The Animus Glitches
Rebecca tinkered with the panel on the arm of Baby, opening it to reveal a mess of wires. "Hmmmm…" she muttered to herself "Looks like that wire's a bust." She plucked out the burnt cord to match with a new one. Finding one of the correct size in the tray beside her she slipped the end into the circuit board and searched for the connecting node. "Green, green, green… red… blue. Ah! Here it is" Rebecca said as she pushed the other wires out of the way and connected the new one to the board.
"That should do it" she said as she clicked the panel cover into place. A spot of grease on the arm of baby caught her eye and she rubbed at it with her fingers. Suddenly the dial lit up and the Animus started humming "Uh... should it be doing that?" Shaun asked looking up from his desk. Ignoring him Rebecca rushed around and knelt in the seat to try to override the system but no matter what she did the Animus wouldn't shut down. Rebecca started to feel strange, a pulling sensation in her stomach dragging her into the Animus. "Oh, no..." she muttered. With a snap she was flung into the data stream of the animus.
Rebecca opened her eyes, she was in a white room little shards of some kind of mirror swirled around her, they whirled faster and faster, building into a ball above her head. She threw up her arm as something shattered through the ball and fell towards her. Assassin. Rebecca threw herself out of the way and watched as Altiir flew through the air, one arm extended, the other pulled back with the hidden blade engaged in the classic assassination pose. He plunged his blade into something she couldn't see. No, wait. There, a flicker, a ghost image, a memory barely there and yet... so real.
