@Sir_Namedokay the point of this thread is theories and specutalations, so my answer to your post is, the hommond robotics represantative already annouced loba's past and motive and that it's revange aganist revenant out and loud to legends and most likely spectators, which as per the woman from hammond which will bring more audincace and gold rating, so when yoko took loba aside and they know what she really wants, it sure was something different than revange
do you think hammond robotics who have a facility to create infinite numbers of a killer robot who have the ability to defy death and effect other legends with it, would just ignore it when pathfinder spoke about the other dimimension? specially for patherfinder who have a very basic robot programming (not human at all) , which in classics novals a being with no ability to lie and won't investigate another dimission of kings canyon.
also if you follow apex legends on twitter and instgrame, they posted a photo of a data log or whatever they are called, it discribe the whole process of the artificat retrival mission, a portal in mirages pub, will take them from KC alpha to KC beta, a ring resistance dropship will transport the competitors "legends" there, they will use a device to dig up the artifact, which is a miniture (harverster). no matter how rich loba is i don't think she will have access to such resource and specific materials like this, and all points back to hammond.
why they didn't ask the other legend, not of them seems have to motive or need to do work for hammond, each already have his/her goals.
loba herself admited she received an offer. in different loading screen from loba's prefpective she says the following, after she fails to destroy his original head. and she have been annoced as a legend.
"Destroying the demonio one pile of scrap at a time isn't practical, but it will feel good. And I just received a very interesting proposition..."
lastly octane's date is happing after the mission, so it't not related to the letter, it was already sent to revenant at this point.
