Multitasking

[Ao3 Mirror] Pairing: Megatron/Reader/Soundwave Rating: E WC: 600 Contents: Gender/Sex neutral Reader. kinda dubcon voyeurism, but it's Soundwave so like, what do you expect? === Written for Day 1 of @tf-kinktober2024 but I'm bad at posting things on time lol ===

There were few luxuries Soundwave afforded himself, few that would interfere with his near single minded focus. It was fortuitous, then, that his aptitude for surveillance dovetailed so neatly with his desire for you.

The other members of High Command were perfectly pleased to turn their attention away from their actual duties and to instead busy themselves with their little organic distraction. Not that this was your fault, you are simply so small and delicate and soft in their collective servos. For the record, Soundwave did enjoy when his workload lightened enough for him to be able to be the one cradling you in his spindly digits, even if it was not fundamental to his own satisfaction. Still, Soundwave does resent his fellow officers' inefficiencies, because unlike them, Soundwave can multitask.

With just over half his processor focused on the sifting of actual surveillance data from his Earth-based network, the other almost-half sorts through cameras aboard the Nemesis itself. He calculates the likelihoods on where he'll find you- his schedule dictates you should be awake with your diurnal sleep cycle and when he cross references that with which officers are off duty... It doesn’t take him long. Well below his estimated time in fact to find what he’s looking for. The habsuite is familiar- even from the elevated, unnatural angle of the camera’s lens- and it is occupied.

Soundwave is almost surprised; Megatron is well known among the crew to have no compunction on enjoying his pets anywhere he likes. In his own berth is practically mundane in comparison. But there he is, lounged back against one wall, half-turned with his legs spread. One servo lazily strokes his own spike, his warframe claws drawing thin lines up and down the underside, while his other holds... you.

Soundwave’s fans click on.

So tiny in his liege's palm, Soundwave has to zoom in on the feed, enlarging the image until it’s nearly entirely Megatron’s unpainted plating and the shining sweat on your skin. Soundwave watches you, focuses on how your limbs twitch and twist as Megatron’s glossa glides against your body. You're close, Soundwave can tell from the tremors in your legs, the rise and fall of your torso, how your mouth opens in silent cries. Megatron slows, changes his angle before you can overload. And in the tight frame of the camera, the corner of Megatron’s intake quirks upwards, revealing a few more of his sharpened dentae.

Was he so pleased with your vocalizations, with having denied you? Soundwave zooms out a touch, to capture all of his lord’s faceplate and-

Red optics meet his through the screen, white arpetures burning directly into the camera. His dermals still curled into as much of a smug grin as they can while also licking incessantly between your legs. If you even notice his distraction, you don’t seem to show it, tiny servos clutching at Megatron’s plates in fervid desperation.

::How is the angle, Soundwave?:: To the untrained optic, Soundwave knows his reaction to Megatron's com is nearly imperceptible. Still, Soundwave adjusts his posture, self-aware in the way only Megatron can make him feel.

Now, Soundwave understands that Megatron's unusual position- half turned, legs spread to frame his spike- was intentional. By way of response, Soundwave sends him the feed.

He watches as steam rises from Megatron’s vents, the servo on his spike squeezing at the base, his optics darkening as he watches himself. You, in his palm, have latched your tiny hands onto his digits, body rolling into each teasing lick.

::Join us.:: He orders after a moment. ::And send me the full file after.::

Desperate PC Tenno calling for help!

Calling all the tech-savvy players here on Tumblr who may hopefully lend me and tech support a hand. Yes, the situation is that bad. More under the cut to spare a lengthy wall of text!

I've been experiencing totally random and sudden crashes with WF since a month and half, by now.

The game first freezes for less than a minute, then crashes to desktop bringing up the window to report crashes. This happens literally anywhere and anytime in the game. During mission, at the end of the mission, while idling in the Orbiter/base of operations, sitting in the pause menu, checking the settings menu. All kind of possible scenarios. Ah, and DX11 or DX12 make no difference either.

It's driving me - and tech support - insane. Because it is so HARD to pinpoint the root cause! Every log file so far has reported some kind of General Protection Failure (GPF) error followed by different numbers.

I'm running the game on a brand new, pre-built computer from Megaport. Which I moved to from my old potato of a PC back in late November. Specs are the following: Windows 11 Home (build 24H2) Intel Core I7-12700KF, 8x 3.60 Ghz + 4x 2.70 Ghz ASUS Prime Z790-A Wifi DDR5 NVidia GeForce RTX 4070 Dual Palit 12GB 2x 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5-6000 1 TB SSD 1000 Watt PSU

I have done everything tech support has suggested me to do and: - Uninstalled and re-installed the game, - Update drivers. Being a new computer, everything is pretty much up to date. I had to do a clean install for the GPU drivers only using DDU, though, - Verified game files, - Emptied the shader cache on the drive game is saved to, - Repaired Steam library, - Lowered graphic settings, - Attempted to launch and run Warframe in Clean Boot mode to exclude background programs/services <- unsuccessfully; Steam didn't work at all (which I kind of figured would happen) and trying to launch the game straight from the launcher...triggered a download of the game files in the App Data folder on main (C) drive. O_o The random crashes don't even appear in the Windows Event Viewer. Nowhere to be found. And believe me, I have looked into every single category. I've been keeping track of the time(s) of the crashes but, alas, found nothing that could possibly be related to those. (also, I'm not a computer expert so perhaps I'm doing things wrong)

So far, the only weird thing I've noticed is...Most of the times there seemingly is a "break" in between each series of crashes. A few days at worst, 10-12 days at best. Yes, I checked even the Task Scheduler utility on Windows. Found no program/app that runs automatically that matches with the timing/days when the crashes have occurred so far.

Really losing my mind to this. It's frustrating, it's unnerving, it's making me genuinely terrified of playing the game. And the reason I got this PC in the first place was being finally able to play my favorite game without worrying about being unable to because of my old (and obsolete) machine! Because I don't know when the next crash shall decide to happen and oh boy it's gonna be so fun losing progress. Or having a couple of players reasonably angry at me for suddenly poofing as host. I'm really sorry about that, folks.

I'm already considering the option of total formatting this computer, should there be no other way. But not before entirely giving up. And maybe make things a little less complicated for tech support team.

I can't thank these guys enough for their help and most importantly patience over the past month and half. This mess has been handed to three different people already and a solution hasn't been found yet.

