Rifts

300px|right|The Abstergo Phone Records Rifts appeared to be breaks in the programming of memories within the Animus, which could be seen using Eagle Vision. Each of the ten rifts were found on key landmarks throughout Rome, and concealed Clay Kaczmarek's cluster puzzles.

Rifts were the equivalent of Glyphs, but instead of revealing a second Truth video, they simply relayed the message "The miracle is in the execution" over the apparent ultrasound of an unborn child, along with the inclusion of an executable file.

Unlike Glyphs, Rifts could not be seen or accessed without the use of Eagle Vision. Ezio Auditore da Firenze had to grab the edge of a Rift, whilst using Eagle Vision, and climb into it.

Various hidden messages such as coded numbers and letters, and  appeared in the Rifts, which when deciphered, explained Abstergo Industries' rise to power.

Locations
Centro District=====Rosa in Fiore====
 * On the outside north wall of the brothel on the second floor wall.

Palazzo Senatorio

 * On the back of the Palazzo, near the roof, towards the end of the free-running path.

Pantheon

 * Inside the Pantheon, on the wall right above the main entrance. Ezio could obtain this cluster by entering the Pantheon through freerunning up the wall nearest the entrance and then walking around and jumping on it.

Santa Maria dei Miracoli and Santa Maria di Montesant

 * On the western tower near the left dome.

Antico District=====Colosseo====
 * At the very top, northern side of the Colosseo, just west of the view point. It was on the outside wall, and Ezio could use the Colosseo's buy landmark sign as a point of reference, as the rift was almost exactly above that.

Acquedotto Claudia

 * Near the small town where Leonardo frequently was located, on the north side of aqueduct. Ezio could climb onto the top of the aqueduct and then drop down over the side to reach it. It was very close to the Borgia tower but on the opposite side of the aqueduct.

Aventino

 * On the Borgia tower facing north towards the city.

Campagna District=====Caserma di Alviano====
 * East side of the wall, on the outside of the perimeter, facing the aqueduct.

Castra Praetoria

 * In the inner courtyard where Octavian de Valois was assassinated, on the eastern wall.

Vaticano District=====Castel Sant'Angelo====
 * On the actual cylinder of the castle, on the south side where the top of the outer wall was closest to the cylinder, near a haystack, right below a circular window.

Puzzle types
Rifts retained some of the puzzles included in Glyphs, such as the rotating pictures and image-finding puzzles, but also included several new ones.


 * Chess: Desmond was shown a chessboard with all corresponding chess pieces, as well as a riddle that told him which piece to use and where to move it.


 * Decoding: Desmond was given a variety of images and a riddle, of which he could alternate between with a screen containing a two-layered rotating wheel that contained symbols, acting as a code sheet, as well as 2 rows of 4 boxes bearing changeable symbols that acted as a code entry box. By reading the riddle, he could search through these images for the hidden object that revealed the "correct coordinates" located in a single image, and, when the correct coordinates were found, Desmond could rotate the wheel to break the code.


 * Sound wave matching: Desmond was given an audio recording and multiple sound waves. By selecting the correct sound waves to match the one shown on the screen, he was allowed to listen to the audio tape and/or move on to the next puzzle.


 * Quarantine zone: This puzzle was always the last puzzle of every rift. Desmond was shown a black screen with a relatively small circular crosshair that revealed red, blinking dots as well as a background image. These dots emitted beeping sounds, increasing the closer the crosshair was. All dots had to be "activated" in a certain amount of time, and if any of the remaining dots were not activated, the puzzle was reset. These dots remained in the same area every time, even after the puzzle had been reset. After completing this puzzle, Desmond was given a video clip.

Cluster 1
 1=Puzzle 1: The puzzle was solved by selecting the five images of aristocrats not doing any sort of work. 2=Puzzle 2: The puzzle was solved by moving the pawn at E2 to E4.

"They become increasingly aware of our existence. We can no longer rely on the divine right of the aristocracy to maintain control. We need a new system, something much more subtle." 3=Puzzle 3: The puzzle was solved by hitting A or Cross to "activate" the blinking red light found here:

Cluster 2
1="The individual intends only his own gain, and he was in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention."
 * [[File:AdamSmithsignature.png]] —

2=Puzzle 1: The puzzle was solved by turning the first, inner ring left four times, the second and first rings right twice, the third and first rings left three times, and the fourth outer ring left four times.

