Over the course of his training to become an Assassin, Desmond Miles had various conversations with different people, along with other Assassins and major characters interacting with each other throughout modern times.
Assassin's Creed
While being held captive at Abstergo Industries, Desmond secretly had multiple conversations with Lucy Stillman, Dr. Vidic's assistant. Before each Animus session, he would also have conversations with Vidic, who would discuss certain details of Abstergo's goals.

Assassin's Creed II
After escaping Abstergo, Desmond was introduced to fellow Assassins Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane. These two would assist Lucy in training Desmond to be an Assassin.
| Escape from Abstergo |
|---|
Desmond entered the Animus and witnessed the birth of Ezio Auditore.
Two guards noticed Lucy and Desmond escaping.
Lucy typed in a code and locked a door, preventing the guards from following them.
Lucy and Desmond were spotted by the Abstergo guards.
Lucy fought with the guards, swiftly taking them down. The pair then entered a nearby elevator, traveling downward.
Lucy swiped a card into a keypad and entered a code, which failed. She then attempted another time, to no avail.
Desmond tried his hand at entering a code into the keypad.
Desmond used Eagle Vision to see the fingerprints on the keypad and entered the code "2374".
Desmond and Lucy reached the parking lot and fought off a squad of guards. Afterwards, they ran for Vidic's car and Lucy opened the trunk.
Desmond got into the trunk of the car.
Desmond shot a dirty look up at Lucy, who slammed the trunk door shut. |

|
Desmond suffered the bleeding effect and saw the forms of Monteriggioni's townspeople escaping, with Ezio Auditore assisting them.
Ezio pulled a lever, and a gate impaled a Borgia soldier as it fell. Afterwards, the apparitions faded away, revealing the guard's skeleton.
The two of them walked up to the gate and Desmond pulled a nearby lever. The gate only raised a few inches above the bones of the guard, before Desmond let it go and it dropped back down.

Desmond activated what would turn out to be a wall lever, and multiple poles shifted out of the ceiling, constructing a series of free-running obstacles.
Desmond activated another switch, and a ladder came out of the wall.
Desmond eventually activated a switch on the highest platform, and a pedestal came out of floor at the front of the church.
Desmond moved his hand above the pedestal, which activated into a lift on sensing his First Civilization genes, that took the Assassins underground.

Clay laughed longly.
Clay pointed to the Synch Nexus.

|
| After DNA Sequence 8 |
|---|
|
Following Desmond exploring more of Ezio's memories, the Assassins outside of his coma planned to relocate themselves, and him along with them.
Meanwhile, inside the Animus, the machine planned to wipe Animus Island of all its contents, with Clay and Desmond along with it. As the threat of being deleted was finally at hand, it spurred one last conversation between the two.
Clay embraced Desmond tightly, bewildering the Assassin in the process.
Jumping to the conclusion that Clay intended to take both of them to their deaths, Desmond pleaded with him.
Clay pushed Desmond towards the Sync Nexus, as he began to be erased by the system deletion. However, it would not stop him from shouting out one final command to Desmond.

Target Acquired
The two Templars then turned to Berg, staring straight at him.

