I'm under the impression that the Lotus *was* real in a sense; an independent personality born of a gestalt between Natah and an imprint of Margulis contained within the Lotus mask, which Ballas doubtless had expected to override Natah's mind as a sort of Continuity in order to bring her back. There are several lines of dialogue in which Lotus denies being both Natah *and* Margulis, even in the Apostasy prologue she tells Ballas outright "I am not who you think I am" before he disconnects her from the helmet and continues acting like she's Margulis anyway.
