Auto-burst-spool machine pistol firing quills
(Secondary Slot)

----

CODEX:
“Biorigged by the shiniest cyters of Mycona Colony after the Triuna Crisis, this old iron fires high-velocity fester biometal-coated keratin quills that will scab a Fester, Eggie, and especially Boxhead in a sec flat.”

Overheard quote from Tarja Lem, while the cursor is over it: “Alad’s a siek ou, but a skilled cyter and servo-jockey like him was a Godsend to poor rockhoppers like us.”
As fast and bulbous as a squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag, this iron was biorigged from Tenno-spec foundries offed to the Mycona and progged from ancient Orokin weapon construction precepts hidden within the technocyte nana. All for the purpose of creating the Hypodermis machine pistol, made to say that the Mycona would not take the actions of boxheads like Anyo ever again. Not now, not ever.

The mag is actually a hypodermic needle (giving the Hypodermis its name) loaded through the pistol grip. Pressing down on the plunger injects the Hypodermis with a high-protein (and high-calcium!) slurry that encourages the growth of high-velocity toxic keratin quills coated in Fester biometal. Due to the high fire rate, and its accuracy decreasing the longer it's fired, this iron has poor ammo efficiency.

During the project, rigging expertise came from a surprising source. While on the run from every major authority in the Origin System, Alad V hid out among the Mycona and lent his ken to their cyters, helping to biorig up this deadly auto-iron and the Avestrucera. Until, of course, the moment he biorigged the abomination of nature, logic, and science that is the Teracor for a laugh while on vacation in the Plains of Eidolon, and the Boxheads snapped him up for his expertise at working with Sentient biotech. He would eventually create the Amalgam Dogs that way. Thanks, Boxer Ring. I hope you're proud of yourselves.
(It wasn't something that anyone would consider a sane decision, but after the Umbra Excalibur Incident in which Sentients were finally seen outside the Lua Exclusion Zone, ravaging Corpus defenses, the Boxer Ring worked to snap up any experts they could find.)
This weapon is a possible blueprint offed from Tarja Lem biweekly wherever she sets shop, in Relays, Landscapes such as Earth, Venus, the Mercury Quarantine's burn wards, Ganymede and A Bao A Qu, and Mycona Colony. Despite the fact that it shoots quills, this has nothing to do with the Cetus-based Quills. As far as we know.

ARTIST NOTES
The description is written in some mycona slang I invented. In the very, very likely event you didn’t get it, here’s a translation in (rough) order of appearance:

Biorigged: Made from organic material, often using technocyte matter.

Shiny - typical word for “cool.” As shamelessly ripped from Firefly.

Cyter - One who works with Infested matter. Deriving from both “cyte” as short for technocyte, and the common opinion that it’s suicidal.

Scab - Kill, typically with Infested matter.

Fester - Infested

Eggie - Grineer

Boxhead: Corpus

Boxer Ring: Corpus Board

Siek Ou - “Sick man.”

Servo-Jockey - one who works with Robotics.

Rockhopper - independent colonists living in asteroids. Typically this conveys an impression of poverty.

Offed - Given

Burn Ward - an outpost near Mercury, meant for popping zits.

Popping Zits - Killing Infested plague stars before they make planetfall. Which is presumably why we don't have Plague Star. I can't believe I'm saying this, but thanks... Corpus... board.... Oh God I feel dirty inside.

Progged - Programmed

Nana: NANOMACHINES, SON

Lent his ken - ‘ken’ means knowledge in this case. So, “lent his knowledge.”

Sets Shop - To set up temporary shop for a traveling business.

As fast and bulbous as a squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag: …Got me. (I was in a Captain Beefheart mood at the time!)

I actually have a Tenno revolver on the docket, I just haven't posted it yet because I wanted to mix things up. My deviantart and my concept thread feel dominated by Tenno weaponry with fairly logical designs (I have Warframe-ified versions of the AN-94, a LeMat, Vash's revolver, a pump-action shotgun and pump-action grenade launcher, a lever-action shotgun, a BAR...) and I wanted to do something more off-the-wall.

There's also a minor retcon of my canon in this. Now, my canon is barely there (you have to squint to see it) and it's on about the same level of hardness as the SCP Foundation (Basically "HAHAHAHA WHAT CANON") but I prefer my work to function alongside Warframe. Originally, I'd planned for Alad V to become a wild card who made a killing as an independent contractor working alongside the Mycona, applying his expertise to making horrible things like this. And the Avestrucera.

But now, I learn that the Corpus rehired him, and he's making yet another hybrid abomination. HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN

Anyway. You may notice that this is an auto-burst-spool weapon. I actually have one more of these planned, I just did this one because... honestly? Because I wanted to. I wanted to create the most bizarre trigger type I could for warframe (We have burst, auto, auto burst, semi, continuous, charged, duplex...) and this just seemed to naturally fit. Also, the idea of a hypodermic needle as a magazine was funny.

This was heavily inspired by the "injector" weapons from Defiance 2050.

There's also a hint for an upcoming weapon that is not the revolver I have planned next! You'll find out soon enough.
