I'm beginning to wonder if the account Natah gives us during the Ropalolyst mission is the truth or what the Sentient Mother perceives the truth to be.

Early quests imply Lotus had cut herself off from the Sentient hive mind in order to "hide" from them and Hunhow, which could very well imply that Natah was fully capable of making her own decisions outside the will of the Sentient hive mind, let alone contrary to it. Natah allied with Ballas and destroyed the Orokin in the interests of Tau, clearly, but she could very well have spared and adopted the Tenno out of a desire for her own children as she had told us before.

Her "Mother" meanwhile, would likely never accept such a notion of genuine disobedience from her children being possible, and would thus insist that this rebellion was forced upon her by the Orokin outsiders rather than being a product of Natah's own will, and once she was no longer cut off from the hive mind would make an effort to brainwash Natah into believing the same and retuning to the Origin system to finish what she sent Hunhow to start.
