6 BOLD predictions for The New War

[(PSN)Silverback73]

The natural evolution of Sentients is to conscript and adapt…we also now have trans-DIMENSIONAL ships on both sides and more and more hints at timehopping.

We know the technocyte virus suggests a bridge between organic and inorganic.  We see captured Grineer during Teshin’s gameplay and “Erra” walking up to key characters of power and importance and seemingly entering their minds with the line “Don’t be afraid”… 

DE likes to use existing assets to create new content…its just smart and necessary to meet deadlines and stay profitable.

With that bit of set-up, here we go:

1.  TESHIN will LIVE with honor.

The noble (modern) Samurai trope is to die with honor.  Teshin has become ever cooler and his new gameplay (dual wield with Chromatic Overload), Orvius web slinging (Valkyr would like a word with you DE), along with his mentorship and faction role make him invaluable.  And the voice-acting is just incredible.

2.  Kahl 175 will become the leader of the Sentient-Grineer under Erra.

Remember I started this thread stating that DE makes good use of existing assets. Ballas is already a Sentient-Satyr and Lotus became Natah.  Kahl’s missing “eye” is the perfect spot for a component for a Sentient-controlled Grineer enemy character model…and enemy boss.

3.  Veso will rise from lowly tech to hero and take down the traitorous Alad V and free Parvos Granum to lead a new Corpus Empire.

Amalgams are already a thing, so Veso’s Arc will lead him down the path to Corpus legitimacy.  Let’s face it, Alad is a traitorous clown and sycophant to any threat that shows and Nef Anyo isn’t much more than a rich, sleazy bail bondsman with a bit of corrupt Void preacher spirinkled on top.

Time for new management and DE knows that Veso is a great way to do it.

4.  The “Duality” prologue means that we, the TENNO, really ARE part Void Demon, cloaked in the form and consciousness of the Zariman children, unknowing heralds for the MITW. (in the “chaos” sense).

Where was our Tenno’s other half in that reveal when everyone else shown had both parts?

Probably aging on the Plains of “Red-Dead-Orwellian” Duviri.  What seemed like hyperbole or symbolism at first (Helminth certainly has disdain for us as a demon but can the infestation even lie?) might be actual truth.

What if using our powers, including controlling Warframes, is breaking down the barrier between reality and the Void?  What if we are causing void fissures and are actually versions of living void keys? Cue Vor laughing in the distance…

5. The MiTW has been in the heads of the Orokin Immortals since the beginning…which is why the Empire became corrupt and fell.

When you call Kuva both an “elixir of power” and “oil of madness” it suggests that the Warframe’s Void Devil will come to collect when you are arrogant enough to use his power.

It’s not a stretch to suggest that, much like Rel and now our Tenno, the Orokin elite’s immortality came with the unfortunate side effect of opening wide the door to their minds for TMiTW to take over and giving him a way into our universe.

Perhaps they used Yuvan body hopping and void research to try and outrace the MITW, slowly degrading physically and mentally with each passing century as they desperately attempted to find a “cure”.  

The Zariman Ten Zero’s true purpose may have been research on how to create Yuvan bodies to become or stay immortal and SANE, long before the Sentient threat.

6.  “Erra” is reborn as TMiTW and the War ends with him entering our Universe and WINNING against ALL factions as chaos is unleashed and Free Will DIES.

Yep.  The MiTW played the long game.  He’s Locke from “Lost”.

Void powers, Void keys, Void engines…Deimos…we should have known.  Sentients…Orokin constructs of ultimate hubris, became the perfect tool to set things in motion.

Lotus, as a final act of love, will keep TMiTW from fully subsuming our free will and identity and send us “Back” to the Paradoxical Plains of Duviri to make sure it never happens.

Bonus:  speaking of which…will DE be DARING enough to give us a choice to kill or save Lotus?
