Still Vikik's plan is stupid. Everything the assassins found out from the Animus could have been descovered by Abstergo's first game methods, probably faster. And keeping Desmond prisoner rather than letting him run around the world and finding the apple himself would let Abstergo not have to worry about an insane hipster with super assassin training and a magic ball that, from what we've seen, can duplicate him and control people's minds. This is a bad plan, and I'm more inclined to think the Templars are idiots who wouldn't notice the girl whose main task is typing is missing a finger than think they have some convoluted plot that couldn't possibly have been approved by superiors, unless they're just as stupid.philosophicalbastard said:She isn't a double agent, she was just manipulated by Vidik. Vidik is using you and the assassins to do all the work for him. I'm sure there is something more to Vidik's plans than just retrieving the apple, it probably has something to do with the aliens (though technically they're not aliens).
This is a powerful, tech centered company. Even if they have religious goals I'd think all the scientists and engineers would point out the glaring idiocy.
PS:Yes they are aliens and they broke the story just as much as the did in indy 4. also, the whole surprise switch out they did making the real pc Desmond instead of Altaïr like everyone thought was disappointing and seemed like they were just trying to find a way to explain how you never really die.
