Greetings, Hans here!
There are news regarding our last meeting that needs to be shared. Due to its...sensitivity, I did not want to talk about this in front of everyone. So I figured moving the topic to my official inbox would be a better move.
Long story short: We talked about the Sentinels, and their connection to Harbinger. About their nature, their evolution and all that. Turns out, the aforementioned news could give us insight in that regard. Under Harbinger's knout, I spent months on Gaia on an ominous mission to catalogue various species there. Our common "friend" showed fascination in a certain deep-sea creature. A blue-violet Opisthobranchia capable of bioluminiscence and other remarkable abilities. The file attached is an imagine of that critter.
Specimen V972
From all the species analysed, this one's genetic properties piqued his interest the most. Wouldn't say why, and frankly, I did not care about more than getting out of this mess with my hide intact. But during the meeting, it dawned on me. The look of this animal reminded me of something...wouldn't you agree?
Although the implications of my actions would be horrifying, I do believe that the data collected on this trip stand in direct connection with the recent evolution of the Sentinels and Harbinger. And this circumstance *might* reveal information advantageous to the cause.
There still is a physical copy of the entire data collection from that operation, hidden in a secret stash. No idea if my dear former employer caught wind of its existence. But if so, he has no clue where it is hidden. Right after the latest mental check-in through the crystal, I hid the copy, made a note for later and wiped my short-term memory clean to avoid suspicion. Good ol' alcohol; humanity's best friend. And since I am still breathing, it seems like it worked well enough.
Retrieving it might take a while though. Not going into details why and where, of course. Harbinger has his ears, eyes and tentacles everywhere, after all. But once I got it, I'll make sure to find a safe way of handing the data to Aux.
Sincerely,
Hans.

An excellent document, though I must really-really-really stress great caution. He was keen on keeping this information buried in the past. There are merits to such anger, and I agree on the notion that this data under no circumstance, be shared. We do not want to give the Order the trump card to exterminating their kind.
Have you spoken to Katherine Pennybroke - known as the Herald? She previously mentioned she found Harbinger in a distant-dream like state once in Galileo, surrounded by smaller forms. There's still plenty of speculation as to what is going on. It is entirely possible he is controlling them. Or perhaps, even vice versa, where he has looked too deep for his own curiosity and become compromised.
No less.
Very concerning.
