I think you're right to a degree, in that this takes place before the Tenno as an organization/race, but I don't think the children found on the ship were the product of experimentation. As mentioned in the Excalibur entry, the Tenno were those who returned from and were warped by the Void. They were, for all intents and purposes, accidents. I think the children mentioned were actually Orokin children or individuals that had somehow gotten trapped and scarred in the Void (perhaps during the spatial fold that cripped the ship to begin with), imbuing them with chaotic versions of their Warframe powers (the Warframes being necessary for them to use their powers safely). When the quarentine was broken, one of the children, presumably the one that would become Ember, lashed out, causing the injuries inflicted upon Kaleen.
