The first impression Desmond Miles had in regards to Subject 16 was not a very good one as he somehow manage to see what others could not see, and thus using his ancestor's abilities somehow came upon the various drawings and writing that decorated the room/prison both had shared.
Symbols and such that had been written in blood.
The first impression did not change overly much, either badly or well, as Desmond lived and learned through the life of a common ancestor of 16 and himself. Especially when he found himself manipulating Ezio into looking for the odd anomalies that were like digital graffiti spread out through Italy by 16. The off the wall puzzles and encryptions, and the bits of speech coupled with those far too quick clips of some sort of event that they were supposed to interpret was also not really points of goodness for 16 in Desmond's eye. They weren't bad points either after getting a taste of what prolong exposure to the Animus could cause as the hallucinations and odd dreams encroached upon his own mind.
An odd sort of desperation took hold and colored Desmond's impression of 16 when he had managed upon the maze that was in but outside of the Animus and its normal operating standards. The man before him leaving him with more questions then answers after everything was finally completed at each coordinate found.
The find me within the darkness was also not exactly comforting in retrospect. 16 had died by what Lucy had spoken off, or did 16 do even more to the Animus then leave puzzles and embedded data for them to find?
None of this had truly given him any preparation as his mind suddenly went black after the bitch Juno had made him stab Lucy and finding himself once more in the Animus but not. Staring into the bemused stare of bright green eyes on a face that had some vague resemblance to him.
The lightening bolt shaped scar was the oddest thing however in Desmond's fragmented mind.
This is entirely the fault of me watching AC: Revelation trailer over and over again, and thinking about just what sort of things Desmond is going to have to go through in his portion of the game to get out of the coma. That and my odd fondness for Subject 16 and the snippets of his life we get from Lucy, emails, and 16's own little sidequest.
