in Assassin Creed, the concept of genetic memory exists, meaning that all of the memories of your ancestors are retrievable.

So the Templars (bad guys) kidnap the MC who is a descendant of the Assassins (good guys) and use a machine called the animus to go into his memories and find out where his ancestors hid the Apple of Eden. Which is one of several alien technologies that can be used to control the world.

Now AC2 gets a bit weird but I dont want to spoil/write it up but basically MC is using his ancestors memories to do a 3 day training arc, this is the basic plot but not what happens.

In 1999 X makes a machine that isnt really an Animus but lets us see other people's genetic memory for reasons....why did we go into the past memories again? I honestly dont remember, too glazing Marcus
