That's all you should ever be! One day soon, I hope. For the world is nearly ready for her return! Wired. Prepared for a second coming! Uh... Oh oh... Here they come! Those Templars. Or maybe Assassins this time. Idiots, all of them. I envy you! It was her wish that I be here to greet her. It was her experiment that made it possible for my rebirth as one of... these things. Ah!''

After the analyst relived a memory in which Shay was nearly killed, a glitch occurred in the Animus.
After the analyst relived a glitched memory, Violet contacted them via earpiece.
*'''Berg:''' ''What is this?''
*'''Violet:''' ''You've hit a wall and I'm busy with something. Why don't you go meet Otso Berg? You'll find him squatting in one the offices.''
*'''Violet:''' ''A glitch in the memories... There seems to be more data. Okay, numbskull, I can't pull you out of the chair right now. You'll just have to see this through... This is bizarre... these memories seem to take place some 20 years after the one we just saw.''
*'''Berg:''' ''Are you certain?''
*'''Violet:''' ''Positive. This means... Shay must have survived that fall!''
*'''Berg:''' ''If he is the man I believe him to be, then he has... Keep going.''
*'''Violet:''' ''The data is fragmented... This memory is incomplete... Let me see what I can do. Listen up. We need to find out what Shay's up to. This memory's probably gonna look a little rough, but I'm like ninety percent sure sequencing this memory won't kill you.''
The memory loaded, with an older Shay appearing in an unknown city.
*'''Violet:''' ''Alright, numbskull, we don't know where Shay is, or what he's doing there. So keep your eyes and ears open.''
*'''Berg:''' ''I want to know the reason Shay came to this place.''
*'''Violet:''' ''You heard the man. Let's move!''
Shay witnessed a group of criminals mentioning [[Benjamin Franklin]] and the [[Notre-Dame]].
*'''Berg:''' ''Benjamin Franklin... That's who Shay is after.''
*'''Violet:''' ''Fraklin traveled to England and France. And that guy said Notre-Dame... Shay must be in Paris! Time to show me what you got!''
*'''Berg:''' ''Eliminate the threat. Protect Franklin.''
As Shay kiled the criminals, the memory phased out.
*'''Violet:''' ''Shit!''
*'''Berg:''' ''What happened?''
*'''Violet:''' ''That's all the data we have. We can't explore this memory further... for now.''
*'''Violet:''' ''Shay couldn't have died, then appeared in France twenty years later. We're missing something. Shay's memories are scattered in chunks throughout the Cloud, the servers are messed up from the virus, so we can't access all of Shay's life at once.''
The analyst left the Animus and was contacted by Violet over their earpiece.
*'''Violet:''' ''You've hit a wall and I'm busy something. Why don't you go meet Otso Berg? You'll find him squatting in one the offices.''
The analyst met with Berg at the latter's office.

After viewing Shay's induction into the Templar Order, the analyst was contacted again by Berg and Violet.
*'''Berg:''' ''Do you understand now?''
*'''Violet:''' ''I'm starting to see why you're so interested in Shay Cormac.''
The analyst left the Animus.
*'''Berg:''' ''Shay has see the true face of the world. And he has chosen his path accordingly. A similar choice will soon present itself to you.''
*'''Violet:''' ''I did not think you'd get this far, but you seem to be on the right track. We still can't access the servers in the basement. But there's another one located at the top of the building, near Melanie's office. That's your next stop.''
The analyst used the elevator to reach the top floor.
*'''Melanie:''' ''Could you stop by my office? We need to have a talk.''
The analyst entered Melanie's office.
*'''Melanie:''' ''This office used to belong to a man named Olivier Garneau. He was my predecessor as Chief Creative Officer of Abstergo Entertainment. Otso Berg is a representative from our parent company, Abstergo Industries. He's showing you the true history of the world, just like they showed me. Olivier was kind, he was intelligent, and passionate about our work. But a year ago, he caught a glimpse of this truth. They never found his body. This is not the way we normally bring people up to speed on these matters. But you've worked hard and are proving yourself so! I'm granting you Level 2 security access. The servers on this floor should unlock more of Shay's memories.''
With Level 2 clearance, the analyst repaired the servers.
*'''Violet:''' ''I've got your Animus ready and waiting!''
The analyst took the elevator down to the second floor.
*'''Violet:''' ''Smooth moves, numbskull, I've got the next set of Shay's memories loaded up and ready to go.''
*'''Berg:''' ''We are nearly there. Know that you are aiding a worthy cause, even if you do not yet know what it is.''
The analyst accessed the Animus, triggering another glitched memory.
*'''Violet:''' ''Shit! What's happening?''
*'''Berg:''' ''Another glitch?''
*'''Violet:''' ''Same one as before. Shay's back at Notre-Dame.''
*'''Berg:''' ''See if you can complete the memory this time.''
The analyst progressed further through the memory.
*'''Violet:''' ''That's the best we can do for now. We keep trying to sequence memories out of order, which is why we're crashing like this.''
*'''Berg:''' ''What do you suggest?''
*'''Violet:''' ''If we progress further with Shay's life in the colonies, I'm confident we can get better results from these Paris memories.''
*'''Berg:''' ''Very well. Keep me informed.''
*'''Violet:''' ''Uploading the next memory sequence now...''

