| The Historical Research Division was inspired by the works of Dr. [[Warren Vidic]], a pioneer in the field of genetic memory science. Vidic’s work needed raw data reaching beyond what was available at the time. The historical Research Division was quickly put together at first to accommodate Abstergo in its research, but then soon took on a life of its own. | | The Historical Research Division was inspired by the works of Dr. [[Warren Vidic]], a pioneer in the field of genetic memory science.

| I swear, I get more done reading the latest copy of Wired on the toilet than the rest of the guys do all day in the lab. I mean, the “Bodyband”? Really? If people can’t take a walk on their own, they aren’t going to listen to a watch that tells them to do it either. This is all so pointless. I should go back to… wait. That's probably what the Bodyband would tell me to do. What I should do is build something that will simultaneously blow people's minds and the doors off the Animus Project. Nothing at Abstergo Fitness is gonna be big enough for that. I'm bored as hell, but there's nothing like boredom to stimulate creativity. [clicks her tongue thoughtfully] Yup. I think the Bodyband needs a little adjustment to its language processing program. | | I swear, I get more done reading the latest copy of Wired on the toilet than the rest of the guys do all day in the lab.

She wanted me to meet Deanna Geary, my new medical officer. She looks like she was born in the middle of a cornfield, but she seems okay. I can't believe she left homemade cookies on my desk. I don't know why I told her about getting stood up last weekend. I never talk about personal stuff at work. At least it seems like I can trust her. You need that, to stay alive in the field. Too bad most of Abstergo's tactical units don't consider trust a priority. | | The right decision always feels like home. My stuff's the same. My locker smells the same. It's like I never left.

| So here's the [[Greece|Greek]] mythology rundown, for the [[Assassins]] who might have been asleep in classics class. [[Zeus]], king of the gods and bringer of storms, gets together with [[Demeter]], goddess of the harvest. Sounds like a weird match, but compared to Zeus' track record this was actually kind of healthy. They have a daughter, [[Persephone]], who's supposed to be beautiful, pure, the whole maiden goddess bit. [[Hades]], riding a [[chariot]] pulled by demonic immortal horses, gets his kidnap on and drags her down to the underworld. (That scene's a favorite subject of [[Victorian era|Victorian]] dude artists, to no one's surprise.) Anyway, Demeter throws a (totally justified) fit, stopping any plants from growing. Pretty soon, Greece is starving and mortals are begging for hostage negotiations. Hades agrees to return Persephone but claims a loophole: she's eaten a few pomegranate seeds, which counts as eating the food of the dead, so she's got to return for part of the year. To the ancient Greeks, that's where winter comes from. To the Isu, that's why a dysfunctional couple is warring over control of the underworld. | | So here's the Greek mythology rundown, for the [[Assassins]] who might have been asleep in classics class. [[Zeus]], king of the gods and bringer of storms, gets together with [[Demeter]], goddess of the harvest. Sounds like a weird match, but compared to Zeus' track record this was actually kind of healthy. They have a daughter, [[Persephone]], who's supposed to be beautiful, pure, the whole maiden goddess bit. [[Hades]], riding a [[chariot]] pulled by demonic immortal horses, gets his kidnap on and drags her down to the underworld. (That scene's a favorite subject of [[Victorian era|Victorian]] dude artists, to no one's surprise.) Anyway, Demeter throws a (totally justified) fit, stopping any plants from growing. Pretty soon, Greece is starving and mortals are begging for hostage negotiations.

| OK, even if you're a classics n00b, you know this one: a dude who posts gym selfies kissing his biceps? That's an [[Adonis]]. The Adonis of mythology was the handsome-but-mortal lover of [[Aphrodite]]. His background story is messed up even by mythological standards. {{Wiki|Myrrha|His mother}} got on the wrong side of Aphrodite, who cursed her. I'll spare you the details, but {{Wiki|Cinyras|her father}} gets her pregnant. Aphrodite felt maybe a little guilty about that, so she took Adonis to the underworld to be raised by Persephone. Years later, Aphrodite came back for Adonis and lo and behold, falls for his perfect physique. Persephone was already into him (I told you this was messed up), and the two divine women started arguing over who should get Adonis. Zeus (of all beings!) came up with a solution: Adonis would spend a third of his time with Aphrodite, a third with Persephone, and a third by himself to work on his cardio routine. Well, not quite, but it might explain why the Adonis Kassandra met was a little confused. | | OK, even if you're a classics n00b, you know this one: a dude who posts gym selfies kissing his biceps?

| | So the great Eagle Bearer traveled all the way to the land of the [[Picts]]. I wonder what else the legendary mercenary might have accomplished after leaving Greece centuries ago. Aletheia's memory was well accompanied by Kassandra. I only wish it could have been me instead. |
| | |-|A Note Regarding Kassandra #2= |
| | This must be a first. Eivor actually met Kassandra. This means that Layla, as an Animis host, met a previous Animus host in the simulation. Could Layla have nosticed anthing odd in the Animus brought on by Kassandra's sudden appearance? Note only that, but could the Staff have sensed Layla's presence as its current Keeper? I have so many questions for her. |
