(The problem of the tenno names has been solved!... What? Oh, you were waiting for me to announce them? Oh no no no, you're gonna have to read this chapter for that, enjoy!)

The tenno Rahim sat crosslegged on the nav console of his orbiter, he wasn't using it, he was just staring out the window. Or more specifically, the fully functional saturn relay. He had briefly wondered why The Commander had not given the order to attack yet, after wich he had made it clear that Tyl Regor had not yet locked down the coördinates of the place that the little one had been shot to.

Turning the head of his nekros warframe, Rahim saw the orbiters of his fellow tenno, three of wich outfitted with a prisma hull, one could guess to whom they belonged.

The first prisma liset was primarly colored with a very dark shade of green, one could almost mistake it for black, that in combination with the mirror-like plates gave it a very regal look. It belonged to Elisabeth Brigitte Gerwine von Krieg, or "Elli" as she was commonly referred to by her friends. She mainly used the trinity prime warframe, and had an unusual fixation with "German" culture, nobody knew exactly what "being German" implied, but she seemed happy to be like it. She was also rumored to be "involved" with the owner of the second prisma liset.

This landing craft had a dark shade of cobalt over it, it belonged to the tenno who preferred to use the vauban prime warframe, or "Yidos" as he preferred to be called. There wasn't much to be said about him, he was professional, pragmatic, and a tactical genius. As mentioned before, Yidos was rumored to be romantically involved with Elli, no one spoke of it, but they all knew it.

The third prisma liset had gold plating, the kind that would hurt your eyes if you looked at it for too long. It was the orbiter of The Commander, no one knew his actual name, so everyone called him by his rank. He kept everyone in line, made sure they did their job correctly, a very respectable man. But there was one very specific tenno who always got under his skin, a certain owner of a scimitar landing craft, Vel.

Vel was a violent, unhinged, and often a very lustful tenno who made frequent use of combat stims, the valkyr frame was her sollution for most problems. She was the younger sister of Rivas, a strong, dependable tenno, but not very bright. He kept his younger sister in check, mostly. He preferred the atlas warframe, but often switched to the rhino frame when the situation called for it, he was the owner of a xiphos landing craft.

And then there was Rahim, with his favored nekros warframe. He didn't communicate very much with his fellows, so nobody knew a great deal about him. He kept to himself, mostly showing up just to assist on certain assignments. He was a very brutal fighter, having impressed Vel on more than one occasion. She had tried to make romantic advances on him every now and again, every attempt thus far had been met with complete disinterest on Rahim's part.

"Raaaaaahiiiiiiim~" Vel called out, wich prodded him to sigh, if he could. "You daydreamin' about me again? I bet you're bored out of your mind right now, waitin' for The Commander's order 'n stuff. You knoooow~, you can always come over to my orbiter so we can-" was as far as she got before Rahim cut the connection.

"In earnest, i bethink thy brain might beest damaged, seeing as how thee tol'rates yond mistress' advances." Said Rahim's ship cephalon, Olek. He spoke with an impressive voice that had regal tone to it. His way of speaking was very strange, when questioned, cepahlon Olek would respond with "Doth thou not appreciateth mine own sophistat'd mann'r of speaking?" After wich the question was never raised again. To answer his comment, Rahim simply shrugged.

On the scimitar orbiter, Vel was sitting on the ground while petting her kubrow, Railin. Due to a genetic defect, Railin had certain qualities that would usually be associated with a kavat, like purring. Vel had always been easy to calm when subjected to her kubrow's purr, such was the case here, as she kept fantasizing about doing less than socially acceptable things with Rahim.

She was brought out of her happy little M̶u̶r̶d̶e̶r̶ fantasies when she was contacted by Elisabeth von Krieg. 'Stupid old hag' was what went through her mind when she saw Elli's trinity prime helmet pop up at the side of her HUD. Elisabeth had, in truth, been around since before The Commander rose to power, wich was a long time ago. As oposed to Vel, who joined up with The Commander's clan about two years ago, so her regurarly calling Elli "old hag" wasn't entirely unjustified.

