Technocyte Coda

Hailing from the 90's, the Technocyte Coda are prototype Adversaries with a musical prowess, owing to their creation being a joint partnership between the Höllvanian government and the agency behind the sensational 1999-era boy band On-lyne.I'm happy to hear that the boys' samples arrived safely. Hairbrushes from pop star dressing rooms leading to major technological advancement... It's amazing, when you think about it! I hope you get what you want out of them. What was it again? DNA? - Hacked Emails, Feb 1998
The Technocyte Coda will begin their tour sometime in 2025.
==Members==
The backstories of On-lyne's members can currently be found on the official website. Clicking on a given member's picture will display a short biography. Clicking the selected portrait again surrounds it with infested growths while subsequently corrupting the biography.

==Creation==
After the completion of The Hex and the player does not have a currently active Kuva Lich, Sister of Parvos, or Technocyte Coda, Technocyte Infested enemies can drop a unique pickup that can be taken to virus-riddled computers to run the Technocyte-Coda.exe. Upon return to the Orbiter, regardless of whether the mission was completed or aborted, the player will receive communications from the newly created Technocyte Coda. The Technocyte Coda's profile can be accessed from either the Orbiter's Navigation console, or on the Main Menu, through a banner on the lower right corner of the screen.
===Personality===
One of the five band members (Zeke, Drillbit, Packet, DJ RoM, or Harddrive) will be chosen as the leading member and "personality" that the player will encounter from their adversary.
==Strategy==
===Drawing out the Technocyte Coda===
Members of the Technocyte Coda will randomly appear in 1999 missions, which when weakened enough will prompt Parazon Mercy. Unlike Kuva Liches or Sisters of Parvos, the Technocyte Coda does not use Requiem Mods and instead has a "Antivirus" threshold bar. Using Antivirus Mods obtained from 1999 Bounties will speed up the process.
===Combat===
===Final Confrontation===
Once the Antivirus threshold decreases to 0%, the adversary flees to the Earth Proxima, appearing in a node dubbed "Technocyte Coda Confrontation". This is an Empyrean Skirmish mission where players must embark in their Railjack. If there are multiple squad members, each player's Technocyte Coda will spawn in one-by-one until all of them are defeated.
Once depleted, the Technocyte Coda will be finally defeated for good and prompt one final Mercy. The player will be given two choices: to Vanquish the Technocyte Coda or Convert it. Whichever choice made, all rewards stolen from the Technocyte Coda will be returned to the player.
*Vanquish: The Technocyte Coda will permanently die and award a unique resource used to purchase Coda weapons from Eleanor.
*Convert: The Technocyte Coda becomes the player's ally, allowing it to appear randomly in a mission after the player enters bleedout, and can be brought aboard Railjacks as defensive Crew. 
**The player can trade a converted Technocyte Coda, allowing another player a chance to earn their cosmetics. The trade is performed inside a Clan Dojo's Crimson Branch room, and the recipient must not have any active Kuva Lich, Sisters of Parvos, or Technocyte Coda. 
***The stats of the Technocyte Coda being traded can be previewed by right-clicking its token.
***Once traded, the Technocyte Coda will become the recipient's active Technocyte Coda.
***A converted Technocyte Coda can only be traded once. If the recipient converts their received Technocyte Coda, they will not be tradeable.
==Trivia==
*In musical terms, the word "coda" refers to a point to return to in order to finish a piece. 
*According to an interview with Creative Director Rebecca Ford, the Technocyte Coda adopting the identity of On-Lyne was inspired by her experience of infecting the family computer with a computer virus by trying to download boy band music through the now-defunct file-sharing service Napster.https://www.gamesradar.com/games/action-rpg/warframe-gets-a-mutated-boy-band-in-its-whacky-90s-update-because-the-mmos-director-accidentally-ruined-her-family-computer-with-a-virus-from-napster-in-1999-that-always-stuck-with-me/
**On-Lyne's section on warframe.com has a note on the bottom stating that the "fan-site" is run by a "Rebecca F." referencing her.
*In the main album cover photo for PARTY OF YOUR LIFETIME and THE GREAT DESPAIR, some of the band members discretely show the same hand-sign as Arlo.
