DJ_Redwire Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) My theory is a little out there but here goes: When we look back to the time of the Orokin, we know that the Sentients had the ability to take weapons the Orokin were using against them and reformat them to use back against the Orokin. We also know that the Tenno were the downfall of not only the Sentients during the war, but also later dispatched the Orokin for reasons unknown. The Sentients couldn't apparently fight the Tenno, to which the reason that has been hinted at because for some reason the Sentients couldn't "corrupt" the Tenno and use them against the Orokin. My belief is that they eventually did. Now, IF the Sentients were an AI race of beings, which I've always believed they were, I believe they managed to plan and calculate their own existence so well, that they even predicted their own death once the Tenno entered the battlefield. Then they devised a plan to destroy the Orokin even after they had been defeated, and perhaps they even wanted to be defeated in order to move their fail-safe plans into place. So here's the radical idea: What if the Lotus is the last Sentient? Why would I ask this? Because it may have been that the Sentients put all their last hopes into a single AI that could interface with the Tenno, thus being able to control them, and then ordered them to kill the Orokin. The plan would have only worked however as long as the Orokin believed they had won the war and were safe, so that they would all gather in one place at one time (Stalker's codex entry) so the Lotus could execute them.

ArturiaFayth Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 While i kinda like that idea redwire, it also poses the question of how the sentient managed to elude the orokin and the tenno into believing that while at the same time hiding the fact that Lotus is not of orokin grounds but of sentient ground. Until we can get the time-line properly with all the events ( and a lot more info on the lore... ) we can't know for sure. Heck, in the recent quest with the infested, that grineer researcher blames the tenno for releasing the infested that the grineer where working on while the fault probably lies with the grineer themselves. Maybe the stalker released them, but for what purpose then? The infested would only destroy the universe as we know it. Before i get side-tracked again (which happens a lot, trust me on that. ) let me finish in saying that Lotus, with the information we have of her as of now is most likely an orokin project or being that is created as a sort of protector, councelor and probably the mother-ish person for the tenno.

TrickyBoomBoom Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The Lotus is a really a crossdressing 300lb dude masquerading as a Tenno masquerading as an AI that really runs a fast food chain. All those Tenno we rescue daily? Tennoburgers for the masses. Tastes like chicken. Greedy milk with your ordis...oops i mean order... sir? No reeeeaaaallly its DE Rebecca being awesome as usual ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IfritKajiTora Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Lotus is just pressing one button to automaticly show us video that she is talking to us XD.Or she programmed a bot which auto show us video with her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloan441 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 The consensus is she's an AI for some sort. This would certainly fit in with what we know of Orokin tech and predilections. I personally suspect she is related to the tenno somehow, but with very extensive AI support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryme Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 She's actually a pony who uses FaceRig (http://store.steampowered.com/app/274920/) to make you think she's human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHIR0B0N Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Didn't the devs say there will eventually be a mission where you see the Lotus in person...? I'll be waiting for that.... And then when I finally get to see her in person, I'll be like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fretless Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Remember when Lotus' transmissions were indistinguishable from a normal human? Giving you information and encouraging you through your missions. And then her voice transitioned into that of an alien machine, revealing her true self.

S0ulre4per Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 there once was a similar post. discussion was about - is she or is she not an A.I. I think that even DE doesnt know what she is......because when they decide, her character can go in 2 directions i would be dissapointed if she is an A.I. and also i would be dissapointed that she in NOT an A.I. lose/lose situation here buuut im still sticking that she is A.I. because she functions like 1.

(PSN)ELIT3_EXP3RT-01 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Considering the trans-humanism that saturates Warframe, it's likely that Lotus is originally human but with additions to make her job more feasible. She may be linked to Command and Control AIs that interlink via that headgear she wears. This would partially explain how she's able to keep track of all the Tenno, what's going on in the system, and what comes on at eight pm on channel four. She might just be a Tenno too, powering all her equipment with that inherent energy Tenno put out. Some folks call that energy Void magic, but I prefer trans dimensional vorticity manifold Einstein-Rosenburg bridge self-collapsing inertia, with a twist. Agreed.

blasron Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 well in a dev stream they said that you could escort her to do a job (hacking, spying ect) but then even the dev did not know what she could be (i think megan) said she would be a drone but then (steve or goef i dont remember) said other wise. All we know is that she is there and she is not a enemies what is she well one day we will know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakatchi Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Considering she can contact us at any time she feels like it, its really like we're a hive mind of some sort and shes the queen pulling the strings. Considering theres head cannons of Tenno bascily being smart infested this seems to make some sense, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WingedCrusade Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Well, there's TOO many tennos to command isn't it XD.... It's too much....Unless she's using pre-recorded messages. But I doubt she can do that for all different situations either (Stalker, G3, Zanuka, 'change of plan' whatever....) Well, I am not sure about this either XD It's speculated that Tenno have a Hivemind, which are why they're so prone to know what happens to their fellow Tenno without being able to actually see them, since they can't see anyway. The question is how Lotus is able to tap into that, but I'm assuming it has to do with the large Cerebro-esque dome background behind her. Considering she can contact us at any time she feels like it, its really like we're a hive mind of some sort and shes the queen pulling the strings. Considering theres head cannons of Tenno bascily being smart infested this seems to make some sense, (Dammit, I was late to the party! Argh!)
