=O ! Really !?!

[Rising Dragon]

Check the notes. They also adjusted Void drop tables, so some items are in different locations. For example, the Dakra Prime blade I oh so covet is now located in T3 Survivals.

And I don't have any keys for there either, so go figure.

[KBTKaiser]

I'm stuck in need of Orthos Blade and Braton Reciever to complete my void weaponry set...and then all I will have left is research, vault runs, and interception...well, I guess hunting for rare mods still is an option.

[Rising Dragon]

All I want currently is the Stalker equipment and the Dakra Prime. Sadly neither of those will be in my grasp any time soon--can't get anyone to join my games thanks to Frontier fucking over my connection, so I can't do any high-level Survivals to get T2 or T3 keys, and Stalker pretty much refuses to attack me in any level where I have backup, preferring to murderfuck me when I'm on my lonesome.

[Drake]

I have a bunch of T3 survival keys if I recall correctly, I'll check later.

Maybe now I'll get frost prime and glaive prime after all !

Edit: Swapped a Frost Prime systems bp (the one I needed) for a vigor mod and traded 10 plat for the dakra BP + parts ! =D

[Rising Dragon]

Another day, another Stalker attack. This time on a level with more than just me on it!

A level with three other people, all of whom were of the "not kill anything and fly through the entire level at breakneck pace" variety, so when Stalker came after me, I was still fuckin' alone.

Fucking tired of players like that.

[Drake]

Yeah I hate people like that too, if they want to speed run then they should just solo or play invite only or something.

Ugh I've just noticed I need 15 orokin cells to build Dakra Prime... its gonna take a while =E

[Rising Dragon]

Honestly, after the trouble you go through to get the Dakra Prime parts, acquiring the cells should be the easiest part.

[Wild Goose]

I have a spare Dakra Prime blade and handle if anyone wants it. Just need a BP.

[Rising Dragon]

I'll take the blade! Actually if you have two spare blades, I'll take both--my brother needs one too.

[Wild Goose]

Sorry, only got one blade; I'm keeping another for myself.

I also have enough complete parts for two Latron Primes. so if you have the BP and are chasing the parts, have at ye. (That said in my experience parts were easier to find than BP.)

Also, I wrote a little something about Warframe:

Spoiler for Nova of Louise:

= = = = =

Znt x Waframe - Nova of Louise

She stands upright, projecting a confidence she does not feel, and utters her chant, seeking her Familiar:

"My name is Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere. Pentagon of the five elemental power, Heed my summoning, and bring forth...my familiar!"

Her spell goes out, through time, space, the Void- and finds the familliar whose heart resonates with hers the most.

= = = = =

There is a flash of light.

One moment ago, she was tearing her way through the Infested hordes. The mob fell upon her as she was reloading her rifle, and so, slinging it on her back, she fell upon the monstrosities, wielding both her shortsword and dagger, not unlike a small storm with metal teeth.

The next moment, she sees the Void, that which has touched all those who are called Tenno. There is a rushing feeling - a feeling as though she is falling, deeper and deeper into an abyss, racing past stars, the solar rail, Grineer and Corpus ships, deeper and deeper, a neverending fall through space-

And there is a flash of light.

Her sight is momentarily disoriented, but she feels the pull of gravity. Instinctively, she readies herself, and drives her blades into the ground as she lands. A shockwave blasts out, a wave of heat and noise, and she brings her glowing blades up before her, scanning the room for threats.

She is surprised. There are no hulking Grineer clad in bulky armor, no Corpus crewmen in their baggy jumpsuits and boxy helms, no twisted quadrapeds and bipeds that make up the Infested horde. She sees a bald man in robes, with a staff in his hands, and reads his stance: alert, watchful, concerned, ready to defend his charges should she threaten them. Almost a mirror to her own stance.

She is approves of his caution. One never knows when one may be attacked. A Tenno might be pleasantly raiding an Orokin Derelict's vault for artifacts and other loot, and suddenly come face to face with the Neural Sentry's Corrupted guards.

She gazes upon the faces of human children, and focuses on the child closest to her, clad in a white blouse, black skirt, and black cape. Most striking of all is the hair that crowns her head, soft and flowing like a lion"s mane, a shade of pink that matches the Tenno's own glow.

The Tenno lowers her blades and relaxes her stance. She waits for what seems like an eternity, then sheathes her blades, and inclines her head towards the pink-haired girl.