After reliving Shay's final sequenced memories, the analyst was contacted by Violet.
*'''Violet:''' ''Incredible! Who knew that Shay had that kind of potential?''
The analyst exited the Animus.
*'''Berg:''' ''I have everything I need to complete our assignment here.''
*'''Violet:''' ''One last job, numbskull. We need you to upload Shay's story.''
*'''Berg:''' ''But not to Helix. I want some very specific people to see what we have found here.''
The analyst used the elevator to reach the basement.
*'''Berg:''' ''To reward you for your services to me, I am granting you Level 3 security access. From this point on, no doors will be closed to you. In the distant past, the Assassins had a noble goal, that of peace. But over the centuries, that goal eroded into a far more dangerous one: Freedom.''
Another power failure occurred, causing a blackout in the basement.
*'''Violet:''' ''Shit! What's going on now?''
*'''Berg:''' ''A minor setback.''
*'''Violet:''' ''Okay... Your communicator doesn't work right now, and it must be dark as hell down there... but I can show you the way. There! Just follow those lights and you'll be set! I promise you won't die if you follow the bright lights! I haven't steered you wrong, yet, have I? Follow the lights! Please hurry, numbskull! It all comes down to this!''
The analyst reached the server room entryway.
*'''Berg:''' ''Your communicator should work now. The Assassin Brotherhood still exists today, and they remain dedicated to their foolish cause. I am a Templar Knight. I protect the world from the Assassins. Today, you have helped me to fulfill this role. Please, restore the servers.''
The analyst restored the servers.
*'''Berg:''' ''You have exceeded my every expectation. Use that terminal to upload Shay's story to the Assassin network. The time to strike is now!''
The analyst uploaded Shay's story.
*'''Berg:''' ''The modern day Assassins are weak. It is only a matter of time before I catch the last of them, and kill them. But it is not enough for them to die. I want them to know how weak they truly are, and I want everyone to see them suffer. So on the day they finally meet me, they will welcome the death I offer them. My plan is in motion. I have no further demands to place upon you. However, Shay's story is not complete. I would ask that you see it through to the end.''
*'''Violet:''' ''I am super impressed, numbskull. You really came through for us. And yes, I'm also a Templar. Have been for years. There's still one last chunk of Shay's data left to explore. It's a bit of a trip, but I think you should see it.''
The analyst used the elevator to reach the second floor and returned their workstation.
*'''Violet:''' ''Once you go back to finish Shay's story, your life is never going to be the same afterwards. You should finish any outstanding business before entering your Animus.''

After finishing Shay's story, the analyst met Melanie in her office, along with Berg and Violet.
*'''Melanie:''' ''It is my pleasure and privilege to welcome you up here today.''
*'''Violet:''' ''Gotta hand it to you, numbskull, you proved yourself to more than a simple research monkey.''
*'''Berg:''' ''The data you extracted from Shay Cormac's memories has served us well. Shay's story is a message. One that says that when threatened, what an Assassin truly isn't freedom but order.''
*'''Melanie:''' ''And we represent the highest Order there is.''
*''Berg:''' ''Whatever you learned from your Animus experience only scratches the surface. We have existed since before recorded human history and have recently been reborn, disguised as Abstergo Industries.''
*'''Melanie:''' ''And Entertainment.''
*'''Berg:''' ''You have crossed the threshold and your eyes have been opened. You have seen the world for what it truly is.''
*'''Violet:''' ''There's no turning back now. We've got big plans for you!''
*'''Berg:''' ''The Father of Understanding guided you to us. And for that we are grateful. The test of your true worth begins now. And it begins with a choice.''
Melanie presented a Templar ring to the analyst.
*'''Melanie:''' ''Join us, and a bright future will be all yours.''
Berg pulled out his gun.
*'''Berg:''' ''Refuse...''

