'''Honour and Loyalty''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Shay Cormac]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] stored in the [[Helix]], relived by a [[Helix research analyst|research analyst]] through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
Shay discovered Colonel [[George Monro|Monro]] was in trouble and decided to come to his friend's aid.

==Dialogue==
Idling in his captain's cabin while the ''[[Morrigan]]'' sailed in the [[Atlantic Ocean|North Atlantic]], Shay came upon an unknown package on his desk. He opened it and realized it was the [[Voynich manuscript|manuscript]] he had thought lost, accompanied by a sealed letter.
*'''Shay:''' ''From the Colonel...''
Shay read the letter.
*'''Monro:''' ''Dear Master Cormac, my apologies for the brevity of this missive, but it is time we were honest with one another. You have demonstrated your loyalty and resourcefulness to the [[Templars|Templar]] cause, and this despite (and perhaps because of) your [[Assassins|Assassin]] origins. The Manuscript the Assassins sought has been in my possession for some time. I reclaimed it when my men found you marooned. The [[Grand Master]] himself charged me to discover its meaning, a task I regret I have failed to complete. I leave it in your charge, Master Cormac. There is no one else I trust more. Now I leave for [[Fort William Henry]], an ill-prepared garrison surrounded by hostile natives and the [[French Army]]. We have requested reinforcements, but I doubt they will be forthcoming. I have no illusions that our resistance will be successful. I commit my life to the [[British Army]], and my soul to the [[Father of Understanding]]. Yours, Colonel George Monro.''
Shay left his cabin and took the helm.
*'''Shay:''' ''Man your post, [[Christopher Gist|Gist]]! The Colonel's in trouble.''
*'''Gist:''' ''How do you mean 'in trouble'?''
*'''Shay:''' ''He's at [[Forts|Fort]] William Henry, facing impossible odds.''
*'''Gist:''' ''Get off your lazy arses, lads! And man your stations! We raise anchor! Sorry for the early libation, Captain. But do you realize it has been a year since we met? A whole year! Change my life, you did... And for the better! You will forgive me if I have been, er, celebrating without you.''
[[File:Honour And Loyalty 1.png|thumb|250px|Shay sailing for Marais Rocheux]]
*'''Shay:''' ''A whole year... Gist, I've a question for you. How long have you known of my, well, former allegiance?''
*'''Gist:''' ''Oh, you mean the Assassins? I knew that ages ago, Shay! I may be drunk, but I'm not blind. Or did you think I would assume you had escaped from some homicidal circus?''
*'''Shay:''' ''Why didn't you say anything?''
*'''Gist:''' ''Well, the Colonel wanted us to avoid the subject so it wouldn't, you know, influence your decision-making. You saved my life out of pure selfless instinct, and helped countless others besides. If it were up to me, I would have made you an official Templar months ago.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Who's it up to then? Monro mentioned a Grand Master...''
*'''Gist:''' ''Oh yes. The [[Haytham Kenway|Grand Master]] of the [[Colonial Rite of the Templar Order|Colonial Rite]]. You'd like him, Shay. His [[Edward Kenway|father]] was an Assassin.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Really... He must have a story to tell.''
*'''Gist:''' ''What is the news from Fort William Henry?''
*'''Shay:''' ''The garrison is surrounded and reinforcements are late.''
*'''Gist:''' ''General [[Louis-Joseph de Montcalm|Montcalm]] has been blazing a path across the [[United States|Colonies]] for King [[Louis XV of France|Louis]], hasn't he?''
*'''Shay:''' ''I rather wish he'd stayed home with his mistress.''
*'''Gist:''' ''His or King Louis'?''
*'''Shay:''' ''Either! Though I suspect the King's is finer.''
*'''Gist:''' ''Indeed, Madame {{Wiki|Marie-Louise O'Murphy|O'Murphy}} is supposed to be quite the charmer.''
*'''Shay:''' ''An O'Murphy is in the [[France|French]] King's bed? Now I know you're pulling my leg...''
Shay sailed to [[Marais Rocheux]], where he met with [[Jack Weeks]].
[[File:Honour And Loyalty 2.png|thumb|250px|Shay meeting with Weeks]]
*'''Weeks:''' ''Shay! You are a sight for sore eyes!''
*'''Shay:''' ''Jack?''
*'''Weeks:''' ''Colonel Monro surrendered to General Montcalm. The French and their [[Abenaki]] allies took Fort Henry. [[William Johnson|Johnson]] was supposed to bring reinforcements here...''
*'''Shay:''' ''I don't see anyone else.''
