Nope. Was never aware of it (or indeed of Cerberus itself), still isn't.

That's a good analogy. Another (since it was mostly industrial/technical data) would be, say, the secret formula for 1820s Portland cement, which made modern concrete possible. In fact, there's a solid comparison to be made in this very story: It's akin to the transmat food machine technology, which was incredibly bleeding-edge and potentially lucrative in its day, but by the time Friends Like These happens, is nothing particularly special (although Japari Park's version's energy source still is). Even if it could be recovered, there's unlikely to be anything in it that is interesting or novel in the 2400s.