So, if there are fellow Tenno on Tumblr who have either experienced something like this before and found a fix or are just more knowledgeable about computers and whatnot, your help would be GREATLY appreciated. ;.;

EDIT: I forgot to mention a few important things! - Hardware temperatures are within optimal range while in game (CPU never above 65°C, GPU has been running ice cold and has rarely exceeded 50°C so far, RAM is chilling at 45°C average). - GPU memory usage averages around at max (peak) 77% on HWInfo. - CPU usage I honestly need to check! D: - Ran disk cleanup, scans with sfc, chkdsk and DISM (all through command prompts ran as admin) and no issues were found. - Checked RAM health as well with Windows' memory diagnostic tool. However, it seems to give many false positives even on perfectly functional RAM banks. Looking for a more reliable alternative. - Warframe is the only game that keeps crashing on this PC. I haven't been getting any with other games/programs (Hades II; need to test how Ultrakill performs) or any warning signs (BSODs, freezes, sluggish PC, etc) that could suggest hardware failure.

Oh👀?

May i ask, what is it?

YOU MAY!!! :D thank you for enabling me lmao

TFA Cybertron, probably. At a very fancy schmancy, high profile law office. A terrifying collection of some of the best lawyers on the planet

One, we'll call him uuuuh Rulebook (idk ok??), usually takes clientele from the Towers, in high places in the government, aristocrats and wealthy pop stars and the like. Has a 98% case success rate and is considered to be among the best in the business. One day receives a physical data chip in the mail, quite antiquated technology as pretty much everything is transferred digitally these days. It's a very polite letter from someone that lives in the commonwealth, saying they want to make an appointment to consult with him. They've included the consultation fee already, as well as their address and social ID number. Considering they've already sent the money, he pens a response with his work comm and availability times. The call never comes tho, nor does his secretary mention them again, so he figures they must have found accommodations elsewhere.

Not the case. Another dataslug arrives several decacycles later, and jeez they must really be out in the boonies if they dont have longterm comms that can reach Cybertron. Even that stranded mecha on that organic planet had been able to get a signal through!

Long story short, after exchanging a couple more letters they have a set date for an in person consultation. His new client is very adamant to not share any details til they're face to face. Must be something serious

Day of the appointment, the law office gets a very unexpected guest bright and early. No sooner has the clock shifted to 08:00 do the doors slide back to reveal a wall of solid, eerily unpainted metal: the mech outside has to partially transform and compact his limbs into his chassis, then lower his helm to be able to squeeze through the door. At the desk, the first receptionist squeaks and drops her stylus pen. Second one fumbles a stack of datapads and sends them all flying with a loud clatter as a massive warframe very, very carefully makes his way inside.

He starts to un-crunch and his helm brushes the ceiling, causing him to wince and duck. "...pardon me," he awkwardly shuffles toward the front desk, where the pair working there are frozen in fear, staring up at him like cornered glitchmice optics wide and trembling. "Um. Morning, ma'm, sir. I've, uh, got an appointment with a Mr. Rulebook?"

The femme makes a strangled noise and reels back in her chair when he looks at her, slowly reaching for the hidden panic button under the desk. All high profile autobot facilities are equipped with them, in case of decepticon sightings. She's never seen one in person but he has to be one: he's a hulking giant with treads and red optics. "An-" her voice is shrill with panic. "An a- ap-!"

The warframe nods. "Yes ma'm, at 8 sharp," he shifts his weight and the floor creaks. "He said I should check in with you first."

The two employees share a horrified glance. Surely not...? They knew that one of the appointments today was a foreigner, but this!

They shakily ask his name, and he gives it. It matches. They go through the quick identification process, but it all comes back clean. For all intents and purposes, this is one of the head honcho's clients. They can't call the Enforcers on a client, can they?

After a not-so-quick squeeze into the elevator, warframe is escorted to the top floor where the offices are. He has to shuffle sideways through the hallway, but Rulebook's office has high ceilings and a grand view so he can actually stand up.

The lawyer is, obviously, shocked, but maintains a poker face. Asks his guest to have a seat, and tell him what he wants to accomplish.

"I want to sue the elite guard."

"I'm sorry, what?"

"Yes. I wanna sue them for cybertronian trafficking. I have proof."

And what is the proof, you ask? Recently recovered and repolished memory files that were brought to the surface after the standard issue 100 million year processor checks. Officially, it's a test all of the elderly have to take when they hit their 100 millionth birthday, to catch early signs of processor rust, decay, or dementia. It's supposed to help the elderly maintain a high quality of life. Unofficially, it probably had some sinister alternate purpose asp, but. Nyeh

Warframe explains that he just had his big 8-digit birthday ("Oh, my congratulations. You don't look a cycle over 85.") and while having his processor revamped, refreshed, flushed, polished, and preened, a lot of old memories were revitalized and re-registered with intense, startling clarity.

"I knew their symbol looked familiar, I knew it did, but I couldn't ever put my finger on where I'd seen it before until I had my refresh checks."

He's a foreigner from an extremely far off planet, once a mining colony some odd 80 mya, but when it didn't produce nearly as much as they hoped, the site was abandoned, leaving a couple hundred slaves stranded and forgotten about. A ship was meant to come collect them, but just... never did. Over time, they started to make a life for themselves there, and now thanks to their efforts it's now a thriving, simple little colony.

But a lot can happen in 80 million years. Many of the warframes built houses and fell in love and got married and had families, lots of healthy little sparklings running around. It wasnt uncommon for said sparklings to be snatched up and sold, taken away to Cybertron or other extremely wealthy planets in the empire. Sparkling and youngling poaching was such a problem that to this day, it's not uncommon to find old houses with trick cupboards, hidden rooms, and basements with escape tunnels, anywhere a child could be hidden if their homwtown was subject to raids.

"One of our babies was taken," he admits, looking ashamed and sparkbroken, tears brimming in his optics. "He had just learned to walk, he was out in the fields with his brothers and sister, and then..." it happened so fast, suddenly they were just there, hordes of identical mecha raining from the sky with cages and prods and chains, everything erupting into chaos as desperate parents dove to save their sparklings. His toddler had been left behind as his siblings scattered in terror, and though his sire had run as fast as he could after him, he was too late to stop them from grabbing their baby and throwing him into a cage--with a now very familiar symbol emblazoned on the front.

"It was so fast, I didn’t realize. We don't really get public broadcasting out west where we live, and whenever we do we usually just use it for music. But I saw one of that... Sentinel mech's broadcasts, and he was wearing the very same symbol."

