[The video clicks on, showing Lucy looking relatively impassive. However, anyone who knows her would know by the slight twitching of her eyebrow that she's actually mentally freaking out]
I don't know how secure this line is, but I've got to risk it. I haven't got the time to make it secure. Desmond, Rebecca, Shaun, if any of you are receiving

No way. That's...that's Lucy! She's here!
Please be aware that it takes him about ten whole minutes to come to this grand conclusion with huge wide eyes and his mouth hanging open but then he's grinning like a crazy person.]
Lucy! Holy shit you're here!

Leeeeeeans over his shoulder to look. ]
Hey, Luc'! Man, we got the whole gang here. AWESOME.

Really, man, you could've waited to turn the video on until after your brain started functioning at a normal pace. However when he finally talks, Lucy smiles a little, despite how uneasy this place is making her]
Yeah. Guess so. I'm glad you're okay.
[OH AND THERE'S REBECCA. Lucy's smile gets a little bigger]
And Rebecca too! So I'm guessing Shaun's here too? That's a relief.

[Well sorry but he was excited to see you after the influx of Italians and a Templar. Clearly this short-circuited his brain.]
And yes, Shaun is here, he's in a different building to us though.

Pardon, madonna, you know of the Templars? [ brow lift. ANOTHER assassin? ] it seems the brotherhood is gathering in droves.

is that Ezio.
No. No way. Lucy checks the computer, is there some kind of feedback? Are they running the Animus somewhere?
...no, this is live.
What the hell.
MAYBE IT'S DESMOND. MAYBE THE BLEEDING EFFECT JUST GOT REALLY REALLY BAD.]
...Uh. Ezio?

Si? and who might you be, signora?

Lucy. Lucy Stillman. I'm, uh. I'm a friend of one of your... relatives.

You know Desmond?
[But, she also mentioned Templars. That was enough to have him looking what he could of her up and down. She must be from Desmond's time with those clothes]
So, does that mean you're an assassin as well?

Still, she automatically hesitates before answering.]
That's right.

Well, that's a relief. I can't say I've ever seen a female assassin before, so this is new. At least not in my time. I've seen a lot stranger as of late, so I won't complain. As long as you're on our side.
[He nods politely at the screen]
I'm Kadar A-Sayf and I'm also an assassin. Well, more of a Novice. But, there are others around this place that are higher ranked than me.

[She gives him a polite smile, inclining her head as well]
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Kadar. I'm Lucy Stillman.

Choose your words carefully. The Brotherhood is not alone here.
[ He doesn't know how much she knows, but she knows Desmond, which makes her assassin enough in Altaïr's mind. But he's guessing that she isn't aware that there is a Templar threat here; at least not yet. So Altaïr is going to offer as kind a warning as he ever does. With a cold tone and a flat stare through the monitor. ]

However, at his words, she goes serious, staring cautiously back at the monitor.]
How many?
[She wants names and locations too but she's also now more aware that they really could be being watched. And just thinking of who it might be makes her blood run cold]
Reply
When she grows serious, Altaïr considers that she might actually have a head on her shoulders, unlike what he has seen with Desmond and his other companions thus far.
Altaïr turns his face away for a moment, silent as he carefully considers his words. ]
Just one. A woman. She claims to know me.
[ This, he figured, was safe enough to say. Seeing as it seemed to be common knowledge by everyone else. His eyes settle back on her once more, dark from where they sit beneath his hood, but it is more than clear they are heavy upon her.
As if weighing her true worth. ]

I would suppose... if it's possible for you, Ezio, and Desmond to all exist here, it's entirely likely there'd be people from your direct future you yourself may have yet to encounter.
This... could be a problem.
