	In February 2017, Berg and Violet traveled to [[Hong Kong]] to investigate the aftermath of an attack at a former [[Phoenix Project]] site cleared out months ago and transformed into an archive office. Berg was surprised that a small, unidentified army appeared to be defending an Abstergo archive against the Assassins, to which Violet suggested that there might have been a fight within the Assassin cell. Berg ordered Violet to bribe the Chinese police to leave the site as it was, and retired to his hotel room for the night. Later, dressed in his advanced Black Cross attire and with André Bolden acting as his tech support, Berg investigated the building alone and found evidence of both high-tech Templar equipment and Assassin weaponry being used by the people who had butchered the Assassins.<ref name="ACUp 1">''[[Assassin's Creed: Uprising]]'' – [[Assassin's Creed: Uprising 1\|Issue #1]]</ref>		In February 2017, Berg and Violet traveled to [[Hong Kong]] to investigate the aftermath of an attack at a former [[Phoenix Project]] site cleared out months ago and transformed into an archive office.
