This line is associated with Commander Zavala from Bungie's Destiny series, where the character's measured voice made brief reactions especially memorable among players. Short Zavala quotes were clipped and reposted in gaming circles, then spread into broader meme editing because the delivery is so restrained and recognizable. The "Indeed" clip remains popular because it is instantly readable even out of context: one word, clear meaning, and a tone that can be sincere, ironic, or quietly dismissive depending on the edit.
