Vurk fires up Traven's terminal to examine to datacrystal. Alexis becomes visibly agitated at this and has to leave (via a second, back door in order to avoid the tail (s) in the bar.
The crystal contains a series of vid messages from Raive, who in the early messages appears as a darkly handsome man, whose scars and broken nose enhance his looks. His eyes, however, are cold and blue.
The gist if of the messages are Raive telling Alexis that he has acquired some new tech, and encouraging her to do so too. As the messages go on, more of Raive is replaced by machinery and his insistences and ramblings become more disjointed, almost messianic in tone. Although he continues to cajole Alexis into "improving" herself, the talk becomes more about him, about how he is seeking the perfection of the "weak" human body through technology. He alternates between threatening and poetic, between violently animated to disturbingly still and quiet. The last message ends with the words
"You *will* join me. I have powerful friends now; *they* will help me get you back."

Vurk picks out several clues from the disjointed ramblings (as a pak'ma'ra he probably isn't perturbed by the part where Raive is waving his own amputated arm around for emphasis).
When showing off his new artificial right arm, Raive compliments someone called "Sethyk" on his handiwork, and adds "Not bad for a little furball who makes boxes on wheels."
"A little furball" could refer to the Cascor species, a minor League race who have a sort of tree-squirrel appearance about them. Cascor are generally good technicians.
"Boxes on wheels" is a fairly common term used to refer to T-Kat robots, a sort of tracked maintainance bot commonly used on industrial worlds.
At one point during one of his more wild phases, Raive evidently knocks the camera of his vid askew. You get a brief glimpse of a neon sign, reflected on a shiny surface.
Computer Use 14+4 = 18
Fiddling with image enhancement and reversing the image, it seems to be a sign in Interlac advertising "Girls", with a neon palm-tree beside the writing.

OOC: As regards whoever is in the bar following Alexis, don't forget that currently all you have is a thought picked out of the air by Ashley, no solid identification.
