在[[沃伦·韦迪克]]博士的领导下,Animus项目根植在了心理学、遗传学甚至行为上学等各个领域的研究之中。正如我们在Abstergo所知道的,那些曾被为神秘主义和[[Hermeticists|赫尔墨斯主义]]的成果,往往是蒙蔽在迷信的社会中所被误解的具体的科学突破。

阿布斯泰戈在全世界有上百名外勤特工,许多特工已经潜入了敌对组织中去了,还有更多的人将要如此。这类人在间谍术语中被称作鼹鼠。他们装作为某个特定团体、企业或者国家工作,而实际上他们只忠于我们特定的事业。然而我们的间谍并不仅仅是单纯的线人,他们更是忠诚的兄弟姐妹们,时刻准备着在我们的命令下发动攻击。
Abstergo has hundreds of field agents working throughout the world. Many of these operatives have already infiltrated the ranks of antagonistic organizations and many more are ready to do so. In espionage vernacular, they are known as Moles. While they pretend to work for a particular group, enterprise or nation, they are in truth loyal only to our particular cause. Our Moles, however, are much more than simple informants: they are faithful brothers and sisters, ready to strike at our command.
 
   
  +
在我们的卧底特工中有一小群沉睡者,这些男男女女为我们的事业奉献生命,是我们最为骁勇善战、最具先生精神的特工。他们自愿接受各种思想压抑和改造技术,过着伪造的人生,不再意识到正为我们而工作。
Among our deep cover operatives is a small group of Sleepers. These men and women have given their lives to serve our cause and they are our fiercest and most dedicated agents. By willingly subjecting themselves to various thought repression and reform techniques, these individuals live falsified lives and no longer realize they are working for us.

阿布斯泰戈的[[家系研究与获取部]]的主要目标是定位那些祖先可能会帮助我们揭示过去的实验体。这一部门识别那些目睹事件或者揭露我们认为具有彻底调查重要性的秘密之人的后代。
The main goal of Abstergo's [[Lineage Discovery and Acquisition|Lineage Discovery and Acquisition Division]] is to locate subjects whose ancestry might help us to shed a light on our past. This Division identifies descendants of people who have witnessed events or uncovered secrets we deem important enough to investigate, thoroughly.
 
   
  +
在过去的几年中,我们已经通过诸如“传承计划”这一的项目探索了许多实验体的遗传记忆。在大多数情况下,从实验体记忆中(通过各种方式收集到)得到的原始资料足已完成我们的研究,但我们发现在某些情况下,少数人的祖先对我们来说特别具有价值。这些实验体非常少,通常最适合Animus项目研究。
Over the past few years, we have explored the genetic memories of many subjects through initiatives such as Project Legacy. In most cases, raw materials from the subjects' memories (gathered through various means) is enough to complete our research, but in some instances we find rare individuals whose ancestry is especially valuable enough to us. Those subjects are few, and usually best suited to Animus Project research.
 
   
  +
[[戴斯蒙德·迈尔斯|实验体17号]]就是一个完美的例子。根据Animus的研究以及我们一名间谍提供的数据,我们已经确定,他至少有两位祖先成为了刺客兄弟会的导师。
[[Desmond Miles|Subject 17]] is a perfect example. We have determined – from Animus research as well as data provided by one of our Moles – that at least two of his ancestors lived to become Mentors of the Assassin Brotherhood.
 
   
  +
更重要的是,实验体17号能够唤醒一种罕见的第六感,这是一种被刺客称作“[[鹰眼视觉]]”的特殊能力。根据我们专家的说法,他通过我们称为“[[出血效应]]”的影响,获得了这种第六感,以及其他似乎锁定在他遗传记忆中的能力,而这是他待在Animus中的结果。
More importantly, it was discovered that Subject 17 was able to awaken a form of sixth sense, a rare ability which Assassins call "[[Eagle Vision|eagle vision]]". According to our specialists, he has gained this sixth sense, as well as other abilities seemingly locked within his genetic memory, through something we dubbed the "[[Bleeding Effect|bleeding effect]]", as a result of time spent in the Animus.
 
