Crewman Synthesis Is Done

[Gelkor]

^{At least now I have a reason to use this Crewman screenshot I took...}

 

Whoa, is that for real? What tileset/hazard is that?  Or is that editing?

At this point, three progress bar is pointless. It used to be something that compelled me to scan before it reached 100. Now it seems like I'll be better off forgetting it exist for a few months, then catch up at my own pace.

Synthesis scanning definitely seems more like an experience that will be better for newer players a year from now.

The pen and scratches are most definitely edited in, but the crewman stance itself is impressive to have happened.

Shame, woulda been cool if that was on some derelict Corpus ship where the life support ran out.  U 16.11, maybe lore is in, anyone online?

Hooray! Maybe my PM worked, or something.

Did this just describe a Sentient?

I have the impression we saw what would one day become a Sentient.

 

We will go to the Tau System people!

So the crewman was created so the Orokin could use them to travel to new territory. just to leave them there marooned?

 

Wha?????

I don't think that thing was a Crewman, mate, rather it was the creation OF Crewmen - Orokin-era Corpus.

 

That thing was most certainly a Sentient.

manage to fuse all the images into one. scroll back up to read.

Goshdarnit, the more I learn about the Corpus, the worse I feel about killing them.

Agreed. I mean, it's gotta be! They might be quite awesome yet!

[(PSN)WiiConquered]

So it's essentially confirmed now that the Orokin (by way of a specific Corpus) built them. And we know more about how they fight--when one is destroyed, the pieces rebuild into new ones, which become resistant to whatever it was previously killed by.

Not just that but it splits off like a starfish and can regrow from bits and pieces.

 

So we need to utterly exterminate a cluster or else we can expect to be hit by more due to it growing back... OR using our warframe powers in leu of weapons due to void energy being an anathema.

 

I do wonder what the heck was going on where they would need such terraforming and so on, however. Same with the seven principals as well. What would those be? Are they tied to the 'Evolution' sigils we see so often in void towers?

Could it be the Infestation? Breaking out for the first time before being subdued? Perhaps this is the time in which the first Great Plague happened in this universe, as opposed to when it went down in Dark Sector.

Transcript:

They opened the chamber door just in time for me to see it happen; the Archimedian erupting into a flash, jade-like and blinding. I knew her.  She was the greatest scholar of genetics who ever lived.  Except now she was nothing but mist and gore.

 

A voice boomed from within, “The Crewmen project is cancelled. Send in the next.”

 

The rifles at my back tried to urge me inside.  Old faces filled the dome’s projections, immense and god-like.  I walked into the center of the room, bored, as I knelt upon the darkened judgment disc.

 

The projection of Executor Ballas swelled large in front of me.  I could see his purity, his symmetry, the beauty of his glittering gold irises. His voice thundered, “The principles are clear.  Your sentence is death.  May the Void forgive you.”

 

As the judgment disc  began to light I stood, took a deep breath and spoke, “She will not forgive you.”

 

Laughter broke out among the faces of the dome.  Other’s asked “what did he say?”  Ballas only smiled, “You challenge us, Archimedian?”

 

“I do.  Kill me and the Empire you are sworn to uphold dies with me.”

 

Ballas turned his head as the judgment disc went suddenly dark, “An appeal comes at a price.  Should you fail, you and your corpus will pay dearly.”

 

“They already suffer in this growing wasteland.  They have already paid.  Will you also sacrifice the royal futures by ignoring my solution?”

 

“Your solution is an abomination, like you, it will be annihilated.” Ballas motioned to a guard in the corner, “Present the evidence.”

 

The chamber doors opened and a mass of guards entered, guns trained inward.  As they reached the center, they parted, revealing a small cart.  Atop the cart was a motionless creature, no larger than a hand.  Its body was symmetrical, star-shaped with a seamless, matte-black shell.

 

A new projection, that of Executor Tuvul ballooned into the space, “It looks harmless.”

 

“Harmless?” Ballas boomed in Tuvul’s direction.  He turned to the center of the dome, “Show them.”

 

On command, the guards backed away from the card and readied their weapons. Their leader took careful aim and fired a whisper round into the body of my creation.  Two of the limbs tore off the frame revealing a glossy, gelatinous interior.

 

Silence gripped the dome as Tuvul shook his head.  Then suddenly, the creature moved, convulsed, the hard surface started undulating.  In a moment the wound closed and the thing was whole again. Beside it another machine had grown from its severed parts.  Their surfaces had changed however – brighter, harder, resilient to whisper rounds now.

 

Ballas looked triumphant as voting lights began to appear on the judgment disc.

 

My green death was coming, so I roared at them, “Did our ancestors, burned by fire, reject it’s power? No.  They conquered their fear and learned to control it.  The Seven Principles are a joke.”

 

His projection swooped down to me, “The Orokin is the law and the law is the Orokin.  We are unbending.  Your appeal is denied.”

 

Tuvul interrupted, “Our laws are sacred but do not forget The Plan, Ballas.” His visage turned down to me, “Countless other ventures have failed The Plan, how will this machine fulfill its design?”

 

I tried to catch my breath and speak, “The crossing to the Tau system is perilous. Adaptation and replication are the only way a terraforming journey can be made.  They will build an insterstallar rail as they travel, they will adapt to the host planet and prepare it for our arrival.  They will save you.”

 

Tuvul peered down at me, “And when it completes its task, what will prevent it from turning against us, as the Seven Principles say?”

 

“The flaw.”

 

Tuvul’s eyes narrowed, “The flaw?”

 

“The Void is poison to them.  Once they have reached Tau they will be marooned there.  To travel the rail here would destroy them.  Whatever the risks, the Origin system will be-“

 

Ballas shouted, “Enough! Dereliction of the law threatens the entire empire.  Which one of you will risk this?” Ballas was growing increasingly frustrated.

 

“The empire is already at risk,” cried the shrill voice of another Executor, “Or perhaps you haven’t noticed that from your cozy position on Mars.” To this there was a round of applause and the judgement disc remained unchanged.

 

“Ballas, you lack consensus.” Shouted Executor Tuvul.

 

His projection seemed to shrink smaller until he finally broke his silence, “Archimedian Perintol, against my better judgement,” his disgust was palpable, “You appeal has been accepted. You are free to go.”

 

One by one the projections of each Executor in the Tribunal flickered off and the guards ushered me into the hall. There I stood, rapt with shock when I heard his footsteps behind me.

 

“You did better than I thought you would,”  It was Ballas, the man, not the projection. “It would seem nobody truly knows they want a thing until you threaten to take it away.”  He broke into a smile,” Wouldn’t you agree, Archimedian?”

Wha?????

Corpus were scientists. They created the sentients (the thing on the cart). It was originally intended to adapt to conditions so it could serve for the expansion of the Orokin Empire. The sentients would build the solar rail and terraform world -- surviving and adapting to whatever harmed them (whatever doesn't kill them makes them stronger).

Pretty much. "The void is poison to them." Looks like we're going to be needing those pure damage powers in the future then.
