Part 30

Navigate Part 30 of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Learn about the Animus, Subject Seventeen's progress, and critical Abstergo communications.

Alright, let's dive into Part 30 of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. This section focuses heavily on the behind-the-scenes communications within Abstergo, giving us a clearer picture of their goals and the challenges they're facing. It's less about direct action and more about understanding the context of Desmond's situation.

We'll be looking at a few key emails and reports here. First up is a message from Alan Rikkin, who seems to be in charge of the analysis of the Animus recordings. He's talking to Warren Vidic about the ongoing efforts to locate and understand various artifacts, with the Piece of Eden being the top priority. It sounds like Subject Seventeen (that's you, Desmond!) is still having some trouble interfacing with the Animus, which is causing delays. Rikkin estimates another 24 hours before the next critical update and mentions that an extraction team is on standby. He stresses that you *must* unlock that final memory because everything depends on retrieving the locations of the other objects.

The email also touches on a few other projects:

• Piece of Eden (no. 3): The search continues after the loss of artifact no. 2 in the DIA Satellite Accident.
• Philadelphia Project: Data suggests a ship briefly manifested in a future state for about 18 minutes. Corporate policy dictates that any objects manipulating time must be contained, so the artifact will be moved to secure storage due to paradox concerns.
• Tunguska Incident: This is now believed to be an Assassin attack that destroyed a research station and an artifact. They're looking into locating descendants of survivors to continue research, as this technology could help with those resistant to the Satellite's activation.
• Grail: This objective is being removed due to insufficient evidence of its existence. They believe artifacts related to Christ-figure are literary devices, and even if real, its use is negligible.
• Mitchell-Hedges Communicators: These are confirmed to work, providing a secure communication channel post-launch, but they are limited in number and will only be provided to essential facilities.

Rikkin really emphasizes that Vidic needs to wrap things up with Subject Seventeen as soon as possible. The retrieval of those locations is crucial.

Next, we see an email exchange between Lucy Stillman and Warren Vidic regarding a conf room door. It seems the passcode was changed, and Lucy is asking Warren for the new one. He initially doesn't understand, but then Lucy clarifies that the remote access is down. This is a small detail, but it shows the day-to-day operational issues they deal with.

There's also a snippet from the 'Abstergo News Wire Services' about the Mexican President promising better border security, with troop numbers expected to triple and concerns about increased violence. This is likely background flavor, hinting at the wider world context Abstergo operates within.

Finally, there's a mention of an email from Lucy Stillman to Warren Vidic about Subject Sixteen, where she believes her report validates her belief that they need to be treating them differently. This hints at further developments regarding Subject Sixteen's condition and Lucy's concerns.