He projects a still image from his optic, a freeze frame from the moment their son was taken away. The sparkling looks terrified, falling back against the bars, and sure enough, the autobot symbol with it's proud wings behind it, clear as day. "See?" His voice is choked with sorrow, and he sniffles once. "They took our little boy... and we want him back!"

...

And there's the first chunk of development haha. It wasn't obvious from... everything I do lmao, the kidnapped baby warframe they're looking for is Megatron 🤭

Suddenly remembering that Tekla fuckin loves spreadsheets and data management and whatnot

Now, warframes are about as close to tech as a pile of depressed meat can get, and they were made to be able to interface with the orokin and tenno technology they're surrounded by (or the technology surrounding them was made to interface with them, in a lot of cases). This includes a lot of things like getting diagnostics on their own state and hacking things like they're in a movie, but it also includes just regular old interfacing with file systems and future-emails and whatnot without needing a physical console and UI

So Tekla could very much do their data management by plugging into the relevant console and just sitting there like a sad USB stick in a cloak

They also don't actually do that, bc they don't Enjoy it

They do their computer stuff entirely in the Normal Human Way, with a screen and keyboard and everything, bc they find it so much more comfortable and engaging like that. It technically makes them weird which is wholly in character for them but also everyone is nice enough about it that it no longer makes them anxious

Adaptation

masterpost

---

After the last hectic few weeks, things had finally died down a little bit again. Kelth had reached out to Kali to gauge interest about their idea for relics. It had seemed enthusiastic and had agreed to split the results fifty-fifty, so now they were paying extra attention on missions, to find more of the rocks to build up a first batch for it to pick up.

Missions which were sadly just paid contracts from various allied factions, and not to recover Ordis’ drives. After Vince, their resource stores and credit wallet had been painfully depleted - not that they were about to tell him that. He seemed to have enough on his mind already, which he did try to hide during their morning sit-downs with him to figure out his abilities, but it seemed that the pace at which he initially picked transference up didn’t extend to actually mastering it yet.

It helped that Vince had a lot to distract him, and Kelth along with him. His abilities seemed to be very maths-heavy, requiring a lot of split-second precision calculations, which he was doing almost subconsciously. When they asked him what all the numbers flying by in his head meant, he had sat down with them that evening for what had turned into a several-hours-long interdimensional maths masterclass, and to their surprise, it had actually made sense. Vince had seemed to enjoy teaching, and had complimented them on what he’d assumed to be a background in this field - which had confused them.

Did Kelth have a background in this? They didn’t know - they still didn’t remember much of anything from before they had woken up to Grineer soldiers stabbing a device into Sufford’s thigh, and beyond that only had the recurring nightmare of running down endless broken-down ship hallways. But - if they remembered this correctly - Ordis had felt familiar on that first horrible day. They’d known him before. They could ask him.

It was too bad that their life was a busy one now, with a spaceship, two warframes and their own human self to look after - so they only remembered it once Sufford and Vince were out. The two warframes had gone to a nearby relay’s shooting range for target practice, and Kelth had been left alone on board, and had decided to organise their brain on what resources they were missing with Ordis, when the idea came back to them.

“-we might have to find another Grineer base, then, see if they have- ohh, wait.”

“Hm? What is it?” Ordis asked when they took a little too long trying to formulate their thoughts.

“I had a question I’d wanted to ask you,” they started, stalling while trying to remember it, “it was something I thought of when- Oh!” There it was. “Do you remember anything from before all this? Before all the endless fighting? Because I don’t.”

Ordis’ table hologram flickered as he hummed. “Hmm. I can’t remember any specifics, no. The data I have on the Old War came from historical databanks. Ordis doesn’t even remember how he ended up on Earth on the day you awoke - I was brought back the same moment you were, it seems.”

“Oh,” Kelth said, a little disappointed. “I thought- I guess I’m just curious about what I did before all this. I can’t have been an operator forever, right? There’s got to be something from before. How did I even end up on Lua, for example?”

“Hmm… Oh, Ordis does have some files that weren’t authored by the Orokin in his database. But- I can’t fucking look at them- ahem, they are inaccessible to me. Maybe you created them? They might be a journal of some sort that you kept?”

Kelth blinked up at the hologram. It was weird that he had files he couldn’t access, so this might be a lead for his own glitch-related problems, on top of their own history. “Huh? I don’t remember ever keeping a journal, but that doesn’t mean much - can you send their location to my datapad?”

“Sent. Did you-”

“Got it,” they said, connecting to his local filesystem instead of the pad’s own. There were indeed some files in the folder he’d pointed them at with non-standard names - w1, w2, and so on. The file extension wasn’t like other text files, but looked familiar, too, though they couldn’t immediately place it. They opened the file called w1.

It contained text, but not to read - it was formatted weirdly but consistently, and a lot of it was symbol soup.

“Oh, this is program code,” they realised after a second of confused staring. And then looked back at the filenames. “Wait, is this old homework? There’s one per week.”

“Oh, that’s interesting,” Ordis said, sounding intrigued. “Can you make sense of the contents?”

Kelth scanned through the blocks of words and symbols, and - “I think so? I’d need to read them more thoroughly, but I think there’s- what were they called, comments? There’s lots of them in here, but I feel like I’m missing something. They’re not as easy to find as they should be?”

“Okay,” Ordis said. “Do you- wait, how are you looking at the files?”

“Uh-” Kelth said, confused, glancing up at Ordis’ hologram. “At the, uh. Datapad?”

“No, no- The program you’re using to look at them. What is it?”

“Oh, just the basic text editor?”

“Hm,” Ordis said. The screen of the datapad flickered between tabs rapidly for a moment. Then, an installation wizard appeared, and Ordis ran through the settings even faster. Finally, they were looking at a progress bar, filling up slowly with irregular intervals. “There, try opening the files in that program, once it’s done installing,” he said.

“Oh, sure, thanks- I’d forgotten those existed, what were they called?”

“Integrated development environments, or IDEs,” Ordis said. “Are your memories coming back?”

“It feels more like they’re being dragged back forcefully, but yes, very slowly, at least for this stuff,” Kelth said, feeling giddy. The progress bar filled up and the wizard closed itself. The icons of the code files had changed to the icon of the new IDE, so they opened them again with confidence.

And they did load into a much fancier text editor this time - with a dark background, several bars of options at the top and a file viewer on the side, and parts of the actual code in different colours. And suddenly, it clicked.

Kelth sucked in a breath as their eyes flew over the lines, identifying the relevant parts of comments and function and variables names and logic, putting the functionality together in their head-

“I take it the IDE is doing its job?” Ordis asked, amused, when they forgot to say anything again. They snorted.

