Huge credits to @sovenderegn for getting the normals/textures to work. This is Thrax's face.
*THIS* is what he looks like. Holy shit, I knew it was bad, but this has so many implications.
Lore theorizing hours.
That looks like a desiccated corpse, or a corpse in the process of desiccation, which makes me wonder if bacteria were able to survive on the Zariman post the timeline split. If they also counted as living things and were snapped off, then that would mean that all of the remaining corpses on the Zariman would not have decayed.
Which makes me wonder.
Is *that* why there's so much plant growth and water leakage across the entire ship? I theorized it was on purpose already, but this adds a whole new layer of fucked. Without bacteria, the plant life would be the only real option to break down the corpses. Hell, that may be why we don't see many if any on the ship.
It also means that likely, the only 'person' the drifter could imagine was the people they'd been seeing thus far, which would have been the scarred up, brutalized, broken corpses that remained. And thus Thrax needs whole ass life support armor just to keep living.
LIKE JESUS CHRIST NO WONDER HE PREFERRED MAKING DOLLS OVER ACTUAL IMAGINED FOLKS, AND ALSO JUST LIKE FORGOT THE WHOLE ZARIMAN THING

Super self-indulgent, but anyone can use these for any reason!! This includes anyone who HC's Zanka with hpd, anyone who has HPD and likes Zanka, anyone who identifies with or as Zanka and has HPD, introjects/fictives of Zanka that have HPD, anyone who thinks their identity or gender is affected by both their HPD and Zanka, so on so forth!!! Users unique and subjective interpretations are encouraged !!
So this is an interesting one that I've struggled to talk about for awhile but is quite interesting to me because it just seems to me to have some grander implications to it. Of course this being about Lappland's CN introduction.
Now it must be said that these CN introductions do hold some outdated information but also some information is the most we get on some topics or potentially spoiled future plot points. If that doesn't deter you then this could extrapolate on how Lappland came to join Rhodes Island and potentially a secret individual who's keeping tabs on her as well as has an interest in Red, possibly holding some implications on her background.
Continuing below:
This is the google translation of Lappland's CN introduction and immediately what's curious about it is the fact that Lappland's information was gotten through exchanging Projekt Red's. The question being 'Who could want Red's information?'
And I don't think it's information that Red has gathered. You see in one of the images that the information is labelled Red.zip and lower down is Lappland's voiceline about Red:
Another thing I want to mention about this is it's highly unlikely that this is Lappland herself exchanging this information. For one her voiceline here lacks any familiarity or real knowledge about Red. But our current lore, it's unlikely for Lappland to realistically know Red either or for anyone else to for that matter.
That's what's so curious about this: who could even know Red exists to want information on her?
So let's break this down some more:
This says records from three black squares. Now that's commonly how the HR Director is referred to but for example Red's files display both Kal'tsit and Ascalon's names being hidden behind black squares. That said them having access to Red's information to give should mean this source is a member of Rhodes Island and honestly probably someone in a high position.
Then assuming this is a member of Rhodes Island, they talk about Lappland's information like it's new to them. There's no recognition that she is already a member and it being "unexpected" probably would be less so if Lappland is a member already. As this is her introduction and her information, maybe it's possible this file is like the ones shown when you recruit an operator and this is or is a step in recruiting Lappland to Rhodes Island.
Then, similarly to how the person who exchanged Red's information had to be a member of Rhodes Island, whoever is exchanging Lappland's information would have to be in the position to and assuming this is or leads into her recruitment, who is a position to have her information or have her join Rhodes Island?
And so that's our information: who would be interested in Red's information and who could have Lappland's information or have her join Rhodes Island?
Who is this?
So as far as who would be interested in Projekt Red we really only have one person with any concrete evidence and that is Bernardo Bellone. It's actually confirmed in the text that Bernardo knows of Red and that she is a part of Rhodes Island:
He has the motivation to be keeping tabs on her as well, being a Fang he would be targeted by Red in the least and so should keep tracks of her whereabouts as well as Zaaro likely wanting to know the positions of the other Fangs.
However I think that this falls apart when it comes to Lappland because Bernardo has no hold over her. In theory he could gain the information on her but what good would it do to give to Rhodes Island? And assuming that her information leads to her joining he would have no power over that.
Also I don't think that Bernardo in his infinite ability to scheme ever considered Lappland to be one until she made her appearance in Il Siracusano and started making her own moves. As is pointed out:
The phrasing definitely implies that he didn't foresee Lappland's appearance in Volsinii and improvised so where he is the one character who would want information on Red that we know of, he realistically isn't who we're looking for.
So thinking about this from who could have information on Lappland and could in theory get her to join Rhodes Island, what are the options there?
