^I kinda have to agree with anon here. The lore implies it takes place during the time when the orokin were still alive, and hints that cloning was taking place. We know that there were civilizations under the Orokin at the time, probably more humanlike and less transcendent with technology. They were probably deployed through mass cloning as the first defense against the sentients, and it seems the grineer or pre-grineer fellow dug up a sentient artifact or something. He says himself that they are not Orokin as they are not gold.

Either he dug something up or there was a sentient simply watching him and eventually started attacking, probably with more than just itself.
