Assassin's Creed reference
There is an achievement for solving all of Subject 16's puzzles. The name of the achievement is ".. .- -- .- .-.. .. ...- .", which is Morse code that translates to "IAMALIV." When spaced out, this is "I am alive." Lucy always maintains that Subject 16 died after writing on the walls inside Abstergo in the original Assassin's Creed. Additionally, this could also be a subtle reference to Ubisoft's game titled I Am Alive.
Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy reference
Successfully complete Sequence 6, then leave the Animus, and walk over to Lucy's desk. You will see two computer monitors. The monitor on the right shows the "Memories" section that you use to select your missions in the Assassin's Creed: Project Legacy Facebook game.
