[[WMG: Potential translation of The Man In The Wall's [[spoiler: line at the end of ''The New War'' and ''Whispers In The Wall'']].]]
After much debate over what was truly said, the latter quest reveals what [[spoiler: TMiTW said.]]
--> [[spoiler: ''VOULL NE XATA VOK, MARA LOHK?'']]
We have translations of [[spoiler: Xata (Truth) and Lohk (Void) and Mara is [[AllInTheScript the placeholder name for the Operator]], who is a teen at best. Voull sounds very similar to Oull, a [[LiteralWildCard Requiem Mod that fits as any other mod]], with a description of seeing a multitude unfold from countless faces with a static picture of an eye seen when killing a Lich/Sister of Parvos and shifting through the other Requiem Mods in the mod menu, or perhaps seeing the Truth (or in Voidtongue, Xata). There are no direct translations for Ne and Vok, but can be inferred or are meant as conjugations.]]

As such, a proper translation would potentially be:
-->[[spoiler: ''DO YOU SEE NOW, CHILD OF THE VOID?'']]

Specifically, a K-Drive pro-skater. That's how she got acquianted with Yareli. That would also make her neither scientist, nor warrior, as the Son attests. Also, having to work for living and having little holding of her own would make her less of an oppressor, enough for [[spoiler:Dagath to spare her.]]

From what we’ve seen of the teaser, the monsters share a combination of technological (thanks to the computers and wires seen strewn about) and organic (thanks to all the MeatMoss connecting the computers together), and they share animations with the Infested Runners and Ancients. Now, the Technocyte Plague is called that for a reason, being able to corrupt technology as seen with Jordas and the Mutalist enemies. Yet the monsters seem more overtly technological, in contrast to the organic growths of the modern Infested. Added with the man in the Excalibur suit, Arthur, one poster in the area having a man resembling Dr. Metzger, and his ally Aoi possibly performing Mag’s Polarize, it’s highly likely that the 1999 in the trailer is around an alternate version of the events that took place during the original Technocyte Plague outbreak.

* It looks like ''1999'' will be a SettingUpdate remake of darkSector, because the lore heavily drifted apart between the games.

Drusus notes a sort of recognition in one of his salvaged images for Voruna's Leverian, and in the other, she's cradling the child as she returns to her ship. We know that it's difficult for Operators to walk or perform Transference right out of stasis, and that Tuvul had to keep this secret, so it can't have been a normal Yuvan, but Lua also has the Reservoir; a whole facility of Tenno, ripe in stasis. If Voruna's Operator was to be Tuvul's impromptu Yuvan, he may have been trying to turn Voruna against the other Tenno.

* This one's really iffy. The Corpus are descended from the Orokin that survived the massacre by the Tenno, but they've lost much of their former culture and technology in the process.

