Grineer Schism (Spoilers!)

[LegendaryNeurotoxin]

Some time during or after the Empyrean update, I'd love to see the Grineer faction get pulled a few different ways:

1) Vay Hek completes the invention of a device that lets him issue commands with the same systemic authority as the Queens--effectively wresting some control from the Worm Queen to some extent. He then begins a forceful takeover of the Kuva Fortress.

2) Being declared a high crime, Worm and Kela begin to lead the counter-offensive against Vay Hek, using Kuva-juiced criminals led by and Kuva soldiers as the main fighting force.

3) After the Ropalolyst incident, Alad V goes his own separate way, and manages to rebuild Tyl Regor as an Infested Amalgam, who begins building a new line of "perfected" Grineer as well as offering "upgrades" to existing ones. 

4) Not wanting to be left out, a Lotus-driven initiative sends Amalgam Proselytizers to Grineer settlements, converting all they can to her will while enhancing their power in dangerous ways.

5) In the chaos, many eager interlopers took on an unregulated dose of Kuva, making them liches, but the self-administration of the dose allowed them to break free of the Queens will and form a new loyalty to Kuva itself. They are now independent liches, and constantly hunt for Kuva when they aren't actively pursuing a specific Tenno. 

6) All the while Cressa Tal is sweeping through where weakened, trapped, and isolated Grineer are located, and begins recruiting and converting them to a larger scale. She got part of the research from Vay Hek's new device, and was aided by Quills to complete the allegiance removal serum. 

Players will get missions from whomever they're aligned with to push that agenda forward, while receiving rewards and changing the nature of the contested areas. Players may support Vay Hek in his attempt to become supreme ruler while keeping the bloodline pure without Kuva, or support the Kuva team in their attempts to wipe Vay Hek from the system and regain control of the Grineer to end all the in-fighting that Vay Hek caused. Cressa will be displeased if you go with either of them, and would prefer you support her in an attempt to lead a Grineer rebellion to remove their existing leadership and return the Grineer to a stellar nation of builders. Every now and then, smaller engagements between Alad V, Lotus, and/or Independent Liches may come up, which offer different rewards and risks for supporting or opposing them.

I am still super disjointed that The Wolf didn't turn out to be Tyl Regor. 

That would have been a total OMG moment and a great way to have dusted off possibly one of the best Warframe characters full stop. Even the initial description of the wolf being some nobody could have been worked out because being stripped of his augments/title/person and essentially blackholed by the queens on some rock wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility for a failure of that magnitude. 

It would have explained where Regor has been all this time (Saturn 6) it would have explained the Wolfs devotion to his pack (akin to his devotion to his tubemen) and how the wolf was able to crack the Corpus net as easily.

It even would have (tragically) explained why the wolf was a model prisoner.... because Tyl had just been strait up broken when he lost everything.

Interesting idea,might be also be possible to have lore driven pvp with this idea...as we can choose who to side with,either for the rewards or ideological reasons.