"Frau Vel? I just vish to let you know, Herr Kommandant said that zhe time of junction activation is nearly here! I, uh, i trust i did not interrupt anyzhing?" She announced.

"Thanks, you can go now!" Answered Vel.

"But-" was as far as Elli got before Vel abruptly closed the channel.

'Stupid old hag'

(Meanwhile)

On the saturn relay, Tyl Regor was on edge, was looking out the window of the control room. He saw nothing but the black void staring back at him, but he knew they were there, the sick, slimy lizards were poised to strike at any minute now. Was he ready? Was he prepared? Could he weather whatever they had in store for him? As he asked himself these questions as he pondered the possible destinations of this freshly reconstructed solar rail.

What world would there be? Snow covered? Volcanic? Oceanic? Would there be anything at all? Had he put all this effort only to have it lead to nothing? No! No doubt! Doubt is hesitation, hesitation is failure, and Tyl Regor was no failure.

He was ready, tubemen numbered in the hundreds, scanners scanned every square centimeter of the space surrounding his junction. Deciding not to waste any more time on pondering the unknown, Tyl Regor smashed the activation button of the junction. Mechanisms wirred to life, lights began to glow, the entire structure began vibrating.

And suddenly, a beam of light shot forward, the junction's solar rail had been successfully reactivated! Just as suddenly, reports from several galleons started coming in. Data disapearing, crews exterminated, extreme coolant leaks.

The tenno had come slithering from their hidey hole, right on schedule.

(Meanwhile.)

Rivas and Vel had been deployed ahead straight to Tyl Regor's galleon, wich was docked to the junction, He needed to be neutralized, and the junction captured. Vel jammed an adrenal stim injector into her arm, feeling it's effects take hold, she proceeded to rip through rows of grineer soldiers in a drug-induced frenzy. Charging past her was Rivas in his rhino warframe, groups of grineer soldiers flew about as he spared no energy charging straight to Regor's location.

The bloodsoaked pair had originally planned to sabotage the galleon at first, to wich The Commander disagreed, it would put the junction in too much danger, seeing as how the galleon was docked to it. So, ignoring what the voices in her drug-addled mind told her, Vel kept slaughtering her way through the soldiers that had survived Rivas' onslaught...

Or did she?

They eventually reached the entrance of the junction, wich had been redesigned to be nearly three times bigger, possibly to allow for more space to move building materials back and forth.

They were about to enter when the commander suddenly contacted the pair. "Rivas, Vel, hold that area until the rest of the team can get there." Was his order, Rivas was the first to answer.

"Sir, we can take one lousy grineer egghead on, just let us advance." Was his reasoning, the siblings had never fought Tyl Regor before, leading them to believe that he was really just another scientist.

"Negative Rivas, you and your sister are not prepared to face something like Tyl Regor, you will hold your position." The Commander answered. Unsurprisingly, Vel disregarded his order.

"Yeeeeaaaah no, i'm goin' in, just try to fuckin' stop me!" Vel called out as she started hacking the door console, prodding The Commander to answer with "Of all times, Vel, don't pick now to disobey me." He still tried to persuade her, even though deep down he knew it was pointless, ultimately, she did what she wanted.

He wished to say more, but was denied as Vel closed the channel. "Borin' convesation anyway. C'mon, we got us an egghead to kill!" She announced as she ran into the, now open, door with Rivas following close behind her.

(Meanwhile, with Yidos.)

Yidos was rarely in a hurry, extermination missions were executed at a leasurely pace, capture missions were just sniper training sessions, and assassination missions consisted of him sitting in a corner with an ungodly ammount of traps around him.

But when The Commander contacted him, saying that Rivas and Vel rushed ahead to face Tyl Regor, he started rushing to their position to act as backup, abandoning his mission in the process, wich did not happen often. The siblings, while powerful, were simply not ready for a fight with someone like Tyl Regor.

His orbiter docked with Tyl Regor's galleon. Running through the halls of the massive ship, Yidos saw the corpses of many grineer marines, some were ripped apart, and others died by a blunt trauma.

Eventually reaching the place where the galleon was attached to the junction, he heard sounds of battle. A valkyr's scream was followed by a rhino's roar. What concerned him were the laughs and yells of grineer manics, that must be Tyl Regor's entourage.

Hurrying inside, he was greeted by the corpses of several grineer manics and even a manic bombard. He also saw the infamous grineer researcher, Tyl Regor, in the flesh. He had just amputated Rivas' left arm, and Vel was pinned to the ground by his bladed leg, she was thrashing about all the while, to no avail.

Regor turned to the prime warframe. "Another tenno, shiny, golden, must be stronger. Possible leader? Knew more would come, should've put two and two in combination, no surprise, no surprise at all!" He said, Yidos simply drew his boar prime. "No matter. First you, tenno. Next, your lotus!" He finished as he charged at him. several shots from the boar prime had broken Regor's shields and scratched his armor.

He retaliated by bringing his knux down on Yidos, who deftly sidestepped only to be flung back by the shockwave. Tyl Regor followed this up by putting away his knux and drawing his ack and brunt, only to see that his advesary held the same weapons in his hands.

"So, tenno couldn't come up with a design of your own so you copy mine? Tsk tsk, tenno. Tsk tsk." Was his comment on the copied ack and brunt, Yidos didn't say anything, he simply took a swing with his axe. Tyl Regor copied the action, the axes clashed, they were evenly matched, despite the size diffrence.

Both jumped away from each other, Regor charged with a raised shield, Yidos copied the action. Regor proved stronger as Yidos slid backwards, but held his ground.

Yidos readied his axe for a channeling swing, Regor charged again, axe raised. Yidos brought the axe down, but missed as Regor teleported behind him, not reacting fast enough, he recieved a crippling hit from Regor's knux.

Lying on the ground, warframe nonresponsive, leaking fluids, scrambled HUD, audio receptors still functional.

"Die lizard, leech, bloody worm!" Regor shouted as he brought his enormous fist down on him, he prepared for the impact that would shatter his warframe.

A booming noise sounded throughout the room.

(15 minutes earlier, with The Commander.)

"Of all times, Vel, don't pick now to disobey me." The Commander said, hoping to persuade Vel out of her suicidal idea. His hoped were crushed as Vel cut the connection instead. He would not panic, however, he needed a clear head if this operation was to succeed. Contacting Yidos, The Commander gave him the task of providing backup.

This forced him to abandon his mission, but ultimately, it wouldn't matter. Yidos could only stall Tyl Regor, how long? The Commander didn't wish to test it. Rahim and Elli had since finished their assignments, ordering the two to accompany him to junction, he set out to save his clanmates.

The Commander and his two cohorts raced through the halls of Tyl Regor's galleon, all the while noticing the corpses of many grineer soldiers. It wasn't what concerned him, no, what concerned him were the two downed tenno markers that made themselves known on the minimap. Stepping up their pace, the trio eventually reached the junction through the galleon.

By the time they had arrived, a third downed tenno marker had appeared, Yidos had lost to Tyl Regor. Rushing inside, The Commander was greeted by a dismembered Rivas laying against a wall, a crushed Vel who's head was half planted in the ground, and Yidos who was about to be executed by Tyl Regor's knux gauntlets.

Raising his zarr, The Commander took a shot at Regor, who had his back turned to him. The grenade flew across the room and hit Regor's back, making him stagger, after wich he turned to the trio. "Are there many more of you? I have a date with destiny!" He said.

The Commander started dishing out orders. "Elli, revive them. Rahim, help me keep Tyl Regor busy."

