The following is a transcript recovered by Absergo following the events of the Subject 17 Crisis*

A camera powered on, held crookedly, as the blurring image began to focus on a man speaking to someone off camera. Analysis confirms it as voice of Subject 18. Aka: John Grey. Alias: Corvus. Wanted by Abstergo Enterprises for Corporate Espionage, Sabotage, Tampering of Evidence, Murder, Theft, Larceny, Conspiracy to Commit Murder, Donestic Terrorism* "I don't understand why I have to do this..."

A woman's voice, American. Analysis confirms it is the voice of Rebecca Crane. Wanted by Abstergo Enterprises for Corporate Espionage, Sabotage, Tampering of Evidence, Fraud, Accomplice to Murder, Theft, Larceny, Black Mail, Conspiracy to Commit Murder*

"You said you wanted to get back at Abstergo. This is a start. After what happened with Lucy...I still dont get it. How could she betray us?"

A man's voice, British. Analysis confirms it is tge voice of Shaun Hastings. Wanted by Abstergo Enterprises for Corporate Espionage, Sabotage, Tampering of Evidence, Fraud, Accomplice to Murder, Black Mail, Libel, Conspiracy to Commit Murder* "Well, it's done now, isn't it? We are on the run without even Desmond for help and we are stuck with this git."

"Shaun...after all we've been through..." John replied.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." Shaun retorted wryly. "But the last good friend I had who pretended to be a double agent royally fucked with my notion of whom to trust. Not like that was easy to begin with..."

"Shaun..." Rebecca pleaded.

"Not now, Rebecca..."

"Besides," John said. "We're rolling..."

"Shit" Rebecca said with a startled jump, shaking the camera.

The Camera straightens and focuses on John*

"State your name and purpose for the camera..."

"John Quincy Grey. Aka Corvus. I am going to expose Abstergo Enterprises."

"Why?"

"I once thought we were going to change the world for the better. But Abstergo's version of better and mine differed."

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"Abstergo has kidnapped, tortured, and murdered countless individuals in the guise of research. But in reality they have stolen the genetic memories of those individuals for profit and also a conspiracy to use Precursor Technology in conjuction with a ressressurected splinter cell called Crows to enslave humanity. They plan to create a version of the Animus tgat can not only observe and relive memories but change the course of history.." John sighed. "I am going back into the Animus. In the body of my ancestor, D'Artagnan Le Fille. A crow and musketeer in service to Louis XIV...It is quite posspossibly our only hope...Although I gotta admit. I am not too thrilled about going back in..."

"Well we can't always get what we want, eh?" Shaun said, his biting sarcasm beginning to fray John's nerves. "You say you're less of a git than the rest of the Abstergo assholes, prove it. I'll be glad to be proven wrong for once..."

"Well then...You're strapped in and ready to go." Rebecca said, with forced optimism. "Let's Rock n Roll!"

Rebecca shuts off Camera. End Transcript
