Excalibur Prime

Disclaimers: I do not own Warframe.

A/N: Last of the three updates.

I always said that the Prime warframes would play a part in this story and here they are. But I couldn't just have it where they are just an "Oh look, I found a new warframe to upgrade into" type of deal because that would be too easy.

Excalibur Prime

Queens' Dominance

The gold alloys that adorned its body shine brightly in the hangar bay's lights as the figure slowly came closer and closer to them with a walk that gave away no emotions. All across its metallic body were small black discs, pulsing blue energy every few seconds.

If it was not for those features, the figure before them would almost pass for Excalibur....almost.

It didn't give off the same swordsman's pride that the Alpha Tenno did nor did it command the same authority and respect.

Though going off of experiences alone, both Trinity and Atlas knew that with the two instruments of death it held in its hands, the warframe was just as deadly if not more.

"Ordis, were you able to identify those swords?", Trinity quietly asks.

In response to several incidents where a Tenno has been cut off from the Orbiter A.I. through either the enemy machinations or space phenomena, Volt, Mag, Gauss, and a number of other Tenno with scientific backgrounds, were assigned the task of finding a way around this obstacle.

What came forth from this combining of the minds was a duplicate of the Cephalon upload into each of the warframes that could operate separated from the main network establish by the Orbiter.

While this version of the A.I. wasn't as nearly as useful as the one the Tenno usually used, he was still able to perform a number of limited tasks, such as local hacking and data retrieval. Plus, information was uploaded hourly from the ship's archive, so data logs and intelligence were still available as well as short-range communication between a squad.

"Negative, nothing in the Orbiter's archives could be found on those weapons. The only thing I know is that they match the schematics of the Nikana, much like the Dragon Nikana, though they are of a completely different style."

"Behold, the despicable yet useful tool that is Excalibur Prime! He is the very symbol of the depths that I am willing to go to in order to eliminate you Tenno maggots and your sinister Lotus!", Vay Hek resumes, "For you see, I have made a pact with Tyl Regor! I have begrudgingly come to a mutual agreement with the vilest of the Corpus, Alad V! Finally, I have cast aside my personal feelings and have allied with that loathsome, detestable, abhorrent upstarting pile of garbage, Vor!"

"But what about the Prime itself? Were you able to conclude who is in the suit?", Trinity then asks, ignoring the Councilor's rant.
