        “Tia, come out of there!” Nyx pleaded as she pounded on the door to the lavatory that Celestia had run into and locked shortly after all the Tenno who’d never even SEEN an equine kept giving her cat-calls. Then again, some of those were for her, but she didn’t care over getting Celestia out of the bathroom.

        “No! I’m just eye-candy! Nopony sees me as a pony~!” Celestia whinnied in despair of her sexiness devaluing her as a mare.

        “We see you as a pony!” Valkyr insisted, having been just as quick to try and console their lover-Friend, as her girlfriend was.

        “WHERE’D THE HOT CHICK GO?!” A random Wukong demanded as he bound into the room on an Orthos like a monkey, looking around. Beings Wukong was an incredibly new model rediscovered, they knew he wasn’t in the room earlier, and was probably looking for Celestia on hearsay.

        “You’re not helping!” Valkyr growled.

        “Not our fault she’s the hottest Tenno ass we’ve seen in decades.” A Frost commented.

        “She’s not even a Tenno!” Nyx piped up, getting everyone to pause in surprise.

        “...Wow, that’s more impressive actually.” A random Excalibur said.

        “And what is THAT supposed to mean?!” Valkyr growled.

        “That means, that she’s all-natural under that armor, no shape-shifting, no subconscious preferences, she’s just pure sexy.” A Loki explained, getting appreciative nods from most of the males and a lot of females who clearly had a preference for the feminine form.

        “WHY Mother?! WHY did you bless ME with your plot and not Lulu~?!” Celestia whined from the lavatory as Teshin had calmly witness the ridiculous display.

        “Little Sun, do not bemoan your good fortune. Rather, I’d insist you not remove your Warframe. Overexposure to Tenno direct skin-to-skin has the tendancy to create more Tenno.” This made both Nyx and Valkyr go rigid, before whirling on him.

        “What do you mean?!” They both asked fearfully at the same time, and Teshin calmly folded his arms.

        “What I mean is, you Tenno are not just amorphous biomass. You’re more like the Infested; masses of nanite colonies using biomass as a medium for your neural and physical manipulation and mobilization. Only, unlike the hiveminded Infested, Tenno have the fortune of being their own individual ‘hives’ so to speak, caused by your Void Sickness. Thus, you Tenno are actually contagious, the only reason I and Stalker aren’t infected is because of our regular and persistent use of our own special Warframes.” Teshin finished, getting both Nyx and Valkyr to feel utterly awful.

        “Uh...so...hypothetically...if Tia was our lover…?” Nyx asked fearfully.

        “Oh, she’s got it, definitely.” Teshin confirmed, making Nyx fall back in a dead faint, her old legs fly into the air.

        “NYX!”

---]=======/

        “COULDN’T YOU HAVE SAID THAT BEFORE SHOCKING NYX INTO UNCONSCIOUSNESS?!” Valkyr screamed at Teshin after Nyx came to, Celestia worriedly hovering over her like a mother hen, all her personal concerns suddenly unimportant for the moment.

        “Well I had thought it obvious, considering you had already been in prolonged physical and intimate contact with her and her kind for over a year now. Void Sickness takes only a matter of hours to run it’s course upon initial contact. If she hasn’t become a Tenno by now, she’s certainly immune at least to your Tenno Technocyte Virus. I’m not willing to test any of her tissues with Infested Technocyte however. Imagine the nightmarish repercussions if they got even a sample of a feather from her.” Teshin audibly shuddered.

        “...Good point. Considering Tia could throw a planet around like it’s a yo-yo, I don’t want any Infested getting a whiff of her. Coba was close enough. Speaking of which; would you know of any-”

        “Nope, that’s it. That was the last great repository of my race’s achievements on Earth, everything else has been destroyed by the Grineer, time, or taken by yourselves or the Corpus.” Teshin stated with finality. “Of all the things I’ve kept eye on over the long centuries, Coba was always a dark stain on wrapping things up for Earth.”

        “Well then, Tia, do me a favor.” Nyx said as she reached up and caressed her lover-friend’s cheek. “Throw that fucking mudball into the sun so the Grineer will die a lot quicker.”

        “Well...I’ll dip the planet in the sun, cleanse it, then return the molten slag-ball to it’s orbit, will that do? Do I have to do the same with the moon?” Celestia asked as if smiting an entire planet wasn’t anything new. What Celestia never told anypony, was she’d had to do the deed to a nearby planetoid that kept growing worrying parasitic tumorous growths and trying to somehow move towards Equus’ solar orbit every ten or so years.

        “Yeah, but first we need to let the Tenno who made homes there evacuate. I mean, that resort on Hawaii will be a depressing loss, but yeah, moon too. Grineer have mined the absolute fuck out of it, you’ll have to let it smelt if you want a perfect orb again.” Valkyr commented, making Teshin hum.

