He who increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow. This article contains spoilers, meaning it has information and facts concerning Animus Hub. If you do not want to know about these events, it is recommended to read on with caution, or not at all. |
How did we get to this?
They didn't seem like the bad guys at first. Not like the enemy across the water. They made things easy for us. Put little miracles in our hands. Soon we could have whatever we wanted, whenever we wanted. How could you suspect someone who came with such generous gifts?
So we stood back and let them have their way. We watched them ruin the world and we believed them when they said it wasn't happening, even when we could see that it was. And the more hopeless everything seemed, the more disempowered we became, the more we sought out the escapist thrills they promised. Running back to the same people who were destroying us, like a child returning to their abusive mother because they don't know what else to do.
Nobody stopped them. And I was guilty of that too. Thought that the system was too massive, that resistance was futile. That was what drove me and Dad apart, I suppose. He couldn't watch me give up.
But Dad understood history. Real history, the kind you have to dig for. And he saw the cycles of collapse, over and over, as each generation forgets the lessons of their grandparents until the same thing begins again. He wouldn't stand for that. He wouldn't accept it.
Nor will I.
We contacted Ortiz and Maeda. Got them on board in principle, at least. Maeda's going to be a problem—she thinks of that thing as her baby; there's no way she's going to destroy it—but she knows that something needs to be done. We're not pulling them out while Abstergo still has control of the creature she's created.
We've started work on our end, meanwhile. Baba's pulled up the specs of the blacksite where they're being kept. We've located Ortiz's family. Everything needs to be ready to go when Maeda pulls the trigger.
We've got one chance at this. Better make it count.
