The Observatory was a First Civilization complex, in the area that would become Long Bay, Jamaica, that allowed for the remote viewing of an individual's vision though the use of a Crystall Skull.
The Observatory operated by placing a vial, containing a drop of blood from the person to be observed, into the Crystal Skull – which itself sat in an armillary sphere – the device would then project what the person was seeing and hearing into the room. Around the central altar, there were a number of rows of seats, which would allow for a large number of people to view the projection at any one time.
If the Crystal Skull was removed, the complex activated a lethal security system, which could only be deactivated, in most circumstances, by a Sage. If left in operation, the system would project walls of energy at regular intervals, strong enough to vaporize humans on contact; it also caused the interior of the structure to shift and separate into several platforms, in order to make traversal of the complex difficult. During such instances, the only apparent way to deactivate the security system was to return the Crystal Skull back into the complex's armillary sphere.
Outside the main viewing chamber, the Observatory housed a large number of vials, containing the blood of numerous First Civilization individuals.
History
In 1718, the Observatory was visited by the Sage Bartholomew Roberts and Edward Kenway, a fellow pirate. In this instance, Edward was betrayed and sealed inside the complex by Roberts, by managed to escape via secondary exit.
Four years later, in 1722, Edward once again visited the complex, this time in pursuit of the Laureano de Torres y Ayala, Templar Grand Master in the Caribbean. By this point, the blood vials had been removed.
In 2013 it was noted by an Abstergo Entertainment employee that whilst the Observatory's observational facilities were on a par with modern-day surveillance techniques, and thus not entirely important to the Templar Order, the location of the blood vials would provide them with an abundance ofFirst Civilization genetic material to work with.
