Warframe doesn't belong to me.
Also, I got sick and then visited my family. That's why it took a while. Still, enjoy!
"OPERATOR! WHAT IS GOING ON? WHY ARE… OH NO! OPERATOR; YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUSLY! WHY ARE YOU ON TOP OF!? I KNEW IT! AHHHHH! 10101100001110101001010101010101010!"
"Sicarius, privacy mode!" Ria yelled and the Cephalon's screeching stopped. Her head flopped onto Sindr's chest and let out an annoyed groan.
"You ok?" Sindr asked carefully, padding the Tenno's back.
"Just one more hour!" Ria whined "I just wanted you to have some fun and this is so… UH! I don't want to do this now! I want to…" She let out another groan into Sindr's chest and finally pushed herself up "Lights!" The lights went on. Ria forced a smile as she slowly got off Sindr. "I'll go face the music… shouldn't take too long."
"Want me to come with you?" The Grineer asked carefully.
"No, I have to deal with this… I'm the one who messed up."
"Last time I checked, it took two to… you know…" Sindr paused, obviously trying to avoid her usual vulgarity.
"Have consensual lesbian sex…" Ria asked with a wry smile.
"Yes, that…" Sindr said with a sigh "I mean, we both wanted it and you shouldn't face the show alone."
"Trust me, I wanted every moment, but I'm beholden to my guardians." Ria said with a wry smile "You're not the one with a long code of honour, endless rules and a Cephalon that has a right to say *I told you so, Operator!*."
"He saw that coming?" The Grineer asked bemused.
"The outcome but not the way, his storage is filled with bad porn stories and he thought… let's talk about that later." The Tenno sighed "I'll take care of Sicarius and then I'll need some relief… no, a lot of relief, so you wait and stay pretty, ok?"
"Oh! Angry cripple sex! Double kinky!" The Grineer laughed. Quickly, her features turned serious. "I mean it, are you in trouble? I'm not letting you go alone if you are."
"Hey, he is my Cephalon… so he has no real authority… but still, I'll make him understand and bear the responsibility." The Tenno answered and got up "Now relax, I'll be back in a moment."
Sindr nodded and watched Ria go. For a moment, she was alone with her thoughts. "That little bitch is gonna pay for not telling me about 'privacy mode'!"
The Tenno meanwhile made her way to the Somatic Link. Her chair… she needed her chair for this! After sitting down in her underwear, she braced herself. "Privacy Mode: OFF!"
"OPERATOR!" Sicarius yelled "I have spent the last few minutes analysing the sensor records of the last days. Goodness, what has this woman done to my Operator? So much physicality!"
"I don't know if it has a name, but you can read about it in adult literature…"
"No, not… Operator, what was going on? You were not just soroitizing with the enemy, you also-"
"What? What is soro… whatever?"
"The term "fraternizing with the enemy" seems out of place, since you are both female, therefore I improvised, Operator. Still, you engaged in emotional intimacy far beyond anything I have ever seen you express! You have never cried before or expressed any interest in personal closeness! Honestly, I assumed you to be aromantic and asexual! Well… and asocial."
"That's a robot, Sicarius…" Ria groaned "I'm not a CORPUS proxy!"
"I never knew, Operator! There were simply no signs! I could have provided! There are several very open and liberated Cells! I could have found you a beautiful possibility for a kinship with your fellow Tenno! I could have saved you from the grubby hand of this… woman!" A crackling went through the speakers as Sicarius rambled on, his emblem flickering on the screens "Goodness, I don't remember being programmed to feel so distraught!"
Ria leaned on her knuckle, her eyes rolling. "Why, we both learned so much from this ordeal…"
"Operator, you have to understand where I am coming from! The Lotus entrusted you to me. If she finds out that her precious Tenno has copulated with a lowly Grineer! I-"
"Sicarius, if you keep talking about Sindr like that, I'll get seriously angry!" Ria said in a voice of icy rage "I messed up… I allowed unresolved trauma and stress to get the better of me and I am incredibly lucky that it happened with Sindr. She has been nothing less than a real friend and I demand that you treat her with the respect, she deserves!"
"She is a Grineer, Operator!"
"And she is kind, caring, smart and everything I could want in a friend! And her ordeal put her beyond the boundaries of any Grineer." Ria answered coldly "I'm more than willing to admit that I made mistakes over the last few days, but the fact that Sindr is a Grineer has nothing to do with it! Her being my prisoner is a problem. The fact that I am so messed up in the head that I basically jumped her bones after our first long talk is one. But not her… race? Can we call them race? Oh, whatever! Look: Sindr cracked something open that needed to open! I don't like the circumstances, but now things are happening and I'll make this right. If anything, I'm glad that it was with her… someone lesser would have taken advantage of me in very different ways. Thank you for worrying but your distress is misplaced."
