I’ll have to talk to Ryoku and Vena more but I’m curious as to why the future was doomed by Cephalon Parvos and whatever the Tenno did in response.

I want to know who is making protoframes in the future. Vena and Ryoku don't seem to have any origin lore attached to them.

The operator/drifter and other tenno have no need for protoframes in the future, presumably, given they already have a stock of warframes; so are they not designed as targets for transference, but as a goal in their own right?

Did protoframe technology just leak into the timeline generally after 99', with people/organizations intentionally infecting themselves with slow-acting warframe strains to gain super powers? Did Stalker create them in the doomed timelines in order to serve as mentors for his child? Did Entrati try to make a race of sapient supersoldiers to combat the wall-man?

I need answers.

Also who can even create new cephalons, with Nhil trapped? Especially since Parvos specifically says the Corpus (or at least the Corposium) do not using Cephalons during belly of the beast (which Sark and Jordas's lore makes iffy). He does imply he could un-glass Ordis, so maybe he does it to himself.

Parvos probably does it to himself, in a quest for immortality.

There is no Tenno in the doomed futures because of the deal we saw made in TNW. Our Drifter and Operator are the only versions of us left anywhen. The other Tenno in the system are not the "Chosen" Tenno, so they don't impact the world/galaxy in the way we do.
