====Modern day====
=====First anomaly=====
*'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Becs, are you seeing this?''
*'''Rebecca Crane:''' ''Yeah, it's weird. An anomaly of some kind. The rest of your simulation is frozen.''
*'''Layla:''' ''I can see a loose data package close by. I'll see if I can reach it.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Okay, but take it slow. We don't know what this thing is.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Becs, I'm closing in on the data packet.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Got it.''
=====Second anomaly=====
*'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Becs, I found another anomaly.''
*'''Rebecca Crane:''' ''Is that what we're calling them?''
*'''Layla:''' ''And another data packet. Should I get it?''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''If it's anything like the last one, absolutely.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Hey, are you two hearing the same voices I'm hearing?''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Not sure what you mean. It's all quiet on our end.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Dammit. Well, I'm at the second packet. You ready?''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''I'm ready.''
*'''Layla:''' ''I got the data. Sending it now.''
=====Third anomaly=====
*'''Rebecca Crane:''' ''Your signal is flickering. Another anomaly?''
*'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Yeah. Are you losing touch with me when I find these?''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Yeah, unfortunately. For a few minutes at a time.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Damn. Try to stay with me if you can. I need you to hear these.''
*'''Shaun Hastings:''' ''Hey, Becs! Layla's back! I see her here ... blipping and bleeping on your monitor.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Layla, hey. Becs is fiddling with the back end. Trying to get a fix on you.''
*'''Layla:''' ''No luck?''
*'''Shaun:''' ''No luck. But she did show me how to decrypt your data packets. I just click a button when you've grabbed the data bits.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Got it.''
=====Fourth anomaly=====
*'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Anomaly four. Becs, you really have to hear this in here. Two voices, definitely Isu. One of them is Aletheia, I think.''
*'''Rebecca Crane:''' ''From the staff?''
*'''Layla:''' ''Yeah. But I don't think these are contemporary. They feel candid. Accidental.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''I'll keep trying.''
*'''Shaun Hastings:''' ''Layla, it's Shaun. I'm sifting through the videos you've been finding. This is an absolute gold mine, I hope you realize.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Feels like it.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''This is literally the clearest raw memory-stream footage we've ever seen from the Isu era. Only question is, who's feeding them to you?''
*'''Layla:''' ''Got it.''
=====Fifth anomaly=====
*'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Here we go again.''
*'''Shaun Hastings:''' ''Hey, it's Shaun here. Hum... Becs is trying to cook up a trace of some kind. Hoping to find out where this raw data is coming from.
*'''Layla:''' ''It's not in Eivor's DNA is it?''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Can't be. Feels too deliberate. Like someone wants you to see it.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Becs, any progress?''
*'''Rebecca Crane:''' ''Nothing yet. Whoever put these here made a surgical incision into our server. They dumped this data and backed out before anyone noticed.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Oddly enough, that's how Rebecca describes our wedding night. Which I find rude...''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Hasting, get off the mic.''
*'''Layla:''' ''I got it. Be ready.''
=====Sixth anomaly=====
*'''Rebecca Crane:''' ''Layla. How are you holding up?''
*'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Not bad, actually. These anomalies feel second nature now.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Hey hey, you trying to freak me out? My God, just let me work.''
*'''Layla:''' ''All right, closing in on another one.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Sorry to freak you out earlier. It's just, the Animus can be dangerous. Prolonged exposure is hard on a brain.''
*'''Layla:''' ''I know. I just ... I wanna finish this.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Yes. Definitely. Jump out whenever you feel worn down.''
*'''Layla:''' ''I got the data. Here it comes.''
=====Seventh anomaly=====
*'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Anomaly number seven, if I'm counting right.''
*'''Rebecca Crane:''' ''You are. Just a few more to go. Ten in total.''
*'''Layla:''' ''Ten. Okay, I can do ten. Does the Animus give achievements for stuff like this?''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Sorry? Does it what?''
*'''Layla:''' ''Forget it.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''You're getting good at these, Layla.''
*'''Layla:''' ''I'm an engineer. These puzzles are child's play.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Still, it's physical and mental. That can't be easy.''
*'''Layla:''' ''That's true. I never had to swim through any fluid dynamics equations to solve them.''
*'''Layla:''' ''I got the data. Here it comes.''

Cold, even icy to the touch, this shield seems of another era or another world altogether. Made of a strange material, it emanates an even stronger aura.
A heavy axe, said to have been thrown across the River Trent by Ivarr the Boneless in an effort to cleave Thegn Leofrith in two. Subsequently given by Leofrith to King Burgred as a token of fealty.
One of Ealdorman Wigmund's prized treasures. He was more likely to eat roasted pork off this shield than carry it into battle. A pity, for it might have served him well.
A gruesome skull attached to a length of chain. Clearly a message saying that anyone who stands front of you [sic] will immediately kiss the frozen lips of death.
Sometimes, discretion is not the better part of valor. When that happens, a sturdy shield will go a long way to help.