Assassin's Creed III
| Arrival at the Temple |
|---|
|
Desmond and his team arrived at the Grand Temple in upstate New York. William Miles opened the doors to their van.
The other Assassins gathered up their equipment while Desmond waited at the mouth of the cave.
Desmond led the Assassins into the cave, stopping at the door, which was covered in modern graffiti and ancient Native American cave paintings. The Apple of Eden began to glow, and Desmond took it out and stuck it in a spherical concave imprint in the door which activated and opened.
Desmond bent under the door and walked under it, with the rest of his team following. The Assassins continued down a long empty hallway for some time before coming to a sloping drop which led to another door. Again, Desmond used the Apple to open the door.
Beyond the door was a sliding drop. Desmond slid down this and then made his way into the main hall of the Temple. Upon entering it, he saw a bright glowing cube on the ground in front of a power bank. Desmond picked up the cube and inserted it into a matching slot on the bench-shaped structure, which activated the entire Temple, especially the great door at the very back. The Assassins made their way towards the door. As they reached it, Desmond heard Juno's voice.
Desmond began to experience the bleeding effect.
Desmond turned to face his father, but saw instead Haytham Kenway's coachman.
Desmond collapsed. Some time later he awoke in the new Animus 3.0
Desmond responded in a dazed manner.
William tried to calm his son's anxiety.
Desmond then began the refresher course Rebecca set up for him. |
| After Sequence 3 |
|---|
|
Desmond got out of the Animus, shocked about learning Haytham's true loyalties.
At this, Desmond showed his disgust at William's seeming inhumanity.
Finally, Desmond let loose his rage and anger at being exploited.
Angered to his own breaking point, William punched Desmond in the jaw.
At this point, Shaun decided to break up the fight for an announcement.
Shaun agreed, though he appeared just as disgusted with William's indifference as Desmond.
|

|---|
|
The argument settled, Desmond spoke to Rebecca.
Desmond then ran over to Shaun who was inspecting the door.

Shaun then asked Desmond about their situation.

| Field Mission One: New York City |
|---|
|
Desmond got out of the Animus, having experienced Connor's early memories.
Rebecca voiced concern.
Desmond pulled up his hood. Minutes later, all the Assassins were in the van listening to the news on the radio.
Shaun turned the radio off.
Rebecca handed something to Desmond.
William handed Desmond a backpack with a parachute in it. Hours later, Desmond was in New York, getting out of a service elevator on the Freedom Tower of the World Trade Center. Tossing up the camera, he tested his earpiece.
The camera flew out of Desmond's hand like a mosquito.
Desmond made his way through the construction site. When he got to a sliding door, he slid under it and almost fell over the side. He found himself looking over Manhattan, and freaked out from near-vertigo.
Desmond continued to make his way up cranes and across hanging beams and power cables to the top.
Desmond kept climbing up until he finally reached the topmost floor, still under construction.
Desmond free-ran his way to the top of the crane arm.
Desmond made a Leap of Faith from the crane.
Desmond struggled momentarily to open his chute, but eventually it did open and he glided down towards the building, landing on the helipad. Making his way inside, he reached the room with the power cube, which was sealed under glass. Desmond smashed the glass with his elbow and retrieved the cube.
But as Desmond turned to leave, he was surprised by a figure in the doorway. It was Daniel Cross.
Desmond interrupted Daniel by twisting his arm and smashing his jaw with the power cube. Unconscious, Daniel lay on the floor while Desmond fled. The Assassins left New York immediately and made a two day detour through Boston. Upon returning to the Grand Temple, Desmond demanded to know about Cross.

Desmond soon found a socket and plugged the power source into it. When this was done, he returned down below and talked to Rebecca.
Rebecca then nervously asked Desmond about his encounter with Daniel Cross.
Rebecca's voice broke as she related what happened next.
Desmond then spoke to his father next. William first tried to apologize for the earlier punch, then make peace for Desmond's rough childhood.
Desmond then asked his father if the Assassins and Templars had ever worked together.
Desmond then asked his father about whether William had ever looked for him.
Desmond then lamented the fact that more often than not, the Assassins keep defecting to the Templars than vice-versa.
Desmond then made his way over to Shaun, who wanted to use the Animus to go back to the beginning.

Desmond was shown a vision of what would happen to the world if he refused to use the device.
Desmond, Juno and Minerva then continued their conversation.
Desmond touched the pedestal, killing himself instantaneously but saving most of the world in the process.
|
| The Cloud |
|---|
|
An Abstergo employee started explaining to a colleague how to synchronize Desmond's data to the cloud.
After finding all pivots, Desmond's data was uploaded to the cloud.
