I have known about this message for a quite a long time and finally I got around to post this discovery (I have posted this on the Eidos forums but had no proof back then). You can find this secret message only in the ps2 version (I can't test it on Xbox) saying: ''HIDE THE MARMOSETS!''. Does it refer to the monkeys or the tool for materials? Maybe both? In any case, it is a strange thing which was removed in the pc version.
How to find it:
Upon Raziel's second visit to Vorador's
mansion (after his return from Avernus), you can find the following
message in the bottom floor of the flooded sewers area (where you found a piece of the
seal). The message even changes
colours from yellow to green when shifting.

"Pretty straightforward: hide those marmosets! Lol
There were a lot of overtime hours on Defiance. As a result, people would get punchy around 10pm-2am. Lots of inside jokes suddenly became really good ideas to put jn the game.
Some were official like the chibi mode or cardboard tube, others wormed their way in.
Honestly surprised anyone found something like this. We used sayings like this as placeholders to test memory. Having it change in spectral shows that it was also used to test modes.
Hide the marmosets, don't scare the crows and Electric Bugaloo were all used. They were all supposed to be removed (which I am sure happened when the PC version was made)
In SR2 I used my car photo as a placeholder and a Japanese Pride fight poster between Kazushi Sakaruaba and Royce Gracie. (Which were removed so don't bother looking for them lol)
Amazing this was found after so long a time."