“Yeah,” they said, “it’s all making a lot more sense now. I think I’ll just keep reading through this for now, actually, see if anything else comes back.”

“Do let me know if there’s something Ordis could help to figure out,” he said. “Or when you want to try actually running the code to see what it does.”

Kelth turned to his hologram, with a performance of puppy eyes they privately thought must’ve been their best one yet. The hologram shook as Ordis laughed.

A pointer in the form of a cracked blue cube appeared on their screen, pointing at a green triangle icon in one of the top bars of the IDE. “You can press this one to compile and run,” he said, before moving the cursor elsewhere. “And if you press this one-”

—

A while later, their head hurting just a little bit from all the newly-remembered information, they turned off the datapad and sat back with a great big sigh.

“That’s going to be a lot of work, but it’s interesting, and I think it can be useful,” they said, happy-tired.

“And you’ve done it once before already, or at least the start of it,” Ordis added. “And it can certainly be useful! You could write algorithms for things, I-O-Ordis can’t.”

“You can’t?” they repeated, confused. “Wait, yeah, you mentioned that - why do you not have access to your own files?”

“Ordis is afraid that- Ordis has no fucking clue- there’s a barrier of some kind, there.”

Kelth stared at the hologram - when Ordis glitched, it briefly jittered out of focus. They were quiet just a little too long, because he let out a bitter laugh.

“Maybe you could learn to fix that, and this glitch while you’re at it,” he said, tone self-deprecating, sounding like he had been aiming for joking but had missed completely.

“That sounds- not impossible, actually,” Kelth said, careful. “I can at least take a look, right?”

Ordis was quiet for a beat, before he tried to speak three thoughts at once. “I- Ordis hadn’t- that was just a joke, you don’t-”

“No, hey, once I get a bit better at this, I can absolutely take a look for you,” they said, now a little more firm, a little more concerned. Ordis might not feel like he was worth the effort, but he was to them.

He sighed deeply. “Ordis is- really not sure how he feels about the idea, especially while you’re already still working on the memory drives. Let’s just forget about this one for now?”

He intoned the last bit like a question. “Sure,” Kelth said, absolutely not intending to forget about it for any stretch of time. But before they could address it any more, he moved on.

The hologram flickered bright once, as Ordis made a sound like he’d just inhaled sharply. “In the meanwhile, for practice, I just had an idea,” he said, sounding excited and giddy. It felt a little like whiplash, but they were willing to roll with it.

“Yeah?” they asked, allowing themself to be affected by his enthusiasm, smiling again.

“Ordis has found an open-source repository of void fissure data,” he said, taking control of the datapad in their hands again to open a sleek-looking website. “Maybe you could do something with this? Combine it, process it in some way, and-”

“Predict the locations of future ones,” Kelth breathed, eyes wide. “Oh, that’s a fantastic idea - what format is the data in, could we use any of it?”

“It’s raw data with the location, timestamp and intensity, but from some preliminary analyses I ran on it, it looks pretty chaotic, and Ordis couldn’t immediately find a pattern in it.”

“Oh, you could try to ask Vince? He’s good with maths - you guys can try to find a pattern to it while I figure out how this whole code thing works again?” Kelth proposed.

“Oh, I had not considered- a fantastic idea!”

They were interrupted by the sound of the Liset docking again - had it already been so long? Time had flown by.

“Awesome, you can go get a start on that while I go see if Sufford’s up for another drive run?” they asked, already putting the datapad down on the table and grabbing for their cane to get up. “I need to look at something other than code for a few hours, give my eyes a rest.”

“Sure, I just- oh, he likes the idea,” Ordis said, as the doors to the lounge opened and Vince all but stormed in, clearly on his way to his room already, briefly startled by them and Ordis’ hologram just sitting there. He nodded towards them in greeting, but did not let this slow him down, and he was already down the hallway by the time Sufford even poked his head into the still-open door. Kelth snorted, thoroughly amused.

“Looks like you’ve got yourself a maths buddy now, Ordis,” they said, grinning wide, before waving at Sufford. “Hey Sufford, are you up to go shoot at some real moving targets?”

He jerked his head back a little as if to scoff, before tilting it and giving them an exaggerated thumbs-up. He then immediately disappeared back the way he’d come - presumably heading towards the arsenal, to pick up his skana. Kelth got up, then, taking a minute to stretch out their legs before they went to sit down for what was probably going to be another few hours.

Ordis’ hologram was still up, even though he was probably already distracted coming up with mathematical nonsense with Vince, so Kelth wished him good luck, and made their way towards the somatic link.

The whole ship at work, at once - it felt good, like they were all a team. And for all intents and purposes, Kelth was at the head of it - giving the orders if not also coming up with them in the first place.

Giddy, they lowered themself down into the seat, closing their eyes as the cover sank down over them, connecting to Sufford - he was already in the Liset, setting the nav console to go back to the planet where they’d last left off with the drives. On their signal, he started the flight.

—

The first batch of relics was handed over to Kali before any kind of fissure-finding algorithm was ready, so they simply didn’t mention it. Biting their tongue was hard, especially when Kali reported in only sporadically with when it had managed to find a fissure area and crack some of the relics open.

It only took a few days’ worth of downtime for them to get through all of their old homework files - there was disappointingly little of it on board - and go looking online for courses. But following a course was boring when they had the prospect of writing something actually useful, so they dropped that relatively quickly, in favour of messing around and trying to put together the framework for the fissure-finder instead.

And that did seem to work - while Ordis and Vince narrowed down the formula for the fissures’ appearances, Kelth cobbled together a functional finder algorithm. When they ran it on the available historical data, it worked. And when they’d handed it to Kali, to run in predictive mode, it still worked.

Compared to the week that the first batch had taken to crack, now Kali could do a dozen in a few hours. The Orokin trinkets that Kelth received from it sold for good money. Another worry off the list.

Since their skills had progressed to a passable level, Kelth tried bringing up the barrier between Ordis and the code of the ship again. He had however tried to nervously laugh it off, which Kelth had not entertained whatsoever - even though they ended up making a compromise: to only start looking into it after they’d found all of his drives. Which, fine, after another week they were starting to find less and less, with more and more gaps in the serials having gotten filled in, so they were getting close to finishing that, anyway - but still.

It was that moment that Ordis chose to inform them of the fact that not all the parts they’d received from Kali from the relic deal had made it to getting sold - they were disappearing.

