Overrun and Outnumbered

Overrun and Outnumbered was a virtual representation of one of Edward Kenway's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus.

Description

Laurens Prins, a slaver from Kingston allied with the Templars, has arrived in Tulum and taken Assassins and Edward's crew hostage. Edward and Kidd set out to free them.

Dialogue

• Edward: What the hell did I just see back there? Jim!
• Kidd: Quiet!
• Ah Tabai: The statue in the temple. Was that the man you saw in Havana?
• Edward: Spitting likeness, aye.
• Ah Tabai: It seems another Sage has been found, the race for the Observatory begins anew.
• Edward: Is that why we're whispering?
• Ah Tabai: This is your doing, Captain Kenway. The maps you sold to the Templars have led them straight to us. And now the agents of two empires know exactly where we operate.
• Kidd: Leave this to me, Mentor.
• Ah Tabai: They have taken Edward's crew as well. I wonder what their lives are worth to him?
• Kidd: Take this. You'll attract no attention, and take fewer lives.

Edward used the blowpipe to save groups of hostages.

Edward freeing the Assassins

• Kidd: Use them darts on this one coming now. Quick! Quiet and effective, see?
• Assassin: Many thanks, but no forgiveness.
• Crew: Plague and perish if this ever happens again.
• Assassin: It was a slaver who brought these soldiers. Laurens Prins himself.
• Crew: Cheers captain.

Edward met up with Kidd and Ah Tabai again.

• Edward: Who's out there?
• Kidd: See that mangy old codger? He's a Dutch slaver called Laurens Prins. Living now like a king in Jamaica. Bastard's been a target for years. Bloody hell, we nearly had him!
• Edward: By God, you bravos are a cheery bunch eh. All frowns and furrowed brows.
• Ah Tabai: Captain Kenway. You have remarkable skills.
• Edward: Ah, thanks, mate. It comes natural.
• Ah Tabai: But you are churlish and arrogant, prancing around in a uniform that you have not earned.
• Edward: Everything is permitted. Isn't that you motto?
• Ah Tabai: I absolve you of your errors in Havana and elsewhere, but you are not welcome here.
• Kidd: Sorry, mate. Wish it were otherwise.

Later, Edward met with Kidd again.

Kidd explaining the Assassin and Templar causes to Edward

• Edward: Cheery bunch of mates you've got.
• Kidd: You deserve scorn, Edward. Prancing about like one of us, bringing shame to our cause.
• Edward: And what is that? Your cause?
• Kidd: To be blunt... we kill people. Templars and their associates. Folks who'd like to control all the empires on Earth... claiming it's in the name of peace and order.
• Edward: Sounds like Du Casse's dying words.
• Kidd: You see? It's about power really. About lording over people. Robbing us of liberty.
• Edward: That another message from one of your friends?
• Kidd: Aye. I'll show you. I know you ain't exactly impressed by our Creed. So would the sight of money make you more friendly to our ways?
• Edward: As ever.
• Kidd: Then work these contracts around the West Indies for us, and we'll pay you. As simple as that.

Outcome

Edward saved the Assassins and his crew, but was sent away by Ah Tabai. However, Kidd introduced him to assassination contracts, which he could gain money from.