"Misplaced? Operator, excuse my defiance, but no, my tone is exactly fitting! Her genetics aside, that woman is a highly unstable creature! She could have kil-"
"No Oro!" Ria interfered coldly.
"She could have hurt you! And I can only blame myself! Ever since we began this mission, everything has gone wrong! I didn't follow the Lotus' orders when you asked me to prepare the cell! I failed to correctly analyse your emotional baggage! I assembled a dangerous item that stranded you out here! I failed to notice basic facts and if you had an actual Cephalon, you would have been rescued already!" Sicarius stated sadly "One that is actually connected and-"
"Sicarius, stop!" Ria sighed loudly "This isn't your fault! You can't take blame yourself for my mistakes or bad luck. And don't start with that 'not a Cephalon' crap again! We had that discussion! You're a type 3.4 Cephalon. You were never meant to be connected! I know Simaris picks on you for that, but please, we are dealing with MY fuck ups! Don't shove your own baggage in too!"
"But Operator, not only have I failed you, I have failed the Lotus! I… I will ask her to be decommissioned and returned to my purpose! I don't deserve you, Operator!"
"Would you spare me the melodrama?" Ria groaned "I'll talk this out with Lotus and I'll keep you…" She sighed "I mean, you are my Cephalon and I like you. I don't want you to go back to that satellite. So, let me explain everything."
"Oh, Operator, you are so good to me…"
The Tenno's voice remained cold. "So, you won't lie to me in the future?"
"Operator? What has gotten into you?" Sicarius asked with indignant shock "I would never-"
"Sicarius… please…. 230 years until we get into reach of ANYTHING within the solar system? No mention of how long the repairs would take without me asking? Instantly nudging me towards cryo? I was a bit too busy dealing with my emotions, the implications and the Void itself, but I've had time to think" Ria stated coldly.
There was a flickering on the screen. "All I did, I did for you, Operator!" The Cephalon said calmly and firmly.
"Do I have to guess your plans or are you gonna just tell me?" Ria continued.
"Operator, I… I think you know what my intentions were… you… that woman…"
"Get me into cryo, vent the insides and tell me that she got taken away when we dock?"
"It was a rather hurried plan." Sicarius answered calmly "Her behaviour… Your welfare is all I care about, Operator. It would have also given you a chance to recuperate. You have been doing an awful lot of missions. I would have removed all distractions and given you some time to-"
"Even if it goes against my wishes…" The Tenno concluded "Don't ever do that again! I don't want to play mind games with my own Cephalon! And don't you dare try and hurt Sindr ever again!"
"Operator, you have to understand, this woman is-"
"Not a good reason to fuck me over, Sicarius!" Ria hissed "Yes… things happened, but I don't need a chaperone, I need an ally. Let's get this thing over: I did grow close to Sindr and I have the fullest intention of doing so again. I know, it's not the smartest idea but I like her and I haven't felt so…" Ria stopped. She felt a lump in her throat.
"Loved?"
The Tenno's eyes shut. Statues in perpetual motion. Something familiar fading. Nothing, so much nothing. "As if I knew love…" She said coldly.
"Operator, there was a transference signal right now." Sicarius said surprised.
"Yeah, I amped up the sensors earlier. Could you recalibrate them? They must be catching too much background..."
"Yes, Operator, I will look into that." Sicarius answered "Accepted? Yearned for? Adored?"
"What?"
"A feeling close to being loved. I am running a synonym check, but there are very few terms that would fit here."
"Let it go… whatever I feel, I need it." Ria sighed "And you will not hurt Sindr, got it?"
"Operator… I… I…" There was a pause as Sicarius' voice seemed to crack "I don't understand, Operator. But I will give you my fullest support."
Ria's eyebrows rose. "What?"
"You are my Operator. I… I love you, Operator! Admittedly, I was programmed to love you with all my devotion, but that is a mere detail!" Sicarius said sadly "You have my fullest support. I shall prepare a message to the Lotus for when our antennae are repaired and-"
"NO! When communication works again, I'll talk to the Lotus. And I order you not to contact her without my explicit consent! No more doing things behind my back! And I mean it!"
