Memory Block 5: Abstergo Labs
Desmond awakens to a man (unseen) demanding Dr. Vidic get
some more information out of his test subject. He says wants a progress report
by the next morning and then leaves. Damn, even operatives for organizations
like the Templars have to fill out TPS reports. Vidic says that Desmond can
have the night off because he has work to do. I really love Vidic’s character
in that he is the game’s antagonist yet at the same time really just a
bureaucrat in this humongous organization.
Desmond gets up and tells Lucy that the machine kicked
him out. Her quick response of “the machine is fine and I think you should shut
up,” hits that she was responsible for the ejection. She turns to him and says
“we have to get out of here.” And explains that once they extract Desmond’s
memories they will use the information to bring about the much lauded “New
World Order.” The Templar treasure is the key. Lucy’s phone interrupts and it
is Dr. Vidic (calling from his office down the hall?) badgering her for Desmond’s
files.
While working at the nearby laptop, she expounds that the
Templars are exploring Desmond’s memories to determine where the other Pieces of
Eden. The one Al Mualim had was
destroyed in an accident at a secret Templar Lab under Denver
International Airport.
The term they keep using, “Everything is Denver,”
is a reference to that secret lab and it means “status ok.” I would think after
a super secret explosion “status is Denver”
would mean “status is FUBAR.”
Despite working for a ruthless organization that has its
hands in everything, (including placing security cameras in their own HQ) Lucy
and Desmond seem quite willing to talk about the secret motives of their
captors and escaping.
The next morning ...
The Dr. comes in and Desmond asks why some of the stuff
that the Animus is showing him is wrong. Vidic says that “online encyclopedias”
and high school textbooks are the wrong ones, or at least misinformed, and that
a lot of information was just made up.
Head back towards the Animus but follow Vidic as he heads
to the window. Approach slowly and you are prompted to pickpocket him. Desmond
grabs the flashing pen which is a data access key.
