#def fitting this into my drifter's lore

[holistichiatus]

so... drifter's fucked up hand, am I right?

I was wondering how drifter could have fixed their hand before new war since their hands are normal looking in the origin system. then I remembered.

natah is a mimic.

so what if her hand slowly took on the appearance of drifter's normal hand and they are part sentient now. this would also be the reason they can use transference, based on what teshin tells us when we choose our warframe.

they also threw up their hand during the natah chase scene in New war like they expected to be able to do something to defend themselves. it wasn't an "I'm trying to shield myself" move, it was an "I'm trying to return fire" move
