Lexington and Concord

Lexington and Concord was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

Connor helped in defending Lexington and Concord from the British Army's attack, led by John Pitcairn.

Dialogue

Connor met with John Parker just outside Lexington.

• Parker: Stand your ground, men! Don't fire unless fired upon! But if they mean to have a war, let it begin here!
• Connor: Pitcairn.
• Pitcairn: Disperse, you damned rebels! Lay down your arms and disperse!
• Parker: What the deuce are you doing?! Hold your positions! Cravens! Traitors!
• Connor: They are not coming back. You will have to make do with those who remain.
• Parker: Don't you lecture me on how - Return fire! Return fire! You need to get to Concord and warn the others. Show this to whoever leads there. Should be a man by the name of James Barrett. Go on now.

Connor left Lexington and rode to Concord, where he met with James Barrett.

• Connor: Blood's been spilled in Lexington, and there's more to come. The Regulars are on the march.
• James: You don't say? Why do you think I've men up here? Go home, 'fore you get yourself killed. I've enough to worry about without some green boy looking to play at hero.
• William: I can vouch for him.
• Connor: John Parker as well. Where's Revere?
• William: Captured.
• Connor: What?
• William: Fear not. That man's no stranger to sticky situations. He'll be fine, I'm sure of it.
• James: Ahem! you ladies finished gossiping? Parker seems to believe you're not completely useless. So I suppose there's a thing or two you might be able to help with... When the fighting starts, we'll need to hold those positions there. They're critical to the defense of Concord. Good boys, not used to soldiering. They need someone with experience to direct 'em. That something you can do? You'd best be telling the truth.
• Connor: You have my word.
• James: Then I suppose all that's left to do is wait...

The Redcoats then came marching towards Concord.

• Soldier: Sir!
• James: MAN THE BARRICADES! No. Ensure my men hold those positions! If the Red Devils break through, we're finished!
• Connor: What would you have me do?
• James: Listen carefully. The Redcoats will form firing lies. Order the men to shoot just before the line is ready. Too soon and they'll miss their targets. Too late and the enemy will open fire first.
• Connor: Understood.
• James: And if any of those bastards make it through, engage them. You must keep my men alive!

Connor then directed the rebel militia, telling them how to defend the bridge.

• Pitcairn: Fall Back! Fall Back!
• Rebel soldier: We did it! They're turning tail!
• James: Takes a true monster to do something like this... At least they're gone.
• Connor: I should have struck when I had the chance... Do you know where Pitcairn could've gone?
• James: Back into the withered bosom of the British no doubt - so tha he might regroup and plan his next atrocity.
• Connor: I need to find him. Every day I wait, more will suffer...
• James: Chin up, friend. Many who should've died today now live because of you.
• Connor: And what of them?
• James: We did the best we can with what we've got.
• Connor: It is not enough.
• James: Hm. It never is.

Outcome

Connor assisted in the defense of Lexington and Concord, managing to stop the British troops and having them retreat. However, John Pitcairn escaped.

Trivia

• To achieve full synchronization, three constraints had to be completed: seven groups of regulars had to be killed with a single order, one civilian hostage had to be rescued, and all previous constraints had to be completed in one playthrough.
