[-] Hello? Gavin?
[+] [static] Hold on. [static] I’m back. Hello? Can you hear me?
[-] Yes. Much better, thanks. What’s going on?
[+] You know, roaming the high seas, plundering and pillaging, a
girl in every port. That sort of thing. Just calling to give you an
update. It’s been too long.
[-] It has. Adriano kept me in the loop. No news from our friends
down under?
[+] No good news, if that’s what you mean. We had time to check
things out. I... I did it myself, Bill. [pause] They’ve all been
eliminated.
[-] Shit! [pause] What about Osaka?
[+] The team lost their tail and made contact, as planned. Secured
a new safe house yesterday... Well, not quite new. We haven’t
used that one in a while. You know the place. You’ve been there
before, in 98.
[-] Right. Glad to hear it.
[+] As for Moscow, they’re still searching.
[-] Let’s hope this isn’t a dead end.
[+] Keeping our fingers crossed. It’s a promising lead, Bill. Give
them time. What’s the word on your end? Adriano...
[-] He’s fine. His condition has much improved. He swears he
feels 20 years younger.
[+] Good.
[-] I’m with his cell now. We’re safe and sound. Monitoring the
team. They’re still at the Villa, but they’ve made unbelievable
progress. You wouldn’t believe it, Gavin. I’ll send you a full report.
[+] Perfect.
[-] Keep this to yourselves for now. The last thing we want... Well,
you know.
[+] Of course.
[-] Alright. Thanks for calling. I’ll talk to you soon, old friend.
[+] Take care, Bill.
[-] Happy plundering

The future of ice cream
As we approach the opening of the first museum dedicated to ice cream, the result is a true revolution in taste. In fact, the taste! A new generation of ice cream in the country has in fact decided to challenge tradition, creating ice cream with gorgonzola cheese, green pepper and even lobster and vodka. Which will you choose?
Villa Auditore for sale?
The historic villa, acquired in the fourteenth century by Domenico Auditore, has belonged to his heirs until the turn of the sixteenth century. Since then, it has fallen into disrepair, but signs of recent activity suggest that it may be for sale. Even Villa Auditore will end up in foreign hands?

leave a message. For more options, press 1. [bip]
[+] It’s Lucy. I realize this is a security breach, but we can’t keep Desmond
in the Animus forever. If we push too hard I fear for him. Maybe not for his

to me.
