Plot, cntd:
- Because Horus is not stupid, he immediately puts the training on hold.
- As an added bonus, the Animus is simply playing a loop of that time Horus and Set gave each-other handjobs (No, I’m not kidding. There’s actually a myth that says that! XD). Which keeps Abstergo distracted with the added bonus of entertaining Jeremy.
- Meanwhile, Michael has figured out what tf happened to his boyfriend (and that thought, even now still gives him a little thrill!), cuz Abstergo sent the Assassins a ransom note: the staff and orb for Jeremy.
- The assassins debate back and forth about this, and flat-out refuse to let Michael go, because he’s too close, his emotions will ruin it.
- Eventually, they relent, on the condition that he relinquish his blade and stay in the damn car.
- When Abstergo brings out Jeremy, he reluctantly allows Horus to take over.
- Michael eventually sneaks out of the car to retrieve Jeremy’s gear-which he manages to do completely non lethally and mostly undetected.
- Since Horus is considered the Egyptian God of War, he snatches the Staff and promptly kicks the collective asses of the surrounding templars, using the Orb to keep them from following, before climbing into the car and relinquishing his control. This has the consequences of Jeremy passing out as the Assassins drive away.
And now, a random non plot bit
- Michael’s parents wake up one day to Michael sweeping up the trashed living room.
- M: “I woke up and just… hated EVERYTHING.”
- Translation: “Some idiot(s) broke in. I took care of everything and they won’t be doing it again.”
