JF, the Joey video is a MESS. What is going on here? How did this get out? You know this is not the quality we ship. -M

Mel, Mel, Mel...
It's a good thing we're friends or I might be offended. Let me refresh your memory. The attached screen is what my guys produced. It's clean. It's perfection.
Also, haha: you signed off on it. Remember? :) And I think the testers would have noticed a glitch like that. Lol. Someone needs a vacation...
Whatever this is, it happened after we went gold, so if you're looking for a scapegoat to hang, check with your buddies in publishing.
:(
- Your pal, JF
PS- Drinks later? Terasse weather is over but that doesn't mean we can't *try*. We're tough! Rawr! Arrrr! :o)
Hi Kristina,
How are you? How was Costa Rica? Amazing? You have to tell me about it!!!
So, there's just one I need help with. See the screenshot attached? What do you think is going on there with all the distortion? We've checked our files and they're all clean. (Actually, I blamed JF and I think he hates me now. :-( )
Please, please, please tell me we can still fix this.
- Mel

Hi Mely (and JF!)
Whaaaat am I even looking at?
I don't want to alarm you, but I looked at the whole vid and egads, WHAT IS THAT SCREEN AT THE END? Is that a FACE? It is, isn't it? It's a face. But what is it doing there?
Costa Rica was great. And relaxing. But I'm already too stressed out to remember that! Look at that face! I can't decide if it's beautiful or terrifying. We definitely didn't put it there.
Who can we get to exorcise this piece of insanity? Know any priests?

RE: RE: Glitchy weirdness.
I vote terrifying. No, hot. No, definitely scary. I can't decide. Is this why I'm still single?
May I make a suggestion? Send it to Phil in security. She loves this kind of thing.
P.S: I could never hate you Mel. (Seriously, both of you: drinks soon?)
- Your pal, JF
I fear JF has oversold my sleuthing abilities. As far as I know, we don't have any phenomenon capable of causing this distortion pattern. (Or a face. You're sure this isn't a prank? Right JF???) It looks like electromagnetic radiation interference, like from a giant magnet... that can draw.
The video is already public, yes? Mind if I show it to some friends on the outside? They might have ideas.

PS: I'll go for drinks with you, JF. Just bought new snowpants. Winter terasse ftw.
anonymish_82 [15:24]: Yeah, I've seen the face.
defact0r [15:24]: And?
anonymish_82 [15:24]: And what?
defact0r [15:24]: Is it ours?
anonymish_82 [15:25]: I highly doubt it. I mean, I hope not. Why would we do that? What do they take us for? Bansky?
defact0r [15:25]: ...
anonymish_82 [15:27]: Oh, right. Yes. The credits are going haywire, and our whole funding mechanism is about to go down the drain, but we're going to take time away from fixing it to edit a video with some face of- what is it anyway? Where have I seen this before?
defact0r [15:28]: Where have you seen this??? Desmond... the vault... ring any bells?
anonymish_82 [15:29]: Gods. Aliens. Ancient Beings. Whatever they are.
defact0r [15:29]: Yeah, it looks like the vengeful one.
anonymish_82 [15:29]: Greeaaaat. The conspiracy guys are going to have a field day with this one. Who put it there? What's anyone supposed to get out of this? Why bother?
defact0r [15:30]: Maybe it's just Art.
anonymish_82 [15:30]: Yes. That must be it. It's Art. Abstergo isn't so much sending us a message as they're sending us a "Message."
defact0r [15:30]: I'll put the word out it's not us.
anonymish_82 [15:31]: No wait. Don't. Let them think it's us. Nurture the mystery; it keeps things interesting.
defact0r [15:31]: OK. Done. Mystery maintained.
anonymish_82 [15:31]: Maybe just tell Phil. I don't want cops breaking down my door.
defact0r [15:32]: Done again. Mystery downgraded. Are you sure about this? Working with THEM?
anonymish_82 [15:32]: No, I'm not sure.
defact0r [15:32]: OK... so... what exactly is going on with the credits? Abstergo figured it out?
anonymish_82 [15:32]: No that's the problem. I don't think it's them.
defact0r [15:33]: Then it's a hack?
anonymish_82 [15:33]: Not that I can tell. It's like it's coming from inside the system. Like the virus is writing itself.
defact0r [15:34]: the call is coming from inside the house! Riiiiight.
anonymish_82 [15:34]: Look smartass, can you just get over here and help? No money, no "art projects." Need it fixed, pronto. Sarcasm? Not helping.
