Cunningham was outed as homosexual in high school, which unfortunately ruined a promising wrestling career. He left [[Texas]] as quickly as he could, and fled to [[Europe]]. Cunningham was recruited by the Brotherhood in [[Florence]], [[Italy]], under the leadership of Assassin veteran Adriano Maestranzi. Sigma Team attacked the Florence hideout in 2012, but Maestranzi detonated a bomb. Three Assassins were killed before the explosion, but Sigma Team was annihilated in the process. Cunningham and I were the only survivors. Cunningham was last sighted in [[Rotterdam]], alongside [[Arend Schut Cunningham|Arend Schut]], a former mixed martial arts champion who also suffered a career backlash when he came out as homosexual. It is clear that Cunningham is mentoring Schut in the ways of the Brotherhood. Although physically gifted and extremely dangerous, Schut is a poor choice as an Assassin. He is incapable of keeping a low profile, and will compromise the Brotherhood, despite himself. Recently, Cunningham stole [[Precursor box|a Piece of Eden]] from an Abstergo facility in Rotterdam. During the operation, Schut was charged to attack Abstergo employees throughout the city to draw attention away from his mentor. Although Sigma Team managed to reclaim the item, both Cunningham and Schut escaped.

Although no longer a corporeal being, she exists in a kind of digital consciousness somewhere in the Abstergo cloud. To accomplish her goals in the real world, Juno uses two types of people. The first is [[Aita|another Precursor consciousness]] that emerges in a human being at random. This person is commonly known as a [[Sage]]. Juno also holds sway over a group of disciples called the [[Instruments of the First Will]], who believe it is humanity's [[Project Anthropos|natural role]] to serve the First Civilization. Abstergo is currently using the First Will as a cheap and hands-off way of acquiring [[Piece of Eden|Pieces of Eden]] and other relics. However, I suspect the reverse is also true, that they are using our resources to locate objects that will help them further their own goals. I do not trust them. But for now, all I can do is have da Costa monitor their activities. Juno's motives are unclear. Although she has made one attempt to possess [[Noob|a corporeal body]], she appears to be more powerful as a digital entity.

While it must be stated that Al Mualim was not a Templar, it is interesting to me that his vision of peace was more in line with Templar philosophy then Assassin. In the past, both sides has the same goal, that of peace. Our only difference was how we chose to achieve it.

A Helix research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment obtained a number of personal and hacked files while assigned to relive Shay Cormac's genetic memories in 2014.[1]
My Animus session triggered a virus hidden in the Shay Cormac file. I've been tasked with assisting two security contractors, Violet da Costa and Otso Berg. Violet knows her stuff, but what's Berg's story? Questions can wait, we have to work together to restore the Helix servers.
I rounded up all the stray tablets littered about the place. They should really password protect their email. And is it me, or does this look like a map? And if it's a map, who put it there? More questions than answers.
I've managed to repair computers for my friends and colleagues and remove any files that might expose them to dangerous secrets. They'll never know to thank me, but I'm sure I can guilt them into buying me a few drinks.
1. Emergency Manual
Internal diagnostics have detected a malfunction in the building's operating systems. This emergency manual has been programmed to replace the message section of your communicator.
To ensure your personal safety, please keep your communicator with you at all times and refer to this manual as needed.
Abstergo Entertainment cares about the safety and well-being of all its valuable assets. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
2. Abstergo Industries VIPs
On rare occasions VIPs from Abstergo Industries may be on site. They may impose on you certain requests for information or services that you feel may or may not fall under your jurisdiction or mandate.
Abstergo Industries VIPs are to be obeyed without question or hesitation. Failure to do so will result in disciplinary actions and possible termination.
3. Communicators
Your communicator is an essential part of your daily life at Abstergo Industries. It should be on your person at all times as it allows you access to various parts of the building.
Should you find a communicator anywhere in the building, we recommend that you collect it and identify its owner. While the owner will face consequences for losing it, it is a mistake they will only make once.
4. Computer Maintenance
In the case of network corruption, it is your duty as an Abstergo employee to safeguard not only your data, but the data of your friends and colleagues.
If you see a computer or workstation left unattended during an emergency, take a moment to restore it and make sure that its vulnerable contents are not easily accessible to unauthorized personnel.
The data is as important as you are.
5. Security
Please respect your Non Disclosure Agreement. Our work here is exciting and confidential. Security breaches will not be tolerated.
This past year has seen many leaks of internal information get out to the public. Do not speak about your work with fellow travelers on airplanes, for example. Do not engage the so-called entertainment media without a PR representative with you.
It is embarrassing to the company and threatening to your job security.
6. The Bunker
From time to time, you may wake up from an Animus session in unfamiliar surroundings. In such drastic cases, it is likely you are being investigated as a security risk, and we have placed you in the bunker for your protection while we run background checks on you.
If you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry about. Your release is sure to be forthcoming.
7. Dress Code
Hooded sweatshirts of any kind are not permitted within the building. If you see any individual wearing a hood of any kind, report them to security immediately. Should the weather be unpleasant, we strongly recommend the use of umbrellas.
Anyone displaying an overt fondness for the colour gray should also be treated with suspicion.
8. Bleeding Effect
Overexposure to the Animus may result in something called the "Bleeding Effect" where reality becomes indistinguishable from the genetic memories in which you immerse yourself daily. It is possible that the emergency or obstacle you are facing is not there in reality.
For example: If you see a fire, take steps to ensure the fire is real before you act. QUICKLY and carefully, touch the fire.
If the fire is real, remove your hand and proceed to the nearest exit in a calm and orderly manner.
If the fire was a hallucination, proceed to section 11.
9. Server Maintenance
Helix is the engine that powers Abstergo Entertainment. From time to time, it will be necessary to perform maintenance on the servers to ensure that business continues to run smoothly. We recommend that you take courses on server maintenance. Courses are offered every month, at no charge.
Should a server fail, you will emerge as a hero to your colleagues and superiors if you are able to restore the core segments that power our cloud servers.
10. Hackers
Abstergo's revolutionary Helix servers are an attractive target to many types of criminals and malcontents. It is important that you do your part to keep our cloud secure and report any anomalous behavior with your Animus workstation or any other Abstergo equipment in the building
11. Psychiatric Care
At times, the deadline of virtual feature development can feel overwhelming. Abstergo Entertainment has a variety of resources for you.
Refresh yourself with complimentary Herne+ energy drinks. Revitalize your body with personalized routines programmed into a Bodyband exercise bracelet.
Our in-house psychiatrist can prescribe you Midazolam and a stunning array of Abstergo pharmaceuticals to ease your mental anguish and delay the onset of the Bleeding Effect.

