POUL AGARD – So let me get this straight. They're not willing to be pulled out of there until we've secured Ortiz's family? I mean, they're actually setting conditions for us to rescue them?

BAS DE JONG – Whereas we, on the other hand, don't really want to rescue them, since they're far more useful to us on the inside.

TATYANA DANE – Also, it could be a trap. We just abducted one of their scientists and a few weeks later their two most valuable assets want to switch sides? Just saying, feels like bait.

ELU AHOKA – This is wrecking my head, people. Can I just blow something up?

JOEL EASTMAN – Look, I know this isn't easy, but we have to make this work. This is what Dad was on to when he broke into Hallen's Bluff. I don't know if we can trust these scientists, but I believe them about Project Mnemosyne. It all scans with everything we've seen so far.

TATYANA DANE – How the hell did they even find us? Because if they can, you can bet the Templars can too.

BABA MBUYI – I dug up everything there is on Maeda and Ortiz. They're legit. Maeda is a goddamn genius and a parade of psychological red flags.

BAS DE JONG – Sounds like she'd fit right in here.

BABA MBUYI – What I'm saying is, it's credible that she found out about the Muller kidnapping if she was nosing around their internal systems. They probably know who did it by now, just not where we are. Not that hard to get us an encrypted message on a personal account.

POUL AGARD – Fine, fine. So disregarding for a moment the significant possibility that this is a trap, how are we going to make this work?

JOEL EASTMAN – Extracting them doesn't solve the problem. This AI they're building... that's the real danger.

TATYANA DANE – So we need to get them to deal with that first. Sabotage it or something. That's the price of rescue.

JOEL EASTMAN – Right. But they won't agree to that unless we've got a plan in place to get them out. And take care of Ortiz's family.

BAS DE JONG – Three elements that will need executing almost simultaneously, if we don't want to alert Abstergo.

ELU AHOKA – Well, not to quote Joel, but things aren't always easy. So let's get to it already.
