Good Day. My situation at Safe Haven is changing regarding updates. Search for New Outlet possible. I Can Confirm two things. First , the canisters at embassies (except Japan) contain small pieces/samples of a "presumed" artifact. ( My Girlfriend Presumes its an artifact).
The canisters themselves are made from a "strange" type of ceramic (translation problem /porcelain).
Secondly,, the Japanese Briefcase differ in contents, theirs Contain a Metallic Cylinder and less documents. My GirlFriend's contact told her it was a Biohazard Containment Cylinder

It has long been considered that China hates Japan with a vengeance over what happened before and during WWII.

Then recently - as we all watched tensions rise and rise over the detained trawler captain incident - something changed.

A short time later we heard that Japan had received one of the time-locked briefcases from the Chinese.

Those who suggested or intuited that some sort of biological material were in one or more briefcases (BadHairDay etc) can take a bow.

Looks like China has told Japan about their genetic heritage and about what it knows is coming in the future. Considering the alleged hatred the Chinese felt towards the Japanese - this seems highly significant on all levels.
