GLITCHES

Motoko takes credit she does not deserve

During the Office Block level, Motoko will read the T.A.R. director's office information and will say "I discovered that the MM-rice I collected at the parking garage..." However, Motoko was not the playable character during parking garage level and did not appear during it. It was actually Batou who collected the Mirco Machine Rice.