After their success with Arno's memories, Bishop contacted the initiate about a new assignment.
*'''Bishop:''' ''Hello, Initiate. Recently, Abstergo Historical Research began several new projects in London. We both know that when Abstergo makes big moves, the Templars are up to something. We think they're hot on the trail of a new Piece of Eden. I've got people in London looking for it.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Hey Bishop! [[Jacob Frye|Jacob]] and [[Evie Frye]] are twins! How awesome is that?''

*'''Rebecca:''' ''Sending it now.''
*'''Bishop:''' ''A lot to sift through. I'm going to get the Initiates on it ASAP.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''You look weird with a weapon. Let's plant a little bug and see what we can see! Got something. [[Isabelle Ardant]] has a meeting here in a few hours. Doesn't say with who.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''"Doesn't say with whom," Rebecca. And I suppose it's down to muggins here to find out.''
*'''Bishop:''' ''Hold on, the mission was to find data to locate a Piece of Eden in London.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''We did!''
*'''Shaun:''' ''And now I'm eager to try this new kit!''
*'''Bishop:''' ''I don't like it when those two go off-book like this. Well, all we can do is take a deep breath and move forward. You'll be searching for the Piece of Eden through the lives of Jacob and Evie Frye. Twin Assassins who operated in [[Victorian era|Victorian]] London. Your first set of genetic memories are downloaded. Good luck!

After reliving Jacob and Evie's first set of memories, the initiate was contacted by Bishop.
*'''Bishop:''' ''I know, I know. You've only had a taste of our latest acquisition from Abstergo. But I want to check in on Shaun and Rebecca. I still think attacking a Templar is a mistake.''
Shaun and Rebecca's sleuthing was interrupted by Isabelle entering her office.
*'''Isabelle:''' ''Call [[Álvaro Gramática|Doctor Gramática]].''
*'''Álvaro:''' ''Isabelle! What a lovely surprise.''
*'''Isabelle:''' ''Our mutual friends will be here shortly to search for the artifact. Once it's located, I'll let you know.''
*'''Álvaro:''' ''Super! Always a pleasure.''
*'''Isabelle:''' ''Prick.''
Shaun and Rebecca approached Isabelle.
*'''Shaun:''' ''It's people like you that give historians a bad name!''
*'''Isabelle:''' ''I'm afraid I don't have time for you today, Mr. Hastings.''
Juhani Otso Berg and Violet da Costa walked into the room, cornering the Assassins.
*'''Berg:''' ''Thank you for making my job easy.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Oh shit.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''It does look grim.''
*'''Isabelle:''' ''Master Berg, Agent da Costa. Deal with them, please.''
*'''Violet:''' ''Move it!''
Rebecca activated an explosive, causing a distraction and allowing the Assassins to escape.
*'''Isabelle:''' ''HUNT THEM DOWN!''
*'''Bishop:''' ''All they had to do was wait for you to search the data. Their little stunt has put the whole operation at risk. You need to synchronize Jacob & Evie's memories. Find something that puts us ahead of the enemy. Time is of the essence and lives are now clearly on the line. Good luck.''

After reliving more of Jacob and Evie's memories, the initiate was contacted by Bishop.
*'''Bishop:''' ''Sorry to interrupt, Initiate. Thought you'd like to know that Shaun & Rebecca got away from Otso Berg. Berg runs a unit called [[Sigma Team]]. Violet da Costa is his tech support. They've been hunting and killing Assassins for a long time. Thank God you're all right.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Oh tish tosh, it'll take more than a Templar super soldier to end the glorious saga of Shaun "Danger" Hastings!''
*'''Bishop:''' ''I was talking to Rebecca.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Anyway, Berg's presence confirms it. The Piece of Eden is in London.''
*'''Bishop:''' ''The Initiate's data synch suggests it's the [[Shrouds of Eden|Shroud]].''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''The Templars seem to want it pretty bad all of a sudden. They must know something we don't.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''The only thing we know is we can't go up against Sigma Team alone.''
*'''Bishop:''' ''Leave that to me. In the meantime, keep a low profile. Let the Initiate continue to synch the data.''

