	In 1714, Duncan was told to meet Randall at Mrs. Salmon's Waxworks, an instruction he begrudgingly obliged. Arriving late, he immediately entered into an argument with the Mentor, who lectured Duncan on the Brotherhood's ideals and his lack of respect. The Master Assassin was subsequently informed about his new assignment, which was to travel to the [[Caribbean\|West Indies]] and assist the local Mentor, [[Ah Tabai]], in his hunt for a [[Sage]]. Displeased with the idea, Duncan protested, claiming he could not simply leave the East India Company.<ref name="Movie Novel">''[[Assassin's Creed: The Official Movie Novelization]]'' – Regressions – Subject: Nathan</ref>		In 1714, Duncan was told to meet Randall at Mrs. Salmon's Waxworks, an instruction he begrudgingly obliged.

	However, Randall then revealed that there was another reason for Duncan's sudden relocation: the Templars at the company had learned of hi ties to the Brotherhood, putting them all in jeopardy. Bitter about the fact that his ambition was being stifled by the Assassins and that he supposedly needed additional training from Ah Tabai, Duncan turned down the mission and departed. Nevertheless, Randall was confident that the Master Assassin would come around, as he had before.<ref name="Movie Novel" />		However, Randall then revealed that there was another reason for Duncan's sudden relocation: the Templars at the company had learned of his ties to the Brotherhood, putting them all in jeopardy.

	Later that day, at the {{Wiki\|East India House}}, Duncan spotted [[Henry Spencer]], a member of the company's Court of Directors and a Templar, according to Randall. Tailing the man to a [[tavern]], the Master Assassin decided to strike up a conversation with him, during which it became clear that Spencer was indeed a member of the Order and knew of Duncan's own allegiance. In spite of this, the exchange proceeded peacefully; after Spencer had departed, Duncan followed, intending to assassinate him.<ref name="Movie Novel" />		Later that day, at the {{Wiki\|East India House}}, Duncan spotted [[Henry Spencer]], a member of the company's Court of Directors and a Templar, according to Randall.
