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。
当圣伯尔纳铎出现时，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
As we were struggling to bring civilization out of the Dark Ages, the Assassins – ever envious of our power and knowledge – managed to infiltrate our ranks and cause dissention among our leaders. Using lies, treachery and murder, our enemies shook the very foundation of our Order. By the end of the 13th century, we had been greatly weakened by the Brotherhood. To make things worse, we now had to face a new foe in King Philip le Bel. Unknowingly serving the cause of the Assassins, who manipulated him to conspire against us, King Philip made the Templars heretics in the eyes of the Church, thus turning our own Sword against us.
It was time to go back into hiding.
Jacques de Molay, the last publicly recognized Grand Master, understood our noble ideals would not survive unless the Templars were officially disbanded. He knew the Order was more important than any one man and he made the ultimate sacrifice. Jacques de Molay let himself be burned at the stake, not only to save the lives of his fellow brothers and their allies, but also to mislead our enemies into believing that the Order would die along with him.
Shortly before his death, however, the Grand Master selected nine of his most trusted men and, armed with the knowledge of the Ancients, sent them out into the world. From this day forth, the Templars would follow their magnanimous ambitions in the shadows of history's most influential figures, thus ensuring that our ideals would endure throughout the ages.

Despite state of the art computer security, a menace calling itself Erudito has managed to hack into our systems on several occasions, as we have seen from the Project Legacy incident.
It is unclear whether Erudito is a person or a group, but evidence suggests it is a number of individuals working independently, but who share a common purpose: to expose our secret agenda. Whether this Erudito Collective is in collusion with the Assassin Brotherhood or not remains unclear. However, knowingly or not, the actions of the Collective undoubtedly serve the cause of the Assassins.
文件.0.08\项目_Animus
Under the leadership of Dr. Warren Vidic, the Animus Project is rooted in the study of various fields, such as psychology, genetics and even metaphysics. As we know at Abstergo, works that once qualified as occult and hermetic were often concrete scientific breakthroughs misunderstood by a society blinded by superstition.
Modern science allowed us to understand the true potential of "genetic memories" locked inside our DNA. With the Animus device, we are now able to fully explore the genetic memories of our Animus subjects, allowing them to dig into their past, like archaeologists lifting stones.
However, this has not always been the case. At the onset of the project, we depended on psychoanalysis, hypnosis, as well as various chemical compounds to place our subjects in the desired state of mind, sometimes going as far to trigger schizophrenia-like states. Fortunately, the Animus has evolved over the years, and the safety of our subjects is no longer a concern.
Soon, thanks to initiatives such as the Animus Project, scientists will no longer dispute theories such as Jung's collective unconsciousness, Russian cosmism and László's A-Field.

Abstergo is a public company. As such, it has its own corporate charter. Behind this public face, however, lies the Order of the Knights Templar. While closely linked, there are major differences between the corporation and the Order. Abstergo is the Templars' public front, but not all of its employees are aware of the Order's existence. In fact, the great majority of those who work at Abstergo, including most of our scientists, engineers and CEOs, are, quite simply, employees. They do not suspect the Order exists, nor are they aware of the true purpose behind most of our work.
Inevitably, some Abstergo employees are also part of our secret organization. Dr. Warren Vidic, for example, is a senior member of the Order.
To learn more about Abstergo's public objectives, operations and structure, please consult our Corporate Charter.

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.
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.

The main goal of Abstergo's 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.
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.
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.
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". 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", as a result of time spent in the Animus.
This subject and others like him are highly valuable, for their genetic material might hold the key to better understanding mankind's origins.

文件.0.11b\项目_实验体4号
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 Incident as well as events that led to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution – and most importantly the activities of the Assassin Brotherhood during these tumultuous times.
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.
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.
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.
In conclusion, Subject 4, Daniel Cross, is a true hero.
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.

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.
