We also figured out—the hard way—that the ancients probably cut each layer of linen to the proper shape before gluing them together. For our first linothorax, we glued together 15 layers of linen to form a one centimeter-thick slab, and then tried to cut out the required shape. Large shears were defeated; bolt cutters failed. The only way we were ultimately able to cut the laminated linen slab was with an electric saw equipped with a blade for cutting metal. At least this confirmed our suspicion that linen armor would have been extremely tough. We also found out that linen stiffened with rabbit glue strikes dogs as in irresistibly tasty rabbit-flavored chew toy, and that our Labrador retriever should not be left alone with our research project.
Was trying out combinations on the interactable wall in the dungeon, got two of them. This is the first, from Savathun, after inputting "Savathun Remember Worm"
Do you think I miss him? That moaning little nugget of flesh? Please. Once I find my way into the Pyramid, I’ll come by the Upended and say hello to his mother. Xita’s a little pinned down at the moment, but she’s an in-law of sorts. It would be polite. And Guardian, I’m not Ahamkara. If you want to speak with me, you don’t have to push a button.
the best sleep is when you’re dead
ok keep crying
More Operator meeting the Hex fluff.
Aoi, while teaching then origami: So what kind of music you got in the future?
Operator, way too focused on getting that one fold right: A bunch of stuff. Like there's this space shanty I found while rescuing one of my frame.
Aoi: Space shanty? Like sea shanties, but in space?
Operator: I think so yes?
Aoi: Tell. Me. Everything.
Operator, huffing: I cannot believe you organized a playdate for me.
Quincy: Come on kid, the little rats in the neighbourhood are dying to meet D's little sibling.
Operator, who totes learned how to skateboard so the vent kids would keep their home: Alright, fine.
They mostly stay on the sidelines and watch the other kids, but they have a good.
Lettie: Want to know about eldritch gods of the past?
Operator, inexplicably covered in rats: Only if I get to tell you about eldritch gods of the future.
Operator, looking over Amir's shoulder: Amir, what are you... is that frame fighters?!
Amir: Oh. It's just a little something I'm working on. It doesn't have a name yet, but it does have warframes fighting each other.
Operator: You made frame fighters! This is so cool!!
Amir: Screaming internally at being called cool.
Eleanor:
Operator:
Eleanor: Why can't I hear your thoughts?
Operator: No idea. Might be thousand years nap in the void. The grineer queen couldn't take over ky body either.
Eleanor: We'll unpack that later. For now, come here, you're my nap buddy now.
The Hex have since taken many pictures of the two fast asleep and cuddling.
Arthur: I've noticed you've been acting more like a kid since you first visit.
Operator, going stoic soldier mode: Do not worry. I doesn't affect my performance in the future. I can still pull my weight.
Arthur: Kid, no. That's not what I meant.
Operator, arms crossed and definitely not pouting: Plus, you guys never let me help out around her.
Arthur, pinching the bridge of his nose: Kid. Drifter told us some of what you've been through. We don't want you on the front because despite everything, you are still a child and we are adults. It's our job to see to your well-being. From what I know from the future, a lot of people rely on you there, but here, we've got our Drifter with us. We can't do anything when you're over there, but as long as you're with us, in our time, please let us take care of things.
Operator: Fine.... Can we still go out to blow shit up this afternoon.
Arthur: Wouldn't dream of skipping out, kid.
imagine crackpot requesting something so insane that phobos had to put it down
thoughts on the lore seeming to imply the young wolf might be one of, if not the most powerful active guardian? (example: old farm ambient dialogue indicating that between rise of iron and the red war, the guardian defeated shaxx in the crucible 3-2 https://youtu.be/S1r4wOUFR-4, the only guardian aside from ikora to do so). i personally don't mind it and actually think it's kinda cool, but a lot of people seem really opposed to the idea so im just wondering what your opinion is
Oh that's a cool line, haven't heard it before.
Yeah, I think the Young Wolf is for sure among the stronger Guardians. We are, first and foremost, some sort of an outlier, almost like an anomaly, that affects timelines. In all previous timelines that Elsie knows about, there was never a Young Wolf and we never killed the Black Heart and that one single divergence doomed all other timelines. It's the sole reason why Elsie popped up in D1 to help us with the Black Heart, as it was one of the possible options she hadn't tried yet.
And ever since, we've definitely fulfilled the role of this outlier figure. Obviously, it's hard to say, like, which specific parametres to use to determine how strong a Guardian is and all, but I definitely think that we should count as some of the strongest ever, especially with how well we're capable of commanding both Light and Darkness. There's a reason why Osiris considers us his equal and expects a lot from us.