An audio file will ping across Rung's data pad. Its labelled Lullaby's for a Restless Spark: the singer is not perfect. Though they do their best. It's the harmonies, a warframe mech with the depth of the subglpyhs, that throb like notes caught against metal arches. Like more than one voice lifted in soft resonating reverence. An old lullaby, from the time of Primalist Worship. One to banish bad dreams and bring restless bits to sleep. Its ended with a little note, written in a slanted script. ' I think the little one will be as warm as their carrier, no matter their shape. '

“I… know this song,” Rung realizes, servo lingering on the datapad as it plays the music file. “How do I— where do I know this from?”

The singer may not be perfect, but the emotion and intent is what counts and it comes through so clearly that Rung has to take his oculars off, swiping at his optics to try and clear the sudden welling tears away.

He hasn’t heard anyone sing in Primal Vernacular since…

what a treasure this is.

His spark pulses, helm heavy and biolights paling to a rosy gold.

Where has he heard this before…?

How much overhead does player data storage cost long term online service games? Particularly free to play games, like Warframe or Fortnite, or very mature MMOs like WoW. They keep each player's data seemingly indefinitely, and given how many players will try the game for a day and drop it that seems like it could quickly become a pretty large problem. Is that a large concern for a studio, or am I overestimating the files sizes here?

You’re overestimating file sizes. For games like WoW, Warframe, Fortnite, etc. the database stores rows of information for players accounts and characters. The system has two separate repositories for data. One side holds all of the generic data for the game (e.g. the Sword of a Thousand Truths deals 3000 damage per second, has a swing speed of 2.00, and adds +250 to Mastery and +300 to Stamina), and the other side holds all of YOUR data for the game (your level, your earned XP, your equipment, your class, your talent build, etc.).

When you find the legendary Sword of a Thousand Truths in game and equip it, we don’t have to store the individual item data in the database because it’s in the game files already. This Sword of a Thousand Truths is the exact same as that other Sword of a Thousand Truths. They’re all cloned from one data prototype that defines all of its stats, the way it looks, and so on. Instead, we store that your character now has item ID 482684538 equipped in her right hand slot. When you log out, all that is (probably) written to the database regarding the Sword is a row with your account ID, character ID, and the item IDs of items equipped in row-specific slots. If you change your weapon, the database is updated with a new item ID in that slot. When you log in with a character, the game server gets the equipped item IDs from the database and then looks up the relevant item information in the game files. This is how we assemble your character when you log in.

This means that I have one prototype of the item information in the game files and I only really need to store a number for the item ID in the database for each player that has one. This makes the total size of a player’s account pretty small in the grand scheme of things - a couple of kilobytes of numerical data spread across  a bunch of cross-referenced database rows. With those data, we can reconstruct the player’s entire account and characters. Storing such a small amount of data on the off chance that a player returns and feels welcome is a generally worthwhile tradeoff.

Tell me about Cephalon Coomer

REV THANK YOU FOR ENABLING ME I LOVE YOU

i like to imagine that in life, wf-verse coomer was like. some important orokin-era researcher. it’s likely that he was cephalon’ed in order to archive his research data for later use without having to bother with continuity, because the orokin are selfish dickheads. as time went on, though, he started to act a little... off. he started to get more and more contrary, seemingly going out of his way to make life difficult for whoever tried to use him to get any work done. eventually it reached the point where they just decided to call it a loss and reprogram him as a tenno ship cephalon, after which he was assigned to gordon! 

unfortunately, he went through a lot of the same stuff ordis did :( being abandoned for so long while waiting for his tenno to wake back up got boring, and eventually, he started digging through his own code, and recovered some archived orokin-era files, including his old memories. once he realized he used to be human, it kinda scrambled his code, and he was always a little buggy, getting stuck on certain words and phrases over and over, and occasionally breaking into entirely different tones of voice at odd moments. 

at one point or another he DOES snap and tries to kill gordon a little bit because he misses being a person and wants a body again. weve all been there! thankfully the gang talks him down, and they come up with the idea to wire him into a spare warframe so he can join the rest of the science team in their misadventures. originally i was gonna go with atlas on this one, BUUUUT baruuk could also work? anyone who punches a lot, really. 

i cant think of a lore workaround for it but i like to think he’d have some sort of method to project his old human appearance either ovre the warframe or at the very least in his comms panel... maybe they were all able to fudge something together with recycled tau tech? honestly the shit that happens in this game barely makes any sense, idk why i bother applying logic. BUT! i Must. otherwise i will Die. 

its very late so as much as i want to continue im gona haveto leave this one here. my final proclamation is that he and bubby are in love :) thanx for reading love u

All These Changes and I Still Dislike Arbitrations

All These Changes and I Still Dislike Arbitrations

The concept of Arbitrations was originally really bloody cool. Enemies that are much tougher than normal, longer missions and better rewards, but you only have one life and if you die, it’s game over, you’d be unable to continue and you wouldn’t be able to try again. This was end-game level content, somewhere where veteran Warframe players could stretch their legs and use all their OP builds.

But…

seas who could sing so deep and strong [164]

Judge rubs his eyes, the faint pink light of the somachord player in the center of his living quarters still visible on the back of his eyelids. It’s better than the blue light of a screen, or so he’s told. The small dancing Octavia continues to shimmy and bop to the low music that he’d turned down a few hours ago. He stretches his arms over his head, feeling a pop along his back and several sharp cracks as he rotates his neck and stretches his fingers.

He glances over his shoulder towards his bed. Kore’s underneath the covers, but he can barely see her aside from her bare pale arm thrown over Midas’ huge barrel chest. The kubrow really shouldn’t be on the bed, but at some point between Judge having Scylla turn the lights and music low and now the huge kubrow had left his own bed and gotten onto Judge’s. Frankly, Judge doesn’t have the heart to wake him up and send him off, either.

The dog’s legs twitch in his sleep, tongue lolling out of his mouth as he drools all over Judge’s bed, snuffling at some imaginary target or toy. Midas still sleeps like he’s a little puppy, legs going about and chasing things, tail wiggling, ears twitching, letting out little snores and snuffles and the occasional bark. That dog will never stop being a puppy, no matter how big he gets. And he is getting pretty big.

There probably isn’t much room left on that bed for him. Between Kore and the giant dog.

Judge leans his cheek on his palm, watching his dog and looking at the thin line of Kore’s arm cutting across his dog’s fur, moving ever so slightly every time Midas breathes. Everything is bathed light pink.

