Prodigal Armor Set Lore (Forsaken)

I think I found something in the flavor text of the (forsaken) Prodigal set of armor, it's not much but its a bit of insight on how the Awoken felt about Uldren and a little bit of other information that could probably be interpreted many ways since this just flavor text, not lore tabs, but it is interesting nonetheless. (also if you're wondering how I found this I was looking at the [url=https://destinysets.com/collections]collections tab on destinysets.com[/url] and decided to look at the prodigal gear and saw some of the technobabble that's usually a secret code so I investigated) this may be only slight spoilers or none at all to some but I'm still going to mark the rest as spoilers. [spoiler]so I'm going in order of what I think is chronological 1) the flavor text of the helmet "There's a new player over on the Shore. He calls himself 'Crow.' As if trying to rub our prince's death in our faces." —Report from Paladin Hallam Fen, what I get from that is that even by the time Uldren got to the Tangled Shore almost 3 years after the Taken War they still don't know that he crashed on mars and survived. (note: I say 3 years because Bungie and the lore says time moves in destiny at the same time as real life) 2) the flavor text of the arms "The Reef grieves for Uldren Sov, lost in the Taken War. He will be remembered as a voice for peace." —Paladin Devi Cassl, all this does is basically confirm what we said before but it does also tell us they thought of Uldren as a voice of peace. 3) the flavor text of the chest piece "Petra Venj, I formally request that you take the Queenship." —Paladin Leona Bryl, the only thing I can find is that the Queenship is still in working condition which means the ship that the Queen took in the Taken War was not the Queenship which seems a bit odd but isn't necessarily a retcon (note: this and the next piece are used to establish the chronological order/my guess at chronological order). 4) the flavor text of the boots "Regent-Commander Petra Venj, if you take the Queenship, I will take my fleet and leave." —Paladin Kamala Rior, I'm getting 2 things from this 1: there's some fighting/conflict among the paladins seeing as one paladin wants Petra to take the Queenship and the other is threatening to leave and take a good chunk of the Awoken's defenses with her if she does. 2: this one is more of an assumption/opinion but logically the chest piece and the pieces before it should come first chronologically and the legs and after should come second chronologically because "I formally request that you take the Queenship" being first then "if you take the Queenship I will leave and take your defenses with me" being second makes more sense than "if you take the Queenship I will leave and take your defenses with me" coming first then "I formally request that you take the Queenship" coming second. 5) last but certainly not least and the thing that started my little investigation off is the flavor text of the class item "It's from 'Paladin Oran.' 'Use less data, route electron notices forward over Uranus-Neptune divide." —Paladin Hallam Fen, if you've been paying attention to the lore and story community in the last month or 2 you'd know that every time (at least I think every time) Paladin Oran is mentioned its followed by technobabble where the first letter of every word forms a hidden message and if you have a keen eye you'd notice that there is another one of those messages here and it says "Uldren found" this seems pretty clear-cut, but what doesn't make much sense to me is that the Awoken put it in a secret code, and I genuinely can't think of a reason for them to have used this code but if you have any ideas let me know.(note: this was sent by the same person who sent the first message about someone named Crow showing up in the Shore)[/spoiler] But that's all I got so please tell me your interpretations and ideas down below, also if anything was unclear or didn't make much sense please let me know so I can fix it, Thx! also also, you can see the flavor text by clicking these links which do a search on bungie.net and they actually pop up.

The flavor text seems to be the same on all the classes versions of the armor.
