Editing Database: Diary of Joel Eastman (4)

{{Spoilerhd|11 December 2025|[[Animus Hub]]}}
Rewriting memories. [[Joel Eastman|I]]'m still having trouble wrapping my head around it. Dr. [[Wilhelm Muller|Muller]] made it sound so benevolent. Like the Animus was medicine. But that's how they always were. How they are. Break you, then sell you the glue.

For a second, while he was talking, I thought about [[Geoff Eastman|Dad]]. My memories of him. I thought of my last memory of him, how it seemed as though all of them were leading up to that last moment. This whole history we had together, our shared history and— wait.

Shared history. Dr. Muller was talking about individual memories, but what if it's bigger than that? All those dig sites Dad brought me to, all those markets — in Athens, in Baghdad, in Cairo — those places thick with history, what if that's what Abstergo is trying to control? What if they're trying to change history?

Dad always said it. There are as many histories as there are people on the planet. History isn't just a thing of the mind. It lives in the body. In the bones. In the... in the genes.

Abstergo is trying to alter Genetic Memories.