        “Intriguing. Terraforming entire planets. Little Sun, could you do all this? Even move the oceans to freeze in space for repurposing?” Teshin asked conversationally, making Celestia fidget.

        “Um...certainly? Mother did very much the same with Equus before settling down, or at least she said as much. All the genetic material that would be in the ice and water would also speed up the planet’s reborn ecosystem by a few thousand years, and I might even have to superheat the ice myself if the planet’s going to form it’s own atmosphere anytime soon.” Celestia mused. ‘Mother’s notes were very comprehensive, I’ll need to check her diaries and theological texts.’

        “... Science, science, blah blah blah.” Valkyr said, bored. “I thought we were trying to help out the boss, not marvel on about how powerful Celestia is. Now, if you could just tell us what we grabbed so we can go back to the dojo and put the boss in it, we’d be VERY happy…” ‘Especially me, ‘cause that means more snu snu.’

        “Well, aside from the two hundred or so Tenno you rescued, you also brought through containers holding dozens of Warframes, one of which, is the one you journeyed there for, and one more, was a special thing that all Warframes were originally based on, including the Primes. In fact, it’s even better than the intended Frame you sought out.” Teshin turned and strode away, the three following with Tia nervously trying not to sashay her flanks, but her Frame’s design more or less forced her to.

        “So...here you are, old friend.” Nyx said to the legless Excalibur Prime Warframe that was being looked over on an Orokin ‘operating table’. It was incredibly large, easily as tall and as bulky as a standard Rhino Warframe, indicating it’s original owner, Nyx, had indeed been a very large male before her injuries and separation from her original frame allowed her Technocyte Virus to mutate her into a black blob of flesh and nanites. “I may not be able to use you again, what with whatever that potion did screwing with my body so bad, but it’s good to see you again.”

        “Nyxie, you don’t have to talk to it. Frames don’t have souls.” Valkyr soothed, trying to urge her lover to let go, and the busty Nyx took a steadying breath as she put the legs down on the table, willing her biomass to ooze out of the stabilizing metals and systems of the legs and pool around her legs, hissing as it seeped in through her frame’s seams, and her Warframe visibly shuddered as it compressed the additional mass into her body.

        “Ow, fucking ow. This is why I HATE Trinity frames, they’re too damn petite….” Nyx hissed. It was easier for a Tenno to get into a Frame if it was bigger, harder if it was smaller. Meaning Trinities had naturally less biomass to work with than most Tenno. It was easy enough for Tenno to add or lose biomass, but considering Tenno rarely needed to actually eat outside of absorbing raw energy or living beings if necessary, actually ‘eating’ was a chore to the Tenno as a whole. So Tenno didn’t like losing biomass if they could help it.

        “Mmm, I can’t wait to get home and see how much your...assets have grown.” Valkyr actually purred, getting Nyx and Celestia to shudder in anticipation. “But this frame is so huge, boss couldn’t possibly fit in it.”

        “And that, is what the other frame I truly intended you to find comes in.” Teshin said as he then led them to another table, this one holding the mysterious model Warframe Valkyr had found in the vault.

        “So, uh, what’s in here?” Valkyr asked. “I mean, you’re being VERY cryptic about it, and I’m not the smartest Tenno. So if you would kindly explain, that’d be nice.”

        “We did not create the Primes off-hand. There was a precedent to even them. This, is that precedent. Behold, the Oldest Warframe.” Teshin grandly introduced with his enigmatic voice. “Proto-Excalibur.”

        “...It doesn’t seem that different to me.” Celestia commented, getting affirming nods from everyone who wasn’t Teshin, making the ancient Orokin man sigh.

        “Of course, it was found during excavations, historical societies trying to hold on to our origins. They ended up finding this buried in a lost temple. Proto-Excalibur was the basis of all our Warframe technology. The mass-production models being the furthest from it. But in the end, every Warframe on record has Proto-Excalibur to thank for it’s success.” Teshin then held out a palm, and an Infested flesh node materialized, writhing, making everyone nervous, but the Orokin helped guide the Infestation to what it was, if Teshin was holding it, more than likely it was safe. “Observe.”

        Teshin opened Proto-Excalibur’s helm, and dropped the flesh into it. It promptly tried to expand and mold, but the flesh could only twitch as it had in Teshin’s hand. “So the suppressing alloys and technology all originated from this Warframe….” One of the Loki helping observe said in awe.

        “Yes. It’s in fact stronger than even the Prime frames in this aspect. Take this to your Warlord and quickly transfer him into it. Even if he suffers tissue damage, the Proto-Excalibur will prevent his Technocyte Virus from advancing at all.” Teshin informed, causing Valkyr to bow, and Nyx to weakly tilt forward, all her extra biomass making her frame stiff.

