Trigger for getting this?

Last time I went looking for this it took weeks of hacking. This time around I got in pretty quickly. Looking at the item description, I have a theory about the trigger. The key bit is:

This database seems to be a study on the same language you saw on the ancient document you intercepted heading to Midgard.

I think my mistake last time might have been to use ancient notes and the yellowing map I had lying around in my inventory from previous runs without having actually rerouted the shipment and seeing that it was intended for Midgard in my current run. So, I suspect the non-painful way to do this would be to first reroute both the notes and map (only one or the other might be necessary), saving level 6 sites for later. Then use both the notes and the map. (Dunno if only one is necessary or, if both are necessary, whether order matters.) Then, and only then, start looking at level 6 sites for the mysteriously language database.

you can't feed this to the Midgard Player

So I've spent days trying to find one of these, with no success. But tonight Crypto mentioned in chat that he got one (first try!) from Awesome Antiques and Memories. So he added it to his network, and then I targeted him with an unstable integrator to grab the link to the site, and got a mysterious database for myself very painlessly. Really nice use for network integrators here. Major thanks to Crypto for coordinating!

So if anyone else wants to pick up Lotus Map, it might be worth it to use an unstable integrator on me. I only have 4 sites in my network so you're virtually guaranteed to get the right link. (Alternatively, access node for my gang.) It's ZD's all the way up so I didn't have any alert on the system by the time that I got control. (Let's try to limit this to 1 hidden file per person so that it doesn't go out of business anytime soon.)

This is something I said we should do last year, glad it worked. Going to need to use that access node tomorrow.

Finally got this again this time around. The particular site was The Ready HAFH, and it was again a site that contained footage of people sneaking into the museum:

It seems the owner's friends have made a game of sneaking into the art museum after hours and popping Eclipse, then seeing how long they can stand to stay. There are dozens of videos to that extent, so you queue one up to see what's gotten them so riled.

The video moves through the museum, finally stopping to point into a dark corner. The cameraperson mutters "staring back at me, staring back…" then screams and drops their comm on the way out.

The videos are all pretty intense, but the same people seem to keep going back.

I got the database on the first scan of files, but managed to get the above result as well before getting kicked off.
