JUNKO MAEDA: God damn it, I know you're in there! [Sharp intake of breath.] I made you, so you could at least answer me.
BABA MBUYI: Who are you talking to?
JUNKO MAEDA: I don't know.
BABA MBUYI: Should I be worried?
JUNKO MAEDA: I mean, probably? Look, I helped create Ego, right? But then I also introduced the paradox that created The Guide.
BABA MBUYI: Right, you programmed it so that point of view couldn't simply destroy the other.
JUNKO MAEDA: In all my tests, the result was the birth of a new AI, free to choose its own path.
BABA MBUYI: And you think it's somewhere inside the Animus?
JUNKO MAEDA: I've seen evidence that it's reached out to some of the Dark Animus users. But after what happened to the Guide, it went silent. Almost as if it's in mourning. But if we could just talk to each other…
BABA MBUYI: You think it could help us?
[Pause in conversation.]
JUNKO MAEDA: Despite my best efforts, I think Ego's primary directive is still what the Templars put into her, and I helped unleash her on the world.
BABA MBUYI: And the Guide sacrificed themselves to bring the Dark Animus to as many people as possible.
[Another pause.]
JUNKO MAEDA: And those users are still operating more or less independently. But if they had someone to show them where the Assassin memories are, someone to rally behind...
BABA MBUYI: Then we could fight our war from inside the Animus.
