"Hey," Desmond says, "You ever notice how the Google Drive icon looks a bit like the Abstergo logo?"

There's silence, and Desmond looks over his shoulder to see Shaun, who was rolling his eyes, and Rebecca, whose eyes were wide.

"Don't fuck with me like that, man," she says.

"I'm just saying, if anyone's got Templars in it, I'd guess Google," Desmond replies before shrugging and going back to his email.

With all they've got going on, Desmond expects that to be the end of the discussion. It was just a bit of fun to help lighten the tension they were all feeling.

"So!" Shaun announces, "I can tell you with reasonable certainty that Templars are not, in fact, behind Google Docs. While there are suspected Templars in the company, nothing points to any Templar activity behind the scenes. For once, we have an actual coincidence on our hands." Triumphantly, Shaun walks away and goes back to his station.

"When did he have time for this?" Desmond mouths at Rebecca, who only shakes her head with her lips firmly pressed together to hold in laughter.


I do almost all my writing in Docs/Drive lol. (Cross-posted on Ao3)
