	Thanks to Desmond's sacrifice, Earth was left mostly unaffected by the solar flare and human civilization ~~continued to endure~~. However, the Second Disaster itself did not go unnoticed. Within mere hours after its occurrence, news reports described various abnormal incidents across the globe, including electrical storms and erratic displays of unusual weather, seismic activity throughout the {{Wiki\|Ring of Fire\|ring of fire}}, and blackouts in various cities. In the end, the damage was deemed minimal, as the global aurora borealis had served its purpose of shielding the planet from the solar flare.<ref name="AC3" />		Thanks to Desmond's sacrifice, Earth was left mostly unaffected by the solar flare and human civilization endured.

	Abstergo Industries quickly claimed credit for saving humanity from the potentially devastating solar flare, telling the public that the protective shield around the Earth had come from their satellite network. Only a select few individuals such as [[Rebecca Crane]] and [[Shaun Hastings]], who had been with Desmond during his final moments, knew the truth.<ref name="ACV">''[[Assassin's Creed: Valhalla]]''</ref>		Abstergo Industries quickly claimed credit for saving humanity from the potentially devastating solar flare, telling the public that the protective shield around the Earth had come from their satellite network.

	Ultimately, the calamity was prevented through the efforts of the [[Assassins]], who, guided by messages left by the [[Capitoline Triad]], journeyed to the [[Grand Temple]] that housed a device called the [[global aurora borealis device]] capable of generating a planetary shield. On the day of the disaster, the Assassin [[Desmond Miles]] used the device to protect Earth at the cost of his own life and the release of a vengeful [[Juno]] from the Grand Temple.