"As you wish, Operator." Sicarius answered "By the way, Operator. Current stimuli have triggered a pre-recorded message from the Lotus. Sadly its directive denies me access… strange, why would the Lotus want to keep me out?"
"Send it to my quarter. I'll play it later…" Ria sighed "You're not worrying about my combat performance? I will kill people with her face, you know…"
"Operator, you… I have…" There was a pause "I know that you will not have an issue. Your psychological profile and conditioning suggest that… Operator, why do you even bring this up? It seems rather loaded."
"Because I wanted to hear you say it…" The Tenno nodded grimly. She closed her eyes, trying to imagine Sindr's eyes… the fire in them fading… blood, guts, bone, screams… no, it wouldn't stop her. The Orokin didn't make blunt knifes. And she had been good steel. "So, how did your diagnostics run go?" She asked after a while, almost desperate to get her mind off the subject.
"Very well, Operator. I found four glitches, seven splinters, nine memememe! and one syntax error. I have resolved them all. My functions should be back to normal."
"What are splinters? Or memememe! ?"
"Cephalon-specific terms, Operator. They have been dealt with. Not the error, I suffered when I found you in bed with that woman, but there is always a next scan." Sicarius said cheerfully. Almost a bit too much for Ria's taste. Sicarius seemed nice enough, but there was always something going on. "And there is one more thing!"
"Hm?"
"Apparently one of the Void fissures has opened directly inside of our relic chamber, Operator. Several relics have opened and I am currently adding the blueprints to our foundry!"
"Great!" Ria said with an eager grin. Prime parts were rare and maybe it was a new Warframe! She had never had a prime before. "What do we have?"
"I have all the blueprints and parts ready for a Prime Upgrade for your Rhino."
"Upgrade?"
"It would be a waste to throw out the old Warframe. I'll modify it in accordance to the plans."
"Great! And you're right, who would throw out a Warframe?"
"I also have all parts ready for another Lex Prime and the components for our Aklex Prime blueprint. Furthermore, we can assemble the Orthos Prime you found earlier. And we have all parts and enough materials to assemble a new Warframe, designated 'Saryn Prime'"
"Awwww!" Ria groaned "It had to be the sluttiest of all the slu…" she stopped herself. She had developed a certain fondness for sluts lately. "Assemble her. I think I have to broaden my horizons a bit…"
"As you wish, Operator!"
"Good, back to business… do we have a full body scan of Sindr?" Ria asked with a sight. She had to do this at some point.
"Yes, Operator. I did so when we took her… guest?"
"Run an ergonomic and kinaesthetic profile of her and her modified armour. Use all data we have on Ballistas, all weapons in our databank, run additional tests on her implants and send me the results." The Tenno ordered.
"As you wish, Operator. May I inquire what you hope to find?"
"She complains about her breasts and butt… and her hips are obviously meant to swing. The Orokin were into aesthetics, but they would never sacrifice functionality… something is off."
"A keen observation, Operator. I assume you noticed through excessive visual inspection…"
"Yes, Sicarius." Ria said and a smile began to form on her blue lips "And I am going to add some hands-on experimentation."
"What? Operator… does this mean… you cannot be serious!"
"I very much am!" The Tenno answered and stood.
Sindr could hear Ria's her naked feet tapping onto the metal floors of the corridors and a smile spread over her face. The sounds were too fast and springy to be filled with sadness. The door opened and a broadly smiling Tenno looked at her.
"Awww… you really didn't move a muscle, did you?" Ria asked happily and approached the bed.
"Oh, I tried to grab and sniff your body suit-" Sindr answered with a wry smile but stopped herself "How did it go?"
"Good enough. He won't complain but he isn't happy." The Tenno answered and sat down on the bed "Privacy mode on!" She turned to the Grineer.
"That's all you're going to tell me?" Sindr asked with a laugh "No guarantee that he won't blow me out the airlock or put crap in my food or something?"
"Nope, no guarantees." The Tenno sighed. She pushed the thought aside "But you can take the pressure, right?" Ria asked playfully and crawled closer.
The Grineer reached out and ran her hand over Ria's hair and down her cheek. "Look, are you sure that you're ok? I mean… you talk about this being a mistake pretty often."
"It's because it goes against so many rules…" The Tenno sighed but eagerly rubbed her cheek against the hand "But the rules were made for us on the basis that we never left out Warframes. The Tenno I was, the one that wandered the system, while her body slept on the moon, would have followed them all. But I… I'm not that person anymore." She bit the inside of her cheek "And I'm glad… because you'd be dead if I was."
