The Corpus control the market, but with the advent of the Tenno Awakening, I, as director of R&D on the newly cleansed Jupiter, have decided it's time to learn as much as we can about the Tenno. Here, I will log all of the dissections we perform on any and all acquired Tenno and Warframes. Stand by for the first logs.
*AN
This is an idea I had that I wanted to do. I will basically be detailing the effects of the Warframes and their constant use on the bodies of the Tenno. This is a complete story, and I'm planning on releasing the second installment soon.
It would please me greatly to see this on a Prime Time, or on a Livestream, or even have a Dev comment on or follow this topic. Now, GO AND BUMP THIS THREAD, MAKE IT THE POPULAREST, AND MAKE ME FAMOUS. jk, do what you will, thanks for your time.
This entire thing occurs before the Hunt for Alad V. I will not include any warframe discovered after this, meaning I'll do everything before Valkyr. I'm planning a sequel for fan'frames and new frames, so when I finish all 16 frames, I'll do fan ones after a little storytelling.
When I say 16, I mean the 14 before Alad.
(This may be a little gruesome, as in dissection, but I'm not sure if this should be rated M-ish. I will state this: Read at your own risk.)
Dissection Log #1
Note: I will limit my labs to the description of the obtained life-forms, rather than the entirety of the salvage itself. All of the "Warframes" tend to be composed of a basic chassis, a set of weapon and shielding systems interposed within the chassis, and a helmet with a neural interface and HUD. But I digress, on to the procedure.
For all of the following logs, I will be following a basic procedure. We will first remove and store the armor and weapons of the specimen, and observe it's appearance as compared to the average Betrayer, noting any interesting or abnormal features. Then we will take blood samples and analyze these for discrepancies. We will then begin the opening of the body and removal and external examination of internal organs, which will be preserved for research, or as much as I hate to say it, souvenirs for the more deviant of our kind. Then we will examine for anything out of the ordinary, and move on to the head, which we will open and examine for understanding. The eyes and brains of the Betrayers are very interesting, and I'm surprised that not a single Corpus has properly analyzed the body of a Betrayer. We are too focused on the metal; we forget the flesh.
Now, as I know the eyeless slug of the Lotus will see this, I am setting out a disclaimer. These articles of salvage are just that. Salvage. I prefer to stay off the hit-list, so I am simply using what the Void has provided me. I do not hunt and capture Betrayers, I simply kill any that strike against me. If simply having information is fair game for the hit-list, then you will find yourself hard-pressed to kill me. I know Darvo very well...
But I digress, on to the dissections. Our first specimen was an "Excalibur" class warframe. The armor stuck, a little, but enough magnetic pressure and it popped right off. The undersuit soon followed, and finally the specimen was laid bare on the operating table. Unlike most others, I prefer to get a little more "hands-on" with my projects.
We drew some blood in a syringe, and it was the standard dark-maroon color. As it was passed to examination, I began precursory examination. The skin of the fallen Betrayer was a light grey, almost metallic in nature, but dull. The body was well-muscled, but not overly so, except for in one place. Both calves of the specimen were thick and dense, showing that evidently they were used often and could provide large amounts of force, in either the forward or upward direction. That, or the towers the Betrayers live in have far more gravity than we thought. Scars covered the surface of the specimen, and there was one wound, an abdominal puncture wound, which appeared fatal. Results on the blood-testing show minute traces of metallic elements dissolved within the blood-stream, meaning this specimen uses metal... a lot.
I began the dissection with three quick, surgical cuts in a Y-shape across the Betrayer's chest. The opening stretched from its shoulders to its sternum, and down to its stomach. The chest cavity opened quickly under my blade, and the specimen's organs were bared to us. I began my cursory examination, and all of the organs seemed to be well-maintained. The heart and lungs were in optimal condition, so I removed them and passed them along to my assistants, who would preserve and analyze the organs at a later date before auctioning them as souvenirs. I worked my way downwards, removing organs and examining them for information. The stomach and intestines could be analyzed to understand the diets of the Betrayers, and perhaps even more about their culture.
I then turned my attention upwards, towards the head. The lungs were connected to a trachea, as expected, and then upwards to the mouth and nose. I continued upwards to the eyes of the Betrayer. There, however, was something strange. After examining and stimulating the pupils, I found that this specimen's pupils actually could fully seal, rather than the nearly-complete closure granted by normal eyes. Evidently, this "Excalibur" specimen looked at something very bright very often, and needed something to completely close the pupils to protect the eye. Regardless, I carefully removed the eyes for further analysis. There was nothing extraordinary about the brain, other than an enhanced brain stem. This specimen tends to do things passively. I'd assume targeting weapon systems is second nature to it. This was basically the end of the dissection, as there were no notable parts other than these.
The body was harvested for anything that could sell as a "souvenir", and then incinerated. It's ashes were committed to whence they came: The Void. One may call me gruesome and savage, but I have one rule. I do not disrespect the dead… unless of course, profit is to be had.
May our ledgers become ocean, our margins C Centauri.
