'''Stop the Presses''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Desmond Miles]] in 2012 through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
Having emerged from [[Boston]]'s tunnels, Connor followed [[Samuel Adams]] to the [[Printers|printer]], to prevent the latter from making more [[wanted posters]] of him.

==Dialogue==
Connor met Adams in the printer's shop.
*'''Printer:''' ''You ask a great deal of me, Sam.''
*'''Adams:''' ''I know... But I wouldn't be here if it wasn't important. If it wasn't vital.''
*'''Printer:''' ''Fine. Just this once, though. In the future, such things will come at a price. Resetting the type is neither quick nor easy. To say nothing of the cost should I be discovered...''
*'''Adams:''' ''I shall not forget this kindness.''
*'''Printer:''' ''Nor I.''
*'''Adams:''' ''His work will see your last little bit of notoriety erased. Come – I'll show you how to leave now that order's been restored.''

Adams and Connor made their way to the harbor.
*'''Adams:''' ''So now you've had a chance to see how it all works. Untoward actions will upset the [[Civilians|citizens]] and inevitably lead to the [[guards]] being called. Depending on the severity of your transgression, they may simply search a bit before giving up and returning to their posts. But should you offend them severely or repeatedly – they'll become much more aggressive in their pursuit. I've shown you three ways to turn the tide. Remove wanted posters, bribe [[town criers]], or visit a printer to create your own propaganda.''
*'''Connor:''' ''This feels wrong. Why not just speak to someone and explain my innocence?''
*'''Adams:''' ''You can't be serious?''
*'''Connor:''' ''We counter one lie with another. Words on paper instantly taken as truth. And all of it without question.''
*'''Adams:''' ''THEY loosed this beast! Or have you forgotten? I merely helped you tame and turn it 'round.''
*'''Connor:''' ''There must be another way. Something more honest.''
*'''Adams:''' ''Well, when you find it, let me know. But until then, we sculpt with the clay we have!''
*'''Connor:''' ''My apologies. I do not mean to sound ungrateful.''
*'''Adams:''' ''Quite alright. I was much the same at your age. You'll grow out of it in time.''
*'''Connor:''' ''And if I do not? If I refuse?''
*'''Adams:''' ''Then you'll likely wind up dead.''

They reached the docks.
*'''Adams:''' ''Here we are. Speak with the [[Harbormasters|harbormaster]] and he'll see you home.''
*'''Connor:''' ''Thank you for everything, Sam. I promise one day to repay the favor.''
*'''Adams:''' ''Oh, I'm counting on it.''
Connor held out his hand.
*'''Connor:''' ''Like this?''
Connor and Adams then shook hands.

==Outcome==
Connor's [[Social Stealth#Colonial America|notoriety]] had been nullified, allowing him to leave Boston and travel back to the [[Davenport Homestead]].
