What Is A "warframe", How A Tenno Gets Inside The Suit, And How They Capture Corpus Targets.

[Andaeros]

First of all, are the Tenno infected with the same technocyte virus that created the infested?

My theory is that they modified the strain of the Technocyte virus and inject the modified strain to themselves, but those who are infected by the "natural" strain of Technocyte become the infested. Or the Tenno has modified DNA. I don't know much actually,

Second, how do they wear their frame? I have a crazy thought that they have some kind of "infector" and "neutralizer" so when we built a frame BP, we are not building a robot, but simply a substance. When we drink / eat / suck / inject the substance, our body grows some mechanical organs and our body become the Warframe. When we want to change, drink the neutralizer and we become Tenno again, in their humanoid body with no warframe ability.

Look at Nekros, his arms and legs have some kind of holes and he is very thin - it is impossible for a human to get inside that frame if each frame is a mechanical suit like the Iron Man. Not to mention frost with the flat squall head.

Finally here is the thing that bugs me : how on earth do they absorb the capture target inside their body? What is that red light shining by the player who captured the capture target? What does that thing actually do? Is that magic? How the **** that a physical body of the capture target simply turn into particles, absorbed inside a Warframe, then INTERROGATED by the Lotus later.

Edit : if you say Warframe IS the Tenno themselves, (which I partly agree), explain how does Mag see.

Nobody has a definite answer on this yet because there is no information available to conclusively prove what the Tenno are and how the warframes function. Everything else is opinion and ideas. I imagine they're powered suits, but there's plenty of other ideas out there that are unconfirmed.

Well, going on the usage and how Warframe's have been used, it's safe to say they are a form of advanced remote-controls, similar to the SAO VR headsets, the user controls it via the Operator's void energy, this energy being converted into a sort of power for the suit as well, as it has been stated the void is an entity in itself, it's fair to say we're more likely just possessing the suits, though they require a significant amount of tech in order to handle the void energy which is also shown to wreak havoc upon corpus ships.

I think that was explained pretty well in the Second Dream / War Within quests. We find the hibernating Operator in Lua, and take them back to the Orbiter. During War Within, the Queens break the Somatic Link between the Operator and Warframe, and we end up physically transporting back to their Fortress to reclaim the Warframe through Transference.

 

The Warframes themselves are biomechanical suits meant to be controlled by the Tenno, our Operator has learned to use their powers beyond what the Orokin originally intended. Same for how Ballas experimented and finally merged the Dax with the corrupted Excalibur suit to create the Umbra version that has its own sentience.

This is some 9th level Necromancy if I've ever seen it. It's fun to look at old theorycrafting though, really takes me back.

My guesses are either that frames aren't suits... they're the actual person or that they are inanimate bodies controlled in a way or another remotely. The Tenno ARE the Warframes through mutations that leads them to change shape or they are operators that move those Warframes around. Sure, then you have the problem of how they can change helmets and such which would be akin to remove the head entirely and put another one in place if they actually physically were the Warframe.

 

And I think it's pretty much a given that each Warframe is a different 'character' and not just another suit. The only way I could see any of it making any sense is that by themselves, the Warframes are inanimate bodies inhabited by the Tenno (the player) when going into a mission. Either as a spirit, mind transfer or some kind of remote control. It's really unclear 'how' it works but when you consider any player can be any frame, regardless of gender and build (and especially a very impossibly thin one like Nekros), it's hard to believe one person could simply "swap" Warframe as desired.

 

Besides, when you look into the pods that you protect in Defense, you don't see an exotic warframe like Ember or Nekros; you see some pale-faced guy in a suit, with a normal, human physique.

 

And if we go with the theory that Warframes are inanimate bodies, then having blueprints to 'make' them makes a little more sense than say, building someone entirely from scrap, consciousness included. The "Systems" could merely be what enables the Tenno to interface with to control the Warframe into combat.

 

Who knows... perhaps we truly are seeing from the perspective of the game (over the shoulder in third person) and not from the eyes of the Warframe (which, you gotta wonder, if they have eyes at all). Would explain why a Tenno can walk in one direction and be completely aware of his surroundings, despite heavy training.

 

And really, it's possible what the Tenno train for is "Affinity" with said frame to move it around properly and with full understanding of the body. Kind of like us, as players, learn to cope with each Warframes' differences and to master their powers to their full extent.

 

Of course, all of this is speculation.

This 2 dudes were ahead of their time

You're doing this on purpose, aren't you.

Are you aware that this thread predates the second dream. And that the person who you're answering hasn't visted the forums in, uh... five years?

[BDMblue]

Was fun to read what the forum thought before the 2ed dream came out. Nice mistake man :)

[Sevek7]

You're all wrong. Warframes are living metal beings who murder thousand of Grineer while remote controlling a teenager on a spaceship who spends the vast majority of their time trying on a variety of outfits.

[Butterfly85]

A Warframe is a fashion statement. Hence Fashionframe being the true endgame. 😎
