Subject: Animus Functionality & New Subject
CC: Lucy Stillman
Hello,

We’ve recently acquired a new subject for the animus – make sure to change all passwords on our computers. We can’t have him exploring the net and reading his mail from our system, now can we?

Also, I’ve received news of a new security employee starting today. Make sure he doesn’t forget to record our sessions and every move the subject makes. Unless, of course, pressing a button when indicated is simply too complex a task.

Lucy – with the new subject arriving, I’ll need your latest document on the animus functionality.

Warren,

As requested the other day in our weekly meeting, I’ve begun preparing the fi les on our new subject, #17 Desmond Miles, and his ancestor Altaïr (born circa 1165 – date of death unknown).

Please fi nd attached my fi rst draft of the animus control & feedback system for the board presentation next week. Feel free to make comments or suggestions.

Cheers,

Lucy.

Talks Continue Regarding Aftermath of L-11 Outbreak:
Nearly 6 years later, little progress has been made in dealing with the repercussions of what history books now refer to as 'The Second Plague'. With nearly 96% of its population decimated over a 3-month period, the continent of Africa is now virtually uninhabited. Plans to divide up the continent have met with strong resistance and claims of neo-colonialism. One protester had this to say: 'Whether we are a hundred or a hundred million - this is still our home and no one has the right to take it from us.'

Mexican President Promises Better Border Security:
Concerned about record numbers of illegal immigrants entering his country, the President of Mexico today promised to ramp up border security. The number of troops stationed along the border is expected to triple. Opponents are worried about an increase in violence between American refugees and Mexican troops. Fighting between the two groups has left 300 dead and nearly 1000 wounded over the past six months.

Subject: Additional Subjects?
Warren:

If this kid isn't going to get us what we need, it's time to start looking elsewhere. I've cc'd David from our Acquisitions department. He may be able to provide you with a couple of additional test subjects should Desmond be retired. In case you need reminding, WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.

This crap with the fluoride enhancement is going to put us under a LOT of scrutiny. We need to launch on the 21st. If we wait any longer we risk everything being frozen during the investigation. I have a feeling that none of our friends in D.C. are going to do us any favors on this one. We'll deal with them come election time.

We've cleaned up the mess at DIA, but I'm hearing there's some jackass baggage handler trolling newsgroups and nutjub websites with his tales of mass murder and corporate coverups. Where's he even getting his information from? Your report said the Project Lead killed everyone down there before our clean up crews arrived. I still don't understand how they managed to botch that so badly.

Anyway, we're trying to figure out who the hell he is so we can shut him up, but it's proving difficult. I'm beginning to wonder if he doesn't have help. Seems there are still a couple of those Assassin bastards running loose. It only takes one. But you already knew that. Makes me wonder if the fluoride leak was internal after all... And if it was, are we dealing with a whistle blower or something worse?

I'm about ready to pull the plug on your Subject Seventeen. So either get me results or get another person into that Animus.

Guess the shit's really hit the fan this time. Someone managed to leak a bunch of documents on the "Fluoride Enhancement Studies" and now the pharmaceuticals division is under investigation by the Feds. They've shut the entire place down. Did you see what was in those reports? What the hell were they thinking? They pretty much poisoned an entire town.

It's about those idiots in the pills division. We're putting out a press release about the satellite. Telling them launch has been delayed until the 21st so that we can make improvements to the "coverage area". Some stuff about less dropped calls. For the "benefit of our consumers" of course. Let's just make sure you get what you need in time to meet the new launch window.

Mister Rikkin:

I'm hoping you might be able to help me understand why even five years after the fact, no one is willing to tell me what happened to my friend. If you are concerned about sensitive information being divulged as a result of sharing this with me... I think my record at the company speaks for itself.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

Best,

Lucy Stillman

Tension Mounts Over Antarctic Drilling:
The U.S. and E.U. are once again facing heavy criticism for their decision to begin construction of jointly owned oil platforms in the Weddell Sea. Several supranational unions oppose the work, claiming it violates the Antarctic Treaty System. The situation has been further complicated by the presence of two naval destroyers, said to be in the region for reasons unrelated to the construction.

Hurricane Season Ends... But not in the way you think:
Increasingly erratic weather patterns have caused the Global Weather Association to abolish the term "Hurricane Season". Once confined to the months of June through November, hurricane duration, frequency, strength, and location have increased to the point where most coastal cities must now live in constant fear of these devastating storms.

Eye-Abstergo Satellite Launch Postponed:
Citing last minute adjustments to their new All-In-One telecommunications satellite, Eye-Abstergo have postponed the launch of their first satellite until December 21st. They maintain that their patented technology will allow faster, more reliable data transmission than previous-generation satellites which suffered from delays and interference.

Warren:

Found your ACCESS-KEY pen again today out by the parking lot. You really need to start keeping it IN your pocket instead of LETTING IT HANG off your coat. Try and take better care of your things, Warren. Imagine if Security had found it. They'd have shut us down for at least a day to reprogram all the computer access codes.

Warren:

I've finished my report on Subject Sixteen. You should take a look when you have some time as I believe it validates my belief that we need to be treating them with greater care. Failure to do so will only result in further breakdowns.

I'll summarize things for now since I realize you're probably pretty busy. Prolonged exposure to the Animus caused a "Bleeding Effect" within Subject Sixteen's genetic structure. The result was a blending of genetic and real-time memory. He became unable to distinguish his own life from those of his ancestors, as witnessed with the incident in his room.

I believe this effect is very similar to certain forms of multiple personality and delusional disorders. People who claim to be experiencing past lives or the presence of other minds within their own are quite possibly experiencing a naturally occurring version of this Bleeding Effect. Though the specific symptoms may vary from subject to subject, the end result is the same: they lose their minds.

This is what I believe happened to Subject Sixteen. One of his ancestors seems to have been involved in an important event in the ancient Far East. The wall writings he left us defy any conventional explanation, though I'm not ready to dismiss them just yet. Per your request, I've asked for a linguist and historian to research them further in case there is some significance. I'll let you know if they come back to us with anything.

I'll get you a full copy of the report so that you can review my findings when you have the time. I know this is not that important to you Warren, but it would mean a lot to me if you'd just take a look and think about it. We don't need to push them so hard. We don't need to kill them. From a purely practical perspective, there's no point in destroying the subjects anyway. Once they're dead, their knowledge is lost to us forever. And we both know how dangerous that can be.

Thanks for your time!
