" If Helminth refers to Nidus as Master, might the infestation be how the Tenno betrayed the Orokin? "

One of the Operator lines during missions against the Infested states "Infestation - an Orokin weapon that backfired". Based on that, I suppose the Orokin somwhow created the infestation to help them during the Old War. Maybe 1) Nidus was created using infestation knowledge/tecnology or maybe 2) he was the original Infested weapon and the current Infestation is resultant from leftovers from the original research that went out of control.
