggestion and keep up the good work. (Me btw Horrible grammar I know)
Is that just from the infested part, or are there other things?
Regarding the infested part, that just really pisses me off because the whole time I was trying really hard to make sure I DIDN'T say infested but it must have slipped in somewhere. I'm going to retcon that.On another note, the chapter has been pushed back a week to make sure it's quality. I would've thought being out of school would make more time to write, but it's the exact opposite.

So it did get buffed...thoughts?

Really helpful stuff
Man, why the hell didn't you tell me this earlier?
I had my suspicions. I've realized too late that I have way too many characters and relationships to be tied up in the span of 13 or 14 chapters. So it was Victoria and her two suitors who got the short end, and I imagine they won't be the only ones. Man, it was a good thing I went back and tried to do something, because otherwise, this all would've been a lot worse.
But I'm going to let the Victoria arc play out in pretty much the same way I have intended it to be. I think I still have a few tricks up my sleeve for it, and although I know it's not going to take away from that rushed feeling, I want to have your feedback when it's at least where I leave it off at the end of this season. I don't know if it will solve all of your questions, but just bear with me until the end, and then tell me if it didn't work. Which is entirely possible, because I'm trying some very new things for me here.
I'd like to know what about Miyoko and Hayden feels hollow, if it feels repetitive, there's no real progression going on, etc., because that is also a super important part of this season. Kat also, how do you see her coming along?
Man, this season is a mess. I extended it by a chapter, but clearly that's not enough, it may go more. However, I don't think I'm going to be making any major changes to the story at this point. The characters have no depth at this point, you're right, but I have a plan to give them at least some form of it in these next few chapters.
I know something is wrong, but I don't think we'll be able to see the full picture of what I did wrong until this season is over. When the dust has settled, I will be eager to hear your thoughts again. Thanks as always guys, your feedback is much appreciated.
Also, where can I acquire said light novels? I've seen a bit of the anime and it is handled really well.
-
I know exactly how this season will end, save for maybe a few stray side plots. I have a pretty good idea of how the entire story (up to the last season) will generally end.

For my taste? yeah, it was, pretty much everyone is ending with a romantic interest, it was fun with Jolla and Darren because fire and ice, and Koda's was bittersweet.
But then we get Hayden and miyoko, Gregor and Kat, Roland and Victoria and Morgan, sexual tension between Koda and Melody, what's next, Sebastian and Coven?
I hope i'm not being harsh but it think it was sidetracking the story from what it was at the beginning, the origin of how the Tenno came to be the warrior gods we know.
Chapter 37 got you back on track as it tickled me in all the right places with the pacing, actions (you actually managed to make Morgan a pretty f*cking grim guy, props for that) and even some spooks with the Scratchy part.
I see. Yeah, I was experimenting with relationships this time around. But without giving too much away, I'll just say this: don't worry, this season isn't over by a long shot, and the real endings have yet to come. The biggest thing I want to avoid is having everyone's story end the same. And I promise you that they won't.

Ooooh boy.....oh boy ooh boy....Sh*t's hit the fan.
I have to be completely honest with you Rosing, the story was starting to look like a romance novel these last chapters, too much drama and little action which i do believe is your strong point.
But this chapter...oh man the tension, We've all been waiting for Roland vs Morgan and it was splendid, i do hope for a round 3 just for good measure, it's interesting to see two Tenno hate each other.
I'm curious about Fervis's payload since it doesnt seem to be Technocyte.
LEPHANTIS HAS AWOKEN, THERE IS NOWHERE TO HIDE.
Ah, is that what's been scaring everyone away? Don't worry, there's a lot of action coming in.
So the drama was weak sauce, huh? Was it too over the top?

