| |
| '''Journey to the New World''' was a virtual representation of one of [[Haytham Kenway]]'s [[Genetic memory|genetic memories]], relived by [[Desmond Miles]] in 2012 through the [[Animus]].
| |
|
| |
| ==Description==
| |
| Haytham Kenway boarded the ''[[Providence]]'', which would bring him from [[London]] to [[Boston]].
| |
|
| |
| ==Dialogue==
| |
| [[File:Journey to the New World 2.png|thumb|250px|Haytham in his cabin]]
| |
| The crew above decks were singing a song amidst the journey. Haytham was working in his cabin, noting down his examinations of the [[Grand Temple Key|amulet]] he took at the opera house.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Some fresh air might do me good...''
| |
| Haytham entered one of the cabins.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Have a moment to talk?''
| |
| *'''Rupert:''' ''Ah, a fellow Londoner! Good to see I'm not the only man of means aboard. [[Rupert Martin]], pleased to meet you.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Haytham Kenway. Pleasure.''
| |
| *'''Rupert:''' ''Seems we picked an excellent time to leave the city.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Oh?''
| |
| *'''Rupert:''' ''You didn't hear about the murder at the [[Theatre Royal|opera house]]?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''No. What happened?''
| |
| *'''Rupert:''' ''They're still trying to sort it out. And I suspect they'll be at it for a good while.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Any word on the motive?''
| |
| *'''Rupert:''' ''They've ruled out robbery. So perhaps it was a business arrangement gone sour. Or something more personal... more lurid. Who knows. But I am glad to be away from it. The city grows more dangerous by the day.''
| |
| Haytham then entered the infirmary, and spoke to the [[Doctor (Providence)|doctor]], who was tending to a sailor.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Good morning, Doctor.''
| |
| *'''Doctor:''' ''To you as well.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''A question, if I may. Do you serve aboard the ship? Or are you simply taking passage?''
| |
| *'''Doctor:''' ''A bit of both, actually. I've been commissioned by the [[Royal Navy]] to study maritime illness. I'll be observing the crew during the journey. We have found that sailors fare far better on the open seas than the rest of us. I hope to discover why that is.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Well, I hope you are successful in your endeavors.''
| |
| *'''Doctor:''' ''As do I. Thank you for the kind words.''
| |
| Haytham then made his way to the upper deck, where he met the ship's captain, [[Samuel Smythe]].
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Captain.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Mister Kenway.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''I just wanted to thank you again for taking me aboard, and apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Inconvenience would be an understatement.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''I'm sorry, I don't follow.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''My ship was held in port for two days that we might accommodate you. I lost several contracts as a result.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''I had no idea...''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Of course not. You nobles are all the same...''
| |
| Haytham then walked up to a group of sailors.
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''...and then all will be well.''
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''You sure 'bout that?''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Of course! Have I ever led you astray?''
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''Nah... But it don't sit right wit' the others.''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Have faith, my friend. You'll see.''
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''Well, well. Seems our esteemed guest has deigned grace us wit' 'is presence! You might want to head back to your quarters. Top deck's no place for Tender Parnells.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''So I thought. And yet, here you are.''
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''Fancy yourself a joker, eh? Let's see how funny you find this.''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''That's enough, Graves.''
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''Stay outta this!''
| |
| [[File:Journey to the New World 4.png|250px|thumb|Graves challenging Haytham to a brawl]]
| |
| Haytham and Graves engaged in hand-to-hand combat, with Haytham emerging victorious.
| |
| *'''Quill:''' ''Listen ta this [[Hector Graves|Hector]] – thinks he can swagger on up 'ere and declare himself king 'o the castle.''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Please fellas – call this off. If the captain sees us–''
| |
| *'''Quill:''' ''–Ta hell with the captain! And ta hell with you, [[Louis Mills|Mills]]! Whose side you on, anyway?''
| |
| Haytham and Quill then fought as well, with Haytham once again proving the winner.
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''I'm ready to go again if you are.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''This is unwise.''
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''Why's that? Ya think I'm afraid of ya?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''No. But you should be.''
| |
| Haytham beat Graves to the ground.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Do you yield?''
