At first the animus made him queasy, it was like being in two bodies at the same time abstergo entertainment however had warned him that his first time was always the worst. He had signed up for some memory research involving various periods of time ranging from Alexandrian Greece to colonial America. However unless he stabilized his synch levels he wouldn't get the job, focusing on the task at hand he pulled himself towards the ship's wheel and grabbed onto it "archers fire!" i screamed suddenly a horde of fire arrows flew across the sea towards an enemy ship. Then a vice crackled over the animus intercom "David boost your synch levels by making 1500 drachmas of enemy ships." damn it women i knew how synch levels worked and my host had good memories of how to make money of ships. You don't sink them you capture them and sell there crew as slaves at a local a voice screamed get down as a mass of fire arrows flew towards us from the port deck, coming from a ship bearing the Persian kings private sigil. A ship twice our size with three times as many men on it i hoped this guy would have run away but my hopes were denied my objective popped up on screen capture the Persian ship. Ordering my men to use standard arrows i had the rowers get us side on to the ship my men fired and all of the sailors died with an arrow in their head.I ordered my men to board the other ship, drawing my sword i jumped to the other side and plunged my sword into a man's heart. My friend cleon had promised me plenty of gold for each ship i brought down in the battle. Everywhere i looked now there was death my men fighting Persians and ships being destroyed at the over side of the battle. I didn't have time to dwell on that now though as five a Persian spear men came at me quick as a bullet, i pulled out my shield and sidestepped at the last second. The plan took effect he didn't go over the edge but instead stopped close enough for me to stab him in the back. God this was weird it was like thinking two thought's at the same time, living in two lives. Suddenly a voice screeched "were going to hit land!" then just as our ships came together they parted with all of our men on the enemy ship. I grabbed on to the weapon rack next to me praying i wouldn't go over board. Then the ship was split in two by a rock twice the size of us.
"impressive work David your total synch level was 75% even after a rough start, follow me i will take you to your own animus. in the sample 18 project were taking the best bits from all subjects and samples to create a database for historians around the world." coming out of the test room they passed the common lounge where people came to show off their work by food and take a break. Suddenly his boss appeared "here take this its your communicator, you can use it to access all abstergo info." stepping into an elevator i used my communicator to send it upstairs to sample 18. "David follow me to your workstation." it was quiet up here on sample 18 they didn't use computer animus like sample 17 but the animus 4.0 to dive even deeper into history. "here we are David now just go online and use your communicator to make adjustments." it was suprising what the communicator 1.5 could do it was the size of a smart phone but with double capabilities. He switched the animus on and got in setting the point of history to ancient Greece and let the animus do the rest.
