Reservoir

The Reservoir is a location on Lua that is first seen during The Second Dream, and later shown during the Erra quest. It is the holding chamber of the Tenno's true form, the Operators. 
The Reservoir is a large chamber that holds numerous bundles of Somatic Pods. Each bundle can be accessed above-ground through pools of water. 
==History==
=== The Void-Jump Accident ===
Ever since the Zariman Ten Zero incident, the children aboard the Zariman gained newfound Void-related powers that they cannot control. The Somatic Pods were created from the works of Margulis to tame this power and to protect them from outside harm."She put us into the dream, brought us peace. I remember we could still hear her voice, raging at the leaders for their mistreatment of us. When they executed her... well... I could not let that go. - Operator during The Second Dream Once inside these pods, the children would "dream", preserving their age and their consciousness."This will stop the voices from taking hold. You will have to dream, my angel..." - Margulis during The Second Dream The consequence of not sleeping in these Reservoirs would be insanity, losing their humanity to the Void."If Rell's been caught in a Transference loop for this long... the psychological effects could have been catastrophic. This 'man in the wall', these delusions, symptoms of the Void exposure all Tenno experienced." - Lotus during Chains of Harrow
=== The Old War ===
During The Old War, through a process called Transference, pioneered by Margulis, the Zariman children, while still inside the Reservoirs, were able to have their consciousness linked with a surrogate body: the Warframes."Distorted by vague horrors, we kept the Zariman survivors within a secret Reservoir. They were the missing half. Transference-linked: the Warframes, the body - and they, the mind." - Ballas during The Sacrifice
=== The Second Dream ===
To prevent Hunhow and the Shadow Stalker from destroying the Reservoir, the Lotus instructs the Tenno to phase the Moon from the Void back into real space. This prevents the Stalker from collapsing the Void onto Lua, but also leaving it and even the Reservoir more vulnerable to other threats; Grineer, Corpus, and Sentients.
==Trivia==
*The design of the Somatic Pods were based on Margulis' favorite flower, the lotus."In dreams we could control it, focus it. So she made the pods, her favorite flower... she said sometimes... something beautiful can grow out of something ugly." - Operator during The Second Dream
*A larger Reservoir with thousands of Somatic Pods can be seen during the Erra Quest.
*In Defense missions in the Undercroft of Duviri, one Somatic Pod appears as the defense objective, being referred to as "The Golden Cradle".