[[WMG: The Lotus [[spoiler:[[BrainUploading contains part of Margulis within her]].]]]]
It's not a coincidence that [[spoiler: the two have the same voice and motherly attitude towards the Tenno. Margulis' main contribution to the Orokin war effort was perfecting Transference. "The Silver Grove" reveals that Transference was able to be used for more than just creating a link between Zariman children and the Warframes (Archimedian Silvana used it to become ''a tree'') and it's implied that creatures linked via Transference will pass similar attitudes onto one another (as Silvana felt "an evil ink, staining [her] mind" when piloting Titania, and the rogue Titania later decided to defend [[NatureHero Silvana's]] forest to the death). It's entirely possible that Margulis, rather than put her surrogate children in the line of fire, attempted to take the easy way to win the war and simply use her own invention to [[HijackingCthulhu brain-jack]] the enemy HiveMind, or at least use one unit to infiltrate and destroy their fleet. While she didn't ''completely'' succeed, the one Sentient she linked to, Natah, inherited some of Margulis' personality, particularly her attitude towards the Tenno; this provoked the Sentient to consider that she could no longer bear her own children. Margulis was executed by the Orokin because they didn't approve of the risk she took and the subversion of their plans for the survivors of the Zariman Ten Zero -- or perhaps out of fear she turned over Orokin secrets to the enemy and received some of the Sentients' hostility in return. When Natah broke away from the Sentients, Ballas accepted her into the Orokin ranks because she was all that was left of the love he once knew, and charged her to guide the Tenno, who accepted the aid of the [[ReplacementGoldfish familiar voice.]]]] And of course, when the war ended and the Orokin attempted to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness dispose of the Tenno]] out of fear they could [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turn on their creators]] like ''[[FromBadToWorse everything else]] [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard they made]] [[ProperlyParanoid already had]]'', the Lotus did the motherly thing and turned on the Orokin, warning and convincing the Tenno to [[SelfFulfillingProphecy fight for their lives]].
* This is a beautiful theory, and definitely explains some things that would otherwise seem contradictory. In the War Within, the Lotus talks about how all traces of [[spoiler: the Zariman children]] except for their physical presence was erased, yet somehow she knows enough to answer some of their questions, including some of the revelations that Teshin gives in the War Within. Since the Lotus is [[spoiler: a Sentient A.I.]] there's no other way she could have known this information, since without digital records, the information does not exist to her.

In VideoGame/{{darkSector}}, [[VideoGame/{{darkSector}} Hayden Tenno]] [[spoiler:equips a version of the Excalibur Warframe about ¾ through the story.]] The suit stays on him the rest of the game, and later on, [[spoiler:one of the bosses is Nemesis, which is now a variant skin for Nyx.]] Additionally, Hayden is infected with the Technocyte virus, from which he didn't go insane only because he had congenital analgesia (inability to feel pain). [[spoiler: He never ''did'' get cured, though.]]

On the Warframe side, we know now that the Warframes are [[spoiler: remotely controlled by the Zariman Ten-Zero children.]] However, the suits have been seen to be somewhat sentient, perhaps only applying to instances where the danger to themselves [[spoiler: or their controllers]] is near annihilation-levels, like against [[spoiler: the Stalker in Second Dream.]] We also know that the 'frames have some infested infliction ([[spoiler: Jordas states as much, plus it's much more prevalent with the recent Nindus 'frame and room]]), and finally, that the Orokin were the ones to create them for [[spoiler: the superpowered Zariman children,]] using the Technocyte Virus in some way.

My theory is this: the Warframes aren't empty, no; instead, originally, the Warframes were just that, hollow suits of armor created by the Orokin. But since [[spoiler: the Zariman kids]] couldn't put them on, or they had no way to just switch between them, the Orokin chose a soldier from their ranks, each one having very specific mindsets and abilities, and used the same Mind Control technology they used on [[spoiler: Ordan Karris]] or something similar to essentially make those soldiers "brain dead", creating vegetables that had no conscience of their own, yet leaving their instincts and muscle-memory intact (hence why the frames could react when [[spolier: stabbed by Hunhow's sword]]; the threat of death made them instinctively react and attempt to save themselves). Next, they would outfit the body with a Warframe suit that best fit the abilities of the soldier. And finally, they would inject small doses of the Technocyte Virus (or feed, or however the hell the virus spreads) into the body and the Warframe, with both eventually fusing into a single being that [[spoiler: the Zariman children could control like puppets and whose abilities would be significantly amplified by the Void powers of the children piloting them.]]

In short, the Warframes are a fusion of bodies and armor, the original bodies being powerful soldiers with certain outlooks on life (such as Rhino, Excalibur, Frost, Vauban), or important figures (such as Nyx, who could've been an Orokin psychological expert; Mag, who could've been a famous Orokin engineer; and Valkyr, heavily depending on what her outlook on life and Void Imprint was before being tortured by Alad V). Each of them was rendered brain dead, then fused with a frame that fit their ability, and finally [[spoiler: given to the Zariman children to power up with Transference]], amplifying their instincts and muscle memory to become actual supernatural abilities (except for Vauban, that BadassNormal bastard). [[spoiler: In the case of Nindus, since his blueprint is from an Old War Relic, then perhaps his frame is created by injecting too much of the virus into the body, creating a body more in-tune with the virus itself than whatever the original body was.]]

