Abberline, We Presume was a virtual representation of one of Jacob and Evie Frye's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Description
Jacob and Evie met with Sergeant Frederick Abberline to gain allies in the Metropolitan Police Service.
Dialogue
Jacob and Evie met in an alley.
- Evie: I don't see Mister Abberline.
- Jacob: Well, we tried.
A bearded man disguised as a woman stepped forward and spoke in a feminine tone.
- Abberline: Psst. I may know a thing or two about that splendid fellow you're talking about.
- Jacob: What's this?
Jacob pulled off the man's bonnet, causing the man to give up the disguise.
- Abberline: God's sake, are you trying to blow the gaff?!
- Jacob: What-
- Abberline: Sergeant Abberline, at your service. I presume you're the Frye twins Green mentioned.
- Jacob: I was expecting you to be a policeman.
- Abberline: I was expecting you to be discreet.
- Evie: Henry Green said that you could help us go unnoticed.
- Abberline: This is how it will work. I will give you the names of criminal gang members, you will bring them back to me. Quietly.
- Jacob: Oh, we'll be as quiet as an old lady. A very hairy, strange old lady, that looks like a policeman.
- Abberline: Now whatever you do, try to remain within the bounds of the law. For my sake. I don't need any corpses at the station... Approach the target from behind and attempt to make them talk. Then bring them to my carriage, carefully.
Dalton was grabbed.
- Dalton: Get off me! Piss off! Oi!
- Jacob: Shut your gob.
Meet my blade. - Dalton: What is it that you think I've done?
- Jacob: Collecting rent from people who don't owe you a shilling?
- Dalton: Yeah, me and half of the richies in this bloody city. You going to kidnap them too?
- Jacob: Maybe. But I'm starting with you.
If Evie captured Dalton, their interaction would be different.
- Dalton: Get off me! Piss off! Oi!
- Evie: Shut your mouth.
Meet my blade. - Dalton: Get your hands off me!
- Evie: Stop squeezing people of every last penny, and we'll talk.
If Dalton broke free, he would attempt to escape.
- Dalton: Ha-ha! Just try to catch me now.
Ha!
Someone! Get this lady off my back!
Somebody stop this git!
Dalton was grabbed again.
- Dalton: Oh, for God's sake!
Dalton was shoved into Abberline's carriage.
- Dalton: Help! Help!
Dalton was brought to the police station.
- Abberline: We'll be glad to see him behind bars. Thank you.
Outcome
Homer Dalton was brought to Abberline, establishing a closer allegiance between him and the Assassins.
Behind the scenes
The memory name may allude to the famous quotation, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" which was allegedly said by Henry Morton Stanley to David Livingstone in Ujiji, Tanzania on 10 November 1871 after the latter was unheard of for six years.
