Lore Discussion - Amps and Prime Technology

Here's a basic question - is it possible/lore friendly to have prime amps for our operators? Is that even something you would like to see in-game?

Theoretically speaking, for there to even be an Orokin-tech amp, our operators would have to have had access to amps prior to the big moon nap. Would they have? Or were they always "safe" in transference while using their warframes during the last war?

I suppose another question is how do the Quills have access to amps? Are they weapons that the quills invented/manufactured themselves? Are they reverse-engineered bits of Orokin tech?

If DE ever did introduce "Amp Prime," would you rather it be a singular design (IE, Prime Mote Amp) or multiple parts? (Prime Prism, Prime Scaffold, Prime Brace)

We know that there was a phase between the Tenno being retrieved from the Void and them being put in the Second Dream. The Orokin tried to cure/contain/use them while they were awake - in particular, Margulis and some other scientists of the Orokin Empire took care of them at great personal risk.

They ended up with transference as a solution after much trial and error. However it is perfectly possible that before they created Transference they experimented with Amps.

In that sense, Prime Amps could be an ancient Orokin technology which the Orokin discarded as the Tenno were unable to channel their powers. They put the Prime Amps in storage and put the Tenno in extended sleep. Fortunately, after prolongued use of Transference, and awakening from the Second Dream, the Tenno can control their powers and use Amps.

 

This also could explain how the Quill got the Amps: they could just have happened on some deposits of original Orokin Amps, which they reverse-engineered - possibly under the direction of the Unnum.
