Sleeper Simulant RFC (Destiny)

So, I understand to get the Sleeper Simulant one must turn in 4 DVALIK fusion rifles to the gunsmith, these are random drops from various planets. Then on the 7th of the month there will be a new mission (The First Firewall) which, when completed, will begin the quest.

Am I missing any pertinent info?
Do I have to be a certain rank w/ the gunsmith?
Do the DVALIC drops happen once from each planet (one from Earth, Venus, Mars, & Moon each?)
I can't find a way to tell how many DVALIC's I've found, is there a way I can divine this info? Do they grant gunsmith rep when turned in? I haven't done much gunsmith testing (like, only a couple weapons on week 1) so I'm still rank 1 at 924 exp.

I would like to get this gun this month and recognize time is getting short for me as I only play a couple nights a week...
