MLA Hex Files Collection [SPOILERS]

Terminals like the one below can be found all over the world of The Thalos Principle. They once provided access to the bigger Milton Library Archive, but as for now, the network access is down and you can only browse its local files.

Some of those files seem to contain nonsense characters, but they're not. It is the hexadecimal representation of ASCII characters which can be made readable again.

There is also a QR-Image that reads like this:

I can't tell if the documents on the terminals are all that's left from a larger archive, or are carefully designed to communicate some hidden truth?

NOTE: If you don't want to get spoiled, find the documents and do the 'translation' yourself, here are usefull links for a better understanding:

• What is hexadecimal?[en.wikipedia.org]
  
• What about ASCII?[en.wikipedia.org]
  
• ASCII-Table[en.wikipedia.org]

A small example showing how the famous phrase 'Hello, world.' looks like in hex:
Sequences like that can be found in many of the MLA documents and are obvious to spot, though they may be not there as a whole but scattered through a single document.

The following chapters are ordered by land A to land C, the elevator areas, the tower floors and the Road To Gehenna DLC at last. In each chapter the document's name with the corresponding translation of the hexadecimal values are presented.

NOTE: for faster loading times, only the first document, athena6.txt, comes with a screenshot.
In the Road to Gehenna section screenshots are used again because there is no central register. The hex-codes can be found on QR stickers.

NOTE: to see the decoded text embedded in the original text please see:

Enjoy!

Update:
@Fles pointed out the missing terminal option at the end of Gehenna:
"Maybe I've missed it but I couldn't see this one here. In Gehenna, once most of the androids have been freed, the terminal offers a thread titled 454E44 which gives:
ENDAwake! awake O sleeper of the land of shadows, wake!"

Update:
A QR-code found by @levet.byck:
in gehenna world 3, at the left wall outside the entrance of 'bff' there's a qr-code that says:
"4E6F746 8696E 6720 6C617 3747320666 F726576657220627 5742074686 520636572746169 6E7479206F6 620636 8616E6 7652E -- d_lyrics.html"
- nothing lasts forever but the certainty of change.

Update:
(@Fles) In Gehenna, building 4, the right wall outside Air Delivery: "These three activities, then, intelligence, love and creative action, which are so closely involved in one another, I cannot but feel to be intrinsically good. 474152 4241 47452 E4 44154 &they form the distinctively human kind of behaviour. --stapledon1944.tmp", which gives "GARBAGE.DAT"