Help, guys. I'm flying in blind, posting chapters late, and killing off characters that I've barely introduced. If you have any feedback, I'd be glad to hear it!
Chapter 37 is now out on Post #32 or on the google doc link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gZo3xGpUbhCO9cbvFD6GrHS-MfeNRr88sxcr9OVfUhA/edit?usp=sharing -
Chapter 36: Breaking, is now available for your viewing pleasure. Deep talks. Deep talks everywhere. Tensions rise, cover is blown, and the end of this season begins. Check it out on Post #25 or in the google docs folder: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SS-cbBzmQno9lmLGW1OC6BJz5kIhNI6VHF-k8OfsGks/edit?usp=sharing
MAAAAAAAN This was probably the most difficult chapter I've ever written. If I thought I needed help writing battles, I needed even more help with this one.
So if you got any feedback for this one especially, I'd love to hear it!
-
Next chapter has been delayed to next week. It's turning out to be a little tricky, so I'm giving it the time it deserves.

I've always wanted a corpus city at night, which I could totally see something like this as. Leaping from roof to roof, osprey chases through the streets, even a hiijack mission would be pretty awesome here.

Just checking if there was maybe any word from DE on this I missed.
I can certainly understand that the two are supposed to be separate,
however, with rewards from PVP being usable in PVE
(and not tradable in the case of e.g. DAT STRUN SKIN I WANT IT GIMME ARGH),
that line has been crossed so you might as well make anything fair game :PTo prevent "abuse" or whatever, maybe have there be an option to convert
Syndicate Standing into Conclave Standing at an extremely low rate, like 20 : 1 or something.
Or, have Alerts that reward Conclave Medallions, or ... dunno.Believe me, I'd love to be able to play / enjoy PVP and not least that whole Lunaro jawesomeness to "properly" gain Standing
but that's simply not happening with this crappy lappy of mine, even without a lagtastic host :(Lore wise I wonder what Teshin would think if you tried to rank up your standing with a faction whose sole purpose is to incentivize you to face off against other Tenno. I think that's what it is, unfortunately.

As always excellent work
I would like to see Nadia interact more with the other Tenno, she's the leader of the second generation and yet lately all her scenes to Hayden (specifically crying about the fact that he loves Miyoko) So yeah, you've done a fantastic work in developing certain characters like Koda and Jolla's relationship with Darren, if you applied the same level of depth to the rest we would have a perfectly well defined cast of characters
Ok, Hayden's taking too much of her time. I'll free that up then. Thanks!

Go to your dojo or relay or clear out an exterminate tileset, turn off your hud.
bam, hide and go seek mode.

Chapter 35 is now out on Post #25 or in the google docs folder: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QTRBsSUTQ3mhDhpCbF97Qxmf08hQIOt6PAUeQBPxMJ0/edit?usp=sharing.
Changes:
NEW SCENE between Ford and Hayden, slight adjustments to the scene after with Nadia
NEW SCENE between Hayden and Miyoko.
At this point in the season I'd like to ask for feedback on how character progressions and relationships are going, in case I end up doing something drastic and end up screwing it all up. If you think something isn't being executed right or doesn't feel like it was justified enough, please let me know.
-
We used to, now we don't. Personally, I think that was a good move.

Just don't get high expectations for PvP when the majority of the playerbase don't really care about it.
Well, there is still a dedicated team for pvp, so feedback like this can lead somewhere, at least for the melee suggestions. I'd certainly give pvp another go if the melee was better.
Dedicated servers tho, is unlikely, becayse of the relatively little interest it has. Maybe an occasional match in the relay might solve this for high quality play but for the regular conclave, probably not worth their money.

Equinox being twins with opposite personalities merged into one and Limbo having trouble keeping himself in this dimension, causing him to spontaneously dissapear

Something like that.
Chapter 34 is out now on Post #25, or on the link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EbWWBJW6Bx-XEdx-9oSTwSN7jPViY5NY_-dGTy5s13U/edit?usp=sharing. It's always surprising when characters start kissing other and not even the writer saw it coming, at least for the writer.
Changes to this chapter:
NEW SCENE, where Kat and Gregor have a heart to heart chat
Minor changes to the scenes with Rose and Darren, then with Koda, Nadia and Melody.
We are almost done with the revision chapters! I'm not sure if I said this before, but I've extended this season by one extra chapter to make sure everything fits! As such, next chapter will still have a few scenes some of you older readers have seen before, but there will be new stuff there too of course. And then right after that, things start to move really, really fast.
