Day off

Ebrietas was so bored, he could cry. He had done everything he could think of today, from smashing missions to polishing his weapons.

He had tweaked his mods, checked his foundry, scanned his codex, and pampered his pets. He had played some old tunes on the somachord and some old games on the ludoplex. He had done it all, and it was all… meh.

Boredom had crept up on him like a sneaky spy. Ebrietas wanted to shake it off, so he decided to call the Lotus herself.

He tapped his comms and said, "Lotus? You there?"

Her voice, a mix of warmth and boredom, came through, "Ebrietas, is everything okay?"

She sounded bored too. Maybe they could cheer each other up.

"Everything is ok lotus I just wanted to chat," he said casually.

There was a pause, and then a hint of curiosity. "A chat, huh?"

"Yup! About things that don't exist… like a Nekros main who shares health orbs," he repeated.

She giggled a sound that made him smile. "Oh, the legendary Nekros healer. A rare sight in the Origin System."

And so they started to talk, like two friends who had nothing better to do. Ebrietas asked, "So, Lotus, what are you up to right now?"

She answered with a playful tone, "Just relaxing on my ship, looking at the stars. And you, my adventurous Ebrietas?"

He smiled, "I'm in the void, Lotus. Spinning, dancing pondering the meaning of life."

"Ah, the void. A place for the deep thoughts of all that is, and all that isn't," she said.

"I have a question Lotus, Do we have any info on what happens to the drifter when we switch places?"

"An interesting question, When you and other Tenno switch places with their drifter versions it leaves a small amount of void energy" Lotus paused for a moment "I can't fully explain it yet but for Tenno, you all fall asleep in Zaramin"

"Hmm," Ebrietas thought for a moment "Then is the drifter also asleep since I am here?"

"No" Lotus answered "From my understanding, the drifter is sent to the void but I can't locate him it's like he vanishes"

"Interesting very interesting" he mumbled.

They fell into a comfortable silence, a peaceful bond in the choose-ridden origin system.

And in the middle of that emptiness, Ebrietas and Lotus stayed silent just enjoying each other's company.

[ This is before the paradox.

I always wondered what happens to the operator when we player-switch them for the drifter and I wanted to make my own answer for it.

I guess next chapter how about we focus on an SI in Warframe I won't make it detailed or long just a short story maybe I will make a part 2 of it if inspiration hits]