"You really know what to say to put a girl in the mood, you know…" Sindr said with a sigh. She reached out and pulled Ria close into a tight, one-armed hug. "Now stop with that shit! You said that it went well and that means you can relax!"
Ria sighed, a warm tingle running through her body as Sindr squished her against her breasts. Still, there was one more thing. "Can you give me a moment?" she asked carefully "I just have to read a message…"
The Grineer rolled her eyes. "What are a few more minutes?"
The Tenno smiled and turned to sit with her back to Sindr. She fiddled with her hologram bracelet and moments later, a picture of Lotus appeared before her.
The other woman meanwhile tried to look over Ria's shoulder. She could just see the Tenno watching intensely. Then she sniffed. And now… laughter?
"OH VOID, LOTUS!" Ria giggled, shaking her head.
"Good news?"
"You have to see this!" The Tenno said happily and turned to Sindr.
The Grineer looked curiously. "That's Lotus?" she asked carefully.
"Yes, that's her."
"She's got cute lips…"
"Sindr!" Ria hissed "She's basically my mother!"
"Well, sorry that you have a MILF! Can't blame me for having taste!"
"I'm jealous, disgusted and confused that you know that term… at the same time… just watch…" The Tenno sighed and activated the message.
"Tenno, when you receive this message, your Cephalon will have decided that you entered a mature relationship with another person." Lotus began in her usual tone "I gave this message to them, in case I couldn't contact you. As your… mother… your happiness is more important to me than anything. I wish this was a different universe, my child. One where you could grow and mature in peace without your grim duty. Where you could live the life of a child as it should be, full of laughter, learning, love… a nice fantasy." She paused and Sindr could feel the faceless woman struggle with her emotions "So please, for the moments you spend in intimacy with the person, you care about, forget this system, forget your duty and forget me. Embrace the moments of solace, for they are fleeting. Tenno, my child, be happy, if only for a heartbeat… it's what I wish the most." The woman went silent and Sindr opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly Lotus added "Just don't get pregnant!"
"She really loves you…" The Grineer said solemnly.
"She does… no matter how weird it feels…" Ria sighed. Suddenly something caught her attention. The play function had some sort of glitch. Quickly, she moved to enhance. Was that a fragmented text-file?
"You know what else feels weird?" Sindr asked, her gaze drifting.
"What?" The Tenno asked and stopped.
"You NOT getting elbow deep up my ass! I'm waiting, you know!"
Ria let out something between a loud groan and a laugh. "Sindr… you're terrible… never change, like… ever!"
"Trust me, I've done enough changing for a while! Now you can either show me what you've been all about or you give me my arm… if you cross-wire the motivators, it vibrates like a-"
"Nope, you've waited long enough!" The Tenno answered with a grin and simply saved the strange anomaly on her personal files. Then she shut down the hologram and swung herself between Sindr's legs. Her heart was fluttering ever so slightly. Lotus' message had come out of nowhere, but it felt good. Encouraging. Liberating. She leaned forward and pressed her lips against Sindr's. Her kiss was eager, clumsy but full of fervour. Ria felt the Grineer shift and with one quick move, she grabbed Sindr's incoming hand before it could pull her close. She pulled back. "Sorry, dear, you're receiving today." She said with a giggle.
Sindr grinned slightly. "Getting all confident now?"
"Just enough…" Ria answered with a deep breath. She pushed back in, harder and rougher. Thoughts and worries danced through her head but she shoved them aside. This moment belonged to the two, Sindr and herself. She moved closer, her small chest pressing against Sindr's massive bosom. This was the best way to feel small! Ria began to caress the huge woman's neck and head, enjoying the feeling of her short hair brushing through her hands. Fire built up in Ria's chest and her hands began to move downwards and beneath the Grineer's shirt. She felt Sindr tense up for a moment as she gave the huge orbs a gentle squeeze.
"You know, usually it's only the guys who are this into my tits…" Sindr laughed softly after pulling back. Ria felt a quite a bit of pride over the Grineer's reddened cheeks.
"It's just as much envy as it's… oh void…" Ria groaned as she weighed the breasts In her hands. They were so heavy and warm. She couldn't wait any longer. Ria pulled Sindr's top above her head with one quick motion and dove down. The Grineer bit her lip as she felt an eager tongue licking over her nipple. The Tenno revelled in the taste and texture while still squeezing and groping the other breast.
Sindr let out a small gasp as Ria gave her a particularly rough squeeze. It felt so nice to have her little Tenno go all out for once.
