I think the Tenno are all humans from the Orokin Great War who were immune, but still carriers of Technocyte.

I also believe the frames are an amplifier and controller of the virus and they can manipulate how the virus behaves... but we also have to remember, technocyte virus can infect robots and machinery - this is beyond regular organisms. So what if it's the frames that are infected and not the person inside? And because the people inside are immune "carriers" they are able to control the warframe?

Makes sense to me, because if not, why not just scrap every dead Tenno's armour and give it to one of those Red Veil guys since they're on our side? I mean surely then they wouldn't be getting kidnapped... but if the Red Veil guys ARENT immune to technocyte, like the Tenno I'm hypothesizing, then they wouldn't be able to use a warframe without it infesting them.

The only reason I'm baffled by any of this is Nova. She was created in "modern times" in the game's storyline... That means she can't have been an immune carrier from the past. She could of course be an immune carrier from the present, but she's basically the only frame that insn't a relic. (Valkyr could be seen like this too, but I believe in my head that Bastet Helmet is her real head and she was previously a drastically different frame before Alad got to her - and I believe he probably found her in a cryopod, so I think she's fromt he past too.)