VENICE//ITALY//1485
Leonardo da Vinci was extremely interested in the idea of creating a device with which a person could fly like a bird. He began sketching a project inspired by the flight of birds themselves. Da Vinci developed a machine that was known as the "ornithopter". Although it was not assembled in life, according to the drawings it can be called the ancestor of today's helicopters. Around 1480, Da Vinci completed a glider that had a wingspan of over ten meters. He stopped working on the project for several years, until Ezio Auditore came to Da Vinci and asked him to use his machine to enter the Doge's Palace in order to save the current ruler of Venice from the Templar conspiracy. Even though the machine was completely destroyed after a successful flight, Ezio's move took an important step towards the possibility of creating a workable aircraft.
//MESOPOTAMIA//-3500
The round object known as the Wheel was invented around 3500 BC. in Mesopotamia. This invention revolutionized transportation and manufacturing. The oldest known wheels were made from wooden discs tied together with cross-braces. The design of the wheel has been greatly improved over the following centuries. Spoked wheels, for example, appeared around 2000 BC in Asia. The Middle Ages are characterized by the overwhelming use of wheels as a means of transforming energy sources such as water, wind and various animals. Even after more than fifty centuries, the wheel plays an important role in the life of mankind.
MASYAF//SYRIA//1176
In the second half of the XII century, Salah Ad'Din directed his forces to capture the mountain fortress Masiaf, surrounding it with camps of his people. After receiving information about the impending siege from the spy Ahmad Sophian, Umar Ibn-La'Ahad was sent on a special mission. His goal was to infiltrate Salah Ad'Din's tent at nightfall to leave a "message" for the Sultan. Although he was successfully completed the first half of his mission, Umar was discovered by Salah Ad'Din himself while trying to get out of the tent. This forced the desperate Assassin to flee, killing one noble to secure his escape. After finding the Assassin spy Ahmad in the ranks of the Saracens, he was tortured in captivity, after which the Saracens were able to negotiate a peace treaty with Al Mualim. Only they asked to exchange Ahmad for Umar. If the Brotherhood would refuse them,then the forces of the Saracens would be directed to the continuation of the siege of Masyaf. After a hopeless debate, Al Mualim ultimately yielded to Umar. In the last minutes of his life, Umar heard the desperate cries and cries of his son, 11-year-old Altair.
CONNECTICUT//USA//1928
The peaceful hermit life of Nikolai Orlov and his son Innocent in their hut in the forests of Connecticut was interrupted by uninvited guests. Sergei, an elderly Assassin and former acquaintance of Nicholas, encouraged him to return to the Brotherhood and share the secrets he had learned. When he refused, Sergei grabbed Innokentiy, brandishing a knife. Nikolai knocked the weapon out of the Assassin's hands and strangled him to death. Guessing what was going on, Innocent's father subjected his son to intense and sometimes tough training. Nikolai believed that without hard training, his son would not be able to master the necessary skills in time. In winter, during the snowfalls, Nicholas's predictions came true, and several Assassins came to their hut. After a painful battle in the surrounding forest, Nikolai eventually managed to nullify the number of his opponents, but was seriously wounded in the process - in both legs.In a desperate last attempt to secure his son's escape, Nikolai grabbed the last of the attackers and urged Innokenty to shoot the man, understanding the consequences. Although initially he refused, the boy still pulled the trigger. The bullet went through Nicholas and the Assassin, killing both. Left alone with a hostile world, broken but rebellious, Innocent took the Hidden Blade from his father and disappeared into the forests, going to the nearest city - Hartford.going to the nearest town - Hartford.going to the nearest town - Hartford.
