| *'''Narrator:''' ''TBA.'' | | *'''[[Ctibor Hašek |Ctibor]]:''' ''It is 4:26 on December 13, 2012. Debriefing of Sigma Team's Cairo Operation. Debriefing conducted by: Abstergo Psychiatrist Ctibor Hašek, level 7, and Director of Operations [[Laetitia England]], level 9. State your name and rank for the record'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Juhani Otso Berg. Service number OP114-8506-B. [[Master Templar]].'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''How would you classify the result of your Cairo mission, Master Berg?'' |
| | *''' Berg:''' ''I would call it a complete success. The new Sigma Team performed admirably.'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''That's going a bit far, don't you think?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''The target [[William Miles]] was apprehended and the [[Isu|First Civilization]] artifact was retrieved. Both were handed off to Warren Vidic without incident. May I ask how you would rate the mission?'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''We're pleased with the results, but not with the methods with which you achieved them.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I see. May I ask why?'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''You went off mission. You were supposed to apprehend the target at the airport, not at {{Wiki|Egyptian Museum|the museum}}.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''When the target emerged from the plane, he was posing as a tour guide for a class of high school students on a field trip.'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''A member of Sigma Team informed us that you aborted the mission then and there.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I will not deny this, but tell me: Who talked?'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''I cannot reveal that.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''No matter. I will find out on my own. Back to business: The target was very smart, but also very sloppy.'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''Explain.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''The target possessed [[Blending|advanced counter-surveillance techniques]], but lacked the skills to implement them properly.'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''The target was trained as an [[Assassin]] since birth.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I am aware. However, it has been many years since he was an active field agent. He must have been very desperate to go himself, as these days, he is more of a talker. A puppet master.'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''And what are you?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''A predator.'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''A predator who defied orders because of the presence of some schoolgirls.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I prefer to think of myself as one who can choose the most opportune time to strike. The last time I followed orders to the letter was in Florence. That did not end well for anyone.'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''Was it that, or did the students perhaps remind you of your daughter?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I separate my work and personal life completely.'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''Your daughter's recovery has been remarkable. I do hope her progress continues...'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Please don't.'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''I beg your pardon?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I find your attempt to threaten my child vulgar and unnecessary.'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''Explain.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Abstergo's pharmaceuticals have given my child a chance at life free from pain. And I have at last found what I believe to be my calling in life.'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''And for that, we expect obedience.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''For that, you have my loyalty. The involvement of the children in [[Egypt]] compromised the original mission. Nothing more.'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''We already have one Master Templar that we can barely control. I don't like the idea of having two loose cannons out there.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''With all due respect to Master Cross, while he is gifted, he is mentally disturbed.'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''We mean no disrespect. But after losing your team in Florence, we felt a need to keep a close eye on you.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I achieved all mission objectives, and achieved them without bloodshed. So my only question for you is: Am I in command of Sigma Team or not?'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''As you said, the results were impeccable.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Then I believe this meeting to be at an end. I request permission to leave.'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''Do you have something more important to do?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I am going to find out who among my team talked to you. I will not tolerate that kind of insubordination.'' |
| | *'''Laetitia:''' ''I think we can stop here.'' |
| | *'''Ctibor:''' ''Debriefing ended at 4:34. Transcript to be sent to [[Alan Rikkin]] for security clearance.'' |

| *'''Narrator:''' ''TBA.'' | | *'''Violet:''' ''Okay. The Numbskull is in another Animus session, and I have acquired caffeine. All is right with the world.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Good.'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''This isn't really your kind of mission, is it, boss?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Every mission is important in its own way.'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''Still, I bet you'd rather be out with the rest of the team, hunting [[Shaun Hastings]] or something.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Wouldn't you?'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''Hell yeah. I want a front row seat for that show.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Any word from Sorkin?'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''He's scheduled to update me in... 43 minutes.'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Good.'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''can I ask you something?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Of course.'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''What's it like, using an Animus?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I went through the Animi Training Program. It felt like the drills we used to do in the Utti Jaeger.'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''You never used a normal Animus, like this one? To relive your own genetic history?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Only once.'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''Really? Who were you?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''I was a young man... On the {{Wiki|Vikings|Viking}} {{Wiki|Lindisfarne#Vikings|raid}} on Lindsifarne.''[sic] |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''793. Northeastern coast of [[England]]. Sorry. History nerd! So how was it?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''It was summer, good sailing weather. The monastery was a center for {{Wiki|Celtic Christianity|religious studies}} and we crashed into the city like a tidal wave.'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''And? And?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''We pillaged and burned. They thought we were demons. The details of the memory were so vivid... I lost myself in the bloodlust. I defeated a {{Wiki|Saxons|Saxon}}, a great warrior, but did not kill want to kill him. I invited him to join our clan. '' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''Oh! Norse adoption rituals! The chance to sail the world with the Vikings!'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''Yes, a chance to see the world as it really is.'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''What happened then?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''He wept. Then he cried out that {{Wiki|God}} had abandoned his people and that nothing remained but chaos. I felt such pity for him. I killed him without a second thought.'' |
| | *'''Violet:''' ''After we're done here, are we have to kill the Numbskull?'' |
| | *'''Berg:''' ''We will see.'' |
