Metal Gear Solid V: Phantom Pain - 15 Easter Eggs, References & Secrets You Must Find

8. P.T. Audio Clip In Africa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6CYb2zIRKc During Mission 20: Voices, the player can enter a tent to find a cassette tape playing, detailing a grisly series of murders. The report might sound familiar to anyone who played the P.T. (Playable Teaser) demo, which was of course directed by Kojima and intended to be a prelude to the now-cancelled Silent Hills game. The dialogue goes as follows: "As the congressional debate over gun control flares up again, we regret to report the murder of a wife and her two children by their husband and father. The father purchased the rifle used in the crime at his local gunstore two days earlier. The brutal killing took place while the family was gathered at home on a Sunday afternoon. The day after the crime, the father went to the trunk of his car, retrieved the rifle, and shot his wife as she was cleaning up the kitchen after lunch. When his ten-year-old son came to investigate the commotion, the father shot him, too. His six-year-old daughter had the good sense to hide in the bathroom, but reports suggest he lured her out by telling her it was just a game. The girl was found shot once in the chest from point blank rage. The mother, who was shot in the stomach, was pregnant at the time. Police arriving on-scene after neighbors called 911 found the father in his car, listening to the radio. Several days before the murders, neighbors say they heard the father repeating a sequence of numbers in a loud voice. They said it was like he was chanting some strange spell. There was another family shot to death in the same state last month, and in December last year, a man used a rifle and a meat cleaver to murder his entire family. In each case, the perpetrators were fathers. State police say this string of domestic homicides appears unrelated, though it could be part of a larger trend, such as employment, childcare, and other social issues facing the average family."
