These days I have been writing short oneshots trying to explore my own characters, some theories I have and also how I interpret some things from the lore. This first one is about my operator Kaz and how terrifying the tenno can be to their enemies.
A Nezha walked slowly in grineer galleon. Taking it's time. The ship almost looked empty with no grinner in sight so far, but it was obvious they were somewhere, noises of heavy armor walking around and guttural screams could be heard around the ship, crude attempts at language, the tenno thought. A glimpse of a common day on a grineer galleon, but that would change soon. The tenno mission there was extermination, soon not even one grinner would be alive in that ship.
Nezha operator however seemed distracted. As Nezha walked the hallways absent minded, Kaz had a sentence in mind that she couldn't stop thinking of “These are golems possessed by devil minds.” Kaz didn't know why this sentence kept playing in her head, she heard that for what had seem long ago. The way how Ballas had described the Warframes and the Tenno. This sentence triggered her memory of all the times she heard the orokin referring to the tenno as devils, demons, inhuman creatures that should be feared.
Kaz could remember many tenno hating being called that, including herself. Hearing the Orokin calling them that with disgust loud and clear on their tone. None of the tenno asked for what happened to them, and yet they were demonized for it.
Kaz then decided to finally start her mission, using her rage to focus, and soon the slaughter began. She didn't care if the grinner knew she was there, no one would be alive to tell the story. She was fast, Nezha would leave a trail of fire and bodies, the grinner never had a chance and soon they noticed. Instead of fighting they started running away. A terrible mistake, this only made her start killing them faster, not giving them any chance to run. She then hunted them down, one by one. Quick deaths, efficient kills. At each kill the remaining grinner got even more terrified. At some point someone turned on the alarms but to their despair, there was no one else to come.
Kaz could notice the terror in their faces, almost the same terror the orokin tried to hide under their disgust. Didn't take long for the whole ship to become completely silent, only the machines could be heard. Kaz stand there after she was done, taking in the silence, eyes closed. As she opened again she really saw the damage she did, this time not blinded by rage. Bodies mutilated, blood all over the floor and walls something that looked like the work of a devil… as Kaz walked towards extraction the sentence played once again in her head, devils… maybe there were some truth in their word after all, Kaz could see it. They used to call the tenno devils, Kaz might have truly become a devil by now, and she couldn't care less about it.
