Went out to the firebreak this morning. The government can't be bothered with a village this isolated, so it's down to the locals to protect themselves from wildfire. The trees are beautiful when you tune out the constant, ambient buzz of the water-bots in the air. Felt good to help out. Clearing out deadwood and undergrowth to keep the next blaze at bay. Was a good reminder that there's more going on outside than the fight against Abstergo.
They're letting that scientist we snatched up stew. I wanted to tell Tatyana that we didn't have time to waste, and it turned into a row with Bas and the others, them saying I was speaking out of turn. Before I could knock someone's teeth out, I left. It's the heat making us this way. Makes everything we're doing feel so small and pointless.
Water-bot landed on my knuckle when we were working. Iridescent wings, bug eyes. But I could see the mechanical joints and ligatures. Put it to your ear and you can hear the whirr of the gears inside. If you gave me a microscope, I'd probably be able to see the Abstergo logo somewhere in there. They're everywhere.
It's not just the phones and money tokens. It's not just the maglev ships ferrying troops to and from their bases to put down the rebellions, help one warlord out by crushing another. It's not just the armored dogbots carrying medical supplies in their back compartments. It's the water-bots too. All Abstergo. They break the world, then they sell you the glue.
But you look out at this village, and you think you're looking into the past, before Abstergo tech invaded every part of our lives. But really, you're looking into the future. A time when Abstergo's completely invisible. You don't even know they're there, and they've still got their hooks in you.
How long before the Animus shows up here too?
Can't get distracted. There's a reason Dad sent us after Dr. Muller, Dad. He knows something that'll help us hit the heart of Abstergo. That's how you kill a giant, right?
The Doctor's waking up. It's time.
