When you suddenly find yourself living smack dab in the middle of the world's oldest conspiracy theory, it's hard to tell what's true and what's complete bullshit.

For example, I read an Abstergo email referencing something called the "Philadelphia Project." Some believe this is the same event as "The Philadelphia Experiment" where the US Navy allegedly made a ship disappear, or teleport or something stupid like that. It was largely dismissed as a hoax.

Except that maybe something weird DID happen, and Abstergo and the Assassins were involved. Allegedly, the Templars tried to use a Piece of Eden to power a time travel machine?! And if that wasn't enough, some people say that they faked Nikola Tesla's death and forced him to build it. Which all sounds way more batshit crazy than the original urban legend.

And any time I try and ask an Assassin if any version of this story is true, they just look me dead in the eye and say, "Nothing is true…" and then they just… keep… staring at me. It's super awkward.
