Ok De, I Figured Out The Secret Of Orokin Void Levels

[Grilleds]

They are ancient Orokin shopping malls.

The couches and tables you find throughout them are where people used to sit and eat the food they bought at the stores there, and the weird white trees you see were just that, decorative plants that are found in shopping malls all over the place. Eventually, the stores started to close down and the places became abandoned, so some evil Grineer guy who probably wore a monocle and a top hat, decided it would be fun to brainwash some of his fellow Grineer (political enemies and their private militia), some Infected, and some Corpus into defending the place. Then turned on the after hours security system, which was originally meant to administer lasery justice to shoplifters. He then hid some goodies there in the hopes of attracting Tenno to their deaths, and also because he needed to get rid of them because he acquired them through illegal means and he needed to get rid of the evidence before the investigators show up.

They do look a bit like a shopping mall now that you mention it...

[Archistopheles]

See? I told you it was an Orange Julius that I saw...

[W4RM4CHIN3]

OMG...they totally do look like a shopping mall. *mind blown*

The endgame, Ninja fights in ancient yet advanced shopping malls. Kind of fitting actually.

Already mentioned this :c

 

It's also a little sad to know that this may happen to our society :P

Well, malls in general are dying out these days, although some get redeveloped:

The mall I shop at is pretty close to dead. No word on whether it has laser security systems though. Actually I don't think it even has security guards or anti-theft sensors.

Anyway, I'm tempted to play this during my next void run:

They do kinda look like shopping malls, though my first impression was actually that they looked like really high class hotels.

This must have been Rebecca her influence.

 

Woman and their shopping malls, sheesh.

Well that shopping mall quickly escalated into a death trap.

Normally I would scoff and laugh at your Idea and be on my way. But I really can't ignore this, it's unsettling.

So in the future Walmart became so big that it had it's own R&D department to create products that were only sold in their stores (Orokin Tech). Other companies grew jealous and they tried to steal those secrets and as a response Walmart developed their own unique security system (the Infested) which would absorb the spies and kept their memories to be used as evidence for the court cases. Using the this unique security system they then developed their own loss prevention squad (Tenno) who used Warframe suits to stop people from stealing products from their stores.

 

Target, the second largest discount store in the solar system with it's vast resources came up with the an idea on how to beat the Walmart security systems. That plan was clones. The clones would have no memories except for those to perform their job so if they were caught the only information that would be obtained would be useless instructions about their tasks. After several successful tests Target decided to perform a mass attack on all Walmart towers during a Black Friday....the most dangerous shopping day in the solar system. 

 

On that day..... Target won.

 

They capture all the secrets and they brought down the mightily Walmart. But it wasnt a complete victory because on that day Walmart activated it's new security layer which teleported their stores to pocket dimensions. Most stores were lost this way.  The Walmart security system (infested) couldn't be totally destroyed so they were left in those few Walmart stores that didnt disappear and were abandoned never to be visited again. The Walmart loss prevention squad (Tennos) were also hard to crack so they were put on ice to be later studied.

 

It was good for Target for a long time but soon a problem arose... their clones were only made to take down the biggest store in the solar system and they were now it. K-mart, which was now the second largest discount store in the solar system, secretly made it so the clones rebelled and they did and proceeded to destroy Target and  every other big chain store in the system. K-mart thought that the rebellion would be eventually stopped by Target which would left in a bad position but that didnt happen. Eventually only mom and pop shops existed in Grineer-held territory which why their technology looks all crappy.... cause those mom and pop shops cant really mass process space ships and so on. So now the Grineer have to look for Orokin tech because they created a system that cant really function. Now they have to look for the ancient Walmart stores.

To be fair, Vegas hotels are basically shopping malls with rooms attached.  It's as insidious as it is brilliant.

I meant it in a more general way than just malls.

 

The orokin were capable of creating warframes, the solar rails, building in hidden tears of space etc. and the relic we manage to explore is a mall. Imagine if some time in the future, people visited the ruins of our current society and the only reasonably intact remnants are eve's last fanfest or something.

And the internet's finest creations will be displayed upon the walls of museums all around the world, representing our proud history.
