Abstergo Industries Neo-Chemical and Medical Research Lab was a complex belonging to Abstergo Industries located in the North Harrow neighbourhood of London, England. Built around 2016, numerous key roles in the facility were infiltrated by the Instruments of the First Will who made use of the location in their plans. Led by the Sage Kumar, the Instruments abducted a number of individuals whose genetic memories carried instructions on how to resurrect the Isu Juno and brought them to the lab to investigate. The square three-story glass building had a sign with a three-colored Abstergo symbol and backlit "For A Better Future" text.[1]
History
After the kidnapping of actress Regina Davies, an Assassin cell infiltrated the building, making their way to the main lab in the basement, where they found two scientists monitoring the condition of Regina, who floating in an Animus inserted in a strange containment tube, seemingly unconscious. From the adjoining control room, they gave their field tech Anjali remote access and her pieced it together that Regina had fallen into a semi-comatose state due to a malfunction and they would have to enter the simulation and relive it with Regina. An arriving military helicopter landing in the courtyard gave the mission further urgency, though Anjali said he would use the security system to delay their arrival.[1]
Though Juno attempted to trap the Assassins inside a glitched memory, they managed to escape her trap and finish the memory, emerging from the simulation. Their respite was short-lived, however, as the container with Regina shattered, revealing her clasping her head in distress. A group of armed Instruments surrounded her as one of them ordered the elimination of the Assassins and the "rescue" of their Mother of Wisdom. Though tired, the cell managed to defeat the Instruments and freed Regina from Juno's control, before approaching police sirens signaled the time for a hasty retreat.[2]
