Though Ram Tah has been suspiciously quiet for a long time. As the “Guardian Guru” it might be him?
Edit: however I’m still pondering if FD may be playing a blinder on us and “man of science” actually means “man made by science” - an AI from the Thunderchild/Sarasvati/Equinox storyline that fizzled out.
Afterthought:
The Sarasvati logs talk of “Gail” as in
“…Communication Source Identified: Gail…
…Designation: Project Thunderchild Unit 01…”
& message sent by Julian Lyons said
“Unit 01. If you're receiving this, then I've got good news and bad news. The good news is the contingency worked.
The bad news is the contigency was necessary.
Before everything ended, Dr Lockhart from Project Equinox managed to track me down; all the data in this archive, all their findings... you're going to need it for what comes ahead. The whole Galaxy is going to need it in all likelihood, by the time you've gotten this message, me, Izzy, and the rest of the Thunderchild team will be long gone. And I'm sorry, I truly am. We've given you an enormous responsibility, one you never asked for.
Listen, we all make mistakes. I'm not going to pretend that the cooperative didn't collapse for a reson. We watched the hopes and dreams of generations before us crumble in the face of political infighting in the decades following the war. But out of everything we got wrong, out of all our failures, you weren't one of them.
Whatever happens, I'm proud of you. We all are.”
Wikipedia says Gail is both a masculine and feminine given name!!
So Gail is Thunderchild unit 01, a very long lived (beyond human lifetime, and possibly male) anti-Thargoid AI built by the Thunderchild team which was led by Julian Lyons!
