If you look at the design of the weapon it has a striking resemblance to some of the weapons already revealed by bungie in the rise of iron. The weapon has a advanced design with the wires and cables resembling the cables shown on new SIVA infused weaponry.
The main focus is the description of the weapon which reads,
"Subroutine IKELOS: status=complete.
MIDNIGHT EXIGENT: Status=still in progress."
As we all know the version of the weapon attained from completing the quest is the IKELOS which is listed as complete. The MIDNIGHT EXIGENT version of this weapon alludes to the weapon not being fully complete and the SIVA technology has been used to upgrade weapons already known to us.
This could mean that the MIDNIGHT EXIGENT version will be obtainable during the SIVA outbreak. I have not done any research into it but I looked for a post similar to this one on this app and nothing came up.
I am sure everyone has a million reasons and a whole load of evidence against this but if so comment so you can prove me wrong.

[b]Midnight[/b] [b]Exigent[/b] refers to the destruction/elimination of the Darkness, and any threat to Humanity. Because you received the Sleeper, Ikelos is complete. However, because the Darkness is not yet gone, Midnight Exigent is still in progress
