Funny / The Everyday Antics of the Tenno

Issue #1: Meet the Tenno

• How does the very first crewman in the series die? A falling grate.
  Bonk!
  • Gets a call-back in Issue #3: Kickass Dojo Party, except this time it's four crewmen.
• Cal suggests to his teammates that they try to complete the mission stealthily, cue a shot of a room containing three crewmen, two of which are blown up. You'd think Excalibur's definition of stealth is a bit off, but the remaining crewmen is completely oblivious to the fact an explosion happened just meters behind him.
  • Made funnier when you realize that in the game itself, the rocket launcher (named Ogris) is considered a silent weapon, meaning stealth-runs with a rocket launcher are entirely possible.
• The fact that the Tenno are shown butt-sliding on the ground towards the objective. Does it look silly? Yes, but any experienced player of the game itself would tell you it's actually a common method of moving faster.
• When the Tenno arrive at the ship's reactor, it's guards mistake them for pizza delivery people:
  Crewman: Hey, do you guys have our pizza?
  Vauban: Uh... sure. Ember, give them their "pizza".
  Ember: I've got a spicy one right here.
  Crewman: We didn't order anything spi- *Is hit by fireball* AAARRGH!!!
• Excalibur straight up destroys the reactor with a rocket launcher, rather than bothering to hack it. "Explosions are so much more fun" indeed.
• When Valkyr catches up with the squad, she is completely covered in blood, and this exchange occurs:
  Excalibur: Hey Val, where have you been?
  Valkyr: I was just busy killing everyone.
  Vauban: But... this wasn't an exterminate mission.
  Valkyr: And your point is...?
• The Real Housewives of Xini:
  Frost: Can we please watch something else?
  Nova: Not until the real housewives of Xini is over.
  Frost: It's just scorpions arguing!
• When the Tenno return to the dojo, Loki gives them one orokin reactor, citing a "potato farm shortage". Vauban, already having a supercharged suit, throws it to his friends so they can decide among themselves who will get to keep it. Unsurprisingly, this does not go well:
  Excalibur: *Catches the orokin reactor* Uh, I'm sure we can work this out calmly if we just sit down and- *Is jumped by Ember and Valkyr*
  Valkyr: IT'S MINE!!!
  Ember: GIVE IT HERE!!!

Issue #2: Scumcube

• The comic opens with Loki throwing a kunai at Mag to see if she can dodge it, which she does successfully. The kunai then goes on to hit Valkyr, who returns the favor.
  Loki: *With a kunai sticking out of his helmet* Ow.

Issue #3: Kickass Dojo Party

• Zephyr is roosting onto top of a large container, while Valkyr is sneaking up behind her, getting ready to pounce. Valkyr then lunges at Zephyr, misses, and the following consequence is accompanied by a loud "SPLAT!".
  • Serves as a bit of Fridge Logic, as Zephyr and Valkyr are also known by the Warframe community as the bird-frame and cat-frame, respectively.

Issue #4: What Stalker?

• Excalibur, Mag and Nova are struggling during a mobile defense mission, having run out of ammo while under fire from Corpus crewmen. However, Loki arrives to save the day according to his story, beating up the crewmen barehanded and disposing of the remaining one in a particularly following manner:
  Loki: You insult the Lotus, you threaten my friends with capture and dissection, I've chosen my words carefully, boxhead...
  Crewman: This is madness!
  Loki: Madness? This... is... KAPPA!!! *Kicks crewman off cliff*

Valkyr's Very Unfortunate Valentine

• The Stalker checks his emails to see which bosses he'll avenge next and comes across an email from Valkyr. What does said email contain? The text "555-826-1904 Call me..." and a picture.
  • Said picture is of Valkyr lying on a bed in a seductive pose... while still wearing her armored exo-suit.

How Excalibur Became a Prime

• The comic opens the Tenno watching the film adaption of "Fifty Shades of Vay". The dialog in particular pokes fun at Vay Hek's Large Ham tendencies:
  Vay Hek: DID YOU REALLY BELIEVE... IT WOULD BE... THIS EASY!?! THOSE... ARE JUST... THE AUXILIARY BONDS!!!
  • The conversation following may also be worth a few laughs:
    Mirage: Wow, didn't think "Fifty Shades of Vay" would be such a raunchy film.
    Ember: I know right? I mean how can you have a Turkey body and still be able to do that?.
    Valkyr: Pft, this crap is pretty tame if you ask me.
• Vauban enters the room, citing an overabundance of void keys for the reason for a new invention of his. A conversation reveals that the Tenno had so many void keys that they were able to fill an entire room with them, which Rhino got killed diving into.
• Vauban shows off his invention, a gun that fires void keys. Frost asks if he can hold if, and shoots Excalibur in the face with it by accident. The comic is then revealed to be Excalibur explaining to the Primes how he joined them:

  Excalibur Prime: ... And that's pretty much how I joined the Prime club.

  Ember Prime: Huh.

• The fact that the comic is based off and works off the fact that Excalibur Prime almost looks like just Excalibur with a void key jammed in his helmet.