*'''Weeks:''' ''The Abenaki are restless. They don't understand the terms of surrender and refuse to heed Montcalm. The Colonel and his men were released this morning. They're walking into an ambush...''
*'''Shay:''' ''Wait here, in case Johnson arrives. I'll- I'll protect the Colonel.''
*'''Weeks:''' ''Thank you.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Maybe, I can finally repay my debt to him.''
Shay set out to locate Colonel Monro.
*'''Shay:''' ''I hope I'm not too late!''
Shay dispatched several [[stalkers]], and eventually found Colonel Monro and his men in the midst of an attack from the Abenaki.
*'''Soldiers:''' ''Take that! Death to our enemies! Rrrrraaaahhh!''
*'''Monro:''' ''Good work, men. Man your positions!''
With the help of Shay, Monro and his troops managed to defeat their attackers.
[[File:Honour And Loyalty 4.png|thumb|250px|Shay escorting Monro and his men]]
*'''Soldier:''' ''That's the last of them.''
*'''Monro:''' ''Master Cormac?!''
*'''Shay:''' ''Sir, we must hurry. We should bring what's left of your men to the Morrigan.''
*'''Monro:''' ''A welcome offer, Captain Cormac. Follow me! Safe passage is ahead.''
*'''Shay:''' ''So if you don't mind me asking, what happened at Fort William Henry?''
*'''Monro:''' ''Poor planning and poorer luck, I am afraid. Montcalm was able to bombard us for days.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Damn frog.''
*'''Monro:''' ''Actually, he acted with great honor. When we sent for parlay, he returned an offer far more generous than anticipated. We kept our arms, and more importantly, our colors.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Only to walk into a trap.''
*'''Monro:''' ''I would hardly expect the French to defend us. Would you?''
*'''Shay:''' ''No, I wouldn't.''
*'''Monro:''' ''You continue to prove your loyalty to the Templars, Master Cormac. Risking your life for me...''
*'''Shay:''' ''We're not out of the woods yet, Colonel. As for my loyalty... Well, I do owe you, don't I? You... saved my life... gave me a second chance.''
*'''Monro:''' ''We have been working together for a year now. During that time you have rendered many great services. Whatever debt you imagine you have towards me is paid, wouldn't you say?''
*'''Shay:''' ''Perhaps...''
High upon a cliff, [[Kesegowaase]] appeared, ready to attack Colonel Monro's remaining troops.
[[File:Honour And Loyalty 5.png|thumb|250px|Kesegowaase ordering his men to attack]]
*'''Kesegowaase:''' ''You live!? Attack!''
*'''Shay:''' ''Take cover!''
The group was ambushed by Kesegowaase's men.
*'''Monro:''' ''Keep together, men!''
*'''Shay:''' ''I'll take out as many as I can.''
Colonel Monro's men proved victorious.
*'''Shay:''' ''Alright, Colonel. Keep your men moving. I'll scout ahead and signal if there's trouble.''
*'''Monro:''' ''A sensible strategy. Very well, I will lead my men around slowly.''
Shay cleared the area of [[snipers]] intending to ambush his allies, before returning to Colonel Monro.
*'''Shay:''' ''Hurry! Kesegowaase will not relent.''
*'''Monro:''' ''Kesegowaase? You know this man, Master Cormac.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Aye, Colonel. He is one of [[Achilles Davenport|Achilles]]' men. An Assassin... as I was.''
*'''Monro:''' ''So they know I am a Templar. And now this Assassin knows you live.''
*'''Shay:''' ''And work with Templars. I'm no fool, Colonel. The Assassins will come after me next. We're both targets now.''
The group reached a narrow pass that lead to the river, where the ''Morrigan'' was docked.
*'''Shay:''' ''You know that's a trap, right?''
*'''Monro:''' ''Indeed, Master Cormac. But we have little choice. We survived the French cannons, we will survive this. This way! Come, follow me. Make haste!''
Shay took out the snipers as Monro and his troops ran through the pass. He followed after them and reached his [[Ships|ship]], but found Kesegowaase and his allies to be close behind.
*'''Shay:''' ''Loose the sails!''
*'''Gist:''' ''You heard the Captain, men! Let's get out of here! Move! Move!''
*'''Weeks:''' ''Shay! Mmmrrraaaaah!''
[[File:Honour And Loyalty 10.png|thumb|250px|Weeks speaking with Monro]]
Weeks threw a barrel of gunpowder overboard, which landed at the feet of Kesegowaase. Reacting quickly, Shay shot the barrel, causing it to explode and severely wound his former teacher.
*'''Monro:''' ''I owe you my life, Master Cormac.''
*'''Shay:''' ''As do I, Colonel.''
*'''Monro:''' ''We have much to discuss. However, I must tend to my troops.''
*'''Weeks:''' ''Sir. I will accompany you to Johnson's trading post at {{Wiki|Onaquaga}}.''
*'''Monro:''' ''Then I shall depart at once. Master Cormac, meet me there.''

