EXTRAS: DDS - E-mails received by the Recruits
The Data Dump Scanner, the machine on which Project Legacy was based, was supported by an e-mail system through which the Recruits received questions in the form of questionnaire and, depending on the entered answers, they received answers from Abstergo or Erudito.
HISTORY SURVEY

| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Your answer to "HISTORY" |
In the quiz, we stated: "History is accurate."
You responded: "Historians pride themselves on unbiased accuracy."
Certainly many historians strive for accuracy, but how can we put faith in documents written before we were born? How can we trust that personal opinion and prejudice has been removed from the material? This is why you are so important to our project. By reliving actual memories, you will help us uncover the truth. Together, our team will rewrite history.

You responded: "History is only as accurate as the author of the book."
What if you could meet the author of the book? Observe a battle from either side? This is why you are so important to our project. By reliving actual memories, you will help us uncover the truth. Together, our team will rewrite history.

ANCESTRY SURVEY
--------------------------------------------------
ANSWER 1
| From: | Erudito |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | You need to start playing it safe |
| Careful... I'm all for sticking it to Abstergo, but open defiance will get you cut off.
|
ANSWER 2
(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the statement "I have Italian ancestors." by offering Abstergo a list of your documented genealogy.)
| From: | Erudito |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Yes, there are wrong answers |
| You offered Abstergo a list of your ancestors? I'd avoid sending them that list, if I were you. Haven't you wondered where they farm memories for the DDS?
|
ANSWER 3
| From: | Abstergo Industries |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Your answer to "ANCESTRY" |
In the quiz, we stated: "I have Italian ancestors."
You responded: "I have never researched my genealogy."
We can help you. If you visit the Abstergo offices in your area, our colleagues will provide you with a quick and relatively painless genetic test. As we are currently proving, each person contains valuable knowledge passed along through genetic memory. Perhaps you even hold within you answers to some of history's greatest mysteries.
|
ANSWER 3
| From: | Abstergo Industries |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Your answer to "ANCESTRY" |
In the quiz, we stated: "I have Italian ancestors."
You responded: "Not that I know of."
Perhaps it's something you should research. As we are currently proving, each person contains valuable knowledge passed along through genetic memory. Perhaps you even hold within you answers to some of history's greatest mysteries.

INFLUENCE SURVEY
--------------------------------------------------
ANSWER 1
| From: | Abstergo Industries |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Your answer to "INFLUENCE" |
In the quiz, we stated: "People are easily manipulated."
You responded: "History has proven that statement time and again."
Correct. As you explore the DDS, you will confirm it to be a constant historical truth. Understanding this offers a more realistic view of the world today. Why does "manipulate" need to have such a negative connotation? Why can't the followers follow the great into greatness?
|
ANSWER 2
(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "INFLUENCE" question by saying that if they suspect you of being easily manipulated, then they are wrong.)
| From: | Erudito |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | You'd be surprised... |
| Are you sure you're not being manipulated? None of us are free from the influence of others. You just need to make sure you're listening to the right ones.
|
ANSWER 3
(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "INFLUENCE" question by saying that you generally get what you want from people.)
| From: | Erudito |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | You won't impress them |
| You say you generally get what you want from people. That's a confident statement, almost a challenge. You may believe Abstergo is looking for such confidence. No. They're looking for servants.
|
ANSWER 4
(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "INFLUENCE" question by saying that you are not good at manipulating people.)
| From: | Erudito |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Well played? |
| Are you really a poor manipulator or did you just answer that way to deceive Abstergo? Either way, you're flying below the radar, which is a good thing.

EMPATHY SURVEY
--------------------------------------------------
ANSWER 1
(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "EMPATHY" question with "Whose side do you want me to take?")
| From: | Erudito |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Hello? |
| Seriously? You asked them which side to take? Either you're making fun of them (not wise) or they owe you an "Abstergo's #1 Buttkisser" mug for your desk.
|
ANSWER 2
(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "EMPATHY" question with "Whose side do you want me to take?")
| From: | Abstergo Industries |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Your answer to "EMPATHY" |
In the quiz, we stated: "You find yourself taking the side of the subject in each memory."
You responded: "It depends on the subject."
It's only natural you'd empathize with the subjects behind the memories and those with a stronger synch will be harder to resist. You're viewing the events through one perspective, one that is often convinced it is doing the right thing. I wonder how you would feel if we sent you the memories of that same subject's rival for review.
|
ANSWER 3
(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the "EMPATHY" question with "Whose side do you want me to take?")
| From: | Abstergo Industries |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Your answer to "EMPATHY" |
In the quiz, we stated: "You find yourself taking the side of the subject in each memory."
You responded: "It's hard to see both sides of the story."
An astute observation. It's rare to find a memory where the subject cannot wholeheartedly justify his actions. DDS users are easily influenced by the induced fugue state, but your clear vision is impressive.
|
ANSWER 4
| From: | Abstergo Industries |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Your answer to "EMPATHY" |
In the quiz, we stated: "You find yourself taking the side of the subject in each memory."
You responded: "No. I'm simply observing their actions. I don't empathize."
It's interesting that you do not feel any empathy during your memory reviews. Your file tells us you passed our test criteria to ensure a solid link with the DDS, so the synchronization should be making an impact. I will forward your report to our engineers to see if we can increase the signal strength.

INTRUDER SURVEY
--------------------------------------------------
ANSWER 1
(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the question "What do you know about Erudito?" with "Erudito?". Erudito is pleased that you pretended not to know about them.)
| From: | Erudito |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | No subject |
| :)
|
ANSWER 2
| From: | Abstergo Industries |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Your answer to "INTRUDER" |
In the quiz, we asked: "What do you know about Erudito?"
You responded: "He seems to know an awful lot about your subject matter."
First, we must stress the dangers of associating with outside connections that force their way into the DDS system. Not only do you risk termination of your contract with us, but you may force us to pursue legal options. You have been a tremendous asset to our program, but you must understand that contact with this "Erudito" user will not be tolerated.
|
ANSWER 3
| From: | Abstergo Industries |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Your answer to "INTRUDER" |
In the quiz, we asked: "What do you know about Erudito?"
You responded: "You can follow up through email. I am willing to submit a full report if you request one."
Thank you for your offer to file a report on "Erudito." Please be thorough. If we can track his patterns, we can begin to block his access to the DDS system and continue our work without further interruptions.
|
ANSWER 4
(Note: The following message is sent after responding to the question "What do you know about Erudito?" with "I've already filed a full report on him.")
| From: | Erudito |
| To: | Abstergo Recruit |
| Date/Time: | Relative |
| Subject: | Someone's been naughty... |
| You reported me? That stings. Not that it really matters... I am miles ahead of these goons. I'm going to have to work harder to open your eyes, aren't I?
