[ Welp, guess that's why she was asking about Altaïr. Desmond decides to quickly answer the message, though he has the sinking feeling that this ancestor isn't going to recognize him. ]
You're in a place called Mandalus. These people called the System bring us here to help them fight what they call the Serpent. If we don't kill it here, it'll eventually destroy our home worlds too.
[ Desmond pauses. Time to get the awkward out of the way, he guesses. ] Hey, Altaïr.
[ yeah well he did that ages ago nyah Desmond comes to a stop at the rooftop that runs parallel to the station. He raises his head, peaking around the corner of his own hood and nods to his ancestor. He figures it's probably more familiar to Altaïr if he has a hood up. ]
[ That's... weird to say. He hasn't said it in so long, and it's a custom that has fallen out of fashion since this ancestor's time. He couldn't great him like he would Ezio, after all. The two men are entirely different and think differently. Ezio was family, but that was something he'd have to work to get from Altaïr. Respect first, then maybe that close kind of bond that Desmond already felt with him. ]
[ Desmond comes to stand up beside his ancestor, sighing--really at one point? He's just going to get tired of explaining it all. Maybe. ]
Before I was kidnapped to that other planet, I had a run in with the Templars. They managed to find me and dragged me to one of their headquarters in Italy. [ This is when it's going to get tough, with everything in his modern time. Oh boy. ] They tried to force me to help them find more Pieces of Eden.
I... did what I could. [ Meaning he refused them as much as he could, but there was no way to really break out of Abstergo. Not until Lucy helped. ]
I ended up meeting up with group of them: Lucy, Shaun, Rebecca. We all worked together to find what the Templars were looking for. Lucy helped me bust out of Abstergo and we laid low. Moved from place to place. The Templars in my time? They have control of almost everything. They've been hunting us down and wiping our teams out all over the world.
Then that is the best. [He slowly tilts his head, listens. And it nearly breaks his heart to hear that, because he had hoped that well... that wouldn't happen. ]
You could say that. [ Desmond frowns. Except for the fact where Lucy is dead now; he was in coma; ended up in Aliunde then here. Yeah. ]
I don't really know the details. I grew up off the grid. Somehow the Templars got their hands on information on where we were and started getting rid of us. There's still some of us out there.

What was it you were saying before, with your prior experience?

[THIS IS HIS ONLY INTEREST. Sorry, Desmond.] What happened after that, did you escape, what of other assassins?

What happened to us, why did this happen?