= = = = =


Gazing at the being she has summoned, Louise feels a sense of wonder - and yet, she feels oddly disappointed. She was hoping for a powerful and majestic familiar, like her mother's manticore. Instead, she has summoned some sort of self-animated golem. Still, it is validation, that she is a mage, that she is not Zero.

The white golem's body appears to shine, and seems strangely smooth and yet tight. It appears female, and is taller than her - not that that is difficult, when she is one of the smallest students in her class. Curiously, the golem's left breast is red, a dash of color contrasting against its white porcelain-like body, and despite its eyeless face, the golem appears to be gazing right at her. Blue boots of an alien style adorn its feet, reaching up to the knees, and its teardrop-shaped head gives Louise a vague impression of seeing herself, but with her hair pulled back into a high bun.

At the back of her mind, a very childish part of Louise bemoans how even her familiar is as flat-chested as her.

She walks toward her familiar-to-be, her steps at first hesitant, and then picking up speed, as the golem remains still and her confidence grows. As she draws nearer, she sees something strange - floating just off the golem's right shoulder is an emblem, a blue circle with a red sigil, evoking a stylised flame.

She stops before her summon, gazing at its eyeless face. The golem looks at her impassively, and then extends its hands toward her. Louise stands her ground, remembering what her sister had told her about dogs - do not react, never let them see your fear - and takes the golem's hands. The golem leans down, and Louise tiptoes and kisses it where she guesses the mouth will be, uttering the chant to bind this being as her familiar.

For a girl who's failed Summon Familiar repeatedly, it pleases her that she succeeds with Contract Familiar on her first try.

Light shines, runes glow on the back of her familiars hand, and the golem hisses, the first sound it has made. It raises its hand, gazing intently at the runes that begin to fade away, and then gestures at Louise to lead it on.

* * * * *

"And this is my room, Familiar," says Louise, leading her familiar into the room. The Tenno can't help but feel a flash of amusement at how Louise is blithely leading a one Tenno army throughout her school, allowing the Tenno the chance to map the school grounds. It's not complete, but it will do for now. The Tenno mentally plans a private reconnaisance of the school later that night; she might not be Loki or Ash, the stealth-focused Tenno, but even though she's a combat-oriented Nova, she can still be sneaky.

Granted, it'll be a little trickier, since she can't employ the usual Tenno method of stealth: killing everyone before they raise the alarm.

"And this is where you will sleep," declares Louise, and the Nova realises that she's been ignoring her nominal mistress. She casts her gaze at the bed of straw, then turns to give Louise a meaningful look.

"Do you even need to sleep?" asks Louise, her head cocked to the side, looking at her appraisingly. "You must perceive the world in some manner, but I don't see any eyes on you."

The Nova sighs to herself. After so many years, she'd forgotten how Tenno are so used to each other, they communicate with body language and thought as much as the spoken word. Evidently, she's going to have to train her mistress in nonverbal communication.

Meanwhile, Louise sighs, and begins undressing, changing into her nightgown. That action done, she turns to head for her bed - and stops in her tracks.

Her familiar is sitting on the bed - her bed - with its legs crossed, lounging lazily. It turns its head towards Louise, and the young mage could swear her faceless familiar was smirking at her. It shifts its position slightly, and pats the bed, inviting Louise in. The young mage sees red.

"That's MY bed, Familiar!"

"Wonderful. I'll make myself at home, then."

Louise gasps in shock, hearing her Familiar speak for the first time. Her voice is unmistakably female, with a slight distortion, and is somehow alien and yet familiar to her. "Come," continues her Familiar, patting the bed. "I don't bite."

"F-familiar-"

"I am a Tenno, a Warrior-God cast in steel and fury, destorying all in my path. I have been touched by the Void. I am mistress of the rifle, pistol and blade. I am an army of one. I am Nova."

Her Familiar's tone and demeanour has changed. There is something menacing in her tone. Instinct tells Louise that the being in front of her is as dangerous as her mother's manticore. The Tenno sitting on her bed is no longer lazing, but intense and alert. Louise can almost feel a wave of pressure acting on her, driving her into the ground, making her smaller...

And then somehow, Nova smiles - despite its blank face, Louise cannot shake the impression that her Familiar is smiling at her - and relaxes. "But that is for my enemies, mistress, and you are not my enemy. Not yet."

