Ok so let me see if I have this right:

- According to Excal Prime lore, the Tenno were CREATED by the Orokin.

- According to Stalker's lore, were won the war for the Orokin, then betrayed them.

- According to this new Natah quest, Lotus is a Sentient who basically gave the order to kill said Orokin.

If this is all correct, then it also brings a few other truths into focus.

- Either the Lotus was impersonating an Orokin, or else the Tenno willingly switched sides to join her after the war was won.

- If the Lotus is a Sentient, then either A) Sentients can project any visage of themselves they want or B) Sentients are human(ish). Based on Natah, it seems the former is more likely.

- If the Tenno weren't just straight-up tricked by the Lotus (i.e. not just impersonating an Orokin) then we have to wonder WHY the Tenno would ever agree to side with a Sentient against the Orokin? Tenno are beings of energy - as seen in Conclave (Oro) - so there is no reason to think Tenno would have any preference to any specific physical form. However, the Orokin created them, and the Orokin had just defeated the Sentients in a war. Why would Tenno willingly side with the losers against their own creators?

- If they were just straight-up tricked, then why the hell are the Tenno still following her? I mean it's awesome that she saved them and all that, and I'm not suggesting they should kill her or anything, but if this is true, how could the Tenno ever trust her? She is throwing them into constant life-or-death situations. It makes no sense that they would continue to fight for the brtrayer-in-chief once they knew.

Anyhow...as someone else said, more questions than answers here, really.
