Laetitia: Do you care to explain what happened in Paris?

Berg: Gavin Banks led a team of Assassins to your laboratory and destroyed it.

Laetitia: That lab was supposed to be completely off the grid. How did they find it?

Berg: Banks is a known associate of Shaun Hastings and Rebecca Crane, who have infiltrated Abstergo before. He is also not your typical Assassin brawler. He follows information. They found a way to access to your Helix servers. Nothing is off the grid anymore.

Laetitia: That facility was dedicated to studying the Sage we recovered from Montreal last year.

Berg: If you had informed me of its existence, Sigma Team could have protected your interests.

Laetitia: Did you engage Bank’s team?

Berg: Sorkin and I tracked them from Paris to La Rochelle, where their ship was waiting for them. We fought, but we were outnumbered. Sorkin was stabbed seven times by an Assassin we have identified as Galina Voronina.

Laetitia: And you let them get away.

Berg: Let’s be very clear. I was trained to hunt and kill Assassins. It was you who disbanded my team and sent me on a fool’s errand across the surface of the Earth. I warned you this would happen.

Laetitia: You know what? I can admit when I’m wrong. You have my permission to re-form Sigma Team.

Berg: I need da Costa back.

Laetitia: Impossible. She’s still in Montreal.

Berg: Unacceptable.

Laetitia: I’ve apologized for my oversight, Berg, but don’t push me. The fact is, we need to find new Sages. Alvaro Gramatica tells me that Melanie Lemay has a few promising leads in Montreal.

Berg: When will da Costa be finished?

Laetitia: She’s ahead of schedule on security upgrades and firewalls, but Helix is a target for Assassins, Erudito, and… the First Civilization consciousness. So there have been some setbacks.

Berg: Is the building physically secure?

Laetitia: There’s security on site.

Berg: Send me there.

Laetitia: Oh? I thought you were too good to be wasted on such trivial matters.

Berg: I want da Costa back on my team, and if that building is a target, I need to make sure she’s looked after. I will also improve their security, in my own way.

Laetitia: Very well. I’ll start preparing the necessary documents. Like da Costa, you’ll be a consultant from Abstergo Industries, there to help bring them up to speed on some new policies.

Berg: In the meantime, send some extra agents to Paris. I suspect there may still be Assassins lurking there.

Laetitia: Speak.

Berg: Why has Violet da Costa been removed from Sigma Team?

Laetitia: I’m reassigning our assets as I see fit to align with the goals of the Phoenix Project.

Berg: The Phoenix Project? Sigma Team would be of more use hunting down the remaining Assassins. Let Delta Team hunt Precursor relics instead.

Laetitia: Those relics are the key to sequencing First Civilization DNA. Accomplishing that goal will in turn make the Assassins even less of a threat than they are now.

Berg: Be that as it may, Agent da Costa should not be wasted on something like Abstergo Entertainment.

Laetitia: Last year’s fiasco with the Sample 17 Project showed me that Abstergo Entertainment is more than just a disposable subsidiary. It’s the best resource we have to finding new Pieces of Eden.

Berg: It is a weak link that has been compromised by our enemies time and time again.

Laetitia: All the more reason to have da Costa secure their access to the Cloud servers. We’re confident that Melanie Lemay won’t fuck it up like Olivier Garneau.

Berg: Bringing a civilian like that into our ranks is also unwise.

Laetitia: Time will tell with Ms. Lemay, but she handled the John Standish situation with an even hand. She helped us discover the existence of Sages, and in doing so, has done more for Phoenix than you have, Mr Berg.

Berg: She also continues to ignore the presence of the Instruments of First Will within her operation.

Laetitia: Those whackjobs are actually useful to us for now. They’re a cheap source of relics we can exploit. If they become too much of a problem, we’ll deal with them with the same efficiency we deal with the Assassins.

Berg: Giving the Assassins time to regroup is a tactical mistake. We should strike them now, while they are at their most vulnerable.

Laetitia: We value your passion and expertise, Mr Berg, and your concerns have been noted. Now, pack your bags. You’ve got a busy year ahead of you.
