21st century conversations

Over the course of his training to become an Assassin, Desmond Miles had various conversations with his fellow Assassins - Shaun Hastings, Rebecca Crane and Lucy Stillman. Here follow a list of those conversations:

Assassin's Creed

While being held captive at Abstergo, Desmond secretly had conversations with Lucy Stillman, Dr. Vidic's assistant.

Assassin's Creed II

After escaping Abstergo, Desmond was introduced to Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane by Lucy. These two would assist Lucy in training Desmond to be an Assassin.

After arriving in the Hideout

Lucy

• Desmond: Hey, I just wanted to say thank you, and that I'm sorry.
• Lucy: Sorry?
• Desmond: Yeah, you know, everything back at Abstergo. It's just... I wasn't ready.
• Lucy: It's okay.
• Desmond: No, going through all that, knowing that the Templars still exist, what they're planning...
• Lucy: What's done is done. You're here now and that's what matters.

• Desmond: Lucy, I've been seeing things. Symbols in my bedroom, the code on the keypad... Just like Altaïr.
• Lucy: It's from the bleeding effect. You're taking on more than your ancestor's memories, you're taking on their skills too.
• Desmond: Skills?
• Lucy: You're more receptive now, so if everything goes well, everything Ezio learns in the Animus, you'll learn too.
• Desmond: You really think that this will work? That I'll become an Assassin?
• Lucy: You already are an Assassin. You'll just be better at it.
• Shaun: Yeah, hopefully much better at it. I've seen the tapes from Abstergo, you didn't even try and escape.
• Desmond: What a dick.

Rebecca

• Rebecca: Hey Desmond, what's up?
• Desmond: Just wondering what your role is in all this.
• Rebecca: Me? I take care of the Baby. It's my job to keep her up and running.
• Desmond: Baby? You mean the Animus.
• Rebecca: Actually, I prefer Animus two-point-oh since Baby's twice as awesome than anything you'll find at Abstergo. The Templars may have deeper pockets than us, but they have no ambition, no passion, no competetive edge! That's why, even with all their resources, anything they can do, I can do better. Faster too. Anyway, take a seat when you're ready and we can get started. I just need to make few more adjustments..

Shaun

• Desmond: What's all this stuff for?
• Shaun: This stuff Desmond, oh this stuff is nothing special, really, this stuff is just the stuff that keeps our entire operation from falling apart, really. It requires a great deal of concentration to keep it all moving, so you'll forgive me if I don't have time to play meet and greet.
• Rebecca: Shaun's in charge of maintaining our knowlege archives - it's like a digital library. He'll be riding shotgun with me while you're in the Animus. So if you come across anything of note - people, places, events etcetera - he'll create database entries you can consult for additional informations.
• Shaun: Y-yeah, it's not just databases though. I also provide tactical support for the other Assassins. You know, Desmond, the ones who are out there - actually doing stuff. Risking their lifes, little things like that.