It’s just Judge’s thoughts and the sound of Midas snoring, the faint hum of the ship recycling air and the engines keeping them in orbit around Ceres. It’s not the worst company he’s found himself in. Himself and his thoughts. At least his thoughts are a little kinder right now, tempered in that pink light. It would be nice if it was like this all the time.

Somewhere around the ship is Judge’s Umbra, but he makes himself scarce unless Judge needs him. And frankly, Judge doesn’t know what the warframe wants from him — Umbra probably doesn’t know what he wants either — so he lets him be. Umbra comes and goes, like a ghost, on this ship. Like Judge’s ghosts, his hallucinations, but better. Still dangerous. Still a little frightening. But…better. He wonders if Umbra doesn’t like Kore. Kore’s own Umbra seems different than Judge’s, for all that they’re exact clones of the original man. Right down to the memories and the heartache.

Well. No. Not exactly. Kore and her Umbra have some kind of connection — something that passed between them during those heated moments of frantic hunting and chasing that led to the climactic scene underneath the moon with the Lotus, Natah. And whatever bond that is, it’s made that Umbra into a different one than Judge’s silent ghost. Kore’s Umbra goes freely on her ship, unless another tenno that isn’t Kore or Judge is present (rarely, Judge thinks). He’s seen the warframe going through Kore’s data files and her things. He’s seen the warframe examining other warframes that for the most part remain still and docile under the attention. He’s seen Kore’s Umbra practicing by himself in Kore’s transference chamber with her arsenal of weapons. He’s also seen Umbra sitting at Kore’s feet while she’s in transference, watching her.

Judge would say theres some kind of love between them. A love made out of hate and hurt, but he isn’t sure. Because he’s seen Kore and Umbra face each other like they want nothing more in the world than to throw fists but he also knows that Umbra has gently brushed hair out of Kore’s eyes and Kore let him. Whatever it is, it’s complicated, and far removed from what Judge has with his own warframe.

Judge hasn’t asked her about it. Kore barely talks about her own problems, he doubts she’d be willing to talk about her warframe’s problems. And Kore doesn’t bring her Umbra along on most missions. He thinks that she only uses him when she’s alone. Rarely with Judge.

Judge has yet to bring his Umbra along on any missions. Alone or with Kore. He’s not sure if he wants to.

He blinks out of his thoughts when he sees movement, Kore’s lifted her head up, barely visible over Midas’ huge shoulder.

“Awake?” She grumbles, one eye half open, the other still closed, short hair tousled and flattened on one side. She looks confused, like there’s a question mark over her head. It’s cute. Someday he might even tell her that when she’s awake and coherent. Kore might even let him. “Ugh.”

“Sorry,” Judge says quietly, smiling. “Go back to sleep.”

She blinks slowly, wrinkling her nose as she squints at him.

“You?”

“No room for me on there.”

Kore’s gaze slowly slides to Midas. He can visibly see her brain slowly start to work the situation out. Kore’s in the bed and so is the giant dog. The bed is not big enough for Kore, the giant dog, and Judge. Either Kore goes or the giant dog goes if Judge gets on.

“Sucks,” Kore decides, and flops back down. Judge muffles his laugh.

“Do you like my bed?” Judge asks.

“Stinky,” Kore’s voice is muffled. “Smells like dog drool. And you. Yuck.”

She doesn’t move though. Or say she doesn’t like it. So Judge counts it as a semi-positive.

“I’ll have my bed washed,” Judge promises.

“No,” Kore mumbles. “Comfy.”

“But stinky?”

“Super stinky,” Kore confirms, yawning as she cuddles Midas, drifting back to sleep within moments. Judge grins, standing up to stretch his back and legs. He’ll walk around some, maybe he’ll find Umbra. Maybe he won’t. As he passes he gently pats Kore’s foot.

“I’ll be back,” He says to the sleeping room.

Eventually Higgins grows tired of not having a past. All the other frames remember their past lives, and by the time he arrives Ordis has remembered his too, and North may have forgotten a lot but didn't lose all of it, didn't start over as a blank slate

So Higgins grows tired and despite his hate for Deimos begins digging for his past. It's an excursion he makes without North, bc North is not a fan of the whole idea and Higgins can tell no matter how hard they try to hide it (and the reasons for their dislike of this i'll lay out in another post properly), so Higgins doesn't tell them where he's going, doesn't contact the Entrati either, just recruits Lanius and Keiko for potential help and leaves for the Cambion Drift

It's a whole lot of wandering around and tearing open Isolation Vaults and listening to Lanius infodump about infested evolution when nothing interesting is happening. Some of the data recovered ends up as the foundation of the group's archives on the warframe project that's expanded by a Lot when they find Kodiak later on. Lanius is conflicted about whether to share the found data with the Entrati or to inform them about their operations at all bc they don't much like the Entrati. Higgins on the other hand fuckin hates them so he enables Lanius into keeping all of it a secret. Keiko greatly approves

Logically Higgins is v aware that they might not find anything but he also refuses to accept this as a possibility

And eventually they do find files that seem to be it. At least, the project details check out. The physical description, the theming, the envisioned combat capabilities. The images, more concept art to sell a project than blueprints, look almost exactly like Higgins, even if it feels uncanny for him to see himself pictured as whole

Except the human subject used for this alleged warframe is listed as a woman. It takes a lot of disbelief and a lot more digging to feel convinced that yes, this is the project that had created Higgins. And the gender marker is consistent across dozens of documents. Unlikely to have been a typo

There's a lot of other things that Higgins' mind catches on ofc. It's not easy like he had thought, not even all that satisfying, to be handed just the fraction, just a clinical description of an entire human life with the knowledge that it had been his. It doesn't feel like his. This is a stranger. The files rattle off credentials and employment details and horrific injuries, but none of them tell him what this person's favourite colour was or if they liked kavats or how late they'd stay up on the weekends

But the gender thing is one of the ones that sticks with him the worst. The moment he had started being a person, the moment he had to at all decide on gender, even without conscious thought to it he knew he was a guy with full certainty. He considered other options afterwards bc he's not just gonna half ass becoming a person, but turned up with his first instinct being very right and very comfortable

And now there's files proving to him that he had been wrong. That he has been lying to everyone all this time, bc here's everything about how he was created and it all tells of a woman who was turned into a warframe

He doesn't know what to do about this

Logic and decency demands he should swap to using the "correct" gender now, surely, but everything in him recoils at the thought. But he feels like he's lying. To himself and to everyone he's ever met. He has written proof now that his comfort zone is blatantly incorrect