==Outcome==
Shay safely escorted Colonel Monro and his men through an Abenaki ambush site, but his presence was discovered by Kesegowaase.

'''Circumstances''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Shay Cormac]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] stored in the [[Helix]], relived by a [[Helix research analyst|research analyst]] through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
Shay and [[Christopher Gist]] reunited with Colonel [[George Monro]] in [[Albany]].

==Dialogue==
Shay and Gist were sailing in the [[River Valley]].
*'''Gist:''' ''The Colonel waits in Albany... I wonder what he has in mind for us to do next.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Us? I thought you just wanted to check in with Monro, not sign me up for the [[British Army|army]].''
*'''Gist:''' ''Not at all, Shay! But I admire the Colonel's ideals and want to make them happen.''
*'''Shay:''' ''What kind of ideals?''
*'''Gist:''' ''Secure borders, prosperous farms, fair trade... We need those in these wretched [[United States|colonies]].''
*'''Shay:''' ''Sounds like a high-minded utopia.''
*'''Gist:''' ''It rather does! Want to help make it happen?''
*'''Shay:''' ''Colonel Monro is an intriguing man, and he certainly seems honorable. We'll head for Albany. After that, I'll see.''
*'''Gist:''' ''Splendid! Full sail ahead, lads!''
The pair reached Albany, where Monro waited at the docks.
*'''Monro:''' ''In good health, I see?''
*'''Gist:''' ''Ehh, thanks to the Captain here.''
*'''Monro:''' ''<nowiki>'</nowiki>Tis a fine [[Ships|vessel]], Master Cormac.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Thank you, Colonel Monro.''
*'''Monro:''' ''Master Gist, did you learn more about our [[Assassins|conspirators]] and their new weapons?''
*'''Gist:''' ''Only that their base of operations is a [[France|French]] [[Forts|fort]] further downriver.''
*'''Shay:''' ''It's a little close for comfort, isn't it?''
*'''Monro:''' ''If the French have installed a fort in our territory, they are likely preparing an assault. [[New York City|New York]] could burn. Will you join us, Master Cormac?''
*'''Shay:''' ''Aye. Enough innocents have died already.''
*'''Gist:''' ''Might I suggest we improve our vessel? The [[Morrigan]] is good, but with a few more supplies, she could be unstoppable. And, there's a French outpost nearby I happen to know...''
*'''Shay:''' ''I like the sound of that.''
Shay, Gist and Monro set sail for [[Vallée Verte]], a nearby outpost.
[[File:Circumstances 3.png|thumb|250px|Shay sailing for the outpost]]
*'''Shay:''' ''What sort of business are the French up to there? Just occupying the territory?''
*'''Monro:''' ''It is an economic incursion more than a geographical one. Some of the [[Gangs|ruffians]] are sponsored by enemies of the colonies. They intend to undermine local authorities.''
*'''Gist:''' ''I've heard they steal from [[civilians]] and resell essential goods for ten times the price..''
*'''Shay:''' ''It's always the little fellow who gets skinned. Colonel, you and Gist here seem inspired. Is there something in the water, or in the whiskey?''
*'''Monro:''' ''Now why do you say that, Master Cormac?''
*'''Gist:''' ''I think Shay here is skeptical about our intentions towards our fellow man.''
*'''Monro:''' ''I understand, but there is no need. I simply want these colonies to be a place of safety, development, and purpose.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Funny, I thought rich men wanted them to be a place of profit.''
*'''Monro:''' ''I am not a rich man, Master Cormac... Money is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself.''
*'''Gist:''' ''Says you. I think it's a fine end to a game of cards.''
They arrived at Vallée Verte, with Shay disembarking to steal supplies from the settlement's warehouse.
*'''[[Guards|Guard]] 1:''' ''(What was that?)''
*'''Guard 2:''' ''(Just your imagination.)''
*'''Guard 3:''' ''(So I signed up for another year.)''
*'''Guard 4:''' ''(Really? Well- wait, what was that?)''
*'''Guard 5:''' ''(Did you hear something?)''
*'''Guard 6:''' ''(I think it's over there.)''
[[File:Circumstances 4.png|thumb|250px|Shay opening the warehouse]]
After procuring the supplies, Shay returned to the ''Morrigan''.
*'''Gist:''' ''Good show, Shay! Now let's use those materials to give the Morrigan more firepower. We will need more powerful guns before we approach that fort. Go to your cabin to arrange the work.''
Shay upgraded the ''Morrigan'', adding a mortar to her arsenal.
*'''Gist:''' ''Splendid! That fort and her defenders will tremble before the Morrigan!''
Shay took the helm, setting a course for [[Fort La Croix]].
*'''Monro:''' ''Your ship is in fine form, Master Cormac. That fort should offer little resistance.''
*'''Gist:''' ''I rather hope the frogs offer some, else this will be a dully day.''
*'''Monro:''' ''Never wish for battle, Master Gist. There is plenty around here for any of our lifetimes.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Besides, if we find the fort's commander, the French will surrender, no?''
*'''Monro:''' ''Indeed, that is a sensible strategy. But we will have to wear down the fort's defenses first. Otherwise they will just dig in like a wounded bear.''
The trio reached the fort.
*'''Gist:''' ''There's our target, Shay! Knock her down like a game of nine pins.''
*'''Monro:''' ''Begin by hitting her towers.''
*'''Gist:''' ''As the Colonel says!''
Shay succeeded in taking down the fort's defenses, following which he went ashore.
*'''Gist:''' ''Superb! Now find the fort commander!''
[[File:Circumstances 7.png|thumb|250px|Shay confronting Le Chasseur]]
Shay infiltrated the fort, took out the lookouts and then entered the war room.
*'''Shay:''' ''[[Le Chasseur]]...''
*'''Le Chasseur:''' ''Shay! It has been so long. Were you on a special mission?''
*'''Shay:''' ''Yes, from [[Achilles Davenport|Achilles]].''
*'''Le Chasseur:''' ''How interesting! So am I.''
Le Chasseur unsheathed his sword and attacked Shay.
*'''Shay:''' ''Don't make me do this, Le Chasseur!''
*'''Le Chasseur:''' ''Do what, assassinate me? I thought that was your specialty.''
*'''Shay:''' ''We could both just leave.''
*'''Le Chasseur:''' ''Ah, but then I would tell your Brothers that you are still alive. You have to kill me, Shay.''
Using objects in the room to injure Le Chasseur, Shay defeated his former ally.
*'''Le Chasseur:''' ''You were always good at your business, Shay.''
*'''Shay:''' ''As were you. Tell me, what are you doing inland?''
*'''Le Chasseur:''' ''Special weapons... Poisoneous gases to use against colonial authorities. I am merely a delivery man.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Then may your final delivery be swift.''
With Le Chasseur's death, the [[United Kingdom|British]] were able to take over Fort La Croix.
*'''Shay:''' ''Le Chasseur was right... I- I had no other choice. If the Assassins find out I'm alive, they'll come after me.''
Shay returned to the ''[[Morrigan]]''.
[[File:Circumstances 12.png|thumb|250px|Gist telling Shay about the commandeered naval maps]]
*'''Gist:''' ''While you were busy taking down that fort, I happened to stumble upon the treasury.''
*'''Shay:''' ''You don't say...''
*'''Gist:''' ''It was the damndest thing... Well, in any case, amongst other things I found map and charts detailing various French trade routes.''
*'''Shay:''' ''What are you thinking, Gist?''
*'''Gist:''' ''I thought perhaps we could use them to, er, help the [[Royal Navy]]... and fill our pockets. I stored these maps in your cabin, Captain, should you wish to use them.''
Shay accessed his fleet and sent a ship to [[Louisiana]], before returning to Gist.
*'''Gist:''' ''The Colonel thanks you and congratulates you, Shay. He has returned to New York. But, you look troubled.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Do- Do you ever wonder if you're doing the right thing, Gist? If you chose the right path?''
*'''Gist:''' ''Ah, I used to, my young friend, but not anymore. Not since I met the Colonel... And what's to question? The French are entrenched in our territory. It's about time we root them out!''
*'''Shay:''' ''Of course, you're right, Gist. Let's head back to New York.''
*'''Gist:''' ''Aye, Captain.''

