Taggart situation
FROM: Eugénie Franca

TO: John Chapman

Hi,

We finally got the personal vids of the guy who claims he can expose Taggart's ties to extremist anti-aug groups. They had trouble "acquiring" them. We'll need Brian to start working on the composites and 3D modeling.

I want people to know that this guy has no credibility before he even reaches a TV station. We have to support Taggart's "hope of a peaceful resolution" angle.

So what do you think? We have him doing a home porno ir we go for the racist drug-induced violent episode?

Need your input,

Eugénie Franca

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.

SpaceNet Project
FROM: Eugénie Franca

TO: Martin Grace

Hey Martin,

We've got a memo about the SpaceNet "laser cleaning" project. They want us to play the "cleaning" card a bit more. They're afraid too many people wondering about what the structures actually do might lead them to question what it could be used for.

Simply put, they're afraid of people finding out about the "military aspect" of their little program. We'll do an in-depth review, like a 3 days "SpaceNet Special" kind of thing. Grab us some military types on the project who can easily pass as civilian scientists, we'll interview them about the space cleaning program.

Let's come up with some jibber-jabber pseudo scientific crap to give the people. Ask Lyle, he's good with the science jargon and crap. We'll add a bit of fake "live" footage of the structures in action and we'll be set.

Thanks,

Eugénie Franca

Status Report
FROM: Morgan Everett

TO: Mtl_Picus_All

Hello everyone,

Another semester gone, and again we meet a new one, a very important one for Picus as it will see the launch of two new website projects that will let use better compete in the respective fields of search engines and Social Networking.

Our Media and Entertainment division, along with Telecom and Advertising, all show a significant increase in both popularity and revenues. All the while we are expanding, again, our Networking power with yet another Communication Satellite Facility in Northern France.

So, to keep things simple, if a bit cliché I'll go with:

Keep up the good work. I, for one, am a proud member of your team.

Morgan Everett

CEO, Picus, Montreal Branch