   
  +
这一实验体和其他像他一样的实验体都具有高度的价值,因为他们的遗传物质可能是更好理解人类起源的关键。
This subject and others like him are highly valuable, for their genetic material might hold the key to better understanding mankind's origins.

实验体4号是我们迄今为止最为重大的成功之一。我们在早期Animus的探索项目中,实验体4号有着一个重要的祖先。对他的遗传物质的探索让我们进一步了解1908年[[通古斯大爆炸|通古斯事件]]以及导致1917年[[俄国革命|布尔什维克革命]]的事件——而最重要的是[[俄罗斯刺客兄弟会|刺客兄弟会]]在这些动荡时期的活动。
Subject 4 is one of our greatest successes to date. Among the pioneering subjects of our early Animus research, Subject 4 had a significant ancestry. Exploration of his genetic material allowed us to further our understanding of the 1908 [[Tunguska explosion|Tunguska Incident]] as well as events that led to the 1917 Bolshevik [[Russian Revolution|Revolution]] – and most importantly the activities of the [[Russian Assassins|Assassin Brotherhood]] during these tumultuous times.
 
   
  +
然而实验体4号并非仅仅是一名碰巧拥有刺客祖先的人。他成为了一名沉睡者,也是我们迄今为止第二成功的卧底。
However, Subject 4 is much more than a man who happened to have Assassin ancestors. He became a Sleeper, and our second most successful undercover operative to date.
 
   
  +
通过各种思想改造技术,实验体4号的头脑中被印上了一个虚假的身份。最终刺客们找到了他,而且正如我们所预料的那样,他们立刻酒相信了他就是他们中的一员。但我们计划中最关键的部分就是实验体4号想要揭露他被篡改的过去。他意识到要做到这一点,就得找到兄弟会的领袖,那名连自己下属都不知道其真实身份的导师。
Using various thought-reform techniques, Subject 4's mind was imprinted with a false identity. Eventually the Assassins found him and, as we had anticipated, they almost immediately believed he was one of them. But the most crucial part of our plan was Subject 4's desire to shed light on his falsified past. To do so, he realized he would need the Mentor – the head of the Brotherhood, whose true identity was unknown, even to his own subordinates.
 
   
  +
2000年,实验体4号遇见了导师。当他满足了我们植入给他的命令条件后,他就杀死了导师,而这对兄弟会是一个毁灭性的打击。当我们找回实验体4号时,他透露出世界各地刺客训练营的位置,其中包括[[南达科塔州]]、[[Arizona|亚利桑那州]]、[[New Mexico|新墨西哥州]]以及[[Texas|德克萨斯州]]的营地。
In 2000, Subject 4 met the Mentor. When the conditions for the command we had implanted in him were met, he killed him, thus delivering a devastating blow to the Brotherhood. When we retrieved Subject 4, he revealed the location of Assassin training camps throughout the world, including compounds in [[South Dakota]], [[Arizona]], [[New Mexico]] and [[Texas]].
 
   
  +
总而言之,实验体4号[[丹尼尔·克洛斯]]是一名真正的英雄。
In conclusion, Subject 4, [[Daniel Cross]], is a true hero.

阿布斯泰戈文件Abstergo Files)是关于阿布斯泰戈工业圣殿骑士历史信息的卷宗,用来教导圣殿骑士新兵们关于他们组织的渊源,然后交给即将成为圣殿骑士大师的特工。

档案

文件.0.01\机构_目标

阿布斯泰戈工业公司是世界上最大的跨国公司之一。然而正如你们已经知晓的,我们的公司不止是一个普通企业。事实是,阿布斯泰戈是现代圣殿骑士组织的公众形象,我们是真正的圣殿骑士。

我们公司的起源根植于传统。尽管在20世纪末,阿布斯泰戈变得更加公开活跃,但在1910年,创始人们设计了计划,并在1937年创立了阿布斯泰戈。但这个公司,就像以前的圣殿骑士一员,一直在人类历史阴影下运作,直到我们认为有必要展现在公众面前。

