Flying Machine 2.0
Flying Machine 2.0 is a secondary memory in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.
Description
In 1500, Ezio journeyed to Valnerina in order to dismantle and destroy a more technologically advanced version of Leonardo's Flying Machine, which was referred to as a Bomber.
Hunt for the Machine
Upon arriving at the small settlement, Ezio scouted the town market place for the Borgia weapons engineer, who knew of the location of both the designs and the machine itself. Upon finally locating the man, Ezio tailed him to a secluded area, where he interrogated him.
Under much pressure, the engineer finally confessed the location of the designs, which were in the workshop near his house, and of the Flying Machine, which was posted atop a tower in a nearby Borgia fortress. Allowing the engineer to live and flee, Ezio made his way to the engineer's house to burn the plans before setting off to infiltrate the fortress.
Tower Climbing
Climbing up the obscured eastern walls, Ezio crossed battlements and courtyard rooftops, avoiding the guard's attention until he climbed and entered the central tower. Ezio proceeded through the interior of the tower as night fell, and finally caught sight of the new Flying Machine. Bypassing the four guards on duty and climbing to the pinnacle point of the structure, Ezio noticed several workshops spread across the Valnerina countryside, where the Borgia were attempting to manufacture various other war machines for Cesare's wars across Europe.
The Flying Machine
Concluding that such production needed to be stopped, Ezio flew off the perch of the tower and once again glided through the night sky. Using the fire cannon mounted upon the back of the machine, he periodically set fires to the ground to keep himself in the air, as well as used it to destroy the nearby factories. However, the commotion alerted the surviving workshops, and several wagons attempted to bring salvaged materials to the safety of the fortress. However, Ezio was still able to intercept and destroy all the wagons, and the materials they transported.
Immediately after this, a single mounted courier fled the fortress in order to alert Cesare of the destruction Ezio was causing; though he too was skillfully shot down. Leaving the burning countryside behind, Ezio proceeded to destroy the Flying Machine by crashing it into a nearby archer tower, leaping out of it to safety just before the impact. Finally bidding his "old friend" a goodbye as it burned, Ezio subsequently returned to Rome.
