Transcript:

Long ago, the first civilization, or Isu, bragged about their triple-helix DNA and created lesser species, like humans, as interns, I mean slaves. The Isu developed Pieces of Eden, artifacts to control humans but cross-breeding bred humans immune to this power. Adam and Eve stole one such artifact, the Apple of Eden, and the decade-long rebellion only ended when the Toba Catastrophe, a solar flare, devastated both species. Another solar flare, the Second Catastrophe, weakened the Isu's numbers further. Humans recovered, but their gods, the Isu, became extinct.

Fast forward to Ancient Egypt. The Pharaohs tasked the Medjay, an elite Nubian police force to protect valuables, but when Cleopatra and Ptolemy came to power, the Medjay were disbanded. When Cleopatra was exiled, her servant Aya aided her queen despite protests from her husband Bayek, the last Medjay. Meanwhile, Ptolemy the boy king was a puppet for the Order of the Ancients, a secret society seeking Pieces of Eden to control the people. Cleopatra turned to Julius Caesar for help, because that will end well, and Bayek laid the foundations for a certain eagle-eyed brotherhood.

Fast forward to modern day, the Assassin's Brotherhood still opposes Abstergo Industries, the modern Order of the Ancient's and Templar Order. But is Abstergo just a front for a long-dead Isu, Juno, to be revived and seize control? Hop in the way-back-machine or Animus or whatever and...

Have fun!
