'''Down with the Ship''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Adéwalé]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by a [[Abstergo Entertainment research analyst|research analyst]] at [[Abstergo Entertainment]] through the [[Animus]].

==Description==
[[Adéwalé]] set out to liberate another [[Slave ships|slave ship]].

==Dialogue==
Adéwalé met with [[Bastienne Josèphe]] in ''[[La Dame en Rose]]''.
*'''Bastienne:''' ''Adé, [[Augustin Dieufort|Augustin]] has learned of another slave ship to intercept. I beg you to reconsider.''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''Special orders from your sometime-ish confidant, the [[Pierre, Marquis de Fayet|Governor]]?''
*'''Bastienne:''' ''No. It is as I feared. With all the [[Slavery|slaves]] you have freed, the [[France|French]] are in a panic.''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''Let the French live with the fear they earned.''
*'''Bastienne:''' ''It is not so simple. Curfews are strict. Punishments are harsher and more frequent. You help the ones you freed, but at what cost to the ones you can't?''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''A small price for independence. The sooner Augustin's [[Maroon rebellion|revolution]] comes, the sooner all slaves will live in peace as free people.''
*'''Bastienne:''' ''Gouverneur de Fayet threatens retaliation.''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''Then he is behind this!''
*'''Bastienne:''' ''No. Adéwalé-''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''Not another word. I don't want to hear it.''
Adéwalé took ''[[Experto Crede]]'' out to sea, to search for the slave ship.

*'''Augustin:''' ''In your pirate days, did you cross many slave ships?''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''More than a few. But when I sailed with [[Edward Kenway|Kenway]], [[Piracy|plunder]] was the only prize. Plunder, or information leading to more plunder.''
*'''Augustin:''' ''Did you never wish to intervene?''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''It is wise for a quartermaster to keep his wishes to himself, if he also wishes to remain as quartermaster. But yes, the thought did cross my mind. When the [[Assassins]] offered me the opportunity to pursue more serious aims, I left the plundering behind.''
*'''Augustin:''' ''But the slave ships also?''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''No, for I am still an Assassin, and I have found them again. I would not trade my years as a pirate for anything.''
*'''Augustin:''' ''You enjoyed your freedom.''
Adéwalé and his crew destroyed two of the slave ship's escorts, but the last one attempted to sink the slave ship itself.
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''No! They'll sink the ship.''
*'''Augustin:''' ''Captain Adé, I think we must act fast! Captain, I worry. If we do not respond fast, it will be too late!''
They destroyed the last escort and boarded the slave ship.
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''I'll go below! Control these fires and prepare the Experto Crede to receive survivors.''
Adéwalé freed the slaves trapped below deck.
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''Hurry! Go now!''

The ship sank, and Adéwalé barely managed to escape. Later, the Maroons buried the drowned slaves on a beach.
*'''Bastienne:''' ''(Governor) de Fayet. I thought I understood his indifference. I did not anticipate the extent of his heartlessness.''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''You tried to warn me. We are all guilty. But the governor will pay with his own life. My [[The Creed|creed]] demands that I see to it.''
*'''Augustin:''' ''(It's useless.) Revenge is cold comfort. Once De Fayet is gone, another tyrant will take his place.''
*'''Adéwalé:''' ''His death must give this generation of warriors hope. They must not abandon the goal of independence.''
*'''Bastienne:''' ''And the death of these souls? Some barely knew life.''
*'''Augustin:''' ''We will always mourn them.''

==Outcome==
Adéwalé tried to rescue the slaves in the slave ship, but the majority of them died as the ship sank.
