	Even after completing the present-day segment in the Colosseum and falling into a comatose state, Desmond was still able to hear the voices of the modern Assassins after completing the final Rift. However, the game would not conclude with Desmond in free fall, but in an ordinary loading screen still featuring him. Likewise, [[Lucy Stillman]]'s voice could still be heard outside of the Animus when the file was ready to execute, even if she had already been killed in the present day.

	The hidden message in Rift 5, Puzzle 4 that reads "Wages should be..." comes from British political economist {{Wiki\|David Ricardo}}'s 1817 work ''{{Wiki\|On the Principles of Political Economy and Taxation}}''.

	The series of numbers from the speech before Rift 7, Puzzle 1 are the years for important historical events. In order, they are: the year [[Jesus of Nazareth]] was [[Crucifixion\|crucified]] (30 CE); the start of the collapse of the Western [[Roman Empire]] (476 CE); the start of the [[Hundred Years' War]] (1337); the [[Fleur\|assumed]] death date of [[Jeanne d'Arc]] (1431); the year [[Hernán Cortés]] leads his [[Spanish Army]] detachment in a [[Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire\|massacre]] of [[Aztec Empire\|Aztecs]] in [[Tenochtitlan]], [[Mexico]] in what would be known as the [[Night of Sorrows]] (1520); the signing of the [[Declaration of Independence]] (1776); the start of the [[American Civil War]] (1861), the start of [[World War I]] (1914); the start of the {{Wiki\|Great Depression}} (1929); the start and end of [[World War II]] (1939, 1945); the start of the {{Wiki\|Korean War}} and the CIA's [[Cold War]] drug experiment "[[Project BLUEBIRD]]" that was part of their wider {{Wiki\|Project MKUltra}} (1950); the start of the [[Vietnam War]] (1955); the awarding of the {{Wiki\|Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine}} to [[James Watson]], [[Francis Crick]], and {{Wiki\|Maurice Wilkins}} for their "discovery" of DNA based off [[Rosalind Franklin]]'s uncredited work (1962); the start of [[Mikhail Gorbachev]]'s term as the only {{Wiki\|President of the Soviet Union}} (1990); President {{Wiki\|Bill Clinton}}'s signing of the {{Wiki\|North American Free Trade Agreement}} (1994); the start of Clinton's {{Wiki\|Clinton–Lewinsky scandal\|affair}} with [[Monica Lewinsky]] (1995); and the year after Abstergo Industries rigged the {{Wiki\|2000 United States presidential election}} in favor of George Bush over the Assassin-backed [[Al Gore]] following the [[Great Purge]]. 2001 was also the year the {{Wiki\|September 11 attacks}} prompted Bush to initiate what would eventually become a ~~twenty~~-year long [[War on Terror]] under the pretense of eliminating {{wiki\|Islamic extremism~~\|Islamic extremist~~}}, but in truth was based on fraudulent intelligence to {{Wiki\|Rationale for the Iraq War\|make profits}} for the oil industry and military contractors.

	The series of quotes in Rift 7, Puzzle 2 have many different origins. Three of the justices' quotes come from their individual opinions on ''{{Wiki\|Citizens United v. FEC\|Citizens United v.