FLORENCE//ITALY//1476-12-29
Finally entangled in the investigation, which he himself had been conducting for decades, the Assassin Giovanni Auditore da Firenze nevertheless discovered a Templar conspiracy that threatened the very foundation of the Renaissance Italy. His hunt for the truth took him away from his home in Florence in Venice, captured by the Barbarigo family and Milan, usurped by corrupt officials, but at the same time made him the main target of Rodrigo Borgia's anger. When Giovanni gathered enough evidence to expose the conspiracy, he was betrayed by his friend Uberto Alberti, who was the Gonfalonier of Florence at the time. At the direction of Rodrigo Borgia, Giovanni was unjustly arrested and, along with his sons Federico and Petruchio, was hanged in the Piazza della Signoria. This event was witnessed by his only surviving son, Ezio, whose life after that changed once and for all.
Something is really odd in relation to these, I saw Rosta's scene in 3 different cairns in different videos.
Eivor:Come, Father, this way!
Varin:I am here, I am here.
Eivor:Look. I made this myself, my tallest cairn yet.
Varin:Ah, yes. Your mother said you had taken swiftly to the stack-of-stones. This is impressive.
Eivor:And it can stand hard against the winds as well. Watch!
Eivor: [blow]
Varin: 'A burst of blue-air that blows to rival Njord's noisy belches! Well made, Eivor. But know this, height is not the only trait of a cairn's beauty. Shape, balance, expression are key. Seek a variety of these. Let your only goal in this task be to surpass your own best creation.
Sigurd:You are quite good at this, these cairns. Better than me, that I admit.
Eivor:Yes.
Sigurd:This one is your masterpiece. A monument to the gods. Now bask in their glory and receive their honor.
Eivor:The gods rarely have honor.
Sigurd:Well...
Eivor:They never live in peace. They hardly bat an eye at jealousy, rage, and madness.
Sigurd:Yes, yes ... they are perfect.
Eivor:The sound of stones falling upon stones is nice. They click and clack so well.
Sigurd:I prefer them as skipping stones. The whish and sploosh! Watch.
Varin:Sigurd, stop that.
Sigurd:Did you see that? How far it went? A giant's arm, I have! The strength of the gods!
Eivor:That was mine!
Varin:You know better than to take what's not yours, Sigurd. Must I tell your father how badly you behaved today?
Sigurd:Say what you like. He would not believe you!
Varin:He would ... and then he would pitch you into the sea, and invite me to drink
MISSING
Vili:Our work is done and daylight remains. We have earned a drink for our troubles, I think. What say you, brothers?
Vé:A drink, aye! To drown our creation in praise. A world fashioned anew from old flesh!
Vili:Do you recall the size of old Ymir when we began our work? A corpse as tall as the day is long! Spanning the abyss, Ginnungagap.
Vé:O yes, O yes. His pliant flesh, by which we made the fertile soils of the earth.
Vili:And from his blood came oceans and the seas. I remember well.
Vé:For hills and mountains, we piled his bones.
Vili:From his beard came trees, from his hair the grass.
Vé:His domed skull we opened for the blue heavens above. Crowded by clouds of brain matter.
Vili:A new world made from an old life ended. Skal, brothers! I raise my horn to you both.
Vé:Brother Odin, you are silent. Is something wrong? Is our work not worthy of praise?
Odin: (laugh)
Rosta:So go on. Try it yourself. Eivor, come! Stand here and look out over the fjords. Hold my hand, there you go.
Eivor:Whaa! I have never been so high.
Rosta:Your father brought me here long ago, when we were just nineteen winters. Together we stacked stones into cairns.
Eivor:These?
Rosta:Yes. Think of this as a test of mind and wit. Stack the cairn stones high and wide, into any shape you like.
Eivor:How do I win?
Rosta:You win by playing, and a quiet mind is your reward. Let the air and nature's beauty soothe you.

