My theory on this debacle with him and Lotus: Lotus went along with Ballas in order to remove him as a threat to us Tenno. Now, she's aligned herself with the Sentients, but still seems to be leading us rather than opposing us...I think she's putting up a front in order to lead us straight to the heart of the Tau system so we can fight off the Sentients and destroy their hold on her. Even if the Margulis persona was faked for her, can she really throw away the "mother" side? I don't think it's that easy.

Obviously she can't tell us these things to our faces lest she be ousted as a traitor, and maybe there's a Sentient side of her that Ballas unlocked that's more in control, but the "space mom" persona is most likely still in there somewhere, if not using our growth to her ends of destroying the Orokin and the Sentient threats to her children. "Keep your allies close, and your enemies closer". To me, something isn't adding up to her being a real villain yet. It feels like an act. But, we'll see eventually.