He keeps this to himself for a while. Not just the gender thing, all of it. It's troubling him in a million different ways, it doesn't feel good and correct like he thought it would to read about who he used to be, and it didn't change the fact that he doesn't remember anything of his old life. His human self is a stranger and that's not something that should be allowed to happen, in his mind

Ofc North can tell that something is wrong and is Worried, but Higgins is stubbornly hiding it from them as best he can bc he doesn't wanna be perceived about this and he doesn't know what to do but he Does know that North never wanted him to go digging and he did anyway and it just made everything worse

I'm not sure how things exactly get solved but it does involve a lot of comforting talks with Lanius about past lives and what you choose to keep from them and also about gender. And much later down the line they can joke about Higgins doing trans things in a very unique order

And eventually he makes peace with his past life being nothing more than a tragic stranger to who he is now

Warframe Mods – Best Mods & Where to Farm Them? | Warframe Today

💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥 Warframe School. I mean what you even need that for seriously? So logically we need a weapon with high status chance. Yes I am talking about Ignis Wraith that does total heat damage. Here you have it. Every frame needs Ability Strength bonus. But what we are looking for is a frame that uses abilities while shooting with our primary weapon. Ringing any bells? For me Ember would be the one smashing that bell. A full Ability Strength World on Fire build with this mod will dust any mob up to level But first things first, you need to do the Silver Grove quest. If you already have done it there should be a Nightfall Apothic blueprint in your inventory. Found it? Check the required components:. Excluding Morphics, every component mentioned is a plant which can only be obtained through scanning. To keep it short, they are plants that are located in maps, which need scanning to be obtained as items. So in order to find all the scan targets, you do need to visit some different planets and missions. Some nodes yield better results or are simply a better choice because of their mission types. Here are our favourites:. Look out for deposits of toxin pools, where they can be found in quantities of You can yield four to five per mission. This one is a bit tricky. Each lasts 4 hours and moonlight plants spawn only at night. Check online sites to see its cycle. It can spawn anywhere on map. You can yield three to five per mission. It spawns only during day time and same as with Dragonlily, you need to check the entire map around. You can yield nine to fifteen per mission. Last but not least, after crafting some Nightfall Apothic, we need to equip them as gears at the arsenal. Only a quantity of 2 Apothics can be carried as gears per mission. After done equipping we need to start looking for other players that have also crafted Apothics. For maximum profit, each player must have 2 Apothics equipped. Lotus will alert you if one is located close by. When finding it, players should go to the shrine and one by one use their Apothics, which then spawns a Knave specter. By following the guide above and finding a team with farm-related Warframes, you should have earned a total of unidentified items from killing specters and obtain zero to three Growing Powers per run. Well, to go through all these processes it requires a lot of specific things to make it worth farming if you are simply doing it to sell it later. It is not very time efficient for beginners, so rather focus on doing vault runs or get Anasas Ayatan Sculptures and Riven mods from sorties, sell those and then just buy a Growing Power. But if you ever get to the point in the game where you can farm the mod fast enough to make it worth your while, go ahead and do that — it will yield some nice Platinum!

Contract complete

SUMMARY

After running an exhaustive contract, Lucifer and Xev just want to take a break from waiting on filtered contracts with low pay. Xev, meanwhile, mulls over his feelings for the Chroma.

Usually, their rendezvous would end at the terminal.

Xev overlooks the relay’s cramped mercenary floorspace with a sigh, leaning up against a guardrail as he watches the troves of syndicate operatives bickering amongst themselves. Warframes weave through the crowd alongside the factionless marines looking for the next prospective contract work; easy to weed out from the ones in suited faction gear. A pantheon of operatives congested in a small space, the prime muses, the bustle deafening and almost muting the small scuffle that breaks out below him.

With a half-cant perspective, he can see the shimmering of spilt blood on a Red veil loyalist’s lips, a punch pulled from a Hexis follower spattered. It doesn’t enthrall him, looking back to the crowding of multi-toned suits and worn warframes. He disregards the mumbling he hears behind him, the gawking of his primed complexion and battle scars – he rarely steps on the relays for such reasons. He’s only here to wait on a certain chroma to deliver their payload.

Gilded chin in hand, the Excalibur prime eyes the towering chroma as he wades through the noisy plaza, impatiently elbowing his way through the crowd with a device carefully coddled against his puffed stature. His bright ivory and turquoise pelt stands out among the crowd of diluted tones, towering above the crowd, easy to distinguish amongst the visual noise in the cramped space. But his puffing feathers express his aggressive chill that surrounds him, casting the unwary aside half startled and intimidated, a presence that is difficult to ignore as well as daunting. By the standards of the syndicate operatives, the ones always intrigued by the warframes occupying their space, they stay far away.

The renegade mercenaries just stay out of his without a second glance.

Lucifer shoves his way past a bickering cluster of operatives on his way to a cephalon kiosk, pausing briefly as one of them shouts, an aggressive growl rumbling in his chest to disperse them. Left alone, he heaves the heavy data device into the small alcove in the wall and onto the reluctant shelf surface laid barren to time. It lands with a hollowing thunk that deviates the attention of those around him; a wandering operative’s head quickly turns until he identifies the source, hurriedly shunting themselves away from the agitated chroma.

In front of him, a cephalon flickers awake and illuminates the corner in a dampened aquatic hue.

“Here’s the device; take from the area designated. All data retrieved, unscratched,” the chroma growls; the payout they were offered was less than ideal for the difficulty. Nullifers and the looming presence of an active fissure was not something he’d consider as worth less than forty grand.

“Excellent,” the cephalon mumbles with disinterest, igniting a display of the data device’s contents in a hologram behind the recess’ surface. Text scrolls at an accelerated pace, data markers placed and erased in a blinding speed with the nuance only a connected cephalon can muster as they pry through the insurmountable information. All the chroma can see is a blurring illumination; releasing an exhale as he waits for the digital consciousness to just bring up their payment. Money to put forth towards the maintenance of his squadmate’s vessel; Lucifer doesn’t need much.

“Everything seems to be in order,” the cephalon dryly states, diminishing the display with contempt, just another analysis to run through. “As for the matter of payment, the contractor has put down twenty thousand credits.”

“Hold on,” Lucifer growls, leaning against the surface and staring down at the cephalon’s meager display, “the payout was supposed to be thirty-five grand. Where’s the rest?” He snaps, voice rumbling in his large chest. They could’ve just captured a couple people for interrogations for twenty, it would’ve taken much longer surely, but for the high security they went through for a measly twenty thousand?

