Desmond Miles expected to die. He didn't expect to wake up in a horse-drawn cart headed for execution. /I must've passed out again, and they stuck me back in the Animus as usual./ But the Animus has a few bugs, it seems. He can't get to the menu or turn on the map. Also there's dragons. (Spoilers through AC3)
