Remember, AC4 will likely come out 2013-2015 (please don't be in 2013), so I doubt the story will continue directly AC3, maybe a couple of years in the future because AC-modern-day-plot is never set in the past, only the future or contemporary.

As for the story, I can see "Eve" beign the protagonist or a secondary character that helps stop Juno, plus getting help from Erudito and getting to understand him better.

As for the animus, I think it'll be somewhere in Asia, maybe Japan, sine there are many references to Japan in some of the still-unexplained cryptic messages.
