Easter Egg Mystery

As highlighted as the second or point #9 in oddheader's "10 Strangest Unsolved Video Game Discoveries - Part III" video starting at 2:06 (2:28 for the specifics) from BrotherBox's research, there is an easter egg revealed in Database Mode when checking the corpse at that point in the story described as "Information downloaded from Scott Kiefer's REMORA:".

Here is the data transcribed from the video and worked on in a command line on a Mac:

# Set-up
⋊> pbpaste > hex.txt
⋊> cat hex.txt | xxd -p -r > text.txt

# Plaintext matches the decoding from the video using that website.
⋊> cat text.txt
Congratulations  to the ext�GV�Iib��R�fRv��RF�F�RW�FV�B�bFV6�F��rF��2�W�GV���W�Ɩ�R⏎

# For those wanting a more exact perspective, and used to the xxd or any descriptive hex format like I am.
⋊> xxd text.txt

Tried some Python 3.7.4 file reading implicitly with Unicode's UTF-8, but that was not successful:
