Funny / Phantom Doctrine

• Intel documents occasionally contains funny text.
  • One of the intel documents has its author requesting that their contact should leave pieces of information in "less creepy places", noting that one agent got lost three hours in catacombs and another had to venture inside an abandoned factory. The author then wonders if said contact is doing this on purpose.
  • Another intel doc has one agent send a memo to another agent that a rival agency keeps cutting their power - although a lot of the relevant information is redacted, the memo closes with the first agent threatening the second agent, should they fail to stop the agency that keeps cutting their power, that their body is getting stuffed into the smallest trash can possible.
  • In another, some operatives have a contact who sells hot dogs on the streets; they had to buy lots of hot dogs to get the information they wanted. In another else, the author states they discovered their operatives spent lots of money on "hot dogs", and expresses incredulity when further investigations show it wasn't a spy code for bribes or something.
  • One informer talks about Cyberpunk and how it relates to the current cold war situation. The other guy relates cyberpunk to their informer waking him up in the middle of night to talk about a tabletop game.
  • MEMORANDUM
    New face, intrigue and glory await you on this, your newest mission: proceed to the grocery store in DELETED and obtain — at any cost — decent coffee powder, a bag of crisps, and a romance novel from the section beside the magazine rack. May G-d protect you, agent.

• Opaque doors block AI's lines of sight, even when someone goes through one (despite the open-close animation), and this can be abused in infiltration mode. It results in the amusing sight of your agents leaving a restricted area right under the nose of AI mooks, who don't react since they technically didn't spot anything in the forbidden area. Makes you wonder what they exactly thought? "Hey, an unauthorized person just left a restricted area? Well, they're not trespassing anymore, I guess. Move along!"
• Leslie's old undercover ID, "Walter Poon," has an image in one corkboard. It's Leslie wearing a horrible fake mustache and wig.
• If the game gives you a good look at the colourful vending machines which are in many areas, they turn out to be selling absinthe, with the slogan "Post-Impressionists like that."
