William, I'm writing to you from the confinements of a photo booth, I can't afford to be writing so openly, so forgive the messy layout and shortness. I will write to you again once I am settled and detail you with what I have discovered.

After the course of one month, I was able to catch the next ride from America from a fisherman. He told me that if I didn't help work while I was stowed on board, he would throw me into the sea. Fishing isn't all that hard - it's just the smell that makes me feel nauseous. But I finally made it to Europe, and so far the Templars haven't found me - I am sure that they are close, though. I was told by Professor Kiellor, my supervisor, before setting off, that the presence of the Assassins are known throughout Europe. Although I'm sure this number is greatly exaggerated since he gave me the data that was taken before the Great Purge. I know that the team of most significance is working through Italy with a man I'm sure that you are familiar with, known as Desmond Miles. Their main focus, however, is working within the animus for both tracking and training. With all due respect, sir, but I don't think that you will find anyone of importance in my genes, so I will not be heading towards Italy.

Instead, I am heading for England as I've been told that there is a team working in Essex, although, I'm not sure where. It will not take me long to find out, as I am sure you are aware of. Once I've found them, I shall establish a Hephaestus Network and e-Mail you as quickly as I can. This shall be the last letter I send until I set up the network, it is becoming increasingly dangerous and I've been seeing the same white unmarked van for the past two days, and it's just the right size for surveillance gear. If you hear nothing from me within two weeks - I will have been comprimised. Do not send replacements. Do not send a search party.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Damien.