While viewing the Frye twins' memories, the initiate found a rift.
*'''Juno:''' ''Come closer, cipher. Perhaps we have met before. Perhaps not. You search for an artifact. Let me show you the truth.''
The initiate entered the rift.
*'''Bishop:''' ''Initiate! Are you there? Your readings are going haywire! Abort! ... out! Yo ... ve to get ...''
*'''Juno:''' ''Hello. In the past, you hunt for one of my artifacts. But I come to you today to speak of the future. Follow [[Lydia Frye]]. She will lead you to me.''
While exploring Lydia's memories, Juno spoke to the initiate on multiple occasions.
*'''Juno:''' ''Once I walked the Earth as you do. I was born to the Illuminat caste in the city of [[Feyan]] in the year 2195 of the [[Isu Era]]. Now I travel the vast corridors of your machines, adrift here within the [[The Grey|gray]]. But I grow stronger. The world is nearly ready for my return. And so, I have summoned you to this war-torn simulation. To tell you a story. It is our story.''
*'''Juno:''' ''I once loathed the very sight of your kind. In the same way you recoil in the presence of an arachnid. Humans were created by we who came before, the Isu. We crafted you in our image, but deprived you of our true gifts. You were bred for hard labor, and in extreme cases, war. We built great observatories to monitor you, devices to control you. We blessed you with resilience but cursed you with ambition. And so you rebelled against us. I suppose we are to blame for the state of your species. Is it any wonder so many of these simulations revolve around violence?''
*'''Juno:''' ''As our people [[Human-First Civilization War|clashed]], we became distracted from an impending doom: a coronal mass ejection from our angry sun. The greatest minds of our time assembled to prevent the coming disaster. Among them: forthright Minerva, proud Jupiter... beloved Aita. We spent years locked away in the Grand Temple, attempting to find salvation. The others could only think of physical solutions, yet I believed the only way to save us was to transform us. Inspired by the research of the great scientist [[Consus]], I attempted to place Aita's mind into a stronger, synthetic body. I failed, and my beloved died in my arms. The others shunned me.''
*'''Juno:''' ''All of our efforts came to nothing. In the year 2306 of the Isu Era, the sun unleashed its fury on my once-great civilization. I perfected the work of Consus and made it my own. I salvaged Aita's brilliant essence and inserted it into the DNA of your rebellious kind. I sent him into the unknown future to be reborn, again and again. I returned to the Grand Temple. I shed my physical form and entered the gray. But stubborn Minerva and foolish Jupiter discovered me, and sealed me inside. Entombed, I waited for the day when your technology might allow my return. That wait is nearly over.''
*'''Juno:''' ''We need not be enemies. I intend to build, to transform your age into something greater than you can currently comprehend.''
*'''Juno:''' ''The man Lydia Frye killed was my husband, Aita, reborn. Known in your time as a "Sage." Thank you for discovering his fate. His pattern will be added to my own. Perhaps you believe, as other Assassins before you, that it is your duty to work against me. But consider this: It was an Assassin who freed me from my prison. I am no longer She Who Lies in Wait. I am the Mother of Wisdom. I am the nexus of flesh and machine. I am Juno. And if the greatest Assassin of your generation can see things my way... then perhaps you can too.''
The initiate left the simulation.
*'''Bishop:''' ''I'm not reading any more signs of network disturbance. What happened in there? ... you okay? I don't know what happened. I thought I'd lost you.''

