Bullet Mail (Animation)

"Bullet Mail" is an animation published by Photon on April 4, 2022. The video marked significant activity from the Photon YouTube channel after three months since its last upload, "A Safe Inside A Safe."

## Plot

The animation begins with a signed brown package (the signature is unrecognizable) being deposited into a mechanism that transports the package through a network of tunnels. The package arrives at a collection of what appears to be a missile-like device with designated room for objects within the rocket boosters. The package is promptly loaded into one of these devices by a secured retractable flat surface. The video then cuts forwards to the device being shot out of a massive cannon. The device quickly enters the upper atmosphere of an Earth-like planet and maintains travel for a few seconds. Following elapsed time, the top of the device opens to reveal an array of aerial control fan disks to reduce propulsion. The sides of the device immediately open to serve as guiding fins.

The device is seen falling back down to earth to an unknown location with few defining details other than mountain-like structures and a massive blue pyramid with a crown imprinted on it resembling Terrasteel's crown. The device slows its descent by defying all known physics laws and is received by a collection station (presumably one similar or identical to the structure responsible for shooting the device into orbit). The video is cut to show the package (presumably having been extracted from the device) being transported through a network of tunnels, as was shown previously. The video then cuts to a beige room with wooden floors, only containing what appears to be a black-and-white poster of Terrasteel's Discord profile picture (he is seen bearing a crown, sword, and calculator reading "33710").

A stick figure is seen in the middle of the room, opening the package using a laser-like device controlled by their hand. It is at this point that the video is revealed to be an advertisement for the "BulletMail: An Hour a Continent" mailing service. Their motto reads: "For when airplanes aren't fast enough." The package is revealed to contain a bomb-like device with eight seconds remaining on a red display. Upon reaching the last second, the timer stops for a brief moment. This is then followed by an abrupt cut to a poorly drawn face on a blue background. It is implied that the bomb-like device exploded.

## Trivia

### "Terrasteel Lot"

The location shown in the animation to where the package was delivered has no official name confirmation. However, given the visible characteristics (namely the massive blue pyramid with a crown imprinted on it), it can be concluded that this location holds some relation to Terrasteel (given the name: "Terrasteel Lot").

The location doesn't appear to have any defining details such as buildings or structures (aside from the mountain-like structures, which are unidentifiable). This could be a result of the animator not wanting to spend that much time on details. However, it is also possible that the line scribbling across the location represents a large area of parking spaces. Photon appeared to confirm this in a Discord message. Whether this design choice is a critique of the result of mass-automobile adoption in the United States is unknown.
