As Phi and Ariel sifted through the lingering data on the Circle of Hell's remaining computers, they'd find a number of mysterious files, files that referred to various prisoners that used to be on board. One of the prisoners was Harald Bjornsson, the last of a group of conspirators who had briefly taken portions of Earth itself in a failed 'coup' against Emmanuel, a coup which had been squashed by Alexander Kherol himself after a few days. Harald had escaped from the ship to the wilds of Plenty and was suspected of having found refuge among the rebellious farmers there. Harald was not affiliated with Moonstrike, as far as the people on the ship knew, and in fact been recorded as saying, [i]I've never heard of them until the Arcturus Incident - And even that was less flashy than anything we did...[/i]

There was also a file indicating previous 'test subjects' held in the Prison Ship, as well as medical reports by one 'Dr. Truman' hinting that some of those test subjects had been involved in an Ascendancy Sub-Project under his purview. Dr. Truman, when pressed further, had told them to, [i]Do your jobs. Just know that if anything happens to these kids after I took the trouble to wrangle them, it's on you.[/i] 

Many of those test subjects had disappeared months before the Circle of Hell had crashed, vanishing into a mysterious destination known as 'Aphrodite'. 

They also found references to a parallel Hybridization Project, one which was not related to the Star Marines as far as they knew. Rather, it involved the Zvezed, Amy's species. But this file was corrupted, although it was clear that it belonged to some sort of OSI Special Forces who had tried to defect to Moonstrike but had been captured before making good on his intentions. This former Special Forces member had ranted and raved about a 'den of madness, heart of darkness', before clawing his own throat out. No-one stopped his suicide.

And finally, they found an over-exact list of 'missing' ships, ground vehicles, artillery, and personal equipment. This was what had proven Realist's treason to the Ascendancy authorities, and the whistleblower had been rewarded with early retirement and a generous pension. But Phi and Ariel, after digging further, would find that the thefts continued at a slower rate, with high-quality equipment vanishing from Ascendancy arsenals in small enough numbers to avoid suspicon.

In short, there was a storehouse of potentially vital information in the Circle of Hell's files, information which waited only for analysis...