| Hi Robert,
You come highly recommended and I'm thrilled to have you in our studio. I'm putting you to work on a special project for me. Your subject is Arno Dorian. His story takes place during the French Revolution! I want you to explore every avenue of his life that you can. The goal is to have a new blockbuster to present to the Abstergo brass nest year. As such, this is SUPER classified. Your direct supervisor will be Aidan St. Claire (cc'ed) You can ONLY discuss the project with Aidan or myself. As you'll probably be logging some overtime in your Animus, I've added a mandatory weekly meeting with our psychiatrist Dr. Bibeau (cc'ed) to make sure you're not suffering from any Bleeding Effect. Welcome to Abstergo Entertainment! Don't let me down. :) M.L. | |

| Hey, I just read the final text for the first episode:
"Last of the heroic Knights Templar, Jacques de Molay was a man of principle, a towering intellect betrayed by the man he trusted most—the corrupt King of France." LOVE IT. And I think our users are going to love it too! This is going to be the crown jewel of our Helix launch in the fall! Great job everyone! M.L. | |

| Subject: | History's Hitmen Altair |
| Hi M-O!
I understand your concerns, given that we already have passed on several of these historical figures in previous market analyses. Having said that, I think we can use a lot of this data to present these people not as fictional action heroes, but as the focus of historical documentaries. After a few iterations, we've come up with this as our best angle: "Amid the chaos of the Crusades, one man's moral transgressions tower above all others. Experience firsthand what is means to be a remorseless killing machine in an age of philosophical turmoil." These could be in a series, something like "History's Hitmen?" haha, that's turbo lame, but you get the idea. Or they could be standalone. Maybe this one can be "Murder in the Levant" or something like that. We're going to commission a few features using these controversial figures for Helix's launch. Let's see how they do and then well discuss continuing the series or trying something else. Thanks for your honest feedback, it's always appreciated! M.L. | |

| Hi M-O!
I agree that Ezio's shady character makes him unsuitable for a leading role. So maybe we can take him out altogether and create a virtual tourism feature? Something like: "Travel to the Italian Renaissance for a taste of wine, free thought, and filthy hearts as Abstergo Entertainment shows you the true meaning of enlightenment. Attend wild parties, witness spectacles unseen for 500 years, and rub elbows with the most famous nerd the world has ever known, Leonardo da Vinci." I'm also considering a series focusing on some notable serial killers of history, Ezio certainly qualifies. Anyways, have a think and let me know what you come up with! M.L. | |

| Hi M-O!
I think we should focus on George Washington, rather than Connor. "Washington and the Wolf" has a nice ring to it. "Take part in the unlikely friendship between America's most revered hero, General George Washington, and a sullen Mohawk native named Connor—a stirring tale of violence, revenge and betrayal set during the earliest years of the American Revolution." George Washington we can franchise. I don't know that we'd get more than one feature out of Connor. Plus, don't even get me started on his wife or the way he died. What a mess. M.L. | |

| Subject: | Haytham Kenway |
| Just to keep you in the loop. I heard back from editorial this morning. The story itself is untouched, but this is going to be the menu text for the Haytham Kenway feature:
"Devoted patriot, celebrated scholar, loving father. Exclusive to Helix, witness the rise and martyrdom of one of the American Revolution's least known heroes. A Helix exclusive!" I think it fits perfectly with the title you've chosen, "The Lone Eagle". Haytham's going to appeal to a wide audience, and his story is going to definitely going to give people a bad case of "THE FEELS" as those internet kids like to say. Oh my God I'm old, aren't I?

