The Calm Before the Storm

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

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

Dialogue

• Sailor: The parcel is with the Templar Admiral on the lead ship, Captain. Once he gives the orders, it will be lost!
• Captain: 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, where he 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.

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

Adéwalé was thrown overboard.

Outcome

Adéwalé managed to retrieve the Templar package, but lost his ship.
