We're all ready. Meet me at reception.<br>Hello. Did you get lost? | |||
*[CUT?]Sorry. Cloud servers are offline for a few minutes while I do some... uh... maintenance. But they'll be back online as soon as you run my errand. Get it? | |||
*[CUT]If you need to use the toilets they're just here, on the right.<br>Might be a few newspapers laying around too.<br>Head to the right of Olivier's office. If the receptionist complains, act like you're using the toilets.<br>If we're low on toilet paper just give me a shout, okay?<br>Ok, this may be tricky. You need to move some sensitive data around. | |||
*Go to the window. NOW!<br>You want me to keep you locked in here forever? Until security finds you? Go to the window! | |||
*Where the hell are you going? Get down to the lobby.<br>GO TO THE LOBBY! NOW!<br>Go on back to work. We'll be in touch.<br>That means you! | |||
*I've marked the server for you, numbskull. Are you that dense?<br>Excellent. Now you can remotely hack the computer containing the log files. | |||
*Yeah, look... I don't care what it tastes like, mate. That is a bloody Cappuccino. That is the button I pressed.<br>Yes, hang on, please.<br>Latte for Steven![FR][Un latte.](A latte.) Steven?<br>[mumbling to himself]What a crap detail, my God. Shoot me now.<br>Don't be shy!<br>Come check out the view.<br>A beautiful city, no?<br>Up to the penthouse! Yeah? | |||
*[FR][C'est quel band, déjà, que t'aimes bien ? Je crois que j'ai vu le chanteur dans un café sur Rachel.](What's that band you like? I think I saw the lead singer in the Cafe on Rachel.)<br>[FR][Lequel ?](Which one?)<br>[FR][Celui au coin de Rachel et Charlemagne.](On Rachel and Charlemagne.)<br>[FR][Non, quel groupe ?](No, which band.)<br>[FR][Oh, je sais pas. Le gars était vraiment grand, avec des cheveux longs et raides.](Oh, I don't know. He was really tall. With long straight hair.)<br>[FR][Bowie?](Bowie?)<br>[FR][Non, pas Bowie. Qu'est-ce qu'il ferait ici ? C'est un groupe du coin.](No, not Bowie. Why would he be here? It's a local band.)<br>[FR][Ouais... Moi, j'aime plus trop les groupes du coin.](Hm. I don't really like any local bands anymore.)<br>[FR][Bah, laisse faire.](Oh, forget it.) | |||
*Have you had a chance to go over the Marketing test results?<br>You mean the... | |||
*[FR] [Eh, Jérôme t'a parlé de la cabane à sucre, au printemps prochain ? On sera quelques-uns à y aller… Matt, Max, Jeremy, Aaron…](Hey, did Jerome tell you about the {{wikiSugar Shack}} next spring? There’s a bunch of us going... Matt, Max, Jeremy, Aaron.)<br>[FR] [Jonathan m'en a parlé. Je lui ai dit de me garder deux places.](Jonathan did. I told him to put me down for two.) | |||
*How'd the playtests go?<br>Incredible. We were able to keep a constant stream of five Gigs a second. | |||
*Did you hear they're holding a contest to pick the best name for our cloud servers?<br>Who's "they?" | |||
*[FR] [Hey, qu'est ce que tu fais quoi, en fin de semain? Si ça te tente, on pourrait aller surfer la vague derrière l'Habitat 67 ? Une dernière fois avant qu'il fasse trop froid ?](What are you doing this weekend? You want to hit the {{wiki|Habitat 67 (standing wave)|endless wave}} behind {{wiki|Habitat 67}}?

