Memory Block Six

ASSASSIN HQ:

Al Mualim is in his typical place behind the desk (I wonder how close he is to wearing a hole through the floor) and assures Altair that Robert is the last target. With his death, all the templar leaders will be dead and no one will know about the Pieces of Eden and then the Assassins can
put this whole thing behind them.

Altair, unwisely, asks about the nature of the Piece of Eden which is an open invitation for Al Mualim to go on an even longer monologue. The Master says Robert wants it because it is power. The Templar plan is noble, to bring about world peace, but the means would suck because by using the Pieces of Eden he he would be sapping everyone of their free will. Altair asks if maybe we could just reason with him. No such luck says Al Mualim.