First anomaly
Layla Hassan:Becs, are you seeing this?
Rebecca Crane:Yeah, it's weird. An anomaly of some kind. The rest of your simulation is frozen.
Layla:I can see a loose data package close by. I'll see if I can reach it.
Rebecca:Okay, but take it slow. We don't know what this thing is.
Layla:Becs, I'm closing in on the data packet.
Layla:Got it.
Second anomaly

Rebecca Crane:Is that what we're calling them?
Layla:And another data packet. Should I get it?
Rebecca:If it's anything like the last one, absolutely.
Layla:Hey, are you two hearing the same voices I'm hearing?
Rebecca:Not sure what you mean. It's all quiet on our end.
Layla:Dammit. Well, I'm at the second packet. You ready?

Rebecca Crane:Layla. How are you holding up?
Layla Hassan:Not bad, actually. These anomalies feel second nature now.
Layla:Hey hey, you trying to freak me out? My God, just let me work.
Layla:All right, closing in on another one.

Needs reordering based on chronology, but so far I can only tell that Rollendritch is the first and Tionontaté:ken is the last.
The kingdoms of Bernicia and Elmet have granted me the right to worship here, by edict of Eoppa of Bernicia.
The Nephilim were the only race with the strength to have moved such pillars with the power of the Lord behind them.
But what were they guarding against? Did you command them, Lord? Was it for the sin of people of other times? Was it to keep the demons out?
- Brendan of Clonfert
Here in the Chew Valley, Old Kings of Hwicce still dance with the stones of the Nephilim. I have taught them of the power that sings here.
"How dare you tamper with these sacred threades," a voice scolded me. "You must leave me," he said. "Divorced from the Illuminat."
His voice waxes and wanes, but a soft song still finds me in my penance. I bend a knee and leave a grain of sand for the old winds.
- Brendan of Clonfert
Here lieth still more remnants of the Nephilim. I have marked a symbol upon the stones, that future folk may imbue their spirit with the energy within.
For those who seek communion with the Lord here, be wary. For He Speaks through ciphers, and His words are woven with ancient fibers.
He is manifest here. He hath made importance of these pillars, brought by the giants of yore, now guarding us, as only He knows. Amen.
- Brendan of Clonfert
I spoke with Him again. He said that he pined, and I feel torn in two: my loyalty to Him tears me in one direction and the Nephilim point elsewhere.
Why hath these voices spoken to me? The gospels sing within me, and yet I sense conflict. I sense disagreement among the angels. It saddens me greatly.
I will, one day, weigh my soul, attempt penance, attempt to repent for the missteps in my life. Yet here all shineth brightest, for He let me see.

I shall inform the local Wuffingas that He lives among them, through traces of the Nephilim, the giant warriors who fought for God in their ancient times.
They hath left his presence here on earth for us to absorb His light. The light of Angels that hath been infused throughout the earth.
I feel His Power. He calls me My Beloved and I am calmed. I respondeth with my own communion, my piety, and become another of His voices.
- Brendan of Clonfert
I am proud the Lord speaks so cleanly through my soul here in Wreocensaete. He talks of his instruments, and asks that I be one.
It appears the Nephilim were at battle here long ago. Against a great tempest, some few protected us. We must honor these ancient paths.
I have explained what He left for us here to the Wreckin-Dwellers nearby. Blessed be all those who tread in this Holy light.
- Brendan of Clonfert
Here in the ancient Kingdom of Cent, the Jutes have brought me to where his fire burns through traces of the Nephilim.
Here the Lord speaks to me again. He warns of betrayals, of struggles, of the trials of the First Ones. I do not always understand His message.
If He is warning me, it is because He believes I am worthy. He says there is one angel still trapped, she who must be released, or joined. Must I find her?
- Brendan of Clonfert
Here, I belive, is where the Nephilim placed sacred stones to guard the chattel of God from other giants.
Those present were scared by demons, and God defended the pious, sending the giants away. Only these Holy reverberations remain.
The work of Good Souls who have the earth in their heart will forever be tied to our ancestors and out Lord via this gateway.
- Brendan of Clonfert
Again I find traces of the Nephilim. By edict of the local king, I shall prayeth to Him, that his light may be known as Holy.
These luminous placards are the divining rods of Him who speaks to me. With effort, I seek the union of all His holy creations.
Aita, Juno, Minerva, names that enter my head. Are these the Nephilim He reveals to me? Are these stones their signposts? I pray for your guidance, Lord. Amen.
- Brendan of Clonfert
Welcome fair traveler, curious Child of His. I am Brendan of Ireland, and through Light and Voice have these stones spoken to me.
Here lies the markings of Him, where a second voice, Higher than most, spoke to me again. Listen to all I have learned through prayer.
Long ago was a Great and Tragic War. The offspring of Gods who lived before the Deluge. I pray for these Rebel Angels who came before.
- Brendan of Clonfert
I have come upon these ancient timbers, tarred for preservation, to mark my sacred symbol and pinpoint the source of their power.
As I pray, the Lord sends through me the voice of a Holy Spirit. It reverberates with the finery of ancient language, and I am made anew.
Were these timbers carried by the Nephilim? Barriers against invasions from afar? Please Lord, let this truth shineth upon me as bright as your Word doth.
- Brendan of Clonfert
This is a different site. One resplendent in a manner unto itself. Where His light shines the greatest. Today, I was warned of a harrowing depth.
After the Nephilim, great battles were fought in resurrective Kingdoms of Christ. Many were lost in the fight, many more in the cataclyms that followed.
Today, my lord instructed me in plain words to travel o'er the ocean and seek the door behind which hides his fallen angel. I shall try, in His name. Amen
- Brendan of Clonfert
Here, I, Brendan of Clonfert, servant of our Lord, do make my final inscription before this holy fount of Light. My journey is ended.
For two and some years, have I heeded the inner-voice of my Lord, and followed it to this place to receive His word.
I have seen the gate with its ancient markings. I have heard the voice of His angel, calling me Beloved. Yet the way did not open.
His voice yet calls to me still, in blissful forms, torturous to me. Yet the way remains closed. My way forward is ... uncertain.
