Execution is Everything

Execution Is Everything was a virtual representation of one of Haytham Kenway's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

Haytham met with Kaniehtí:io again. He hoped to gain information about Edward Braddock's whereabouts by infiltrating a nearby fort without being detected.

Dialogue

Kaniehtí:io explaining her plan to get Haytham into the fort.

• Kaniehtí:io: Use the snowstorm to mask your approach. Having second thought?
• Haytham: Hardly. But I'll have to approach this carefully.
• Kaniehtí:io: Go on, then. I'll keep watch from here.
• Haytham: Hmmm. I can hide in that cart.

Haytham then snuck into a cart riding towards the fort.

• Redcoat: What's in the wagon? I need a full inventory.
• Driver: As you wish. Let's see - 2 barrels of salt, 12 pounds pork, 10 pounds beef, 7 dozen eggs, 16 wheels of cheese - none of it French, don't worry, 5 bottles of whiskey. Couple dozen new uniforms, boots, and leather for patching. Blankets. A cart of feed for the horses. Wot else... Wot else... That's it. That's all there is.

The guards allowed the cart to move through the gates, and Haytham got out.

• Haytham: Those cannons are like to cause trouble. Perhaps I could sabotage them.

Haytham then went on to eavesdrop on two British soldiers; George Washington and John Fraser.

• Fraser: Tell me you've good news?
• Washington: General Braddock refused the offer. There will be no truce.
• Fraser: Dammit! Why, George? What reason did he give?
• Washington: He said a diplomatic solution was no solution at all. That allowing the French to retreat would only delay an inevitable conflict, one in which they'd now have the upper hand.
• Fraser: There's merit to those words, as much as I hate to admit it. Still... can't he see this is unwise?
• Washington: It doesn't sit well with me either. We're far from home with our forces divided. Worse, I fear Braddock's bloodlust makes him careless. It puts the men at risk. I'd rather not be delivering grim news to mothers and widows because the Bulldog wanted to prove a point.

Haytham retrieving the tactical map.

• Fraser: Where's the General now?
• Washington: Rallying the troops.
• Fraser: And then it's on to Fort Duquesne, I assume?
• Washington: Eventually. The march north will surely take time. There's a copy of the plans in the command tent should you wish to review them.
• Fraser: At least this will be ended soon.
• Washington: I tried, John.
• Fraser: I know, my friend. I know...
• Haytham: That map will surely be of use. I need to find it.

Haytham stole the map and returned to Kaniehtí:io.

• Kaniehtí:io: What news?
• Haytham: Braddock has left to rally his troops. They're marching on Fort Duquesne. It'll be a while yet 'til they're ready, which gives us time to form a plan.
• Kaniehtí:io: No need. We will ambush them here, near the river. Go and gather your allies. I will do the same. I will send word when it is time to strike.

Outcome

Haytham managed to discover the whereabouts of Edward Braddock, which allowed him and Kaniehtí:io to come up with a plan to ambush him and his troops.
