History Fridge / Warframe

** Radiation; inflicts confusion. At first glance it sounds like they just needed SOMETHING to stick Confuse onto, but real life acute radiation syndrome lists numerous neurological disorders among its symptoms. That, or it just puts IFF systems on the fritz since it also affects robots, and confusion does nothing but turn off the FriendlyFireproof nature of warframes.

** For [[spoiler: The Holdfasts and the Cavia]] you gain standing from handing in items found within their tilesets to their resident smart guy, [[Archimedian Yonta and Loid, respectively]], which are both Void-related materials, as well as from Bounties the "leader" of the group, [[spoiler: Quinn and Fibonacci, respectively,]] hands out. Seeing as how as you progress through their ranks, [[spoiler: TheCorruption of the Holdfasts is steadily undone as they [[TheAtoner come to terms with their past lives]] and the Cavia are cured of their Void sickness [[BackFromTheDead by dying and returning as phantoms similar to the Holdfasts]], coming to grips with their new reality of being a trio of UpliftedAnimal beings]], the materials you hand in and favors done for them end up driving progress towards their ultimate goal, and let you take items they also found from the territories they control as thanks.

*** The above being said, it makes great sense for the Entrati to give you tokens instead of just giving you standing straight up. They all hate each other, and it's likely the Tenno doing something for one of them wouldn't mean a lot for the others. It takes Grandmother, the one person who the family unanimously likes, to get them to value the Tenno's help equally no matter what they did and who it directly benefits. The exception is Otek, who doesn't seem to have any negative opinion on the Entrati, but it's likely because he and Loid are outsiders that their contributions are also separate from the family, considering the most acknowledgement they get is Mother having the two run as MissionControl.
* Its odd that the Grustrag Three of all people would practice MookChivalry, being a hit squad made of the most insane and violent soldiers in the Grineer Empire. Considering how unremarkable they find the Tenno however, its possible that they are actually using it as a SelfImposedChallenge. Thinking that it would be no fun to gang up on such an inferior foe, and that fighting one-on-one would be more entertaining.

* Part of the reason for Dagath being cast aside by the Orokin couple she was part of post-transformation into a warframe was because their relationship was no longer seen as taboo. Think about that word-choice. '''Taboo'''. Suddenly all the SculptedPhysique the other warframes have a much dirtier reason for existing.

* With the ''New War'' we're introduced to Kahl-175, a seemingly normal Grineer foot soldier who near the end of his playable segment, lamenting the loss of his comrades decides in his seemingly final moments that his sacrifice isn't for the Grineer nor the Queens but for his brothers. After his subsequent veiling and escape from its influence after the death of Ballas in Veilbreaker, he goes completely rogue from the Queens after liberating not only himself and an entire platoon of fellow Grineer (and one Corpus Crewman) with the aid of Daughter Entrati and the Tenno. This alone implies that the Grineer's loyalty to the Queens isn't cloned into them as the stories of the Meridian, Kavor and Clem suggests, ''its merely the pressure of treason that keeps them in line.'' Which begs the question, [[WhatMeasureIsAMook how many of the several trillions of Grineer who have died up to this point would have changed sides had they simply been given the opportunity?

* Lephantis' second phase strangely names each of the heads as "Infested Grineer," "Infested Corpus" and "Ancient Infested" despite the former two looking nothing like either. While it could be taken as a sign of how far the Infestation can detach you from your former shape, they all align with what the head does. The Grineer head uses a massive scythe, mimicking the Grineer's simplicity and tendency to use close-ranged combat. The Corpus head summons spawning pods, referencing the Corpus' love of proxies and minions to fight for them. The Ancient Infested head fires spore bombs that, despite their range and damage, don't ignore shields, possibly harkening to the severely diluted intelligence of the Infested and how they attack very simply, yet dangerously.