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''Never.''
| |
| Graves then pulled out a [[Short blades|knife]].
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''How do you like these odds?''
| |
| Haytham managed to disarm Graves, but the captain arrived.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''What's the meaning of this?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Captain.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Explain yourself at once, Mister Kenway!''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''These fou–''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''We were simply passing the time with a bit of sport, Captain.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''How about you pass the time by doing your god-damned jobs instead?! I wasn't aware I was paying you to loll about! A word, please – Mister Kenway?''
| |
| [[File:Journey to the New World 9.png|thumb|250px|Haytham warning Smythe]]
| |
| Haytham went to follow Smythe, but slowed to a stop.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Oh, I nearly forgot.''
| |
| Haytham span around and threw the knife between Graves' feet.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''There's your knife back.''
| |
| Haytham then followed the captain into his quarters.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''I don't care for you, Mister Kenway. I've had nothing but trouble since you came aboard.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Your problems have nothing to do with me.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''I beg your pardon?!''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''You're a poor leader, ill-tempered and cruel. And it's clear your crew has no respect for you.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Look – I don't want to argue. In fact, I need a favor...''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Oh? This is rich...''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''I suspect some of the men intend to mutiny.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Really, what a surprise.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''As I cannot trust any of them, I am compelled to turn to you.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''And why should I help you?''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Because if they do intend to betray, I'm the only hope you have of reaching America alive. Well? What will it be?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''If what you say is true, what other choice do I have?''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Thank y–''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''But let me be clear, should you ever dare to insult or threaten me again, I'll not hesitate to cut off your head myself. Are we understood? Excellent! Good day.''
| |
| Haytham proceeded to speak to the helmsman.
| |
| *'''Helmsman:''' ''Hello, sir.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Do you expect we'll have a pleasant crossing?''
| |
| *'''Helmsman''' ''It is a quiet time of year – though rogue storms and troubled waters are not unheard of. But no need to fret. At worst they'll prove an inconvenience. I'm more concerned about [[Piracy|pirates]] and rogue privateers.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Have you encountered them before?''
| |
| *'''Helmsman:''' ''Aye. But the Providence is a strong [[Ships|ship]] – and her crew well trained. They will surely keep us safe.''
| |
| [[File:Journey to the New World 10.png|thumb|250px|Smythe asking Haytham to investigate the crew]]
| |
| Several days passed without any sign of the mutiny. Haytham sat in his cabin, looking at the amulet, when Smythe walked by.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Mister Kenway.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Captain.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Whatever they're up to – I believe it's coming to a head.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Then I'd best get to work.''
| |
| Haytham went to interrogate the crew members, and overheard some of them talking.
| |
| *'''Sailor 1:''' ''He's cut our rations again. Claims we're not "provisioned" for such luxuries.''
| |
| *'''Sailor 2:''' ''It's not right that he should feast on lamb and wine, whilst we're stuck with tinned fish and biscuits...''
| |
| *'''Sailor 1:''' ''Someone needs to have words with him...''
| |
| *'''Sailor 2:''' ''Mills tried. Captain turned him away. ''
| |
| *'''Sailor 1:''' ''Then he must try again, with more force, if need be!''
| |
| *'''Sailor 3:''' ''He's a shifty fella. Won't hardly take his hat off! Keeps his face hidden too, so we he can't see him watching -''
| |
| *'''Sailor 4:''' ''Quiet! Here he comes. Make like you're working!''
| |
| *'''Sailor 5:''' ''You're not having second thoughts, are you?''
| |
| *'''Sailor 6:''' ''I know it needs to be done, but...''
| |
| *'''Sailor 5:''' ''But what?''
| |
| *'''Sailor 6:''' ''I have a wife and two daughters. What if it goes wrong?''
| |
| *'''Sailor 5:''' ''There's no one aboard doesn't agree with us. The longer we wait, the longer we go without.''
| |
| Haytham approached Graves.
| |
| *'''Graves:''' ''You lookin' for another fight, that it? Go away.''
| |
| Haytham continued his search.
| |
| *'''Quill:''' ''I ain't got nothing to say to you.''
| |
| Haytham spoke to Mills.
