A Governor No More

A Governor No More was a virtual representation of one of Aveline de Grandpré's genetic memories.

Description

Aveline prepared an ambush for the Spanish governor on Agaté's orders.

Dialogue

Aveline retrieved a letter from the pigeon coop.

• Letter: My Student. By now you have surely seen the havoc the rebels wreak. A plan forms in my mind, but we must act fast. To receive your new orders, find me in the graveyard, my last safe refuge in the city. Make haste.

Aveline met Agaté in the graveyard.

• Agaté: Aveline. Your face has been scarce around the bayou. Do you outgrow your need of me?
• Aveline: I came the moment I received your message.
• Agaté: I had a nightmare. I dreamt that you turned--no. Never mind. I wonder if you would humor your old mentor with a show of loyalty?
• Aveline: Agaté, I need not humor you. I am loyal. What do you need?
• Agaté: I don't know what you and Monsieur Blanc have been conspiring, but it is clear that now, amid the chaos of the riot, Ulloa will finally be forced to leave La Balize and negotiate for peace. Our moment is now. With the kidnapper dead, and safety restored, my mission will be complete. I will find peace. There is only one path the governor can take--the others are barricaded or in flames. You must prepare an ambush and strike at just the right moment. Find him, and kill him.
• Aveline: I will.

Aveline set out to investigate the ambush site.

• Aveline: Everything I need for an ambush...

Aveline then continued by eliminating the five guards in the area, blocking the square, and preparing the explosives.

• Guard: We're blocked.
• Guard: There's no way out!

Aveline then caused an explosion, taking out most of Ulloa's men, and took care of the remaining soldiers. After that, she took governor Antonio de Ulloa out of his carriage.

• Antonio: Please! No! Spare my wife and child!
• Aveline: Like you've spared the lives of slaves and laborers you've ripped from their families?
• Antonio: Yes! They are not harmed. Merely transported--to México.
• Aveline: Mexico? To what end?
• Antonio: I do not know. I am only an adviser. Please! My wife knows nothing! I told her the convoys were for criminals overflowing from the city jail. She is innocent! Allow me to make amends.
• Aveline: You? Who knows nothing?
• Antonio: I am a man of science. My own southern expeditions required similar tools and manpower. The region is rich with relics predating even the Mayans-- Further, I can offer you this-- I was entrusted it by the Order. I will exchange it now, for the life of my family.
• Aveline: I will turn my back now, and walk away. If you would like to keep your life, you will remove yourself from this continent, never to be seen again.
• Antonio: Thank you! Thank you for your mercy.
• Aveline: Mercy? This is not mercy. I merely leave you to content with the arsenal of your own employers. A life of hiding awaits you. Go, and wallow in your false freedom.

Aveline then returned to Agaté.

• Agaté: Were you successful?
• Aveline: Gouverneur Ulloa gave me this trophy.
• Agaté: Ah. A valuable find. This makes Ulloa's death an incredible victory for the Assassin Brotherhood. I only wish I could have witnessed it myself. Tell me, what were his last words?
• Aveline: "Thank you for your mercy."
• Agaté: What? You mean to say he is free? This is how you choose to prove your loyalty to me? By disobeying my direct order? By letting our enemy run free?
• Aveline: My mentor, you are consumed by blood lust! We share a common goal: free the slaves, defeat our enemies, impose justice. We now have the tools we need to advance in our mission. I must follow our enemy to Mexico, now!
• Agaté: You will do no such thing!
• Aveline: If you will not see it, I must follow my own instincts.
• Agaté: What is an Assassin without discipline? You will regret your insubordination.
• Aveline: I'll take that chance.

Outcome

Aveline spared Antonio de Ulloa's life, but received all the information she needed. Her decision caused an argument between her and her mentor.

Trivia

• To achieve full synchronization, Aveline had to complete the mission using all three personas and the ambush had to be set up in under four minutes.
