Our Tenno seems collected at the end of a second dream—even after having regained their memories— and Tenno have been shown to engage in philosophy through endeavors like the Arbiters of Hexis. If we were in such a state at the collapse of the Orokin, then we certainly committed a sin. But if as you suggest, we were unable to reason, then there is certainly more of a case for our innocence. It might be argued as such given that the Tenno did seem to have defined castes at the end of the war, and one of which was an intellectual school of thought—and philosophy usually requires a pretty high degree of sapience— but frankly it’s hard to tell. In general, I’m more a fan of the Lotus theory. I think it follows to a greater degree than either a justified or a hateful slaughter of the Orokin. The, “final sequence,” line. The, “why couldn’t you finish the last,” bit from Hunhow. Both seem to imply more to her task. It also would nicely fit into her mothering narrative. If she saw the messed up treatment of the Tenno, she would have naturally wanted to free them—albeit through her manipulative techniques. Anyhow I hope we get more hints on the slaughter from the codex entries. It certainly is one of the more interesting bits of contention in the lore right now.
