"Welcome, Mr. Nick Sanders*. We have been waiting for a tester with credentials like yours for a very long time. Today, you will be Beta testing a device we here at Abstergo Industries call The Animus. This device allows you to go back in time, by accessing your genetic code. You see, Mr. Sanders, our memories are actually stored within our DNA. And not just our own memories, but the memories of all of our ancestors.

"But you don't need to know the specifics. You are here to test our newest model of the machine. If you need any help after our little tutorial on how to use The Animus, all you need to do is ask this man here, Cross. He has been using the Animus all his life. In fact he helped to design most of the applications that you will be using today. We just need you, an outside party, to test out the programs for us. Our goal is to release this product into the gaming world, for gamers and also for historians. Our hopes are that with today's most bought product, The Animus Project will quickly become 2013's best-selling game worldwide.

"Here is where you will find all the tools you need to operate the Animus. We have a specially patented chair for you to sit in while testing. You will be among 9 Beta testers, all of whom will be getting the finished product free of charge, and all with more advanced options than what will be released to the general public. This device here is called the Animus Gauntlet- it scans your heart rate and blood pressure during each session. This visor goes over your eyes and allows for the gauntlet to also monitor your brain during each session, while at the same time allows you to see the game in your head. It's all very complicated to explain right now. When you wish to begin your first session we will need to draw a very small amount of blood to be placed inside the gauntlet.

"This scans your DNA and finds an ancestor who you would be most compatible with as long as they meet our specifications. In order to activate the gauntlet you must scan your left thumb print while pressing down on the scanner button. This will activate the blade insert- don't worry it isn't a real blade it was designed to look that way by our technicians. It works much in the same way that a Thumb drive would work when you plug it into your computer. While gripping the joystick, the blade insert will fit into the slot in front of it. This activates the final start up processes of the Animus Project.

"Once activated, the visor on your head will sync with your brain and will transmit a virtual reality into your mind. Your body will be immobilized when this activates. In order to leave the animus, say you need to use the bathroom; all you need to do is activate your menu. All of this of course will be in the tutorial program the first time you get in. I will be back here in two hours to see how you are doing. If you have any complaints they will be addressed then. Now please, Mr. Sanders, strap on the gauntlet, and sit down."
