^ Haven't read the Stalker page have you? There's a reason the Orokin are no longer around and the Corpus tend to refer to the Tenno as "the Betrayers"...

Regarding the OP's theory, more likely they were just thoroughly burned out by their likely rather jarring and traumatic creation process and the whole presumably rather vicious Sentient war followed by the whole mess of, you know, basically tearing down the Orokin civilisation for reasons not yet elaborated upon. (Might just have been a grudge over being turned into a barely-human supersoldier and thrown into the grinder.) Probably didn't feel like trying to pick up the pieces or setting themselves up as Lord Humungus in high-tech spandex in the aftermath and instead just wanted to turn off the lights and forget all about it.

...which makes me think - who says the apparently cryo-induced memory loss (and the Tennos' personal transports' AIs "misplacing" memories of "the Old War") isn't intentional and premediated? The Stalker's accusation could certainly be interpreted like that - no idea why they apparently didn't set some kind of "alarm clock" on their pods though. Could even have been some kind of bizarre fatalism at work - "let the future generations wake me up if they so choose, I'm past caring."
