Suspecting the involvement of the Templars, they return to the chamber.'' | | ''Jacob and Evie once discovered an underground chamber in a former bank vault, set up by three Assassins: Michel Reuge, [[Lavinia]], and [[Alice (Assassin)|Alice]]. The chamber was used to store a sealed Isu sarcophagus containing the Aegis, ancient armor that supposedly belonged to the Isu Minerva. The keys required to open the sarcophagus were found in a series of music boxes scattered around London, as well as parts of a diary compiled by Michel Reuge. They discovered Alice's obsession with opening the sarcophagus eventually led her to betray her companions to the Templars.<br><br>About a year after discovering the chamber, the Witnesses are contacted by Evie and Jacob's collaborator, Chief Inspector Frederick Abberline of the London Metropolitan Police, about a bomb that has gone off in Southwark. From eyewitness accounts, they learn that the bomb was a small box that, once opened, played a melody before exploding. This detail immediately reminds the siblings of the music boxes they found in the past. Suspecting the involvement of the Templars, they return to the chamber.'' |
