It'd probably be good for you both to make some more friends, then. That doesn't make you less important to each other, but it means you have more than one person to lean on. And you have more than one person to help out.

[A little one-shouldered shrug.]

There's this thing called Compliance, in Proles. I don't know when it started. I don't remember. But if you engage in non-compliant behavior, you'd have to go talk to the compliance officer. And she's really nice. Or at least you remember her being really nice. And you have a nice conversation and go home not wanting to do bad, non-compliant things any more.

I know that I would get sent to Compliance sometimes once a year, sometimes after six months, sometimes longer, like two years. I don't remember a lot of things. I don't remember anything before I was sixteen. I have a lot of holes in my memories after. Delta thought--and so did Maine, so did a lot of the Immune, and I think they're right--that my memories kept getting selectively wiped, over and over again. And I don't know what I've lost.

I can't speak for Ordis but I'm trying to get familiar with my crew mates at the very least. Not too sure about friends yet but an attempt is being made I assure you though. So there's that.

[Well that's rather concerning.]

Almost as though you or rather memories were being specifically targeted. Maybe that so called compliance was an attempt to hide something that wasn't meant to be thought over or possibly shared. So I guess I'm with your partner Maine and this Delta in that way of thinking.

It sounds like forcing a memory archival with a cephalon. Not that I have done that but Ordis seems to have gone through that when I lost my memories.

So maybe make new memories in the meantime?

Good. I think you're going to do fine, Tenno.

Yeah, that's basically what the Immune concluded. I guess after they arrived there was some kind of city-wide, targeted memory deletion that some of them caught because they kept offline records.

How much did you lose?

[Smile.] That seems the best idea here. So far no one seems to be able to take them away.

Thank you.

I lost everything for awhile and now it's bits and pieces. Mostly I remember parts of after the void accident but before that nothing. So if anything it's as an ostracized teen before growing out of that.

In short, a lot.

[A grin is offered in return.] That's good.

Is it the kind of thing where you think you might remember stuff some day, or where it's just gone?

For me, it's just gone. Like a sharp cut.

...void accident?

After the Zariman, it's fuzzy and broken up. Maybe it will all come back. Maybe it won't. Everything else is gone. I think it's why I don't have a name aside from what I am.

The accident is what made me into Tenno. Gained powers I couldn't control and separated me and others from the rest of the Orokin.

[She... kind of understands. Maybe? ]

Do you want a name other than that? [Curious.]

[Shrug.] I don't know. I've only ever been called Tenno or that's what I remember. Never thought about taking up another one.

That's okay. Names are important... but not the way other people say sometimes. Your name's important to you. So if Tenno means you and helps you remember who you are, then you keep it.

After I got discharged, I had some people who tried to get me to change my name since I wasn't that Wrath any more. But then I wouldn't have known who I was.

I suppose it is easier to use that as my name now that it seems I'm only Tenno here so it works. Back in the origin system, it obviously isn't as unique so there was more of necessity to distinguish yourself from the rest in some manner. Most of the time they would merely use my frame's name during excursions to help keep things clear.

Whatever you feel best doing. That's the important part. So if you want to be Tenno, you're Tenno.

That seems like the best course of action. Tenno it is. Is there anything that you need me to do in the armory for now?

Yeah, if you could go over the body armor, it needs the weekly check. Okay?

Is there any particular way that you do that? The body armor doesn't seem on par with what I'm used to when it comes to frames.

[Aka they're like training tools if anything to him. How was this supposed to replace his armor if ever?]

The armor's not great. [She shares your concerns, man, unspoken as they are.] I'd really kill for a set of light MI armor or something.

Anyway, most of it's plating in discrete pockets instead of flex weave. So the best thing to do is check each individual plate for wear or cracks. You can do that by touch. Make sure all the joining is still in proper order on the space suits. That's the part that involves picking up heavier stuff and moving it around, so I appreciate the help with that. Sometimes the plating gets kind of messed up and the joints don't move quite as freely so you have to adjust it, I've noticed.

[This was certainly more archaic than what he was used to compared to his warframe but he understands what needs to be done and moves over to start doing inspections.]

So what if I find ones that aren't up to standard? Do we have replacement pieces for these?

We've got repair tools in those cabinets to the right of you.
