Conclusion

Abstergo Industries Headquarters, Milan, Italy, 2012

As the network shut down and the remaining participants were ripped from their epic battle and slammed back into reality, the sudden withdrawal overwhelmed them; their senses crippled, they were unable to respond as Abstergo's security forces poured into their respective compartments and lifted them from the Animi.

Nightbringer and Fluffy were afforded the upmost care, whereby they were escorted to a side-room and given a comfortable seat; the same could not be said for johnhughthom, however, as he was swiftly paralysed with a stunrod and dragged away to an undisclosed location at the far end of the laboratory.

Dr. Warren Vidic entered the room and approached the two remaining employees, his hands folded behind his back and a warm smile upon his face; "congratulations gentlemen, it seems we have found those responsible for disrupting the Project."

Nightbringer and Fluffy's minds were still foggy, as they were yet to acclimatise to reality after an extensive time in the Animus; Vidic quickly picked up on this as he sat at a lone computer terminal, ushering for his assistant to give the pair a glass of water each.

"Do not be alarmed, you are quite safe from the Animus now."

Vidic turned back to the computer, his fingers flying rapidly over the keyboard, his eyes fixed upon the data that rolled across the screen; "as you are aware, we have been following your training progress throughout the session".

The two remaining subjects nodded quietly, gently sipping their water as they listened intently to what their superior had to say; however, his warm smile soon reverted to his usual cold frown as he continued to read the data, evidence that he was displeased with what he saw.

"There were many subjects who displayed exceptional skills and demonstrated a real knack with the synchronization process", he said gruffly, typing some more, "it was highly unfortunate to have lost such exemplary samples."

Security personnel began to re-enter the room, taking positions next to Vidic; "we will have to write you both off as failures, your synchronization levels are well below the par we wanted."

The head researcher gestured towards the disorientated survivors, the security employees closing in on Nightbringer and Fluffy upon his instruction; "it wasn't a total failure however, we should be able to mine plenty of data from johnhughthom for our next training session."

The guards began to manhandle Nightbringer and Fluffy, who were completely unable to defend themselves from being seized from their seats; "take them to the disposal unit, we will have to bring in a fresh new batch."

Both surviving employees were dragged away, kicking and screaming, through the same metal doors that johnhughthom had been taken through. Vidic climbed to his feet, rubbing his hands together in anticipation, as he passed on instructions to his assistant; "ready the Animi for the next lot, and make sure there is no viruses this time."

On the computer terminal, the assistant noticed a small message pop up as Vidic left the room:

'Secura' has logged off.