| We have Devils of the Caribbean taken from his genetic memories. But I think we can do more. Is there a way we can spin a cautionary tale around his actual life?
Alternatively, do we know anything about his life once he returned to England? I know his family had a big mansion in London somewhere. Is it still standing? I don't want to give the impression that the studio is just reusing the same genetic memories over and over, so while I want to recycle assets to save money, the experience has to be totally fresh.

| Subject: | Aveline de Grandpre |
| I'd like to explore the possibility of a follow up to Liberation. We found footage of Aveline's activities in New England, and it seems clear that she was still very active later in life.
Ideally, I'd like a sequel to Liberation or some kind of follow up, but I understand that's going to take some resources that we don't have right now. A quick fix option is to re-use existing assets and take a more family-friendly angle on her story: "From a scrappy servant to a woman of dignity and poise, experience the heartwarming 18th century take of a young Creole woman as she struggles to find her long-lost mother and heal the wounds of separation forever." Additionally, "The Liberation of Lady Aveline" might open up some revenue from women, which is a demographic I think we have been ignoring for too long now. M.L. | |

| I am starting to have second thoughts about doing a feature on Robert de Sable. While he was a good leader, I just don't know if there's anything about a knight that fought and died during the Crusades that makes him stand out.
I'm wondering if we can leave him aside for now, and focus on Madeleine de L'Isle? A successful business woman in pre-colonial Louisiana is more of a feel-good success story. M.L. | |

| I think focusing on his dysfunctional life is the wrong track to take. I've modified your initial pitch, and I would suggest going for something like this:
"Rodrigo Borgia's quest to reform the irrational excesses and corruptions of the Catholic Church from its highest office—the Papacy. Experience firsthand his rise, his reforms, and his untimely death." The program itself is top notch, though. Great work! Give my best to your team! :) M.L. | |

| Hi,
After looking over the footage that you presented, I've decided that rather than dedicate an entire feature to the loathsome Cesare Borgia, We'll use it to add some spice and conflict to the existing Rodrigo Borgia piece. Cesare is just too much of an asshole to have his own show! M.L. | |

| So, if I'm reading your reports properly, you're saying that Giovanni Borgia was born deformed, miraculously survived, but frequently hallucinated about past lives and associated with some of the biggest occultists of the Renaissance?
That's AMAZING! Out last supernatural movie, "They Walk Among Us" was met with really mediocre reviews. If we can use these genetic memories to start a new occult thriller franchise, we might be able to win back some of those disgruntled fans! M.L. | |

When it's done, I'd like to talk about using MySore Tech [sic] to remaster other traditional forms of entertainment (concerts or sporting events, for example) into fully immersive Animus experiences.

| We first got a glimpse of Shao Jun while in the Ezio Auditore section of Sample 17. With so much demand for "Strong Female Characters" right now, do you think we can focus some R&D into finding her genetic material?
There is some evidence connecting her to the Jiajing Emperor. Who by all historical accounts, was a cruel jackass. Great villain potential. If memory serves, I think there was also a Mongol invasion around that time! There's a lot of potential for a great new action franchise! M.L. | |

You're getting great data from Fiora Cavazza, but I just want to chime in now, and say that I don't want to focus too much on her early life as a courtesan in the Rosa in Fiore. Rather, I want to focus on the intrigue and tension when she betrays her gang. I cannot stress enough how much I do not want Fiora to be perceived as a over-sexualized object, but rather as a cunning spy, who has to make difficult choices to overcome life-threatening obstacles. I'm going to be on your ass about this, to always err on the side of good taste! I believe in you! M.L. | |

Remember when you said you wanted to see MMA events through an Animus?

We're going to have concerts and historical tourism, but I made sure we got some combat sports, just for you, my dear! We're going to have a series called "The Best of Tornedo de Combate", Brazil's biggest promotion. Their CEO (find?) was a bit of a dick, but the Abstergo name carries a lot of weight, so that definitely helped us out :) Volume 1 is going to include fighters like Guilherme Venancio, Arend Schut, and Luis Otavio Duris! Means nothing to me, but I hope you're excited! M.L. | |

I want to diversify our programming a bit and attract a big ofsic the fringe element in terms of customer base. With that in mind, I thought a new series focused on crazy conspiracy shit might be right up your alley. A few subjects to focus on:
I'd like to see if we can get some big time celebrities to narrate these things. Now, at first glance, they'll probably balk at the subject matter, but I bet if we feed them the script in chunks that are out of order, we can easily manipulate them into thinking they are participating in a proper science documentary.
