Couldn't The Lotus be a creation of the agency Hadden worked for in Dark Sector with them having known the Orokin were coming (but not when) with the technocyte virus being a repourposed cold war weapon as an attempt to fight them. And since the lotus plant is generally associated with peace this could mean that "The Lotus" is a program meant to maintain peace which was broken by the Orokin's arrival. And since the Tenno are ninjas who are masters of deception it would makke sense that they would play along appearing to ally with the orokin at first only to betray them in the end. Which when that conflict ends The Lotus send the Tenno into cryosleep until they're needed which happens to be at this moment due to the Infested running rampant and the Grenier and Corpus fighting amongst each other.
