You have to leave
FROM: Jack Mosher

TO: Angelo Joseph

I understand your concerns but you will have to leave the premises with the rest of the staff immediately, regardless of your concern for the safeguard of information.

These people are professionals and they KNOW what they're doing. If they need us out, I'm sure it's for a good reason.

My regards

Our role
FROM: Émilie Masse

TO: Mtl_Picus_Confidential

Hello,

With the rush of day operations, it's easy to lose focus and forget what the job is all about. As a reminder to all of you:

1) Minds and emotions can be influenced by the media.

a) A crowd has the mental age of a 5 year old child.

b) It is our mission to orient and guide the child to higher understanding.

c) That understanding must keep the right interest at heart.

2) Language and carefully chosen words are a form of influence.

a) Anyone can experience the world and express points of view.

b) Words are condensed ideas and the sole means for men to understand the world.

c) This is the power of Semiology and Rhetoric.

3) Control is in the delivery of information.

a) Knowledge is power.

b) Today, knowledge is based on information.

c) Controlling access and the flow of information is the key to power.

d) With this power comes responsibility.

A bit simplistic, I admit, but it gets the point across.

Security risks
FROM: Sheryl Harris

TO: Mtl_Picus_Confidential

Hello all,

Due to various incidents in the past few months, we have restricted the electronic messaging to internal transfers only.

Anyone with a Picus Confidential address will only be able to send messages within the Picus Confidential mailing servers.

The job we do here is as crucial as it is secretive. I'm sure you all understand.

Future breaches will be met with severe measures.

Regrets?
FROM: Robert Matta

TO: Stella Bogh

Est-ce que a t'arrive de te demander si on a vraiment le droit de faire ce qu'on fait ici?

Je veux dire, obviously, on a pas le droit. On ment, on fabrique de l'information, in manipule l'opinioin publique, mais je veux dire, récemment je commence à réellement me demander ce que je fais ici.

Au début, je croyais que le public n'était pas en mesure de prendre les bonnes décisions de toute manière. Que de le manipuler ainsi était un mal nécessaire. Et aussi, ya une partie de moi un peu nihiliste qui se dit que tout se vaut et ne vaut pas grand chose au final.

Mais je sais pas... on dirait que j'ai comme une petite graine de moralié qui commence à pousser.

Ten penses quoi?

Robert

English translation

 * Does it ever occur to you to ask yourself if we really have the right to do what we're doing here?
 * I mean, obviously, we don't have the right. We lie, we fabricate information, we manipulate the public opinion, but I mean, recently I've really started to ask myself what I'm doing here.
 * At first, I thought the public wasn't capable of making good decisions no matter what. That manipulating them in this way was a necessary evil. Also, there's a part of me that's a little nihilistic and thinks that anything goes, and it doesn't really matter in the end.
 * But I don't know... it looks like I have a little seed of doubt that is starting to grow.
 * What do you think?
 * ''Robert.

About Robert
FROM: Stella Bogh

TO: Pierre-Luc Poliquin

About Robert... you were right. I think he could become a liability. For some strange reason, he suddenly developed a conscience about what we do here. I don't know what to do. He's a good guy and I don't want anything bad to happen to him... but I felt I needed to report this...

Congratulations
FROM: Philip Kingry

TO: Mtl_Picus_Confidential

Hi,

This is just a short message to congratulate everyone on the handling of the Washington Hearings.

This was a very important issue lying at the very heart of the interests we at Picus aim to defend. According to various analysts and poll firms, our campaign around the Hearings made the pro-regulation parties gain as high as 32 points in various polls.

Congratulations!

Philip Kingry
