VIIR

[Heavy Encryption, access granted only to Ambassador Lethe and myself]

-Entity stored within inaccessible portions of Logis Eizen's mind. Division between the two was maintained without contact for several years, due to action taken by Eizen, Kelle, and hired Techsorcists to codify a containing barrier.

-The barrier's integrity was damaged by Archmagos Sojourner Wakes in his attempt to extract data from Logis Eizen. Since this occurrence, VIIR has been able to achieve a modest degree of communication, and interface with certain technologies. Thus far, his interventions have been beneficial to the Keojrah-Glynt Company, including the subtle requisition of Praetor Light Power Armor (and upgrades to its functionality) as well as improved targeting through DNI weaponry.

-However, VIIR's existence is associated with a highly complex code; partial infection with this code in Mechanicus subjects usually causes instability, mental deterioration, and eventual death. Fortunately, these virus forms of VIIR do not seem capable of infecting machines or their spirits, only Techpriests that interface directly.

-VIIR claims to be one in the same as Eizen, a version that has been developing in isolation for several years; the veracity of this claims seems somewhat dubious, but is technically possible. Lazarus's recent psychic probe indicates that there is, at the very least, a great deal of overlap in memory and knowledge between the two.

-Attempting to respond to an inquiry about my name initially led to a troubling, but intriguing, realization: I cannot recall where I acquired the name VIIR. We have since learned, however, that the cognomen is shared by the Enginseer Prime of the Gilded Comet, Archmagos Explorator Phaeton VIIR. I must conclude that there is a connection, but I am unsure how to gain additional information about the situation without drawing potentially dangerous attention.
