	As Desmond explored the memories of Ezio and Altaïr, he was sporadically returned to the island; Clay explained that the Animus was partitioned to keep Desmond's mind from collapsing, and that leaving his assigned partition could cause the Animus to delete Desmond similar to a virus. In an effort to prevent this, Clay attempted to occupy the system and allow Desmond to finish reliving the memories, which would then allow him to access the [[Synch Nexus]] and wake up.

	However, even with Clay's assistance, the Animus eventually scheduled the Black Room for deletion, due to multiple space violations by Desmond. Fortunately, Desmond was saved by Clay, who passed on his own memories to Desmond and sent him back into Ezio's rendered memories, before being deleted along with the Black Room.
