Interlude:2020
Juhani emerged from the Animus, immediately moving to check the computer.
Memory Compilation Complete: Simulation Accuracy: 46%
Unable to Synchronize
Juhani frowned. This was not what he had hoped. It seemed Shay Cormac's memories were still inaccessible. Unless…
There was another possibility, provided there was enough overlap between the two perspectives. It was not a technique often used, at it increased the risk of non-bleeding effect related risks: nausea, dizziness, and epileptic seizures, among others. Still, if one were willing to accept the risks, it was possible to swap perspectives mid-simulation. Yes, Juhani decided. He would have the Animus sequence both samples at once, simulating both memories simultaneously. With any luck, it should suffice to allow him access to Cormac's memories. He input the commands, settling back as the computer parsed the data. His mind returned to the events he had just witnessed, mulling them over.
The Northwest Indian War had broken out, of course, despite all attempts to prevent it. It seemed not even the Templars and Assassins together could defeat human stupidity. Which is why they need a firm hand to guide them, Juhani thought. A hand the Templars provide. Pity the Assassins couldn't see it, not even when their own allies did.
Samuel Adams had certainly come a long way from his revolutionary days. Power always seems corrupt to those without, Juhani mused, but when they gain it, they quickly come to embrace it. Much like how the two major American parties were quick to argue for removing power from the executive and restoring it to Congress, but only when the other side held the position.
The computer 'pinged', signaling its completion.
Connor Kenway Memory Compilation Complete: Simulation Accuracy 98%
Shay Cormac Memory Compilation Complete: Simulation Accuracy 69%
Juhani smiled. It would do. He would have to switch periodically in order to maintain synchronization with Cormac's memories, of course. Perhaps it is better this way, he mused. Juhani would experience these last, most pivotal moments, from both sides.
Yes, he decided, as returned to the Animus, this has worked out quite well.