[[spoiler:The man in the wall said it was good that the operator remembers Isaah's death the way they did. It's almost like he expected this. I think he mimicked the Lotus' voice to put the Tenno on the trail for finding Umbra. He had to have known from the very beginning. synchronizing with the Umbra warframe while he still had memories of his son's death would lead to the tenno internalizing and misremembering Isaah's death as if they did it. That's why the Man in the wall had been wearing the Lotus' helmet during the chimera quest. It's meant to symbolize that the Lotus never put the Tenno on the trail for Umbra, it was the Man in the Wall. As for why he wanted the Tenno to obtain the Paracesis, The sentient slayer. I predict that he knows that Tenno will eventually have to kill the Lotus, their own surrogate mother. No matter what the circumstances, they can't 'want' to kill her. I predict that he's counting on the Tenno's matricide to finally break them, '''corrupting their minds with despair until only HE remains'''. Just like the Red Queen wanted to become the Tenno in The War Within, The Man in the wall, wants to take over the bodies of the Tenno. But, like the Tenno can fight off the Red Queen's continuity, it's possible for the Tenno can fight off the Man in the wall. As for a permanent solution, I have no idea. What do you guys think?]]

Drusus notes a sort of recognition in one of his salvaged images for Voruna's Leverian, and in the other, she's cradling the child as she returns to her ship. We know that it's difficult for Operators to walk or perform Transference right out of stasis, and that Tuvul had to keep this secret, so it can't have been a normal Yuvan, but Lua also has the Reservoir; a whole facility of Tenno, ripe in stasis. If Voruna's Operator was to be Tuvul's impromptu Yuvan, he may have been trying to turn Voruna against the other Tenno.

It's not a coincidence that [[spoiler: the two have the same voice and motherly attitude towards the Tenno. Margulis' main contribution to the Orokin war effort was perfecting Transference. "The Silver Grove" reveals that Transference was able to be used for more than just creating a link between Zariman children and the Warframes (Archimedian Silvana used it to become ''a tree'') and it's implied that creatures linked via Transference will pass similar attitudes onto one another (as Silvana felt "an evil ink, staining [her] mind" when piloting Titania, and the rogue Titania later decided to defend [[NatureHero Silvana's]] forest to the death). It's entirely possible that Margulis, rather than put her surrogate children in the line of fire, attempted to take the easy way to win the war and simply use her own invention to [[HijackingCthulhu brain-jack]] the enemy HiveMind, or at least use one unit to infiltrate and destroy their fleet. While she didn't ''completely'' succeed, the one Sentient she linked to, Natah, inherited some of Margulis' personality, particularly her attitude towards the Tenno; this provoked the Sentient to consider that she could no longer bear her own children. Margulis was executed by the Orokin because they didn't approve of the risk she took and the subversion of their plans for the survivors of the Zariman Ten Zero -- or perhaps out of fear she turned over Orokin secrets to the enemy and received some of the Sentients' [[KillEmAll hostility]] in return. When Natah broke away from the Sentients, Ballas accepted her into the Orokin ranks because she was all that was left of the love he once knew, and charged her to guide the Tenno, who accepted the aid of the [[ReplacementGoldfish familiar voice.]]]] And of course, when the war ended and the Orokin attempted to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness dispose of the Tenno]] out of fear they could [[TurnedAgainstTheirMasters turn on their creators]] like ''[[FromBadToWorse everything else]] [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard they made]] [[ProperlyParanoid already had]]'', the Lotus did the motherly thing and turned on the Orokin, warning and convincing the Tenno to [[SelfFulfillingProphecy fight for their lives]].