==Outcome==
Shay captured Fort La Croix and assassinated Le Chasseur, purging the region of the Assassin influence.

== Trivia ==
* It is possible to kill Le Chasseur in other ways than dueling him, the fastest option is 1) using a throwing knife against him which would instantly kill him 2) shooting him with firearms.or 3) Throw the rope dart so he'll fall down, and then kill him when he's on the floor with the hidden blade/ sword and dagger

'''Freewill''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Shay Cormac]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] stored in the [[Helix]], relived by a [[Helix research analyst|research analyst]] through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
Following the disaster in [[Lisbon]], Shay went to confront his [[Mentor]] at the [[Davenport Homestead|Homestead]].

==Dialogue==
*'''Shay:''' ''So what's the next city you want me to smite?! What [[1751 Port-au-Prince earthquake|happened]] in [[Haiti]] happened in [[Portugal]]. A great [[1755 Lisbon earthquake|earthquake]]. Thousands dead, thanks to your damned [[Voynich manuscript|Manuscript]]!''
[[Hope Jensen|Hope]] intervened, putting herself between Shay and her Mentor.
*'''Achilles:''' ''This cannot be.''
*'''Hope:''' ''Shay, a person cannot start an earthquake.''
*'''Shay:''' ''A person meddling with these [[Isu|Precursor]] machines could. You saw the [[Precursor boxes|Box]], Hope. The [[Lisbon Temple|Temple]] was filled to bursting with that kind of power. You made me SLAUGHTER INNOCENTS!''
*'''Hope:''' ''How dare you!''
*'''Shay:''' ''You defend him? [[Achilles Davenport|Achilles]] sent me in there like [[François Mackandal|Mackandal]] sent his [[Vendredi|man]] in Haiti. He knew.''
[[Liam O'Brien|Liam]] entered the room and helped Hope with restraining Shay.
*'''Liam:''' ''What the hell's going on? Stop this!''
*'''Achilles:''' ''The operation was delicate, perhaps you-''
*'''Shay:''' ''You are shifting the earth itself. Who are you to decide what city falls next?''
*'''Achilles:''' ''Get him out of here.''
Later that day, Shay mulled over the events at a campfire.
[[File:Freewill 4.png|thumb|250px|Shay contemplating his next move]]
*'''Shay:''' ''Liam is a fool if he thinks I'll leave this be. Achilles cannot be trusted. He must never find another Precursor Temple. I don't care that he's Mentor, or that his family is dead. There's no excuse for this level of madness!''
Having made up his mind, Shay made his way towards the manor.
*'''Shay:''' ''Only one thing to do.''
Shay entered the manor and went upstairs to steal the Manuscript, which was kept in a locked drawer.
*'''Shay:''' ''There's no turning back now...''
Using his [[Hidden Blade]], he broke open the lock and procured the document, though he was discovered by Achilles.
*'''Achilles:''' ''I had such hopes for you, Shay.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Achilles. I have to do this.''
*'''Achilles:''' ''And what is it you're doing exactly? Stealing from your [[Assassins|Brothers]]? Betraying me?''
*'''Shay:''' ''Someone must make amends.''
*'''Achilles:''' ''Make amends? You have no idea what you're doing. The future of the whole continent, maybe the whole world, is tied up in that Manuscript.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Perhaps. But we don't have the right to decide that future.''
*'''Achilles:''' ''The right? We have the responsibility!''
*'''Shay:''' ''WE are responsible for killing innocents and destroying cities! This... mad grab for power. It ends now.''
*'''Achilles:''' ''I will not let you destroy everything we have built!''
[[File:Freewill 9.png|thumb|250px|Achilles fighting Shay]]
A struggle ensued, during which Shay briefly managed to overcome Achilles. Using the opportunity, he escaped the manor by jumping through a window and landed safely in the snow.
*'''Achilles:''' ''Assassins! Stop him! Stop Shay!''
As the Assassins spread out, the [[Gerfaut|''Gerfaut'']] began raining mortar fire on the area.
*'''Assassins:''' ''Mortars! Run! Run away! Has [[Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de la Vérendrye|Chevalier]] gone mad? He'll destroy the manor! Take cover! Move! Get out of here! Watch out! What is de la Vérendrye doing?! Chevalier's using mortars to stop Shay! What's he thinking? He'll blast us to pieces!''
[[File:Freewill 11.png|thumb|250px|Liam firing at the powder kegs]]
Shay reached a narrow pass, while Liam attempted to block his path by shooting a stack of powder kegs and trigger a small landslide, though Shay still managed to slip through.
*'''Hope:''' ''You won't hinder our plans! How could you, Shay? Have you gone mad? Haven't I taught you anything? Won't you listen to reason, Shay?''
Shay continued running, evading his pursuers and Hope's [[Bombs#Smoke bombs|smoke bombs]] as he did so. On a rock in the distance, Liam and [[Kesegowaase]] signaled more Assassins with a flare, before running off.
*'''Kesegowaase:''' ''I will not let you run away. You cannot escape! I can see you! You will have to run faster than that!''
[[File:Freewill 12.png|thumb|250px|The Assassins cornering Shay]]
Eventually, Shay reached a dead end, coming to a stop atop a cliff overlooking the bay. His former Assassin allies quickly caught up with him, with Liam holding Shay at [[Firearms|gunpoint]] to prevent him from running away again.
*'''Liam:''' ''That's enough!''
*'''Hope:''' ''Give back the Manuscript, Shay. I'm sure Achilles-''
*'''Shay:''' ''I cannot. I will not let this happen again. All those souls lost... One more hardly matters.''
Walking towards the edge of the cliff, Shay was shot in the back before falling down and plunging into the bay.
*'''Liam:''' ''Shay!''

