They proceeded to turn the pressure lever for the distillation tanks to burst and release gas, causing the entire factory to catch fire within moments.<ref name="Unnatural Selection"/>

			Fortunately, Darwin and Jacob were able to escape the now-burning building. Darwin then introduced himself to the young Assassin and revealed a book he had found inside the factory before its destruction, which indicated that large batches of the Syrup were being sent to [[Lambeth Asylum]]. The scientist subsequently asked Jacob to meet him at the asylum to continue their investigation.<ref name="Unnatural Selection"/>

	Darwin ~~later~~ confronted [[Richard Owen]], accusing him of writing an anonymous article that insulted his name and reputation, but Owen brushed him off and drove off in a carriage. Jacob came by shortly afterwards, and Darwin urged him to pursue Owen, as he knew who was producing the Syrup. Jacob returned after having intimidated Owen into revealing that the Syrup's producer was Doctor [[John Elliotson]].<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' – [[On the Origin of Syrup]]</ref> The Assassin then proceeded to infiltrate [[Lambeth Asylum]] and eliminate Elliotson, ending production of the Syrup.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' – [[Overdose]]</ref>		Outside the asylum, Darwin confronted [[Richard Owen]], accusing him of writing an anonymous article that insulted his name and reputation, but Owen brushed him off and drove off in a carriage.

	Darwin later ran into Jacob again, as well as his twin sister [[Evie Frye\|Evie]], and asked for their help in recovering {{Wiki\|Specimens of Archaeopteryx\|an important}} [[fossil]] from a colleague of his named Dr. Schwartz.

	Another time, Darwin joined the Frye twins in investigating a toxic plant in one of [[Westminster]]'s parks that was making people delirious. Discovering the Blighters to be responsible, they hijacked their flower carriage and destroyed it. Along the way, the Fryes told Darwin more about the nature of their [[Assassin-Templar War\|conflict]] with the Templars, including the fact that Elliotson had been a member of the organization. The scientist did not probe them for further details, and encouraged the Assassins to continue their fight.<ref>''Assassin's Creed: Syndicate'' – [[An Abominable Mystery]]</ref>		Another time, Darwin joined the Frye twins in investigating a toxic plant in one of [[Westminster]]'s parks that was making people delirious.
