Spoilers for The Sacrifice
Since Excalibur Umbra's entire being is connected to the Operator's mind now after the quest, does that mean he can see or listen to whenever the Operator's doppleganger appears or say something?

It's likely too hard to implement tbh but I wish we had shoulder cape attachments (ft. my excalinewb fashion when I couldn't afford a single palette)

"And it was not their force of will - not their Void devilry - not their alien darkness... it was something else.
It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing--
And take away its pain."
This is my entry to the Warframe 10th anniversary contest.
Feliz aniversario Warframe!

Warframe really said 'let a piece of someone become a part of you so that it may free you from your self-inflicted prison of trauma' and that's something that is so intimate actually

Nothing is funnier to me than the idea of Ballas selling the tenno out (and by extension, the orokin and humanity) to the sentients just because he was getting pissy about how the orokin treated him. Which I guess really does explain his "speeches" during the new war. Man has the moral fiber of waterlogged cardboard

so you know how at the end of a quest you get the little title card at the end with a snapshot of a Moment surrounding the story? like - following the sacrifice - you get your operator and umbra set to smiles from juran, which is the emotional lynchpin of the quest. after duviri, you get a remarkably hopeful and heartwarming shot of teshin with his rabbit - and the vocals and pizzicato are similarly so lighthearted and tranquil in contrast with the bulk of duviri's tone - it's a bit of earned respite!
whispers in the wall gives us this really nicely framed shot of loid and the vessels from the climax of the quest - and, like, someone confirm or correct (there was a lot of "ohhhh!!!! WHOA !!!" happening on my end i did NOT get a good listen), but isn't the accompanying track what you're hearing during the final boss fight? it's such a heavy-hitting note to leave off on and i love that - instead of resolution, like you feel for the above two examples, it feels more like we're just getting started with something. no neat sense of closure or respite here! and it ties SO incredibly well with the notion that the origin system is still very much in danger - but, for now, we've managed to beat it back. love as the antithesis to indifference. compassion as the weapon we have at our disposal, and it is going to be put to the test, but for this, it was enough, and we just have to hope it will always be enough

thinking about how when i caught up on warframe story quests recently, i dragged umbra through like every single one b/c he's strong and I Just Think He's Neat. and i did most of it before my brain which has always been bad with keeping track of wf lore finally clocked who umbra was again. and this only occured to me AFTER i had finished the new war.

Excalibur Umbra thinks he made peace with himself when he let the Tenno guide his hand the moment when they freed him from his pain.
Did he screamed in vain when the Tenno who saved him as their last moments being stabbed untriumphantly by their heart at the hands who murdered his beloved son so long ago?
Did he felt the helplessness and the heart torn anguish creeping back to haunt him as he watched the light leaving the Operator's eyes and it burns their way to his twisted mangled veins?
Did he howled an agonizing cry until his own vocal cords shred themselves when the Operator's lifeless body floating away out of his reach as it's swallowed by the Void leaving him all alone by himself?
The burning memory brands itself again on another victim into his fractured mind, another one he couldn't save the one that saved him.
Not even as a Dax, not even as a father, now not even as a warframe. He could only kill and let die.
He failed again
