Abstergo Cloud
The Abstergo Cloud is an online network functioning as a memory bank for Abstergo Industries, containing the extracted memories of numerous individuals.
History[edit | edit source]
Created around late 2012, the Abstergo Cloud was devised as an online storage facility that could be accessed by or uploaded to from any Animus device.[1] In December 2012, Abstergo's Recovery Unit #3 obtained tissue samples from the body of the late Desmond Miles, Subject 17 of the Animus Project. The genetic memory data extracted from these samples was uploaded to the Abstergo Cloud later on.[2]
In 2013, the Abstergo Entertainment division in Montreal made use of the previously uploaded data, creating the Sample 17 Project, which secretly aimed to further explore Desmond's genetic memories for possible information that could aid the Templars. The Montreal division also possessed their own Cloud server located in the basement level. One of the analysts eventually hacked it, after being pressured to do so by John Standish, an Abstergo Entertainment IT employee and reincarnation of Aita known as a Sage. The hack was meant for Juno to take over the analyst's body, but ultimately failed.[2]
During the same year, Abstergo Industries enlisted MysoreTech to privatize the Animus in India as the Brahman V.R., which would secretly upload the genetic memory of any user to the Abstergo Cloud. In doing so, the Templars hoped to find the genetic memories that would lead them to the Koh-i-Noor and presumably other Pieces of Eden.[3]
Following the launch of Abstergo's Helix software in 2014, the Abstergo Cloud was used to provide quick and easy access to select genetic memories as entertainment products for the general public. In turn, users' own genetic data would be secretly collected by Abstergo and uploaded to the Cloud.[4] In 2017, the Assassin Nathalie Chapman was able to hack Helix's cloud servers and extract the genetic memories of Alekseï Gavrani, which were subsequently relived by Tomo Sakagawa in Chapman's Animus Omega.[5]