Well once again we're only really left with one option. Sure Alberto could be one but he's been cut off from Lappland. No, the only person that it could be is Signora Sicilia. The Head of State for Siracusa and the Godmother.
To go back in time a bit. When Giuseppe Texas killed his Father Salvadore and declared independence from Sicilia's family system she ordered a purge on the Texas family. This would be the earliest point we know of Lappland working for her as she led the Saluzzo's on that day. Of course the events transpiring having her be exiled from the Saluzzo family.
We next see her in Code of Brawl. When Signora Sicilia has exiled the Sicilian family and it's revealed in Wolf and Wolfpack that she sent Lappland to deal with them. Later in Il Siracusano it's revealed that Sicilia invited Lappland to join the Bocca al Lupo, her own elite force although Lappland refuses.
As Code of Brawl was one of the earliest events and Sicilia is mentioned by name then it can be assumed she was planned early on. She's also the only character who has any semblance of control over Lappland and who would have information on her. For example look at Lappland's archive 4:
Rhodes Island gained from a similarly classified source information about Lappland. However this isn't about anything she's done but the dangers of working with her and alludes to knowing her past and her quite well.
The previous Archive File mentions random reports and eyewitness accounts. It has an classified log from Kal'tsit and for fun, in one of Suzuran's files we're alerted that she and Lappland have history. This log is very different from all of them but not necessarily the one from the CN Introduction.
Further to this, at the end of Wolf and Wolfpack a representative of Signora Sicilia meets with the Rat King after the events of Code of Brawl with the Sicilians and Lappland in this event itself. One part is of note:
Signora Sicilia is expressly keeping an eye on the both of them, likely doubly so with Lappland. It's strange then that she would be fine with Lappland joining Rhodes Island, travelling all across Terra and being somewhere she realistically wouldn't have eyes.
However if this is her than it can be assumed that either she got what she wanted out of the deal which is this itself or there are more to the deal. Perhaps Rhodes has been given express orders similar to the Rat King in exchange for having Lappland join. Or the simple fact that Lappland suffers from Oripathy and so Sicilia wants to protect this asset of hers.
Regardless it's very probable to me that she knows Lappland joined Rhodes Island and that there may be more to this than we're led to believe.
So then. Regardless of the extent of this, I do feel Sicilia is the most likely person to have Lappland's information and exchange it with Rhodes. But that's just one side of the equation. What about Projekt Red? Why would Sicilia want information on her? Is there anything that backs that up?
There's no evidence that Sicilia is interested in Red. However Sicilia in the least knows about the Signori's game:
So on one hand she may just be keeping tabs on the Signore dei Lupi's game and somehow learnt of Red being on Rhodes Island. But I'm unsure about that. She doesn't mention Bernardo being a Fang, focusing on his beliefs and actions. She doesn't address Lunacub either or make any mention besides on the Signori.
She kind of dismisses the Signori although Emperor says she would have acted but let him do it. Regardless she didn't stop Bernardo nor make any comment on him being a Fang so I'm unsure if she's actually keeping tabs on Red because of it, especially considering how little Red could even effect the order of Siracusa.
Conclusion
It's unknown whether we can expect this to be a plot point or say recycled into a similar plot point that will appear later in the Siracusa story. I do think Sicilia is the most likely person for both Lappland's CN introduction and Archive File 4 however, regardless if the CN introduction is relevant still.
As for Sicilia and Red, who knows really. Red's past is very unknown but if you consider the effect that Texas had on Siracusa when she left, becoming a myth, and the importance of families in Siracusa it's very possible that Red might be a significant person. That or Red made an impact before she joined Rhodes Island.
Realistically I feel there is nothing in this. That Red's past could very well be important but Sicilia caring? I can't see it based on the information that we have at present but the possibility is there.
And Sicilia and Lappland's relationship is very interesting and I'll take any chance to talk about Siracusa so thank you for reading!

In his time in the human world Gammamon's ate, and enjoyed various kinds of food, and though he's shown to like most flavors and kinds, one is uniquely, reacurringly, despised by him
Spiciness, even less hot spicy foods, like pepper seems to have a effect on him, as shown in episode 23, and going as far as to refer to it as "scary"
The exact reason for this could simply be just Gammamon's preference, but some have theorized otherwise, and after noticing something I think there may be more to it as well.
What if GulusGammamon ate spicy foods, which effected Gammamon's preference, that might seem random though, I mean, it's not like Gulus has been seen eating anything spicy, or, like, fire or anything, hahaha-
Oh, OH, yeah, he did eat practical fire, and seems to be relatively satisfied with his meal, granted, it is color, technically, but i mean, look at it, it is almost certainly at least hot.
I realize this is a tad late, but I had the realization a bit ago, and decided to made enough sense to write out, it'll be interesting to see if it gets proved, and if it doesn't get disproved it'll probably be my headcanon.