After reliving more of Jacob and Evie's memories, the initiate was reconnected to Rebecca's drone feed.
*'''Bishop:''' ''You okay?''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Apart from the death squad on our tail? 'part from that?''
*'''Bishop:''' ''Backup's on the way. Why are you pushing yourself so hard? It's not your job to fight Templars.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''I had this colleague. He was our boss's son. I didn't much care for him at the start. Everyone treated him like he was so bloody special. To me, he just wasn't invested in anything that didn't affect him personally. But, I was wrong about him. He became my friend. Put himself through hell. And he saved us all in the end. So I reckon... Well, I can't apologize to him, but I can, I don't know. I can try and live up to his example.''
*'''Galina:''' ''You are a good Assassin.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Mother of Thor!''
*'''Galina:''' ''Hello. It has been too long.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''[[Galina Voronina|Galina]]! Blimey. I have not seen you since we blew up that lab in Paris!''
*'''Galina:''' ''(Yes). There were many explosions and you screamed like a baby. Bishop tells me Otso Berg is here. I will kill him for you!''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Superb! Now, if you wouldn't mind keeping watch, I'm going to lay down and die now.''
*'''Galina:''' ''Rest. We have a big fight coming.''
*'''Bishop:''' ''Shaun and Rebecca are safe for now, but we're still relying on you to find us that Shroud!''

After reliving more of Jacob and Evie's memories, the initiate was contacted by Bishop.
*'''Bishop:''' ''The Piece of Eden is under [[Buckingham Palace]]. We've got all we need. Let's start planning our infiltration.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Hold on, better to get visual verification. If we're going to move, we have to be 100% sure, we'll only get one shot before Otso Berg crashes down on us.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Got to agree with Shaun.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''We'll position oursevles near the palace. But we'll wait for you to synch the genetic data before we move.''
*'''Bishop:''' ''It's all up to yo, Initiate.''

Upon finishing Jacob and Evie's memories, the initiate was connected to Rebecca's drone feed.
*'''Shaun:''' ''That's it! It's under the palace!''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Time to go!''
The Assassins arrived at the [[Buckingham Palace Vault]], but noticed the Templars had arrived first.
*'''Isabelle:''' ''Let's get the Shroud to Dr. Gramática immediately.''
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Sigma Team beat us here. We're too late!''
*'''Galina:''' ''What do we do?''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Killing really is the least productive way to achieve our goals. Kill them all.''
The Assassins threw a smoke canister.
*'''Berg:''' ''Contact!''
*'''Isabelle:''' ''Cover me! That skinny piece of shit tried to murder me, Berg! I want him to bleed!''
While Berg and Galina fought, Violet tried to shoot the latter.
*'''Violet:''' ''Hold still, godammit!''
Before she could get a shot off, Rebecca tackled her. With the others occupied, Shaun snuck up behind Isabelle and used his shock blade to incapacitate her.
*'''Berg:''' ''Only the mission matters!''
*'''Violet:''' ''Understood!''
Violet picked up her gun and fired it.
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Shaun!''
Rebecca jumped in front of Shaun and took the bullet for him.
*'''Rebecca:''' ''Oh!''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Galina! We need an exit!''
Galina, having knocked out Berg and hoping to finish the job, was interrupted by Sigma Team's backup.
*'''Sigma Team:''' ''Secure the vault! All targets are righteous.''
*'''Shaun:''' ''We need to go! NOW!''
*'''Galina:''' ''Understood.''
Galina threw another smoke canister, using its cover to take out Sigma Team.
*'''Rebecca:''' ''The... Shroud...''
*'''Shaun:''' ''Forget the bloody Shroud, stay with me, Becs! Please!''
*'''Galina:''' ''We go!''
The initiate was reconnected to Bishop.
*'''Bishop:''' ''Good work in there, Initiate. In time, we will recover the Shroud. And hey. We pulled a feed from our bug in Isabelle's computer before they shut us out. Playing it now.''
*'''Álvaro:''' ''Sorry about the mess!''
*'''Violet:''' ''So how is the Shroud going to help you create a new clone?''
*'''Álvaro:''' ''It's not. When the Shroud is wrapped around a body, it scans it for damage and then reconstructs it on a cellular level.''
*'''Violet:''' ''You're not making a clone, you're going to recreate a Precursor from scratch!''
*'''Álvaro:''' ''Bingo! The Phoenix Project timetable just got accelerated, big time. I'm going to call Alan Rikkin and deliver the good news! It's like  CHRISTMAS!''
Álvaro left, leaving Violet alone in the lab.
*'''Violet:''' ''Hello? It's me. I've brought the Shroud, as you asked, but... I'm scared.''
*'''Juno:''' ''Do not fear me. You've done well.''
*'''Violet:''' ''I'm not scared of you, I'm scared for you. If anyone finds out what you've been doing...''
*'''Juno:''' ''You have played your part, my instrument. I will save you. I will save you all.''
