The IRV David’s Harp is a research vessel of Canary Dynamics Ltd., a science think tank funded by Wyman-Isaacs Megacorp, en route to Exeter-II, the solitary moon of a gas giant called Exeter Prime. Exeter-II is the site of the ultra-secret Exeter II Collider Lab, where a classified anomaly was reported by a Wyman-Isaacs Megacorp agent two months ago.