*Have you ever actually MET this guy, John... the one down in I.T.?<br>Yeah, I think so. He's super arrogant. | |||
*[FR] [Hey, écoute, j'ai... euh... j'ai deux billets pour un spectacle à Sala, ce soir. Ça, euh… ça, ça te dirait d'y aller ?](Hey, I have two tickets to a show at Sala tonight... would, uh, would you like to go?)<br>[FR] [J'ai déjà prévu d'y aller. Avec mon chum.](I'm already going to that show. My boyfriend's taking me.) | |||
*Let me out of here! Please! Someone help me! Where am I? Can anyone hear me? Anyone! Hello? | |||
*[FR][Je l'ai bien cherché. C'est de ma faute. Tout est ma faute. J'aurais dû faire mon travail. J'aurais dû faire attention. Pourquoi je suis allé me promener au lieu de faire ce qu'on me demandait ?] (I deserve this. It's my fault, I know this. It's all my fault. I should have stayed on task. I should have paid attention, not wandered. I should have stuck to the task list.) | |||
*They're testing me. I know it. This is all part of the employee training program. Exercises for the mind. If I stay focused... if I just keep calm... they'll promote me. It's like hazing... a test before the big win. Just stay calm. | |||
*[FR][Je sais qui vous êtes ! Je sais tout, bande de trous de cul ! Vous êtes des Templiers ! Vous êtes tous des Templiers ! Vous pensez garder votre petit secret pour toujours ? Voyons donc! Vous pensez pouvoir vous cacher ? Oh, non ! J'ai une tonne de preuves !](I know you you are! I know everything you bastards! You're Templars! You're all Templars. You think you can hide this secret forever? You think you can hide? Oh no! I have all the evidence I need!) | |||
*You didn't get hacked, did you?<br>No, that was Sabrina. She's been on vacation for a while. | |||
*What is it with all these emails we're getting about heightened security restrictions? Did something happen?<br>You didn't hear about the hacker? | |||
*[FR][C'est quoi, ces niaiseries d'artéfact ? Toi aussi, t'as eu ce mémo ?](What is this artifact bullshit? Did you get the same memo?)<br>[FR][Je crois pas, non.](I don't think so.) | |||
*Aveline isn't part of the Sample 17 bloodline, is she?<br>No, she's from Sample 1. A donor from the earliest days of the Animus program. | |||
*It's madness around here, isn't it? This is the craziest week I've seen in four years.<br>What do you mean? | |||
*Hey, how's the Trailer going?<br>The "Caribbean Devils" trailer? Really good. We have a fine-cut finished. Just a few tweaks and we're ready. | |||
*I really hope I we find an ancestor who lived in feudal Japan. I want to visit that. Or Ancient Egypt. I've heard people talk about that.<br>Well, I've seen pictures of the guy who donated Sample 17. Good looking kid, but hard to pin down. Could have all kinds of ancestors. | |||
*If they had better restaurants out here, this place would be perfect.<br>I treat myself to long lunches some days. Spend a bit extra, take the metro into town. 10 minutes.<br>That's a good idea. Six bucks round trip.<br>Exactly. And you have the whole {{wiki|RÉSO}} to wander around.<br>Wait... you go all the way into town so you can eat at the Mall? Come on man. | |||
*[FR][J'ai demandé à faire des recherches sur Connor Kenway, mais ils l'ont refilé à un anglophone !] (I put in a request to research Connor Kenway, but they gave him to an Anglophone!)<br>[FR][C'est toujours pareil, c'est pour une histoire de langue. Peut-être que le Sujet 17 avait des ancêtres français ?](That's typical. It's a language thing. Maybe Subject 17 had a few French relatives?]<br>I speak English just fine.<br>[FR] [Ouais, mais toutes ces expressions du XVIIIe me font capoter. Ça pourrait être de l'allemand.](Yeah, but all those 18th century idioms are crazy. It might as well be German.)<br>[FR][Ouais peut-être. Mais peut-être aussi que Lafayette était de sa famille?](I suppose so. Maybe Lafayette was one of his relatives.)<br>[FR] [Probablement pas. Mais, c'est vrai que ce serait cool.](Probably not Lafayette. But, yeah, that would be cool.) | |||