虽然阿布斯泰戈的职能和任何其他公司一样,但还是有小部分雇员加入了组织。这些男女继续我们在秘密中进行的经年累月地寻求知识和认知。事实上,从阿布斯泰戈近乎无限的资源中使用先进的科学方法与设备,使我们能够追求我们最伟大最崇高的抱负:人类的进步。

文件.0.02\历史_开端

官方上来说,圣殿骑士团成立于1129年,但在12世纪以前,我们就有了各种称谓。当克利奥帕特拉宣称她与生俱来的权利时,当亚历山大大帝建立他的帝国时,当薛西斯派出军队镇压希腊人时,都有我们的存在。

几个世纪以来,许多杰出的人领导过我们的组织,但这当中最为卓越的人一直都是科学家,比如西尔维斯特二世。不幸的是,至少在欧洲,许多人因为所拥有的只是受到虐待,被贴上异教徒的标签。

圣伯尔纳铎出现时,他明白我们的组织需要教会作为盟友。他是整个基督教世界中最受尊敬的人物之一,他派遣了九名亲信亲信到圣地去寻找所罗门圣殿。当九年后他们归来时,伯尔纳铎彻底改变了我们的组织。

伯尔纳铎与最高大师于格·德·帕扬一同创立了拉丁守则,取得了教会的支持,并确保组织会在1129年的特鲁瓦会议上得到承认。在我们漫长的历史中,我们的组织第一次被公开,但其最真实、最高级的议程仍是秘密的。

文件.0.03\历史_黄金时代

特鲁瓦会议之后,我们的组织兴旺繁荣起来。在近两百年的时间中,我们在欧洲和圣地发挥着关键作用。在这段黄金时代中,圣殿骑士无处不在,我们的影响力为全人类的美好未来铺平了道路。

当普通人仍然相信我们唯一的目的是在圣地保护朝圣者时,我们的组织实际上已经强大到有了能够影响国王与教皇的手段。除了少数人外,所有人都不知道,我们在圣地发动的战争事实上既不是政治上也不是精神上的。这是一场对抗我们最可怕的敌人的战争,他们就是刺客

而不幸的是,我们的黄金时代结束得就和开始一样突然。

文件.0.04\敌人_刺客

上百年来,一些人和一些派系在阻挠我们,尤其有一个组织,他们一直是我们的眼中钉:刺客兄弟会。

有人说我们曾经是兄弟。有人甚至还认为我们曾经有着共同的理想,有着同样的梦想,对人类有着同样的希望。这也许是真的吧,但如果我们曾经和刺客们有着同样的目标,那也是十分久远的事情了。在能追溯的历史当中,刺客一直都在和我们组织打一场秘密战争。

刺客和圣殿骑士团一样,他们也在中世纪将组织公之于众。他们也同我们一样曾通过各种方式、冠以各种名号存在,也许从人类的曙光开始,他们的行动就已经遍布了全世界。

刺客们以小而孤立的小组行动。然而从古至今,领导兄弟会的都是称谓为导师的人,但很少有人知道他的存在。2000年,我们的一名特工潜入了他们的阵营杀死了他们的导师。随后的大清洗确保了许多刺客小组的灭亡,现在的兄弟会前所未有的虚弱。然而大清洗仍有漏网之鱼,刺客仍然是危险的对手。

他们训练有素,是无所畏惧的杀手,他们会不遗余力地阻挠我们。一个孤立的小队仍然有办法破坏我们的计划。永远不要忘记,刺客们诡计多端、神出鬼没、无所顾忌。

永远不要低估他们。

文件.0.05\项目_进行中

阿布斯泰戈的研究项目都有一个共同的目标:人类的进步。虽然其中许多方案已经向大众公开,但还有些只有我们少数组织内的人知道。

以下是我们目前为止最重要的计划:

索菲亚计划是研究刻印在活体细胞中的信息,研究它们通过生物途径在容器和导管间传递。通过分析这些细胞包含的事物以及它们如何影响我们的发育,让我们希望能更好地了解人类自身。也许有一天,我们甚至能够学会这个过程,预防致命的疾病。

传承计划通过数据转储扫描器程序对不同实验体进行记忆探索,并利用了总体人群来分析数据。这项计划还让我们能够跟踪、观察以及挑出特别有天赋的人。阿布斯泰戈就招募了这样一些人。由于安全问题,该项目暂时搁置。

