Further proof AE is evil

What am I looking at? I can't read any of the text on those resized pics and I can't see anything unusual in the pictures, themselves. Just a character going into the Architect. I assume the mission that sends you there is supposed to be the point, but I can't read what's in your nav bar.

To the Architect reception, I see. Which would be really impressive if it were a mission to defeat a bunch of space nazi or root out a cabal of corruption, but given that I can't read what the mission objective is, it might as well be "deliver pizza." In fact, a contact does exactly that in one Crey story arc. "Oh, hey, while I'm working on this data, please deliver this CD to my friend on the butt end of nowhere and come back to me."

I think this may be another instance of Architect Entertainment buildings obliterating entrances to mission instances. Happened to me about a week ago; what I assume was once sewer entrance right outside had ceased to exist.
The location is correct, but the door is long gone.
Probably an insidious plot to curtail more mainstream mission/storyarc play in favour of AE farming.
AFAICT, it says "Erase Records from Crey Computers". This was after a took a hand magnifier to the screen 
IOW, the OP is saying that Crey is allied with AE. But I think everyone already knew that

Hmm... But if the mission is to erase records from Crey computers, wouldn't that make US the bad guys? I mean, the Architect is a joint venture between Crey Industries and Aeon Tech, so obviously it will have Crey computers in it.|

Of course, if I dig into my knowledge of the game, I'd guess this is the mission to assist Mark IV in escaping from Crey by erasing all information about him from their computers, so I guess if those computers are in Founders' Falls' Architect Entertainment building, why not start there?
But, yeah, it's a Crey business. It's not quite as bad as going to root out a nest of Arachnoids by going down the lift in the police station, like I heard back during the Safeguard missions Issue (I8?).

Had to abandon Manti TF thanks to this bug. Luckily it was the first mission so nothing much was lost but imagine it being one of the last in a tf.
Strangly, after reading this post this morning, I then went on to have a radio mission in Faultline where the door was actually the AE mission access.
However, it turned out that Smith was not a time-travelling Terminator

I've had that happen too - it also sometimes sends you to Portal Corp, even if you don't have a portal mission |

I was once directed to a helicopter and ended up in a sewer entrance.

Further proof AE is evil...
* That evil wench who sells inspirations there doesn't sell wakies... forcing you to use their in-house hospital... so they can milk the insurance companies for every spare cent they can... driving insurance premiums up through the roof... making insurance that much more difficult to get for the common man... giving the Canadians yet another reason to laugh at us.
* Holograms my rosy-redness... if they're holograms then why do they make you take those "special" pills right before entering the "data-stream"?!
* The prizes you get for your tickets aren't even carnival grade... I got some salvage yesterday... my Deific Weapon had Made in Taiwan stamped on it... the time feature on my Chronal Skip was all 8's and blinking... and my Synthetic Intelligence Unit never graduated Middle School...
* The actors playing your "enemies"? Underpaid migrant workers.
* During the worst of the Farming epidemic they changed their advertising slogan to: "AE Corps... The Blue Pill is your friend..."
* There's a room in the basement where... if you give the correct password to a guy named "Eddie"... you can violate the Teen Rating... among other things.
* Given the fact that there is an AE in every single non-hazard zone... it has become increasingly obvious they are a cover for Starbucks.
My mind wanders so often you've probably seen its picture on milk cartons. - Me... the first person version of the third person Steelclaw
Actually, given that they appear in almost every zone, temper-tantrum-throwing children are running amok in them screaming "I WANT I WANT I WANT," and you can theoretically get anything you want there?
They're Wal-Mart.

And in the train stations...
And in the restrooms of the existing locations...
(Sorry, I'm particularly anti-Starbucks at the moment. I had a work assignment that left me stuck in one for the better part of the week...and I hate coffee. It smells like burnt skunk.)

How about this one?
The mission? Defeat Officer Nader and Guards in IP.
Is Officer Nader's secret hide-out in the plant? 
There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"