"Jawoh, Herr Kommandant!" "Yesssss, commander." Was their collective answer. Elli bullet jumped to Yidos and started doing as she was ordered. Seeing this, Tyl Regor took a swing with ack and brunt, but found it blocked by Rahim's reaper prime. "Insufferable pests!" He yelled as he raised his axe, before he could bring it down, another shot from The Commander's zarr interrupted him.

Tyl Regor became overwhelmed, his odds of winning shrinked even further when Yidos got back up, his warframe fully repaired. Elli, in the meantime, had attempted to revive Vel, but was waved off as she injected a dose of clotra stim into herself. Elli would often warn against overuse of stims, but this time it was very well justified.

Seeing as how her intervention was unnecesary, she got to work on Rivas. He was severely damaged, and severed limbs couldn't be repaired in the field, all she could do was stabilize him, and so she did.

Meanwhile, Tyl Regor was being overwhelmed by the combined force of the four tenno, any of his attempted attacks had been interrupted, blocked, or evaded altogether. Seeing as how the battle was lost, he ran.

He teleported to the oposite end of the closed doorway connecting his ship to the junction. He planned to bombard the junction, it could be rebuilt again, but he couldn't let the tenno capture it!

"We have to give chase!" The Commander called out, but was objected to by Vel. Again.

"No, wait. He won't make it far, trust me." She reassured, drawing the looks of the team.

"He'sssss esssscaping." Rahim had always been a fan of stating the obvious.

"Just trust us, it's gonna be spet- spectatu- great!" Rivas commented as he slowly stood up, unfazed by his missing appendage.

"Herr Rivas, i told you not to get up so soon!" Elli called out to Rivas, who simply shrugged.

"Just tell us what you got planned, girl." Yidos chimed in, prodding Vel to hold up her hand, silencing him. Tyl Regor's ship had long since come into view of the room's large window.

"Wait for it... Waaaaaiiiiit..." Vel announced as the rest of the room's occupants turned to look out the window, not even five seconds later, the entire ship froze over.

Vel raised a fist, prodding Rivas to bump it, if he could. She had just realised she was standing left of him, the side that had it's arm cut off. So she settled for the next best thing, she bumped his stump.

"You sabotaged the ship despite The Commander's orders? Well, not the worst idea you've ever had." Commented Yidos.

"Sssssstupid... But cleeeeveeeer..." Came from Rahim.

"You stupid Hündin! Ve could have been on zhat ship! Buuuut, i guess you made zhe right call." Admitted Elli.

"For once, Vel, i'm happy you didn't listen to me." The Commander finally chimed in.

Vel made a gasping motion, even though no sound was heard. "A compliment form The Commander? For me??? Rivas! Hit me! I must make sure i'm not dreaming!" The sarcasm was obvious to everyone in the room, except for one person

Rivas obeyed, hitting his younger sister square in the face, after wich she laid flat and stretched out on the ground, tiny lisets flew in circles over her head. The action drew chuckling motions and humerous head shakes from the rest of the group.

(Several minutes later.)

The group had retreated into orbit around the junction, it was now active, their path was clear.

"Alright, i think we've kept out young friend waiting long enough. Everyone, advance!" The Commander ordered, getting confirmations from everyone.

One by one, each landing craft disapeared into the junction's beam. Off to wherever their comrade wound up.

Omake:

"Olly, why do you talk like a fuckin' weirdo?" Vel asked to Rahim's cephalon, Olek.

"Daft wench! Thee dareth fleer mine own sophisticat'd mann'r of speaking!? Whom'st'd've'ly'yaint'nt'ed'ies'y'es art thee to fig any p'rson's tongue, lascivious harpy!?" Olek retorted.

"Is that even a word?"

(I've been hit by inspiration! At long last! Or was it a brick? I dunno, don't remember, anyway! For those of you dissapointed that the main tenno wasn't featured, worry not! I planned for something in the next chapter! I was also made aware that my little stunt with the new six characters might be the downfall of this story, is it? Did i make a wrong move? Well, anyway. I should really improve the first two chapters, i think the bad quality is shooing away readers. That's all, see you in the next chapter!)