虚拟战斗训练计划是对圣殿新手与资深特工的终极模拟训练。该项目确保让每名参与者不断提升自己的能力,同时发展新的技能以及深化他们对于历史的理解。虚拟战斗训练计划还允许阿布斯泰戈监控特工们的进展。

阿克夏卫星网络启动于2008年,是一个由环绕地球的通信、气象以及观测卫星所组成的网络。(更多信息无法获得 - 详见文件0.19)

文件.0.06\历史_至高之声

当我们竭力将文明拉出黑暗时代的时候,这些嫉妒我们力量和知识的刺客们设法渗透入我们的队伍当中,并在我们的领导人当中引发了异见。我们敌人用谎言、背叛和谋杀动摇了我们组织的根基。到了13世纪末,我们被兄弟会严重削弱。更糟的是,我们不得不面对新的敌人,被密谋对付我们的法国刺客操纵而不知不觉为其服务的腓力四世。他让圣殿骑士变成了教会眼中的异教,使得我们的武器对向了我们自己。

是时候再藏起来了。

最后一位被公众认可的大团长雅克·德·莫莱明白除非圣殿骑士被正式解散,否则我们的崇高理想将不复存在。他知道组织高于任何人,于是他做出了最大的牺牲。雅克·德·莫莱让自己被烧死在火刑柱上,不仅是为了拯救同伴和朋友的性命,同时也是误导敌人的举措,让他们相信组织已经和他一同消亡了。

就在这位大团长死前,他选出九名最信任的人,予以古代智慧作为武装,将他们送往世界各地。从那天起,圣殿骑士将在历史上最有影响力的人物的阴影之下,追寻他们的宏图大志,从而确保我们的理想能世代相传。

文件.0.07\敌人_博学者

尽管拥有最先进的计算机安保水平,还是有个自称为博学者的威胁多次设法入侵了我们的系统,正如在传承计划中看到的那样。

目前还不清楚博学者是一个人还是一个组织,但有证据表明他们是一些各自行动的人,但有一个共同目的:揭露我们的秘密议程。这个博学者集团是否与刺客兄弟会勾结尚不明确。但是不管知不知情,这个集团的行动无疑在为刺客的事业铺路。

文件.0.08\项目_Animus

沃伦·韦迪克博士的领导下,Animus项目根植在了心理学、遗传学甚至行为上学等各个领域的研究之中。正如我们在Abstergo所知道的,那些曾被称为神秘主义和赫尔墨斯主义的成果,往往是蒙蔽在迷信的社会中所被误解的具体的科学突破。

现代科学让我们能够理解深藏在DNA中“基因记忆”的真正潜力。现在有了Animus设备,我们就能充分探索我们Animus实验体的基因记忆,允许他们像考古学家挖掘化石那样挖掘自己的过去。

然而情况并非总是如此。在项目开始的时候,我们依靠心理疗法、催眠以及各种化学物质来让我们的实验体出于理想的精神状态,有时甚至会引发精神分裂的状态。幸运的是,多年来,Animus一直在进化发展,实验体的安全不再是一个问题。

很快,由于Animus项目的发起,科学家们不再对荣格集体无意识俄罗斯宇宙主义拉兹洛的A场(阿克夏场)等理论提出异议。

文件.0.09\机构_层级

阿布斯泰戈是一家上市公司,有着自己的公司章程。然而公众形象的背后是圣殿骑士组织。虽然联系紧密,但公司和组织有着重大差异。阿布斯泰戈是圣殿骑士的公众面目,但并非所有员工都知道组织的存在。事实上,在阿布斯泰戈工作的绝大多数人,包括我们大多数的科学家、工程师和CEO,都仅仅只是员工。他们没有疑心组织的存在,也并不知晓我们大多数工作背后的真正目的。

