Maybe he’ll take the shard to Tesla and say, “You missed one. Oh, and try to destroy it when I’m not standing right next to it!”

scandals in the russian royalty. bring in the papparazzi!!!

It’s kinda strange that the Assassins would write a letter to Tesla asking him to destroy the staff but also send Nikolai to retrieve it. If they had been forthcoming with him he wouldn’t have used the beam so early and there would be no shard to speak of.

based on what i read in the comic, it was nikolai’s own intention to see that the staff was indeed destroyed, not the assassins’ desire to retrieve it. i am guessing he had this (eagle?) sense that it wasn’t fully destroyed hence his drive to ask the tsar about its whereabouts. what i am more concerned, though, is lenin’s words to him. on the surface, he is asking nikolai to assassinate the tsar, but what if his “dispose this last symbol of imperialism…” bit means more than just the tsar’s status in the eyes of the russian people and more about the staff? does lenin know something about the staff and is this knowledge part or a tool in his plan in pushing forward his dreams for the newly-formed based on what i read in the comic, it was nikolai’s own intention to see that the staff was indeed destroyed, not the assassins’ desire to retrieve it. i am guessing he had this (eagle?) sense that it wasn’t fully destroyed hence his drive to ask the tsar about its whereabouts. what i am more concerned, though, is lenin’s words to him. on the surface, he is asking nikolai to assassinate the tsar, but what if his “dispose this last symbol of imperialism…” bit means more than just the tsar’s status in the eyes of the russian people and more about the staff? does lenin know something about the staff and is this knowledge part or a tool in his plan in pushing forward his dreams for the newly-formed ussr? furthermore, does he know something about the shard? and this is not including stalin and the other leaders in early 20th century russia…
bah… too much theories again…

I wonder if he’s gonna keep it to use it like Altair
LooneyTexan said on July 5, 2012
we just might find that out in the next comic?
Al said on July 5, 2012
Oooooh! And it seems he didn’t pass it on to any of his descendents either. Abstergo don’t seem like the type to go chasing after one speck but for some reason it means so much to the Assassins because it prompted them to take Daniel in (which Abstergo used to their advantage and allowed Daniel to be so valuable). I need to read them again to confirm this but I think Bill Miles’ records was only aware that Nikolai made off with the shard but not what he did with it.
They might pull off some sorta manchurian candidate thingy where the shard is implanted inside Daniel.

if the shard was used to seduce the tsarina, if the assassins used it the way altair did with the apple, they are just gonna be finding new and exciting ways to y’know.. procreate.
Al said on July 5, 2012
They’ll be procreating new ideas for UbiWorkshop products. That’s probabaly what you meant. :o

Exactly. And seducing us with all the way cool stuff that we are unable to resist and shed our hard earned money for all those guilty pleasures.