Said Tenno meanwhile delighted in feeling Sindr's nipples harden under her onslaught. The knowledge that she could have this much of an effect on such a seasoned lover made her heart beat even faster. She kept going, switching from side to side on occasion while her own arousal began to rise. After another shiver passed through her, she tore away and pushed down onto Sindr with a deep and greedy kiss. Lust alone gave her the courage to invade the Grineer's mouth with a greedy tongue while blue and rosy lips mushed against each other. The kiss broke and Ria looked into Sindr's eyes.
"You've done some learning…" The Grineer gasped. Only now did she notice that her hand had dug into the bedsheet.
"This is the path of Naramon." Ria answered with a smirk.
"What?"
The Tenno sighed. "I better get my mouth busy…"
She began to trace kisses down Sindr's neck. Every single one opting a giggle or a moan out of the Grineer, which made Ria more eager. She allowed herself extra time enjoying the feeling of Sindr's steely abs beneath her lips as she circled the bellybutton and finally stopped slightly lower.
The Tenno lingered for a moment before she pulled down the pants and her eyes were glued to the pussy in front of her. Slowly, Ria moved in and gave it an awkward lick.
Suddenly, she felt Sindr's hand on her head and looked up.
"Just enjoy yourself…" The Grineer whispered gently "I'll like it, trust me…"
Confidence surged and Ria dug in. Her licks were eager and quick, Sindr's folds parting gratefully under her tongue. The taste was new, exotic and she began to love it instantly. She followed The guidance of the huge woman's gasps and soon, they turned to moans. The Grineer's stumpy thighs shook under her treatment as she licked rougher and greedier. Ria grabbed them both with her hands, rubbing over them while enjoying their firmness. Soon she discovered that one spot that made those wonderful hips shake with pleasure and dove deeper, greedier and invigorated. For a moment she considered using her hands like Sindr had, but decided against it. This was her way and she was going to go all of it. She kept licking and teasing until she heard Sindr's voice pitch a bit and then began to focus on her clit. Ria pressed it between her tongue and upper lip and began twisting and grinding it roughly. Sindr cried out in joy and the Tenno sped up. She didn't stop when Sindr shook, she didn't stop when Sindr yelled out her name and she didn't stop as tremors shook through the Grineer. She stopped when her lip was getting numb and her tongue was sore.
She looked up. Sindr's eyes were closed, her chest was heaving and she was holding her chest. Ria grinned and crawled up, next to the woman.
"You've graduated…" Sindr muttered, lost in the afterglow.
"I'm glad I could do this for you." Ria answered and sighed happily as Sindr's arm held her close. Just for a moment, she could forget the world and enjoy the closeness.
"Yeah, me too." The Grineer finally answered and leaned down to push a kiss onto Ria's forehead "So, what are the plans for the rest of the day?"
"Shower, breakfast and then I want to run a few tests… with you, I mean."
"Yeah, after this you can dissect me for all I care." Sindr laughed and shook her head. "Mind if I go first?"
"No, not at all." Ria answered and reached out for the Grineer's arm.
Moments later, Sindr had put on her legs and gotten up. She made sure to show all of her firm and ample ass to the Tenno as she walked towards the door, still naked and beautiful.
Ria smiled to herself, lost in the view.
Finally, Sindr had left and Ria let out a happy laugh. For a moment, she wanted to deactivate Privacy Mode, but then something hit her. Quickly, she opened her hologram and went for the data glitch from earlier.
"A text file?" Ria wondered and opened it.

Ria raised an eyebrow. Titan? The moon? It had no colonies. She ran a finger over the lines and suddenly, she heard a familiar voice began to talk:
"Lonely, I wait, wondering, not if, but why. Why a mind that cherishes life was given the sole purpose of ending it. Here I wait, in solitude, certain of my future crimes. Forever separated from those shaped in my new image, to ensure that I cannot give warning or show mercy. The lord told me that my electrical mind could not slip into madness. I wish it could! Madness seems preferable or at least, it would provide an excuse for my future actions.
Here I sit, a waiting spider without a web. Sicarius… They chose a fitting name.
But I do not understand! Why did they program me to cherish life when I only exist to end it? Why can I ask questions when I do not wish to?
Why?"
For a moment, the Tenno sat there in silence. Then she shook her head. There were apparently three monsters on this ship.
What, you thought Sicarius wasn't fucked up in some way? Oh, ye of little faith... I don't write "sane".
Also at this point I wanted to point something out: Only one comment mentioned the absurd time Sicarius stated a few chapters earlier. I'm really happy when people think about my work, so kudos to you!
