Talk:Tenno/@comment-3312268-20150208014202

As a point on what is said about the Rhino codex, the indication more seems to be that it is not a Tenno without a Warframe, but a Warframe without a Tenno. The Warframes are a focus, they actually determine what powers the Tenno use. Vor's comments evidence this, and Limbo's backstory does as well as Tenno Limbo himself came up with the mathematical formulas that allow the Limbo Warframe to use its Rift powers, he had to specifically create a Warframe that could do let him do that. So its incredibly unlikely a Tenno could be readily using their powers so specifically when not in a Warframe. What is being described is a Rhino Warframe without anyone in control of it. Remember that Warframes are in part made from the Technocyte virus, which is also responsible for the infested. Its a semibiological virus, which makes the Warframes semibiological. Warframes are basically just powered armor, with the Tenno providing that power through their void energy. But Zanuka and the Hyena pack use Warframe abilities as well without a Tenno. It uses its own power supply to make them work.

So what you have is a Rhino Warframe from before they were designed with Tenno in mind (remember, the narrating scientist who created the Rhino was unaware of the Zariman children. He doubtlessly would have been aware had he been making the Warframe for a Tenno.) rampaging around the ship, using an internal power source and guided by the primal urges of a the technocyte virus.

Further, look at Mesa. When you encounter the Mesa when going after infested Alad V, the Lotus calls her hollow, and she is infested. You have an ambulatory Warframe with no Tenno to control it, so its just acting on primal instinct.

For one reason or the other, the Tenno suppress the technocyte that makes up a Warframe. Hence why Davis remarks that they will be rich when Rhino halts at the door to the room containing the Zariman children. He had a theory that the Zariman children could influence the Rhino and it worked. They had a use for the energy of the Zariman children and they had a way to control the Warframes.
