** There's an answer in Fridge Brilliance, which more or less states it's because [[spoiler: Edward didn't have any of his armor or health bonuses and was protecting his wife and son--which means he was extra vulnerable]]. You could also argue that, like professional athletes, he'd done a number on his body with all the fighting and rum catching up to him. Which would be a case of SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome more than anything else.

** First Civilization tech has been shown remotely interacting with human brains as far back as the first game, with the Apples of Eden being used to alter the perceptions of their victims. The Observatory presumably works using similar principles, just over much larger distances and for the purpose of receiving rather than transmitting information.

** Don't forget the Observatory would have originally been built way back in the ancient civilization's prime. It was likely a way to monitor their hordes of lab grown humans which they could easily have gotten DNA from birth.

** He probably does have some plan for it. He said that he wanted to release Juno but he was born too early. Bear in mind that the Observatory contains Crystal Vials of First Civilization beings which go missing at the end, presumably Roberts hid it somewhere. It's likely, that he was searching for Juno's blood vial to find where her tomb is...but was limited by his very human body to do much and he somehow seems to have caught on that Edward(through his descendants) will do what he wanted to do anyway.

[[folder:ISU Blood Cubes at the Observatory]]
*The first time Edward and Roberts enter the observatory, they pass rows of cubes on the walls implied, if not stated, to contain 75,000 year old ISU blood samples. The next time Edward enters the observatory at the end of the game all the cubes are gone. What happened to them? It seems unlikely the Templars would have taken them since they were more interesting in going deeper into the Temple when they arrived and Roberts didn't seem to care much for Blood Samples for people who were dead, outright calling them useless(so it's unlikely he would bother to go through the trouble of disposing of them).

[[folder: What exactly is the point of the observatory and how the heck does it work?]]
*Obviously it's meant to allow covert surveillance on people when you plug their blood into it, but you need a sample of their blood in the first place which seems like it would be harder then just tracking them any number of other ways. The fact only one person can be watched at a given time and it's rather remote location all seem to make it rather less useful then it really could be. Besides, it seems like the ISU could come up with more efficient ways to keep an eye on people given their tech level, which is what one presumes it was meant for?
*On a similar note, how plugging someone's blood into the thing allow watching them in real time work anyway? The genetic memory thing kinda makes sense(for very loose definitions of the term) because the animus is presumably reading something that's written and encoded already, but "Have Blood=See Blood Donor at this moment" comes across basically sympathetic magic.