The cephalon is quiet for a minute before surging back to life, “unfortunately, it seems that the client had miscalculated their assets… prior to your arrival they seem to have retracted their contract and the price drop may have been done to pay the array’s service fees and the refile fee instead of paying the array service fee separately.”

“That’s a load of bullshit, bitbrain, and you know it. It’s their fucking fault, not ours to just ‘deal’ with when they contracted us for forty thousand.” A claw taps at the surface concealing the cephalon’s hologram device, irritated.

“I am aware of that, but they withdrew before the payout was dispensed. I am unable to correct the error in this state, as you’ve already got the device and fulfills the contract… however.”

“What is it,” the chroma growls.

“Due to their negligence… when refilling the contract, they seem to have forgotten to include the delivery information they shown in their formal contract. In the active one, you would only be paid twenty-thousand credits for retrieval, without a designation of delivery.” The cephalon smarms, bringing up a display of the two contracts – one reading ‘NULL’ – more for Lucifer’s reference than the cephalon’s. “I can’t fulfill a contract that is invalid… and nor would the one that sent it would retrieve the device. Would you like to hold it for ransom at a higher amount? There are file paths that hint that it is well worth more than the initial offer. Would you prefer this venture to the lump sum payout.”

The chroma’s aura dulls, muscles once drawn relax, head tilted down towards the cephalon’s presence, “I assume that, due to their negligence, we are well within our right as the contractors, since the contract is fulfilled.”

“Correct; you’ve collected the device, you fulfilled the contract. It is yours to deal with, as you please.”

Lucifer pauses for a moment and stands to his full height, turning to look back to where Xev is watching from above. “Ransom it?” is all the chroma asks through their coms – the Excalibur nods. Turned back, Lucifer also nods. “Ransom it, I am assured you can get us – say – around 50 thousand?”

“From the filer? Doubt it – my coding obligates I am not able to refer to them outside their contract. There is encrypted files on here that may be worth well more than that… perhaps a few thousands if I can relocate the frequency of the vessel it originated.”

Xev chimes in through the chroma’s com links, “50 thousand is good, unless the cephalon wants to negotiate for a while. Let’s just drop it and get outta here.” Lucifer nods – he never was much of a fan of the crowded market.

“Just offer it back for 50 thousand, I’m certain they’ll pay up soon enough,” he rumbles. He does his best to drown out the ramble of the mercenaries around him, the shouts, the loud banter, the ominous background hum of the relay’s aged engine and systems. It’s too much noise, too much going on.

In front of him the cephalon chirps again to life. “They have problems with their communication system - “ they took out the grid during the raid for the device “ - and are more than willing to pay the ransom for the device back within the next few hours. We’ll have one of our stewards deliver the device in another location. Once it’s delivered,” they start, the device’s temporal existence diminishing down into a digital archive, in a vessel that can be shuttled through the cephalon weave to its delivery point. “you will receive the payment. The head cephalon will contact you when they have another contract that meets your partner’s criteria.” In an instance their display fizzles, leaving the chroma alone at the alcove.

There’s a heavy sigh from the chroma, a relief short-lived as his feathers puff up as the noises around him sink back into his mind, igniting his defensive chill. Voices run in a blur surrounding him, saturating his thoughts as he guides himself back to the stairways leading to the higher levels – where the smell of blood doesn’t sink as deep, nor distorts his senseless sight with the draw of violence. Up on a floor above, as he glances, he can see Xev waiting for him. It’s only been the third time in their partnership has the prime stepped aboard and out of his comfort zone.

Not that this was the chroma’s comfort zone either; to drawn agitated, his claws flexing as rumbles.

Lucifer’s steps ring as he walks up the wide sloping stairway, disregarding those around him with the best of his ability. He only gives an occasional growl, just enough to have them steer clear and to prevent the ever-present bloodlust from clouding his thoughts. The noise, too close to that of a crowding vessel filled with grineer soldiers, ripe to be shredded. To stain his pelt crimson red and warmed.

He’s quiet when he approaches the prime, who remains just as silent as he. Externally they keep the silence, the pair walking back to the docks. “It’d be enough to pay off the expenses completely, right? 70 thousand credits; get those repairs finalized and we can finally go freelance?”

“It should be enough,” the Excalibur sighs, relaying his thoughts back to the chroma beside him. “The right board engine took a hit on the way out, will need to have a mechanic check on it later to be sure its operational.” He remains close to the towering ice chroma, sinking into his partner’s aura as they navigate back to his ship. They’ve both worked out of it for months now, taking jobs together but never really involving themselves farther than running contract work together.

The prime sighs, drifting out of the chroma’s line of sight, where the larger warframe’s tail drifts and sways against his thigh. With Lucifer taking the lead, it gives Xev space to stare and ponder, his thoughts fragment when the chroma calls back. “Want to wait in the ship for a call back on the payment?”

Xev adverts his sight as Lucifer looks back, his undamaged portion tilted towards the chroma’s field of view. “Yeah, I can get someone out later to check the outboard engines for if its just superficial damage.” He follows the chroma through the crowds, the air open and crisp as they walk through the central lobby and towards the checkpoint – security quickly checks them through and to the docks where his ship waits. The prime shunts off his commlink with the chroma briefly; questioning how he could ask the chroma to stay with him outside of their missions.

A warmth glows in his chest as he imagines the prospect of not being alone anymore; since they started running missions together the chroma has always just been hanging around in his ship, lounging whichever way he found comfortable. And it’s been like that they started partnering up – Lucifer didn’t have his own transport vessel at the time. He’s not physically alone, he’s well aware as he steps back into the chroma’s aura, yanked out of his thoughts as turquoise claws pull him close against his side.

Outside his thoughts Xev watches what coaxed the chroma’s actions, a large group of operatives walking in the opposite direction – the hallway small. Any glances they had were swayed by the chroma’s defensive growl, instinctive in his reactions to keep his partner close and safe. Xev basks in it, tucked beneath the chroma’s arm as they approach his ship. The chroma’s cold dilutes his burning heat, easing his nerves as he opens their commlink again. He’s comfortable just like this… against the chroma’s feathers before he eases himself away, a flush grown over his gilded face. He’ll have to ask Lucifer later.

He just doesn’t know how.

Valve has leaked player counts

Before Valve was able to plug the hole these numbers escaped:

The following table represents a small selection of the top games with Achievements on Steam, as ranked by number of total unique players (i.e. the number of Steam users who have played the game at least once) as of July 1, 2018 and as collected by Steam Spy's Sergey Galyonkin.
