Orokin: "The risk was calculated but damn am I bad at math."

Orokin: "Everything we build keeps turning against us... we should build something stronger and more powerful to defeat them!"

It’s almost like the orokin get bored and try and invent a new thing to deal with every week

For me personally, discovering that warframes are infested people was a really cool moment. I wasn't expecting such horror-ish story from this game at all. We see the process of creating one of the warframes in Umbra's quest, but it's a small part of the whole process, I believe. If I remember right, Orokin was also altering minds of warframes, leaving no memories of the host body, messing with their emotions and such. But yet they remained uncontrollable, which wasn't fixed untill Tenno took the stage. And, of course, these procedures were completed no matter if a person agreed or if they did not. Crafting warframes feels messed up too. If we only make copies, why than Umbra got all of his memories, all of his pain, all of his anger still intact? Does it happen for every frame we craft? Do we have to deal with pain of every different warframe that we own?

Bro's got that Albrecht Entrati drip Please do the Corpus next

Like 97% of the problems in Warframe were caused by the Oriken. Also Alad V vid gonna go crazy with what he's done lol

The infestation wasn't created as "the infestation". It was created as technocyte, nano tech which allows bio mech hybridisation.

Infested out here making the Flood look like intelligent Walkers

I call the massive lips in my Orbiter "Wallnut" Also the Helminth in the Operator (you the player's ship) can feed it so it can prodiuce bio matter which you can use to swap out and inject other powers into other warframes which requires you to feed Wallnut a frame you don't want to use anymore (like Non-Prime versions of Warframes) to get said powers.

"Ballas, no I'm not joking." 😂

It's funny how these Warframe videos are doing consistently incredibly well.

3:37 yes its literally both some of the hive minds are greater and have control of half a planet, the two worms come to mind, it’s basically a hierarchy of hive minds, wich means yes there ARE Nidus divisions for every player in game and for the infestation, it’s honestly a great way to introduce infested litches wile not have to spend more of their time developing unique models of the infested, just make us fight different versions of Nidus.

The infestation is called that in the modern origin system. It’s actual name is the “Technocyte” They’re biomechanical nanites that went haywire.

Let's just agree to blame Ballas for this.

Dude these videos are actually so helpful and engaging.

Love your videos!! I always watch them at night and they’re always great!!

I learned way more from a few minutes of your videos than I have from hundreds of hours in this game

Alad v has so much lore not covered in the game anymore which ties into the events of everything basically 😭 he's basically the modern day ballas i think the only thing he didnt have his hands in is the old war

And we need to wait until 1999 to see the TV strain 😂

What’s so cool about the infestation is that without it we wouldn’t have Excalibur Umbra. He was one of the test subjects who went feral.

Add this the grey strain is the sub infestation that albretch use in the past and to create the giant bodys in the sanctum anatómica

Great video that is easily digestible (like the helminth with my nano spores) as always. Will you make a video explaining the origins of the corpus at some point? I’ve heard we’re getting some more Nef Anyo lore soon aswell.

These warframe lore videos are very good Nice new breath for summarizes lore videos Nice content 👍 🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

your drip reminds me of the necramech void pod/shell or something very cool!

interesting detail that makes the orokin seem SLIGHTLY less incompetent is that the sentient can fairly easily take control of machines. Hence they needed something that wasn't machines to fight the sentient. Thus weaponizing the biological infested seemed like a somewhat logical conclusion. This is also what lead ballas to the realisation of combining the idea of machines (they created the sentients and that didn't go well) and biology (the infestation which also didn't go well) by creating the warframes, which as mentioned initially were just supposed to remain loyal and sane, which they didn't. Thank god we have random void kids mumbling about tapping against walls.

If your waistcoat had a circle patternrather than square it would be vary Entrati like.

Small correction (at least as far as I know): The Orokin didn't give the Infestation that name when they first created it, that came later. The name they originally had for it was the "Technocyte Virus", which just sounds so much friendlier.

3:07 Btw to add on to that, not every warframe is necessarily a orokin citizen, dagaths lore indicates shes from duviri and with the 1999 update, excalibur and mag originated on earth

Aclaration, the virus was known as "Helmint" the infestation is the name of the faction given by regular people

I eagerly await Narmer . . .

the cannon name for the ship infestation is Greg. You cannot change my mind

Man, long time without hearing of Salad V

Technically all warframes now are just suits. Only Excalibur Umbra isn't a suit and he is the only warframe that we know of that was created from that hybrid infestation creating thing

Well, originally infestation wasn't called like that. It was called "Technocite", nanoorganisms that restructured organic and unorganic matter into biomechanic amalgamations. UPD. Ah, you mentioned technocyte at the end of video. It is not strain though, all infestation is technocyte. And in most locations it will look like Orokin Derelicts. Look at Eris for exampke.

Fun fact: the infestation are nanites

I have one thing on my mind something whit me always is the emissary strain what caused it to mutate what happened to arlo is the base infestation connected weres arlo and what is he doing why do human maintain that normal human like shape and how the hell its more intelligent

....And then there's deimos/orokin derelict

is there any explanation why when we craft the warframes we need 4 parts (neuro,systems,chassis,bp itself) siince in lore they are infected humanoids? were the orokin just able to make premade humanoid helmith body parts? or is it just purely video game thing ? loved the quick explanation of their lore either way, very awesome

i did named my helminth Audrey 2 hahaha

Excuse my sir!!! I love you frames. Where can I find those glasses frames online?

