Disclaimers: I do not own Warframe.

Update A/N: Nov 12, 2017: Well, I'll be damn. I seriously was not expecting this type of attention for this story. But after 8 fav, 10 follows, and 10 reviews, I guess people really like this story. Here is an updated chapter one, with more information and storytelling along with setting up the action for Chapter two which will have the actual mission in it. If you have ideas or suggestions, feel free to tell me.

A/N: This is my first attempt at the Warframe fandom. I got the game recently and took a liking to it. Chroma is my favorite just because of his versatility. This will be a different universe than the actual game and here is a list of changes:

1. There are only as many Tenno as there are base warframes

2. They are humans inside specially made suits that help contain their abilities. They can only be outside their suits for six hours at a time, afterward, their powers start going out of control. The ages vary and each has their own reasons for staying around, they have all their abilities unlock and even a few new ones, and they each have a personality. Also, Prime and Umbra armors will still play a role.

3. Excalibur was the first to be awakened, Chroma was the second.

4. The Orbiter has been expanded to be big enough to fit all of the Tenno, Lotus, and their companions. Everyone has their own quarters and even their own landing craft within the hangar bay. There is no unlocking a planet, they go where they are needed.

5. The Orokin empire was that. It had a ruling Emperor along with a noble class.

6. Weapons load: The Tenno will have a choice besides the standard. They can ditch one slot for another; they can have two primary weapons, one melee, and no secondary or two melee, one secondary, and no primary, etc. They will never have more than three weapons unless it comes with their suit.

7. As new Tenno become available in the game, they will appear at points in the story as part on the group, except Xaku, I have plans for them. Anyway, just because they are not reference in the early parts doesn't mean they are not around. In case you haven't notice, Warframe is one of those games where characters keep popping up.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

My username is EpicJamon on warframe and my main warframe is of course Chroma.

It was peaceful deep in the part of the jungle where Excalibur was currently standing. Lushes greenery surrounded the alpha Tenno as he surveys the area, scanning for his target. His goal was no easy prey to find though, not in the slightest, for his prey was known to everyone, including the Lotus, as a loner. Whether on missions or on his own time, Chroma preferred being by himself, away from the others, only really be seen when it was his turn to stand watch on the bridge. The majority of the times when he was seen alongside the others was only at briefings, even then, only if he had to be there. The fact that he took his landing craft from the Orbiter to Earth shows how serious he was about having privacy.

Excalibur always found it a little funny that despite Chroma being the second Tenno to be awakened, after Excalibur himself, he took almost no part in their organization other than missions. By all rights, he should be the second-in-command of the Tenno in the field. Others have openly discussed that they could easily be second-in-command, though Chroma has openly stated that he would only take orders from Excalibur and the Lotus herself.

Unfortunately, a few of the other Tenno, namely Oberon, have seen this as insubordination at its finest and has put forth arguments stating Chroma should be willing to take orders from those that were in charge of whatever mission was going on. But before Excalibur could do anything, the Lotus herself step in, saying that Chroma was technically in the right. She pointed out that Excalibur was the only other authority beside herself that was recognized in their faction who can give orders. Also, that since Chroma only went out on solo missions, he was right in his statement on how he only took orders from Lotus and Excalibur.