"By far the greatest part of those goods which are the objects of desire, are procured by labour; and they may be multiplied, not in one country alone, but in many, almost without any assignable limit, if we are disposed to bestow the labour necessary to obtain them." 3=Puzzle 2: The first and third rings were linked, as were the fourth and first. Desmond turned the combined first and third rings right five times, the second ring right five times, the third ring left four times, and the combined fourth and first rings left twice to solve the puzzle.

"A great empire has been established for the sole purpose of raising up a nation of customers. It cannot be very difficult to determine who have been the contrivers of the whole mercantile system; not the consumers, we may believe, whose interest has been entirely neglected; but the producers, whose interest has been so carefully attended to." 4=Puzzle 3: The third ring was linked with the second as was the fourth with the first. The puzzle was solved by turning the first ring right three times, the second ring right four times, the combined third and second rings left five times, and the combined fourth and first ring right once.

"A country that makes provision to increase in inhabitants, whose situation is good, and whose people have a genius adapted to trade, will never fail to be gainers in the balance, provided the labour and industry of their people be well managed and carefully directed."

A string of letters appeared. "lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo lo" 5=Puzzle 4: The puzzle was solved by moving the pawn at F2 to F4. 6=Puzzle 5: The puzzle was solved by activating one of the two blinking lights shown below, and then quickly activating the other light before the cursor filled up with red.

MESSAGE FROM ABSTERGO INDUSTRIES
July 22, 1944

Fellows, rulers, welcome.

I deliver this speech to you as, several floors below us, a silent revolution begins.

''Ranny Olds and Henry Ford. As many of you know, these founders gave us the assembly line, the device we have used to control both (those indoctrinated into the worship of our money (?) ) capitalists and workers (slaves (?) ) alike. But I dream of a future in which such ugly chains will no longer be necessary. In 1910, our founders designed the Plan, it falls to us to see it through.''

''But, what of the Communists, who intend to spread the bread so thin that everyone will starve? It is our duty to (neutralize (?) ) save them and their followers. We must ensure that the continue to eat, to reproduce, to be productive members of society. That is our burden, to shepherd those beneath us through life, and we must embrace it, even if (force is required (?) ) they themselves do not.''

''H. and S. brought on the turmoil and fear necessary, now we must strike fast to ensure development continues in the proper direction. We will appear to concede ground to the workers, remember the successful ruse of Rockefeller's dimes, but soon there will be no ground we do not own.''

''In 1937, we founded this Company, this enterprise, with a purpose. The time to nurture it to fruition is upon us.'' 4=Puzzle 3: The puzzle was solved by moving the white pawn at F4 to E5, taking the black pawn and putting the white pawn into the black knight's path. 5=Puzzle 4: The puzzle was solved by activating one of the two blinking lights shown below, and then quickly activating the other one before the cursor filled up with a red outline.

Cluster 4
1=Puzzle 1: The puzzle was solved by choosing the five pictures that showed a robot or computer with a human operator. A string of words appeared. "Apples oranges pears cucumbers radishes carrots spinach dates wood juniper steel aluminum water rain shanty village town city country spring summer fall winter to walk to sing to dance to play to eat to smile to cry to laugh to kill to see to know death regret love" 2=Puzzle 2: The first, inner ring was linked to the fourth, the third to the first, and the fourth, outer ring to the second. The puzzle was solved by moving the combined first and fourth rings right once, the second ring left four times, the combined third and first rings right four times, and the combined fourth and second rings right once.

"It is possible to invent a single machine which can be used to compute any computable sequence."

"I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain." 3=Puzzle 3: Most of the hints were a red herring. All Desmond needed to focus on was the fourth line, so the puzzle was solved by moving the pawn at G2 to G3. 4=Puzzle 4: The puzzle was solved by selecting the first two boxes. 5=Puzzle 5: The puzzle was solved by activating one of the two blinking lights shown below, then quickly activating the other one before the cursor fills up with a red outline.

Cluster 5
1=Puzzle 1: The puzzle was solved by moving the queen from D1 to E2. 2=Puzzle 2: The puzzle was solved by selecting the area shown below where the angel held a lightning bolt, revealing a hidden current of electricity, as well as one Abstergo logo and an incomplete one. Advice: "Since none of these photographs contain rain, I'd search for a stylized lightning bolt."

