User blog comment:D. Cello/Animus Hardware code decyphered/@comment-4033956-20110614080644

So Desmond escaped "The Farm" on August 16th 2003? And Subject 16 died/turned himself into Animus codes on August 8th 2012, thus causing Abstergo to try and find another test subject? Then, 40 days later they found Desmond?
