[+] Doctor Sung speaking.
[-] This is Vidic. How is he doing?
[+] Surprisingly well, actually. Daniel doesn't remember much about Brazil, but the time he spent in the Animus prov—
[-] Yes, I've read your report. What now?
[+] He needs more treatment. And rest.
[-] Don't worry, doctor, we won't send him on assignment. Is he well enough to... Is he presentable?
[+] I've already forwarded my recommendations. Last time you chose to ignor—
[-] Just make sure he doesn't lose it until tomorrow. We'll need him for about two hours. After that he'll be returned to you.
[+] [sigh] Of course. I'll do my best, doctor.
[-] I expect no less.

[-] Vidic
[+] Finally! You know how many messages I left you?
[-] I'm a busy man, Daniel. What do you want?
[+] What do I— Look, it's bad enough you made this bastard a Master behind my back...
[-] We informed you of our decision.
[+] Yeah. And you told me why Rikkin didn't invite me to that meeting... Medical condition my ass.
[sigh] Still, I played nice, went along with it. Welcomed this jerk into the Order... Never said a damn word. Not to you, not to that bitch England.
[-] Daniel.
[+] Shit. I didn't mean it like that. But you sent Berg to Cairo. Trusted him more than me... Hell, this guy is still wet behind the ears. What can he do that I haven't done a million times already?
[-] Daniel, you're the best operative we have, but we can't send you on every mission. I assure you, I have full confidence in your abilities.
[+] Bullshit!
-] Listen to me. I will tell you something none of the others know.
[+] Yeah?
[-] You know why I didn't push for you to go to Cairo?
[+] [silence]
[-] William Miles is of no consequence. He's bait. Nothing more. Truth is, Daniel, I need you to focus on Desmond. He's the one we need. He's the real target.
[+] [sigh] Desmond. Right.
[-] Well, you did promise you would get him back for us.
[+] Yeah. And I will. You know you can count on me.
[-] Haven't I always?

[-] Gavin.
[+] It's Harlan.
[-] I was getting worried. What's the word?
[+] No trace of the Templars. If anyone followed me, I lost them.
[-] Are you at the safe house?
[+] Yeah. As planned. I– [silence]
[-] What's wrong?
[+] Nothing... It's just... Shit, Gavin! I left Adriano behind. He–
[-] He did what he thought was right.
[+] Yeah... Gave his life for the cause and all... It's just... You know what Old Timer did for me... He was more than just a mentor.
[-] Adriano's death is a great loss for the Brotherhood... Hell, the things he knew... The things he saw... But his sacrifice wasn't in vain.
[+] I should've–
[-] Carried him on your shoulders while Templars were shooting at you? [sigh] Adriano was 94 and in a wheelchair. Ordering you to leave was the right thing to do. The only thing to do.
[+] I know, I know. What now?
[-] Go to [[Rotterdam]]. You know the place.
[+] Then what?
[-] Wait for my word. This isn't over.
[+] Right. I'll be ready.
[-] In the meantime, take it easy, kid.

After hearing their claims, Desmond decided to follow Juno's logic, subsequently sacrificing himself to save the world.