不可避免地,一些阿布斯泰戈员工便会是我们秘密组织的一员。例如沃伦·韦迪克博士,便是组织的高阶成员。

要了解更多阿布斯泰戈的公众目标、运营和结构的信息,请查询我们的公司章程。

文件.0.10\机构_特工

阿布斯泰戈在全世界有上百名外勤特工,许多特工已经潜入了敌对组织中去了,还有更多的人将要如此。这类人在间谍术语中被称作鼹鼠。他们装作为某个特定团体、企业或者国家工作,而实际上他们只忠于我们特定的事业。然而我们的间谍并不仅仅是单纯的线人,他们更是忠诚的兄弟姐妹们,时刻准备着在我们的命令下发动攻击。

在我们的卧底特工中有一小群沉睡者,这些男男女女为我们的事业奉献生命,是我们最为骁勇善战、最具先生精神的特工。他们自愿接受各种思想压抑和改造技术,过着伪造的人生,不再意识到正为我们而工作。

文件.0.11\项目_实验体

阿布斯泰戈的家系研究与获取部的主要目标是定位那些祖先可能会帮助我们揭示过去的实验体。这一部门识别那些目睹事件或者揭露我们认为具有彻底调查重要性的秘密之人的后代。

在过去的几年中,我们已经通过诸如“传承计划”这一的项目探索了许多实验体的遗传记忆。在大多数情况下,从实验体记忆中(通过各种方式收集到)得到的原始资料足已完成我们的研究,但我们发现在某些情况下,少数人的祖先对我们来说特别具有价值。这些实验体非常少,通常最适合Animus项目研究。

这一实验体和其他像他一样的实验体都具有高度的价值,因为他们的遗传物质可能是更好理解人类起源的关键。

文件.0.11b\项目_实验体4号

实验体4号是我们迄今为止最为重大的成功之一。我们在早期Animus的探索项目中,实验体4号有着一个重要的祖先。对他的遗传物质的探索让我们进一步了解1908年通古斯事件以及导致1917年布尔什维克革命的事件——而最重要的是刺客兄弟会在这些动荡时期的活动。

总而言之,实验体4号丹尼尔·克洛斯是一名真正的英雄。

文件.0.13\历史_权欲

While our Order thrived in the Middle Ages, it fell into despondency during the Renaissance. Operating on the fringe of society, our leaders – led by Rodrigo Borgia – lost their way. Blinded by greed and personal ambition, they forgot the purpose of our Order. These were truly dark times for us.

Despite the mistakes of the Renaissance, the search for understanding continued. In the shadow of the Cross, greater men pushed on, becoming what we should have aspired to be: true pioneers of scientific research. It was because of them that the era came to be called the Renaissance.

Humanity was not lost after all.

文件.0.14\第一文明_起源

Science has made tremendous leaps in the last decades, but none as great as we have made here at Abstergo. Thanks to many of our projects, we now hold indisputable evidence that the Bible, despite what any of us may believe, holds some truths. One of these truths is that we are descendants of what scientists have called mitochondrial Eve and Y-Chromosomal Adam. Eden, however, was a false paradise.

Ages ago, we were slaves of Those Who Came Before, an ancient race so advanced we have not yet even begun to fathom their technology. These beings created us in their own image by accelerating our own natural evolutionary process. However, through genetic manipulation they deprived us of our true heritage, to ensure mankind would remain enslaved. Compared to them, humans were – are – lesser beings. Nevertheless, we freed ourselves from their prison and survived, while they perished.

One day, through continued scientific advancement, we shall be able to reawaken the genes that lie dormant in all of us, the genes that our makers, the Ancients, Those Who Came Before, deprived us of. And thus give back to humanity the birthright it was wrongfully denied.

文件.0.15\历史_新的秩序

By the 17th century, humanity was finally ready. And so were we.

No longer would we tolerate savagery and ignorance. No longer would we stand idly by while men of science were made to suffer. No longer would we let mankind be led by selfish ambitions. The mistakes of the past – our mistakes – had to be rectified. Society's leaders and thinkers had to be influenced, not controlled. At the dawn of the 17th century, mankind seemed finally ready to be guided into a new age.

We would be that guide.

With intellectuals such as Spinoza, Locke, Newton and Bacon, a new model for society emerged, a society where science and technology could flourish. That served our purpose.