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Quite the basting you gave Graves and Quill.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Wasn't by choice.''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Aye. Blockheads, the both of them. Where are my manners. Louis Mills. Pleased to meet you.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Haytham Kenway. So, should I be watching my back?''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''I think the boys learned their lesson. They're normally not so nasty. Honest, it's just the past few crossings have been a bit... rough.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Oh?''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Captain's trying to cut costs. Reduced rations, lower wages, more dangerous cargo... It's put the crew on edge.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Is there cause for concern, then?''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Not if I can help it. But the Captain needs to think about the way he treats his men...''
| |
| Haytham continued to another sailor.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''You there. I have some questions for you.''
| |
| *'''Sailor 5:''' ''That's nice. But I ain't got time to gossip. Probably wouldn't have anything useful to share anyway. You want information? Try the cook – or the doctor – everyone's always chatting them up.''
| |
| Haytham found the doctor and spoke to him again.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''A word, doctor. If you have a moment.''
| |
| *'''Doctor:''' ''Why, have you taken ill?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''No, nothing like that. I was wondering if you had heard any rumblings of trouble on board.''
| |
| *'''Doctor:''' ''What sort of trouble?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Unusual complaints or grievances. Men taking issue with the Captain or his -''
| |
| *'''Doctor:''' ''You sound just like [[James Fairweather|James]]. Like I've told him, I've been much too busy with my research to hear anything not work-related.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''And where might I find James?''
| |
| *'''Doctor:''' ''The galley's your best bet. Now, if you'll excuse me...''
| |
| [[File:Journey to the New World 13.png|250px|thumb|Haytham talking with the cook]]
| |
| Haytham then spoke to the cook.
| |
| *'''Cook:''' ''Won't be serving for another couple hours. Some biscuits in the barrel if you're desperate.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Actually I've come with a question.''
| |
| *'''Cook:''' ''What's that?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Have any of the men been acting strange recently? Said anything that struck you as out of the ordinary?''
| |
| *'''Cook:''' ''The boys cry about the rations, as if there's anything I can do about it. But beyond that I ain't heard much. My advice? Go find James. His ears are always open.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''And where might I find him?''
| |
| *'''Cook:''' ''Right behind you, actually. He's the one sitting on the barrel.''
| |
| Haytham turned around and spoke with James.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Are you James?''
| |
| *'''James:''' ''Aye.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Haytham Kenway. Pleased to meet you.''
| |
| *'''James:''' ''I know who you are.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''I was hoping you could answer some questions.''
| |
| *'''James:''' ''I figured as much... But not here. Follow me.''
| |
| James and Haytham went to the upper deck.
| |
| *'''James:''' ''So what do you want to know?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Have you seen or heard anything out of the ordinary since we left port? Anything that gives cause for concern?''
| |
| *'''James:''' ''Some of the men have been gathering at night on the upper deck. I've only caught bits of their conversations – so I couldn't say for certain what they're up to. But I suspect it bodes ill...''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Is it a mutiny they're planning?''
| |
| *'''James:''' ''All I know is they've little love for the captain. Mills has been trying to talk 'em down, but... there's only so much one man can do.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Thank you for the information.''
| |
| *'''James:''' ''I only wish to see us reach the colonies alive.''
| |
| Haytham went to talk to the captain.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''You must expose whatever they're plotting.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Your crew is a tight-lipped bunch, but I'll see what I can do...''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Well, hurry up!''
| |
| [[File:Journey to the New World 15.png|250px|thumb|Haytham discovering the trail of barrels]]
| |
| Haytham then talked to the helmsman again.
| |
| *'''Helmsman:''' ''Evening, sir.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''How are things?''
| |
| *'''Helmsman:''' ''Calm and quiet – just the way I like it. What brings you topside?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Thought I'd wander a bit. Stretch my legs. That's all.''
| |
| *'''Helmsman:''' ''Take care where you tread. The deck hides all manner of danger in the dark...''
| |
| A splashing sound was then heard.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''What was that? Someone's throwing cargo overboard... But why?''
| |
| Haytham then went to the lower deck again, where he discovered some marked barrels. He then went back to his cabin for some sleep.