Subject: South America

''If we are to ensure the Company's success, Company agents must be able to move freely from country to country and maintain power within all of them. A global international order must be implemented.''

Re: Argentina

''Tell the Capitalists that if they help ensure the Junta remain in power, we will pass all their corporate debt on to the Argentine people. That will ensure they crush any popular revolt. I want the trade unions destroyed if we are to move forward.''

Re: Chile

''The free market must be allowed to prevail. F.'s visit last year helped things along, but now all public companies need to be sold to the private sector, ideally on the cheap. The price of bread and other staples must rise. I want to ensure the people remain marred in poverty and unable to resist.''

''Any traces of this plan should appear to implicate the U.S. government. The Company's involvement must remain hidden.''

LETTER TO BORIS YELTSIN
10 DOWNING STREET

Mr. Yeltsin,

''I am writing this letter to encourage you to act. One rarely finds oneself in such an opportune position. Gorbachev does not have our interests at heart. He is moving far too slowly to privatize, and my deep fear is that he has no intention of doing so at all. I understand that you have expressed similar concerns. With that in mind, here is a proposal to remedy the situation.''

''Several of my top advisors at the Company maintain a monetary connection with the Communist old guard. They tell me that a riot might be easily incited while Gorbachev is away. If you were to repel an attempt to seize parliament in front of the media, it could very well tip the scales of power in your favor.''

Telephone me at No. 10 and we shall talk further.

RE: Privatization

S.,


 * I have convinced Sandra to join the majority opinion. The enticement of retirement under a Republican president tipped the scales. Although the ruling will differ from our previous decisions on Equal Protection, it will not call attention to our actual goals. With Sandra gone, we can pave the way for the key majority member of the Order to be seated. As discussed, W. will prove the perfect distraction. I have no doubt he will restart animosities with Iraq. Let him, it will give C.'s contractors more work. When the time comes, I will make sure W. is given Roberts' name.


 * With Roberts on the court, it will only be a matter of waiting for the right case. After the destruction of Campaign Finance laws, the Company will be free to elect anyone they choose to the Senate, the House and, eventually, the Presidency.


 * Soon, our hopes will be realized. Government will no longer derive its authority from the people, but from us, their protectors.

Dear S.,


 * Research had progresssed far more rapidly than expected. We already have a working prototype capable of mimicking P.O.E. capabilities across a network, albeit at a far lower intensity. Testing will commence locally on Subject 4 between his Animus sessions, as per our plan. If all goes well, deployment will occur worldwide.


 * Your dream is about to become a reality. Soon, capitalists and workers will be locked in a closed loop that is safe and prosperous for humanity. No more war, only desks, cars and TV sets. We will protect them and keep them safe, forever.

Abnormal Brain Activity Discovered in Children, Aged 3 Months to 18-Years-Old and Adults, Aged 19-30.

Abstract

Several recent studies conducted by internal marketing teams revealed that: "Entertainment sales are dropping, protests are mounting. The economy is in turmoil. All market research indicates that the system should be stabilizing, but, instead, we're seeing the opposite."(1) In response, our team set out to discover the cause of the declining efficacy of Abstergo's control methods.

Past studies of bilateral brain activation during television, film and video game have shown the characteristic ARAS patterns induced by Abstergo's signal patterns. Our study was conducted on a range of test subjects (30 subjects, aged +-10 to +-30), who viewed TV programs while resting-state fMRI scans were conducted.

In contrast to previous studies, 80% of test subjects showed heightened cortical brain activity. Detailed scans using our prototype dMRI machine revealed an increased rate of neuronal development (+-30% over that of older age groups). Such a marked increase does not fit Darwinian models. Further studies are required to define the ultimate outcome of this abnormal evolution.

7=Puzzle 7: The two circles below showed the beginning and end points of a large swirl made up of blinking red dots. Desmond had to "activate" every last dot in the chain to continue.



Trivia

 * Even after completing the present-day segment in the Colosseum and falling into a comatose state, Desmond was still able to hear the voices of the modern Assassins after completing the final Rift. However, the game would not conclude with Desmond in free fall, but in an ordinary loading screen still featuring him.
