Speedy Delivery was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore da Firenze's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.[1]
Description[edit | edit source]
Ezio Auditore was asked to deliver three letters, one from a man named Rigarda, another from a woman named Diana, and the last from Michelangelo, to three recipients living in the Tuscan countryside.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
- Contact: Please get this delivered on time and I'll repay you handsomely!
- Dear Luca,
I have been working to find a match for your daughter, but I find that most man in San Gimignano are weak and foolish, and those who are not are put off by your daughter's displays of independence. One potential suitor was shocked by her desire to leave the house without a head covering; another was dismayed to find that she had planned the activities for the day herself. This cannot continue to go on if I am to find a husband for her.
Take out the stick and beat her if you have to, but make sure she is docile the next time I bring a suitor by. If you cannot straighten her out, we may have to consider a nunnery.
Sincerely,
Rigarda[2]
Ezio made his way outside the city and found Luca.
- Luca: Molte grazie. (Thank you very much.)
- Politics, politics, always politics. You swear that you are too busy at court to visit your son, but that is a lie. I know that you do not want to be seen with him. How many heirs has your supposed wife, Bella, produced? None, by my count, and I keep track. You think that I am beneath you, and you may be right, but at least I had the courage to take care of your son rather than throw him out in the street, which many a night I yearned to do. Instead, I have raised him to be a good boy. He minds the house while I work in the shop.
Now, he's almost all grown up and the heir to your estate. And who do you have? An upper-class wife, who commandeers your money, wears a wig and parades around like a peacock, in spite of the fact she is as infertile as a donkey. I may envy your money and your masculinity, Vincente, but I do not envy you that.
Visit our son or not, he'll have your estate soon enough. May God comfort you during the endless winter of your fertility.
Ciao,
Diana[3]
Ezio found the second recipient, Vicente.
- Vicente: Eh grazie. (Thank you.)
- Dear Father,
It has been almost a week since I abandoned my schooling. I don't expect you to understand why, I can't really explain it myself, but I feel the world flying by and I need to catch it, to become part of its tides and currents. I'm not very good with speaking or numbers, but with my hands I can shape everything flowing around me, every moment, every mood.
I know that you wanted me to become something more than an artist, but, please, for the sake of my future, relent. As you have always known, I am much more interested in sculpting and painting than I am in studying and now the artist Domenico Ghirlandaio has asked me to join him as an apprentice. He just got back from Roma, where he painted a masterful panel in the Cappella Sistina. If I work hard, I might even be invited inside the Vatican, and maybe I'll get to see it.
Please give your blessings to this apprenticeship. I promise to live up to your lofty expectations, and I hope that one day you will be proud of me.
Your son,
Michelangelo[4]
Ezio found Ludovico Buonarroti.
- Ludovico: Ahh grazie. (Thank you.)
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Ezio successfully delivered all three letters to the recipients in time.
