Ink Blot

During the Great Digital Migration, Bureau archivists discovered that certain player records had been contaminated by faulty ink serialization systems - information that should have printed clearly instead bled across pages, creating permanent ambiguity about what those documents originally contained. The designation was formalized when Internal Affairs realized the contamination could be weaponized.

Permanent ink bleeding that spreads across adjacent documents in a player's file, contaminating previously clean records when exposed. The contamination creates false patterns that didn't exist in original data - scorecards that appear to show impossible scores, attendance records that list events the player never attended. The effect is irreversible and cannot be replicated or forged.

Ink Blot tracks players whose records have been deliberately corrupted by Bureau counter-intelligence operations, serving as both a contamination warning and a status symbol for those who've survived Bureau interference. When you see this designation, you know their competitive history may have been compromised and should not be trusted for strategic decisions.