*Pierre handed in his notice this morning. This new security measure is freaking people out.<br>They won't let him go. It's part of our contract. Having ultra-high security clearance means you have to go through a whole debriefing process. It takes months.<br>Really? I had no idea.<br>Read the fine print man. Working for Abstergo has its benefits, but there are some drawbacks too. Big ones. | |||
*What’s with all these security notices I'm seeing lately?<br>Just a standard message we use on occasion. Nothing to worry about. We've just had some issues around the office lately.<br>Like, server security issues? Because these notices seem pretty severe. Like, draconian actually.<br>No, no. It's nothing to worry about, really. Walk with me and I'll explain. | |||
*Hey thanks for sharing the White Whale data with me. I was able to track it down myself.<br>No problem, man. It's amazing, right?<br>Yeah, I tracked it down as soon as I saw your message. Followed it for a while... couldn't catch it though. | |||
*So you managed everything ok?<br>Yeah thanks for that – it was a big help.<br>The body has been moved?<br>Yes sir. And preserved. We'll do what we can.<br>Good. Let’s keep security units on standby. I know Miss Lemay said the situation was under control, but I have a feeling we may be needing them again soon. | |||
*Marco! Missed you at the Lumiere festival last night.<br>I was there. We talked for an hour before going down!<br>We did? When?<br>At Nouveau Palais. We shared a booth before taking a Taxi downtown. You don't remember? You kept talking about how damn cold it was.<br>Shit. Eliane brought Mezcal to dinner. I don't remember much after dessert.[beat] How was the show?<br>Great. Really beautiful.[Beat] You seemed like you were having fun.<br>That's good. | |||
*[FR][Non, moi non plus, je ne sais pas où elle est. J'ai entendu dire qu'elle était partie en pleurant, je ne sais pas trop pourquoi, et qu'elle était pas revenue.](No I don’t know where she is either – she’s just not here. I heard that she ran off crying about something and hasn’t come back.)<br>[FR][Evidemment, si je la vois, je lui dirai que tu as appelé.](Of course if I find her I’ll let her know you called.)<br>[FR][Toi aussi. Au revoir !](You too. Goodbye!) | |||
*So did Edward really meet all those pirates? The famous ones?<br>Yes, he did. Blackbeard, Calico Jack, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Bartholomew Roberts.<br>Crazy. Nassau must have been a wild place.<br>For a while, yeah. But not after... well. I don't want to spoil it. | |||
*And they pay out bonuses too. Inconvenience Pay, they call it.<br>Really? That's actually kind of nice. | |||
*Yeah... yeah, he was killed... shot in the chest multiple times... no, no that shouldn't be a problem... we collected more than enough data-- we'll know soon enough... mm-hm, mm-hm... all right... All right I can send you the results as soon as possible... Okay... any word on Olivier... dammit... God I'm worried sick... yeah... all right... thanks Laetitia... bye. | |||
*o problem – I remember the first time I did this for more than an hour. I had similar kinds of effects from the Animus. [Beat] Just if it happens again have a word with Melanie and see if it needs checking out.<br>OK. | |||
*I’m glad that’s over. I hate it when they escalate the security. Makes me jumpy.<br>Did they put anyone in the bunker this time?<br>Just for a few days, I think. It sucks, but... I suppose it's necessary? We deal with some really sensitive data.<br>Classified shit, yeah. I don't know how I feel about it but... It's in our contracts, so... | |||
*Look, I saw the official statement. They're claiming it was a heart attack. So that's that.<br>But you saw the guy’s wrist, didn't you? There was a cross! Don't tell me that's just a coincidence.<br>Officially, yes. It's a coincidence. End of story.<br>Officially...[FR][Merde.](shit.) And what about Unofficially.<br>Unofficially... I don't know. I want to believe the best, but I always fear the worst.[Beat] Now stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. | |||
