Report of Bypass Authority Berriole, OS-I6 6, for Owl Sector records, assigned to incident TRANSMISSION.

Shun, Quist, you've gone silent and I don't know why. I am alarmed, but in the absence of updated orders, I am remaining on site to finish extracting the Shirazi logs. I hope that you and the City remain in good health.

Patient A appears to be walking two inches above the ground. It is unclear why this has happened. The soles of her feet have turned blue. She is alarmed and delighted by turn. This of course complicates our strength tests.

Thats officially the only one i want...

This isn't what they are, but the simplest way to describe them is a '00' and '88'. These symbols have been appearing on terminal and computer screen concept art since before the game released.

Not everyone would notice or realize the consistency/stylization guidance utilized

I can see them now. Blue beadlike or beelike particles swarming around Patient A's head. I wonder what took me so long.

This effect was not intentional. We directed the nanoparticles to strengthen the subject's immune system, reinforce skeletons, exoskeletons, joints, and musculature, and accelerate synapse and logic board signaling. This should all have been invisible and internal. What does it mean?

And from Splendor 2.6:

Patient C reports yellow artifacts on the edge of her vision but remains excited about the potential of this project. She argued for taking strength and intelligence tests three times a day rather than daily. I saw no harm in this. There were clear improvements in her performance six hours after injection, in line with results from the other conscious patients.

This innovative therapy holds great promise for our colonization program. We can cut years off the construction timetable of a city. We can reduce the decompression and adjustment period of new colonists. This is a world-changing study, and I am glad to have such a motivated subject.

So... some kind of all around nanotechnology booster? But why inject people or whatever? Do Frames or Exos not exist? Maybe not Exos yet (as my theory has them being pushed into development to combat a Vex incursion on Venus later on) but surely Frames by this point.

Tech mites may be precursors to the SIVA type nanotechnology. Designed for specific tasks like the spin metal colonies, but in this case they seem to increase the player's aggression. So military? A psy-ops type weapon?

I feel a bit dumb for taking so long to notice but:

Glory 2.1 - White - Common
Brilliance 3.2 - Green - Uncommon
Magnificence 2.0 - Blue - Rare
Fortitude 3.1 Purple - Legendary
Splendor 2.6 - Gold - Exotic

Once again, it's been said that SIVA and engrams technology are closely linked and these tech mites just happen to line up with engrams color?!

So we all know that Destiny (and basically every other loot game ever) completely ripped off World of Warcraft's loot color table, right? Well guess what, WoW had one tier of loot originally planned... Artifacts. and they were RED.

And what color is SIVA? RED!!!11!!1

GET HYPED FOR RED ENGRAMS!

(Also put on your tinfoil hats because we've had no confirmation at all that there would be red engrams)

Glory 2.1 - White - Common
Brilliance 3.2 - Green - Uncommon
Magnificence 2.0 - Blue - Rare
Fortitude 3.1 Purple - Legendary
Splendor 2.6 - Gold - Exotic

Once again, it's been said that SIVA and engrams technology are closely linked and these tech mites just happen to line up with engrams color?!

Owl Sector Debrief to Ikora Rey, OS-I6 4

SHU: Have you seen this?

Z. SHIRAZI CB-PZ-1.5
Patient E, Jun, has been uncooperative. Laughed unpleasantly when I told him he would receive Glory 2.1.

"You're running prototypes in parallel because it's cheaper and faster," he said. "No ethics board on Earth would approve. But I don't have a choice. I’m neck-deep in debt to Clovis Bray."

I wish we had tweaked these elixirs to modify disposition.

IR: You wished to introduce me to your Golden Age analogue?
SHU: Ha. Ha. No, I thought you'd be interested in Jun. This kind of coercion isn't a known Clovis Bray practice.
IR: Not in the books you read, perhaps.
SHU: But it's in the record?
IR: It's in the record.

We in fact do have at least one other record of Clovis Bray coercing someone who is in debt to them. From Cadye-6's notes in Treasure Island:

Afterwards, fuming. Clovis Bray sends me a bill for the hull damage. My fault the target put a blast wall between us. My fault thugs went wrong and we had to let our rifles do the talking.

(Next page)

I tear the packet open. Tattered prices of the envelope drift to the floor.

Surprise. It's not just a bill. There's a job offer tucked in. Seems old Bray's been looking for someone like me. Willing to forgive my debt, and not just for the orbital station.
All of it.

Suddenly, I ain't so mad anymore.

Clovis Bray, the mega corp, and the various members of the Bray family had their hands in a lot of things. Interestingly, their influence seems extend all way from the Golden Age, where Willa Bray helped develope engram technology, to even as recent as the battle of Twilight Gap where Ana Bray fought as a Hunter. Is that just luck or fate, or did the Bray family somehow manage to exert influence beyond the collapse of the Golden Age?