"I am your mistress-"

"Indeed you are," laughs Nova, and Louise feels herself blushing, as the Tenno gestures for her to approach. As Louise steps closer, she feels her confidence returning, and declares, "Nevertheless, Familiar-"

"Nova."

"-Familiar, that is my bed, not yours!"

"Your bed is my bed, Louise," says Nova, smirking, as she reaches behind her head. There is a snap-hiss, and Louise realises the blank face is really a helmet. Nova removes the helmet from her head, and now Louise knows for sure her Familiar is smirking at her, as she takes in her appearance.

Her Familiar appears older than her, perhaps by ten years or more. She appears human... and yet, not. Her eyes glow with a muted pink light, and her pink hair is done up in a high bun.

Louise pales. It might be a face aged by more than ten years... but the face of her new Familiar is a face known to her.

"I am Nova," says her Familiar, "But my true name is Louise. Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere. I am you. This is my room, my bed, my school. So you see, Louise, it's our bed, and I have the same rights to it as you. Don't worry, I won't bite. Now, cuddling and kissing, on the other hand, that I make no promises~"

Louise goes from pale to an interesting shade of red, as her older self smoothly moves to her feet and clasps her hands, tugging her into her arms, clutching her to her chest and swinging her in a circle. "I've dreamed of returning here for so long," says Nova - no, the other Louise. "Louise, you've made me the happiest woman in Tristan. Thank you." She kisses Louise on the forehead, and hugs her tighter, nuzzling her cheek against Louise's hair.

"Why am I acting like Kirche?" she moans.

"It's because I'm so happy," says the other Louise, and then she looks down at her younger self and sighs.

The events of the last few minutes have proven to be too much for Louise; her mind has retreated into itself, and while her older self was hugging her, she'd fainted. Nova sighs, her lips twisted in a wry smile. "I don't recall having such a low tolerance," she murmured, and shifted Louise in her arms, carrying her in a princess carry to her bed. Gently, she tucked the younger girl in, smoothing her hair back, and for a moment was still, kneeling by the bed.

"So, in the end, in some other world, I succeeded," she said, a sad smile on her face. "No one will call you Zero anymore. Not while I am here.

"Sleep well, Louise."

One blade it is then. So... how does this work? I've never traded outside of the clan before.

EDIT: Just fought Harvester for the first time ever. Surprisingly easy, but I suppose that's because I had actual full team support for once. And because I had a Magnetic Soma. Got both the Detron BP and Receiver off of it.

It's like normal trading. head into your dojo, invite whoever you want to trade with, and then hit up the trading kiosk, and choose prime parts or prime bp.

[Rising Dragon]

I'll need your screen name then.

EDIT: Never mind, god it. Mine's RDKateran.

[Wild Goose]

Heads up: Blue Tater Alert, expiring in 16 hours.

[Rising Dragon]

Drake and I already nabbed ours. Thankfully. Last time there was one available, the event ended moments before I was able to start the last run to acquire it.

[LoweGear]

So this showed up on Facebook...



From the rumors I've been hearing, these three appear to be the Grineer counterpart to the Harvester, aka pops in randomly in a match trying to smash your skull in.

[Rising Dragon]

Great. More superbosses to jump me when I'm on my lonesome.

[Drake]

Bring it on ladies !

Speaking of the Harvester I've still yet to have it come after me personally, I've only ever seen it come after others in a match I'm in. Even then it never usually lasts very long before being stomped into the ground.

In other news my Dakra prime and Frost prime are finished (yay first primes) and I have a couple of the newer weapons in the oven at the minute.

I've been trying out the Grinlok and up until this point I don't really know what to make of it.... it doesn't really have much hitting power and its magazine is pitifully small, but it looks/sounds cool and the leaver action animation is pretty boss...

All Kat hammer is pretty damn good and can stagger (with normal attacks) or even knock down bigger enemies (gunners and ancients) with its jump slam attack. I've got it fitted with electric damage for dealing with corpus at the minute but its definitely a weapon that requires a maxed fury mod as standard, since its attack and charge speed are painfully slow.

[Rising Dragon]

So basically it's the Impact-equivalent of the Galatine?

Also, I've put forth friend requests to both Goose and KTB, and so far they've both gone unanswered, as both are still set to Pending in my friend tab. Starting to wonder if I misspelled your screen names.