文件.0.16a\第一文明_科技

Those Who Came Before perished long ago, but their technology has survived through the ages. Although extremely rare, these artifacts, which we have dubbed Pieces of Eden, are immensely powerful. In the old days, people believed they were magical in nature. Some even imagined they were of alien origin. We know better.

Pieces of Eden are ancient, yet very advanced technological devices. For centuries, those of our Order toiled to acquire these lost treasures. While the Assassins would have you believe we seek these objects for the sole purpose of controlling humanity, the truth is that Pieces of Eden are not only incredibly useful, but they also hold knowledge that could help our cause – and thus humanity.

Perhaps more important than any artifact are the vaults of Those Who Came Before. Each of these vaults is a chamber housing what we assume to be some kind of First Civilization digital archive containing the knowledge of the Ancients. Despite our best efforts, we know the location of only too few of these vaults, and we have yet to understand how to extract the secrets they hold.

Once we understand the knowledge of the Ancients, we will be able to unlock our true potential. We will hold the key to a better future for humanity.

文件.0.18\第一文明_启示

For many, the word "Apocalypse" signifies the end of the world. This is not so. Apocalypses are events of great importance, turning points, which are followed by periods of renewal affecting all of mankind. These events and the cycles they initiate are hard to pinpoint and define with absolute certainty. However, based on archeological findings, various scientific researches and, most importantly, intensive analysis of raw data that we own, we were able to determine when some of these Apocalypses transpired.

One of these events is the Toba catastrophe, which occurred between 69,000 and 77,000 years ago. Following this cataclysm, Those Who Came Before became gradually extinct and what remained of humankind scattered across the planet. We estimate it took tens of thousands of years for Those Who Came Before to completely disappear off the face of the Earth, but the Toba catastrophe undoubtedly destroyed their society and ushered mankind into a new age.

Many such events occurred since, but our Order is more concerned with the future. Indeed, if our projections are correct, we are on the verge of another Apocalypse – one that will mark the dawn of a new age.

文件.0.19\项目_阿布斯泰戈之眼

The latest reports pertaining to Earth and space weather, more specifically solar flare projections, suggest that December 21 remains the most opportune time to launch the EYE-ABSTERGO satellite. A minor setback might force us to reschedule, but we are confident the issue will soon be resolved. Since the EYE will be the cornerstone of our Akashic Satellite Plexus, we have mobilized all our resources towards that goal.

Upgrades for the Akashic Satellite Plexus have been completed and the network is now adequately shielded. Despite the rise in solar flare activity, the ASP should remain fully operational, even if the worse projections were to materialize.

Once in low-Earth orbit, the EYE, enhanced by an Apple of Eden, will boost our observation capabilities. More importantly, it will act as an amplifier for the Apple.

Furthermore, preliminary analysis suggests we will have the means to locate individuals with potential, but far less certain is the EYE's ability to harvest raw data or awaken in humans what should have been ours from the moment of our creation.

文件.0.20\第一文明_实体存在

Little is known about the beings of the First Civilization, but recent findings have enabled us to ascertain several facts about them. Those Who Came Before were native to the planet. Like us, they were a product of evolution, a process that undoubtedly took hundreds of thousands of years. One theory is that the skulls from archeological sites around Boskop, South Africa, give fossil evidence of their existence.

These beings were anatomically similar to humans, though they were taller and their skulls approximately 30% larger. It is theorized that their larger skulls housed bigger brains, which could explain why they possessed six senses, allowing for a more sophisticated perception of space and time. Those Who Came Before also had a longer lifespan, and evidence of their passing can be found throughout the planet, not only in the ruins of their lost civilization but also in our own myths and legends.

Indeed, after the Toba catastrophe, the survivors of the First Civilization continued to interact with mankind, influencing many aspects of our societies. We suspect the ancient pantheons – such as the Greek, Roman, Etruscan, Indian and Mesoamerican pantheons, to name a few – were largely influenced by Those Who Came Before. The fact that myths and deities from different cultures share so many similarities only strengthens this hypothesis.

Furthermore, data gathered from Project Legacy and Animus research provides indisputable evidence that beings calling themselves Consus, Juno, Jupiter and Minerva were members of the First Civilization.