==Outcome==
Shay stole the manuscript from the Assassins, but was shot and heavily wounded during his escape attempt.

==Trivia==
*If Shay approaches [[Abigail Davenport|Abigail]] and [[Connor Davenport]]'s tombstones, the camera will focus on them for a brief moment.
*If Shay activates [[Eagle Vision]] while approaching the manor, Achilles can be seen in the upstairs window, highlighted in red.
*To the left, on the roof of the homestead, [[Kesegowaase]] can be seen performing the [[leap of faith]] from the chimney to hide in a leaf pile. But then seemingly vanishing thereafter.
*In the game trailer, in this memory, Shay is seen wearing his Templar attire despite not earning it until later on in the game.

'''Freewill''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Shay Cormac]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]] stored in the [[Helix]], relived by a [[Helix research analyst|research analyst]] through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
Following the disaster in [[Lisbon]], Shay went to confront his [[Mentor]] at the [[Davenport Homestead|Homestead]].

==Dialogue==
*'''Shay:''' ''So what's the next city you want me to smite?! What [[1751 Port-au-Prince earthquake|happened]] in [[Haiti]] happened in [[Portugal]]. A great [[1755 Lisbon earthquake|earthquake]]. Thousands dead, thanks to your damned [[Voynich manuscript|Manuscript]]!''
[[Hope Jensen|Hope]] intervened, putting herself between Shay and her Mentor.
*'''Achilles:''' ''This cannot be.''
*'''Hope:''' ''Shay, a person cannot start an earthquake.''
*'''Shay:''' ''A person meddling with these [[Isu|Precursor]] machines could. You saw the [[Precursor boxes|Box]], Hope. The [[Lisbon Temple|Temple]] was filled to bursting with that kind of power. You made me SLAUGHTER INNOCENTS!''
*'''Hope:''' ''How dare you!''
*'''Shay:''' ''You defend him? [[Achilles Davenport|Achilles]] sent me in there like [[François Mackandal|Mackandal]] sent his [[Vendredi|man]] in Haiti. He knew.''
[[Liam O'Brien|Liam]] entered the room and helped Hope with restraining Shay.
*'''Liam:''' ''What the hell's going on? Stop this!''
*'''Achilles:''' ''The operation was delicate, perhaps you-''
*'''Shay:''' ''You are shifting the earth itself. Who are you to decide what city falls next?''
*'''Achilles:''' ''Get him out of here.''
Later that day, Shay mulled over the events at a campfire.