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Curious. Most curious.''
| |
| A few days passed before Haytham and the captain met again.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Any news?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Each night it's the same. I scout one area and they drop the painted barrels from another. I'm going to need to recruit an extra pair of eyes. Maybe James or Mills.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Why are they doing this?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Near as I can tell, the barrels serve as markers. They're leaving a trail. I fear it is only a matter of time before whoever's following it–''
| |
| *'''Lookout:''' ''[[Aquila|Ship]] sighted aft! She's making ready to fire!''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Beat to quarters, men! Ready the– Brace! Everybody down! A warning shot. It seems they don't mean to sink us, but board us instead. Man the cannons! Make ready to fight!''
| |
| Smythe turned to Haytham.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''I want you below decks.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Why? Let me help you secure the ship.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Do you know how to rig a sail? To load a [[Cannons|cannon]]? To wage war at sea? I didn't think so. Now return to your cabin – or do I need to have you escorted?''
| |
| [[File:Journey to the New World 18.png|250px|thumb|Haytham dueling Mills]]
| |
| Haytham went below deck, where he was confronted by Mills.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Secure the hatch!''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Haytham.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Have you been topside? A ship's appeared and means to board us. But it's strange... There's no sign of mutiny aboard... It doesn't even make sense.''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Ah, but it does.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''What do you mean?''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Did you think you could escape from London so easily after what you did at the opera? That [[Assassins|we]] wouldn't notice? That we wouldn't follow?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Ahhh... So THAT'S what this is about...''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Surrender and I will see that you are treated with honor.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''If you wish to treat me with honor, give me a [[Swords and maces|sword]].''
| |
| *'''Mills:''' ''Are you sure this is how you want to play it?''
| |
| The two men then engaged in a swordfight, and Haytham managed to defeat his opponent, striking a fatal blow. After that, Haytham ventured topside again.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''I told you to stay below decks!''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''I did as you asked, only Mills was there waiting for me. He's the one that drew that ship here. There was no mutiny – only him.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''What do they want?''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Me.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Then they can have you!''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Is that so?''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''They'll catch us anyway... There's nothing to be done.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''I can think of something...''
| |
| [[File:Journey to the New World 20.png|250px|thumb|''Aquila'' pursuing the ''Providence'' through the storm]]
| |
| Haytham looked over to dark clouds that had formed in the sky above the sea, some distance away.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''You wish us to sail INTO the storm?!''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''It's our only chance.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''I won't do it.''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Then I will.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Alright, alright.''
| |
| Smythe sailed the ''Providence'' into the storm.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''We need those ropes secured! I told you this was madness!''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Calm yourself. I'll fix your sail for you.''
| |
| Haytham went and secured the ropes.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''We need more speed! Loose the sails! Haytham – you take the foremast. James – the main mast with you!''
| |
| *'''James:''' ''Aye, aye!''
| |
| Lightning then destroyed the main mast, causing James to hang for his life. However, Haytham quickly freeran over the fallen beam to pull him up.
| |
| *'''James:''' ''Hurry! I can't hold on much longer!<br />The rope's too wet, I'm slipping!<br />Thank you! Thank you!''
| |
| Haytham watched as the pursuing ship, the ''Aquila'', supposedly sank. Again, several days passed before he and the captain met again.
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''Make ready for our arrival, men!''
| |
| *'''Haytham:''' ''Arrival? I see no land... only this interminable fog.''
| |
| *'''Smythe:''' ''The gulls tell us all we need to know. Climb into the crow's nest and you'll see.''
| |
| Haytham climbed to the crow's nest of the vessel and caught his first glimpse of America.
| |
|
| |
| ==Outcome==
| |
| Despite a rough journey, Haytham safely reached Boston, allowing him to start his search for the [[Isu|First Civilization]] storehouse.
| |
|
| |
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The song sung by sailors in the beginning is 'Haul on the bowline', a popular [[Sea shanties|sea shanty]].
| |
| *The memory spanned [[72]] days.