I assume that later on you will cover what little is known for now about Albrecht's unfinished project - the Vessels.

I thought our operators were contaminated with Void energies during the (SPOILERS) Zariman jump and only a handful of us survived the jump. For those that didn't make it on the zariman from the start were probably being killed off by the void angels. And with this void wielding powers unique and second to none gave us a frame because our void powers were out of control for us to control our void powers and this unique power that let's us control our frames is called transference and that's why we keep our buts sat down on our chair permanently at the end events of the second dream because the chair is the only thing keeping us alive and letting us control our frames from our ship But our frames can still die even with the operator controlling the current frame he's/she's using. I don't know how our frames die but it's just part of the game or lore somewhat

Love this video but there is a thing that is wrong with it, that being the origin of the technocyte because in the newest lore it is suggested that instead of being created by the orokin it actually already existed (my source is the entrati fragments in the newest update)

oh man, the infestation... caused sommany problems and to think that it was almost extinct in the solar system until a certain grineer scientist unleashed it by accident

One question where do you buy your clothes 😅I like the arrangement

We must not be overcome by…*THE FLOOD* the infested. Yes. Definitely the infested

My guy kinda looks like human loid 😀

You look like the other half of loid humanized. This is compliment

Corg really hit the nail on the head with how incredibly stupid the orokin were despite their technological advancement 😂

To be fair, Ballas, despite hating his job, went pretty big brain

You know this reddit screenshot of the guy saying "I love how every story has its version of, and then this was this guy...", it stays true till this day

Some were Orokin citizens, though there are...others as well. Ranging from an amalgamation of random body parts resewn together after their Warframes were deemed "failures." A cyborg can apparently become infested as well, implying the Helminth is capable of similar feets to the Mutalist strain. There's Quorvex, supposedly there was no body with the frame built around something refered to as the "Crucible Core" by the Orokins most esteemed. How? I have no idea, and I fear the answer. Then there is Wisp, who supposedly was a well-endowed subject in the same manner as Dagath; but, the origin of her Prime implies that Wisp is not of our universe or timeline thanks to Eternalism.

...I believe that I am saying this, but I am thankful that this is not a viral video. Because while the surprise is already years old, openly speaking of the game lore with most of it it's story quests in one big summary only makes interested players who wants to play for the story is disenchanting them for that experience and are also making most of them bound to just pack up and leave. In other videos, it's fine. Because they'll be adding a spoiler warning. At the title. Or in the video. While I understand this 'Movie Years ago, we can spoil now' mentality, those are movies. This is a game that requires you to invest 100 hours to get a small sip of another cinematic cutscene. I know that this sounds small but I asked people that plays new games like Helldivers usually say 100 hours is already a huge investment. So please if you could, all O would ask for is to add a spoiler at the title. People who want to spoil themselves could easily find the video. I know that there are already a ton of videos speaking and spoiling about this but let's not add more oil to the fire. Meh, what the hell am I saying, it's already there.

Tecnocyte virus is the name.

Always remember they aren’t called infested by orokin scientists they are the Technocyte the infested is more like a ‘street name’

I named mines Audrey 2

*SPOILER ALERT* so I search and found your video after the Jade shadows update. I dont know if its right, but Jade used to be human and transform into Warframe, and Sorren (aka Stalker) used to be human too, but somehow he still transform into so-called Warframe form but he still have old memory, just like Umbra, but Tenno can't interact with Stalker like Umbra, so any idea why this happen?

Not sure if the Orokin are just that stupid or it's just that their inflated egos are so big they can't give a rat's ass about any other life form aside from their own. The fact that it doesn't matter if you volunteered or not just kinda proves they're egotistic sociopaths. Can't even blame the Sentients when they tried to bite the hand that made them. I half-expected the video to have a segment about the Entrati family in Deimos though. They're the Orokin that got infected. And I honestly wonder if it's why they're more likeable than the average Orokin. Maybe the infestation isn't so bad after all.

Why don't I ever need a Orokin citizen to build my frames? Is it a bug?

The nsme would be Technocyte, thats the name of the infestation as a Virus. Ah ok you got it. Theres also a possibility that other hives are like an outpost still connected to the main Hivemind, which we still dont know where its located, each strain with the exception of Helminth are connected to the main hivemind in some way as Alad was trying his hardest to resist it, same with the Entrati they heard the hivemind telling them to let the heart stop.

wait, I thought the "Son" of the Entrati family was the reason infestation broke out of the lab? because in the cutscenes for reaching certain ranks in standings, it was revealed that the "Son" let the infested go in purpose, so that "Mother" would pay more attention to him. Did I misunderstand or am I missing something? This game's lore is wild so I need some help 😅

So would my Warframe using the Cedo shotgun just be payback for all those Flood missions from Halo?

Stupendous drip

So when we build warframes from blueprint.. we’re printing people?

Its funny i actually named my helminth audrey ||.
