Hey, we have this week's update, with apologies to those who are having issues getting into the quest.
To start we have the text when you examine the first piece:
GEMINI -XG CORE
RESPONSIBLE FOR HIGHER FUNCTIONS AND MEMORY, ETCHINGS IDENTIFY AS "XG" TYPE, OF WHICH THERE ARE NO RECORDS.
EVIDENTLY ONE HALF IN A RARE GEMINI CONFIGURATION, IT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED A RESONANT TWIN CORE TO FUNCTION.HOLDS A COMPLEX CRYSTAL MATRIX AT NANOSCALE. ANY COMPROMISE OF HOUSING WOULD INSTANTLY REDUCE SAID MATRIX TO DUST - UNIT IS VERY TOUGH ON THE OUTSIDE, AND GOSSAMER ON THE INSIDE. CASING APPEARS INTACT.
And here's the new transcript, a bit less mysterious this time.
Chapter One: "The Cranky Clown"
So we had this meeting in the labra - lavri - the... place where you go to the bathroom. That's 'cause at the Paradise Lounge, we don't do "private rooms". Here, we believe in being social... connecting with people... coming together as humans. Look, the point is....
... I'M CRANKY
Mirage: "What? Yeah. No. Am not... what do you know?"
Wraith: "More than you might think."
Mirage: "Here it comes. 189 Reasons why all the versions of myself are bummed out."
...I say as I hand Wraith her Appletini. (I know, right? I would totally make fun of her too, but I saw what happened to the last guy, and I like the idea of having kids one day, so I'll stick with my poker face, thanks.)
Wraith: "Only need one reason. It bothers you that Loba knows your Mom's secret."
And that's when it hits me. It bothers me that Loba knows Mom's secret!
Lifeline: "She knew 'bout my parents, too. More'n that, she knows how I feel 'bout 'em, and I don' go spreadin' that. I think she got dirt on all of us."
Caustic: "She is similarly aware of the allegations against me - all patently false and absurd, of course. That these cretins continue to mistake me for a corpse is preposterous!"
Octane: "And what's she gonna do for me, huh? Help me run faster? (Ey... can she do that?)"
Bangalore: "Bunch of marks. All of you."
...Bangalore says, as she spits onto the floor that I-- that someone will have to clean later.
Bangalore: "She bats her eyelashes, and you all fall in line. Advancing into unknown territories to obtain some trinket - we don't even know what this hunk of junk is."
Crypto: "I've been studying it, and it looks like it's encasing a matrix, but it needs its other half to fully--"
Bangalore: "That wasn't a question. Only reason I went to that awful place was to make sure none of you ended up in a bodybag... or as Caustic's latest experiment. No, instead we get to be Loba's little errand boys."
"I don't know about all of you, but I didn't sign up to take orders from some two-bit thief when I signed my Legends contract. If the IMC was still running the show, she'd be halfway to the brig by 0-500."
Wraith: "So what's the plan? We walk away?"
Bangalore: "Then we're more in the dark than before. For now, follow her lead... but we do our own private reconnaissance."
"She's not telling us everything. I overheard her talking to someone named Yoko at Hammond Robotics... about a meeting Loba had with the higher-ups there."
Octane: "Yo, I've got a date with a girl named Yoko from Hammond. Think they know each other?"
Wow, room got real quiet after that one. And Lifeline's about two decibels too high when she says--
Lifeline: "A date? G'wan wit'cha. Does this girl know what she's gettin' herself into?"
Bangalore cuts in, which is annoying, because hi, you had your turn, and we want to see Lifeline kick Octane's butt now, but sure, Bangalore, your thing is important too, I guess."
Bangalore: "Octane, you know this girl?"
Octane: "She asked if I wanted to get a drink. I was thirsty and said sure, but she meant tomorrow. I mean, I'll be thirsty tomorrow too. But I don't know, man. She wants me to wait for things. Like, wait? Just... around?"
Lifeline: "Yuh NOT goin' on this date. Girl doesn' deserve attitude like that."
Bangalore: "Yes, he IS going. Never turn good intel down, and right now, your boy's our only way to get out hands on some."
"Octane, we need you to find out what this meeting between Loba and Hammond was all about. And I need proof, so she can't deny the whole thing. Anything they've got."
Lifeline: "Yuh gonna let this poor girl sit through the torture if this date for intel?"
Octane: "SHE'S tortured?! I have to wear PANTS!"
I look to Wraith who's watching Octane get bounced back and forth between Bangalore and Lifeline like a ping pong ball. She turns to me, shaking her head.
Wraith: "And you think I'M intense?"
I know better than to answer that question, so I say...
Mirage: "I know better than to answer that question."
But Wraith has a point. I've never seen Bangs this worked up. If I were Loba Andrade? I'd be shaking in my thigh-highs. Because right now, I know two things: Bangalore won't stop until she's sent Loba Andrade packing...
...and nights like this are TOTALLY why I bought a bar!

Not much lore there other than what’s explicitly stated.
Lifeline X Octane seems likely though.

Hey, theory time. I'm guessing that Hammond is going to be involved a lot. I get the feeling that they're either going to try and cover up something that Octane finds out when Yoko or whatever is wasted. Octane learns something, he tells the other legends, Hammond's like "ahahahahahahahahahah you're all dead" and they send revenant after them or something. Sort of like a "Revenant Kills the Apex Universe" but hey, that's just a theory. A GAME THEORY AHAHHAH.

This Yoko maybe the "smarty pants" from the previous episode and invited octane to a drink to pump him for information like Bangalore wants him to do to her. But octane doesnt have the best attention span or the best choice for undercover ops. She may find him the most gullible and easily influenced of the legends.
Afterward she gives revenant the information (this may tie in to the theories I posted on page three I think.) After the prologue octane goes on his date and inadvertently spills everything. Having talked about the legends she may know enough to respond as they would.
As for the artifact. Something to do with a simulacrum, it may be a copy of the other revenant that theyr studying to destroy their revenant in some way. Or perhaps create a sort of clone that isn't as hostile but capable to fight on the legends side. And my final theory for this chapter perhaps it ash from titanfall 2 or at least that dimensions version. We have no proof as is actually completely destroyed, simulacrums having multiple bodies at their disposal. In any case I think were building a simulacrum.

@DK9027They could maybe throw Revenant in the alternate dimension, but it seems like it'd be better to just kill him. (A. How would it work if Revenant died in the other dimension? His head is still in this dimension, so it seems like he'd just respawn like normal. (B. If he's in the other dimension, he and the other Revenant may work together, which is not good. (C. If they are going to just toss him in there, they could, so why are they taking the trouble to find the artifact?
Yoko could be getting information from Octane, but why? As far as we know, she isn't aware that the legends are planning anything, since they would've kept the meeting secret from an unrelated outsider who had nothing to do with them. If she knew what the legends were planning, why would she need to trick Octane?
Plus, it is heavily implied that it's one of the legends who wrote the message, plus I doubt Octane could/would relay every detail of the meeting to her afterwards. He might not be able to, since he is so hyperactive he probably didn't pay that much attention in the meeting or forgot a lot of the stuff afterwards, and/or he wouldn't because the meeting contained a lot of sensitive stuff for quite a few legends.
It's not like he'd be seduced either, as Octane doesn't seem like a romantic character, and he didn't think of it as a date. He's just like, "Oh, she wants to get water with me. Ok."
