The Calm Before the Storm was a virtual representation of one of Adéwalé's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus.

Description[edit | edit source]

Adéwalé set out to retrieve a parcel from a Templar Admiral.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

  • Sailor: The parcel is with the Templar Admiral on the lead ship, Captain. Once he gives the orders, it will be lost!
  • Adéwalé: The parcel itself is less interesting than its intended recipient. Let's eliminate this errand boy Admiral and unmask the true Templar threat. When I became an Assassin, I swore to leave piracy behind, but the old methods have served the Creed more than once.
  • Sailor: "Everything is permitted" after all, captain.
  • Adéwalé: Aye. And often it is necessary.

They attacked the Templar fleet, boarding the Man O' War. Adéwalé then went below deck.

  • Guard: Is anyone in charge here?
  • Admiral: Just keep your rank. And be ready for anything!
  • Guard: Stay below, sir!

Adéwalé killed the Admiral and took the parcel.

  • Adéwalé: Bastienne Josèphe. Port-au-Prince. What business do Templars have (there)?
  • Sailor: Captain! More French vessels at our tail!
  • Adéwalé: Too many. We'll retreat through the storm.
  • Sailor: We will be smashed ashore!
  • Adéwalé: A worse fate awaits if we let this land in Templar hands.
  • Sailor: Aye, captain.

Adéwalé sailed through the storm.

  • Sailor: Captain! There's no hope!
  • Adéwalé: Rescue yourselves. I must stay with the ship.
  • Sailor: No. I will stay with you.
    They're closing in!
    They draw ever closer!
    They are gaining on us!

Adéwalé lost his pursuers, but was thrown overboard by the storm.

Outcome[edit | edit source]

Adéwalé managed to retrieve the Templar package, but lost his ship during a subsequent storm.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • It is possible to sink the Man O' War, which forces Adéwalé to use the diving bell to recover the package from the wreck.
  • After unlocking the Experto Crede in the memory "A Ship of His Own", it will replace the Victoire in this memory on all subsequent replays.