        “Thank you Master Teshin, you have our sincerest gratitude.” Celestia said for the fiery Valkyr and currently grunting-to-bow Nyx.

---]=======/

        “Well that was disturbingly easy.” Nyx commented from the side as the three all looked out of the Mantis at the rapidly cooling molten spheres that were once Earth and Luna (the moon) with a massive amount of ice melting all over the large dense planet. Ordis had picked them up on Mercury within an hour, and flew them to Earth, helped Celestia by flying towards the sun, and helped by flying back to Earth’s original coordinates all within several hours to smite the Grineer’s majority powerbase and the otherwise toxic planet.

        Unfortunately, a great number of Grineer ships left the planet as it was being moved, so sadly even if their homeworld and their planet-bound bases were all gone, likely their leaders were still alive. Time would tell if this would be a nail in the coffin for the Grineer, or just a major setback for the doggedly determined genocidal monsters. Especially considering they had bases and cloning facilities all across the Origin Systems, Earth just being the seat of their power.

        But it was necessary anyway, Earth wasn’t going to ever recover at the rate things were going. At least now, with all the technology available, and with the planet now basically starting from scratch, there was no value to it for any save the most doggedly determined schemes that could stand up to the inhospitable environment.

        Then came the awkward ten hour trip back to Equus in the Outer Terminus systems which were what most called the nearest star systems to Sol.

        Especially when Nyx caved in to the pain, and stripped.

        “Girls...please stop staring….” Nyx fidgeted, arms over her massive bust as she clutched them to herself, gratuitous amounts of titflesh bulging over and under her arms thanks to her new K-cup size and added half-foot of height. The legs she added? Yeah, she was a big guy before….

        “So...big….” Celestia’s wings fluttered as she looked up at her friend-. ‘Buck it! That Tenno is my lover!’

        “I wanna motorboat them...so bad.” Valkyr simpered, wanting to indulge, only to be fought by Celestia over them.

        “Think of what Volt Prime would say about this!” Nyx whined as she looked down at her massive orbs. She’d need a new custom frame for her new body unless Artemis finally let her have the antidote, unless her biology would just screw up more for all she now knew.

        “He’d say they’re huge!” Celestia yelled, engaging in her ‘fight’ with Valkyr, the fight being no more than slapping each other futilely.

        “I know, but I meant about this situation!” Nyx added, pointing to her far-too-small Warframe for reference.

        “He’d still say they’re huge!” Valkyr replied, returning the ‘blows’ she was exchanging with Celestia.

        “You’re not helping!” Nyx cried. It was at this point that Ordis had enough, and turned off the Life Support long enough for everyone in the cabin to pass out.

---]=======/

        “OH MY GODS~!” Trinity squealed in peals of laughter, the petite femme sputtering in amusement at how she had to look so far up at the seven-foot-tall Nyx from her position she couldn’t even see the femme’s face without her pulling her massive breasts apart, much to the nude femme’s intense embarrassment. Beings there wasn’t enough material aboard the Mantis for her to even fabricate a robe or even a metal bikini since Ordis had been donating to the Clan as ordered due to them needing more resources for defenses, repairs, and specters.

        “Could you just shut up and get me something to cover up with?! I’ll take some damn patched-together Grineer alloy plates if it’ll at least cover my naughty bits!” Nyx pleaded, trying to ignore how absolutely everyone but Trinity were gawking at her as she tried in vain to cover both of her nipples with one arm, the far nipple just barely out of reach, while the other hand covered her groin. The shine of her liquid-black body just making her shapeliness even more profound.

        “LIMBO!” Trinity yelled, the dapper Warframe showing up instantly.

        “You called?” Limbo said, doing a small bow and tipping his ‘hat’. “Is there something you- OH DEAR!” Limbo finally noticed Nyx’s naked form. “I see. One second please, I have to go talk to Mirage and Nekros.”

        “All this aside, we did get what we needed.” Celestia finally interjected since nobody could stop staring at the amazoness long enough to get back to business. ‘Her ass is even better too! I just want to shove my muzzle in there and-stop Tia! Business, first!’ Celestia levitated over the Proto-Excalibur Warframe and moved it to Trinity, who seemed interested as she took it from Celestia’s golden glowing aura, and dragged it toward the room where she had Volt Prime sedated and his Warframe repaired enough to open easily.

        “Now then, quick tally! Who here would want to bang Nyx, raise your hands or hooves!” Valkyr cheered, raising her hand, Celestia a hoof, and everyone else including Artemis and Discord raising a limb in affirmative, getting Nyx to moan in embarrassment.

        “I LIVE~!” Volt Prime’s voice screamed in joy as he suddenly did a powerslide into the hall. “I feel amazing! This new Warframe is-HOLY SHIT! WHERE DID THIS BABE COME FROM?! SHE’S HUGE!”

        “TOLD YOU!”
