Chapter 1 – Kae'l

My name is Kae'l, I am a Tenno of the Lotus order, I have lived for more than a thousand years. I have seen things come and go but there are still other things that still won't leave this universe and those are the grineer, corpus and the infested. I and the other Tennos have fought and killed numerous of these factions yet even for a thousand years they still persist to exist waging war on every planet they discover, and today I'm doing what I'm usually doing. Killing grineers.

I was running down the hallway, bullets zipping from right behind me, I turned to the corner only to see five grineer grunts waiting for me. I pulled out my Lex and aimed at each grineer head the first four shots found its way through each grineer head the fifth shot missed by an inch on the last guy but with a few adjustments I pulled the trigger and this time the bullet finally hit creating a decent-sized hole in the grunt's head.

"Tenno, get to extraction. Now!" Lotus said.

I ran as fast as I could, good thing these frames can't get tired otherwise I would be dead by now. I turned to another corner to see the door to extraction. As the door opened I stopped in my tracks, in front of me are tons of grineer soldiers all aiming their guns at me, in the center was my target in the first place it stood there with a mocking grin.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the Tenno… I'm sorry were you looking for me?" he said.

I pulled out my Galatine sword and prepared to lunge at him. My target smiled and laughed hysterically.

"You'll have to try harder than a simple sword to get though me I mean look at this! – he waves his hand around him – how can you possibly kill me without losing an arm or a leg,"

If there is one thing that the grineer hasn't learned is that they don't mock a Tenno. As he was doing his monologue I charged my energy on my right foot, while doing it he gestures a hand motion which made all the grineers in the area to open fire at me. Time slowed down as I lifted my leg and stomped on the ground a, seismic shock wave emerges from my stomp the stomp was so powerful that it even disrupted time itself, any grineer that was affected by the stomp either died from the initial shockwave or floated in midair. I charged all my energy again and released a rhino charge; the grineers that were in the way were easily shattered. Time came back to normal making all the floating grineer drop face first in the floor writhing in pain. I slowly approached my target, he was backing away from me, fear clear in his eyes.

"P-please! Don't kill me!" he begged.

I raised my Galatine and stabbed him in the heart, he flinched for a few moments and then he finally gives himself to Death. I removed the sword from him and looked at the destruction that I just caused. There were only a few survivors left.

"Tenno, leave no one standing," Lotus ordered.

I nodded. I pulled out my Lex and finished off the remaining survivors. After killing them I entered back the Liset and left the planet

Inside the ship I entered the armory, Gern my Kubrow was sleeping soundly, my foundry was making a new weapon and my sentinel which is a Taxon was floating as always.

"Operator, great work on killing the officer," Ordis chimed.

"Thank you, Ordis" I replied.

I went back to navigation and decided to talk to some fellow Tennos at the Strata Relay. I arrived minutes later only to see it like a ghost town. I scratched the back of my head.

'Weird,' I thought.

As I entered the Relay there were more things that was off; first off there were no guard patrolling the place, the energy shields were off and everything is pitch black. Worry starts to creep from behind me.

'Hello?' I called out.

The next thing I remember were the light turning back on, there were party supplies scattered everywhere and a very long fabric with an imprint on it saying : 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY KAE'L"

"Happy birthday Kae'l" everyone in the room shouted

It took me a minute to process what just happened. During that time my good friend Quel thought it was a good idea to taunt me.

"Would ya look at that! He's so old he forgot what a party looks like," he said which mad the crowd laugh.

Now that I think about it I did forget it was my birthday.

"Well buddy, what do you think?" Quel asked.

"I gotta say, Quel this looks amazing," I said which made the crowd cheer more.

"That's right you'd better be impressed! I had to pay two hundred fifty thousand to get this party," He said

I looked at him with a worried face. Only for him to laugh even more.

"I'm just fuckin' with ya, who wouldn't know you birthday you're the oldest Tenno in the universe!"

"Hey! I'm not THAT old. I'm only 1999 years old," I said.

"Ya hear that fellas, that means he just hit the big 2k today" Quel shouted which made the crowd cheer and whistle.

I chuckled. "Okay, Okay maybe I am little bit old," I said which made the crowd giggle.

"Alright enough of this we want to hear a good speech from the oldest Tenno" Quel said.

The crowd cheered one last time before everyone went quiet. The lights slowly dimmed and a spotlight shined down on me. I gave a short cough and started.

'I don't really know what say really. I guess the first thing to say is… thank you. All of you. I know that these past hundred years have been hard- no excruciating, we all have seen some of our fellow Tennos come and go and the grineer, corpus and infested still continue to fight against us. – a few Tennos lowered their heads – But! Somehow even with all of the chaos happening out there, we still find time to do this – I pointed out to all of them – and that my friends is amazing… Thank you," I finished.

The crowd started to clap some even whistling. Quel walked up to me and shouted at the crowd.

"Alright now, who's ready to PARTAY!"

"YEAH!" The crowd said.

And we partied the whole day.