*'''Shay:''' ''Liam is a fool if he thinks I'll leave this be. Achilles cannot be trusted. He must never find another Precursor Temple. I don't care that he's Mentor, or that his family is dead. There's no excuse for this level of madness!''
Having made up his mind, Shay made his way towards the manor.
*'''Shay:''' ''Only one thing to do.''
Shay entered the manor and went upstairs to steal the Manuscript, which was kept in a locked drawer.
*'''Shay:''' ''There's no turning back now...''
Using his [[Hidden Blade]], he broke open the lock and procured the document, though he was discovered by Achilles.
*'''Achilles:''' ''I had such hopes for you, Shay.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Achilles. I have to do this.''
*'''Achilles:''' ''And what is it you're doing exactly? Stealing from your [[Assassins|Brothers]]? Betraying me?''
*'''Shay:''' ''Someone must make amends.''
*'''Achilles:''' ''Make amends? You have no idea what you're doing. The future of the whole continent, maybe the whole world, is tied up in that Manuscript.''
*'''Shay:''' ''Perhaps. But we don't have the right to decide that future.''
*'''Achilles:''' ''The right? We have the responsibility!''
*'''Shay:''' ''WE are responsible for killing innocents and destroying cities! This... mad grab for power. It ends now.''
*'''Achilles:''' ''I will not let you destroy everything we have built!''
[[File:Freewill 9.png|thumb|250px|Achilles fighting Shay]]
A struggle ensued, during which Shay briefly managed to overcome Achilles. Using the opportunity, he escaped the manor by jumping through a window and landed safely in the snow.
*'''Achilles:''' ''Assassins! Stop him! Stop Shay!''
As the Assassins spread out, the [[Gerfaut|''Gerfaut'']] began raining mortar fire on the area.
*'''Assassins:''' ''Mortars! Run! Run away! Has [[Louis-Joseph Gaultier, Chevalier de la Vérendrye|Chevalier]] gone mad? He'll destroy the manor! Take cover! Move! Get out of here! Watch out! What is de la Vérendrye doing?! Chevalier's using mortars to stop Shay! What's he thinking? He'll blast us to pieces!''
[[File:Freewill 11.png|thumb|250px|Liam firing at the powder kegs]]
Shay reached a narrow pass, while Liam attempted to block his path by shooting a stack of powder kegs and trigger a small landslide, though Shay still managed to slip through.
*'''Hope:''' ''You won't hinder our plans! How could you, Shay? Have you gone mad? Haven't I taught you anything? Won't you listen to reason, Shay?''
Shay continued running, evading his pursuers and Hope's [[Bombs#Smoke bombs|smoke bombs]] as he did so. On a rock in the distance, Liam and [[Kesegowaase]] signaled more Assassins with a flare, before running off.
*'''Kesegowaase:''' ''I will not let you run away. You cannot escape! I can see you! You will have to run faster than that!''

Eventually, Shay reached a dead end, coming to a stop atop a cliff overlooking the bay. His former Assassin allies quickly caught up with him, with Liam holding Shay at [[Firearms|gunpoint]] to prevent him from running away again.
*'''Liam:''' ''That's enough!''
*'''Hope:''' ''Give back the Manuscript, Shay. I'm sure Achilles-''
*'''Shay:''' ''I cannot. I will not let this happen again. All those souls lost... One more hardly matters.''
Walking towards the edge of the cliff, Shay was shot in the back before falling down and plunging into the bay.
*'''Liam:''' ''Shay!''

==Outcome==
Shay stole the manuscript from the Assassins, but was shot and heavily wounded during his escape attempt.

==Trivia==
*If Shay approaches [[Abigail Davenport|Abigail]] and [[Connor Davenport]]'s tombstones, the camera will focus on them for a brief moment.
*If Shay activates [[Eagle Vision]] while approaching the manor, Achilles can be seen in the upstairs window, highlighted in red.
*To the left, on the roof of the homestead, [[Kesegowaase]] can be seen performing the leap of faith from the chimney to hide in a leaf pile. But then seemingly vanishing thereafter.
*In the game trailer, in this memory, Shay is seen wearing his Templar attire despite not earning it until later on in the game.
