Storming the Fort

Storming the Fort was a virtual representation of one of Aveline de Grandpré's genetic memories.

Description

Aveline and Élise set out to infiltrate the fort.

Dialogue

• Élise: Now's our best chance. The highest ranking man I've seen is a teniènte (lieutenant). He's lightly protected, but the fort is so big, we'll need to be smart to find him.
• Aveline: I think we can handle that.
• Élise: Oui (Yes). One thing confuses me. What would the Spanish want with the people of San Danje? Why them? Why now?
• Aveline: This isn't the first time I've detected irregular activity around the Spanish. When they were first taking over, I stumbled on a plot to control the gouverneur and divert slaves to some underground project.
• Élise: And?
• Aveline: I thought I made sure it wouldn't happen again.
• Élise: Let's go make doubly sure.

Aveline silently eliminated the guards, after which they entered the fort and Aveline chased the lieutenant, eventually killing him.

• Élise: I suppose interrogation's out of the question now.
• Aveline: There are quicker ways to get at the truth.

Aveline then freed the men in the cells.

• Prisoner: Does this mean we won't get to board the work ship?
• Aveline: Work ship? Where is this work ship bound?
• Prisoner: Away from this wretched colony, forever, that's all I know.
• Élise: Alright, everbody out! Come with me.
• Prisoner: I'm going to die in this cesspool of a territory, aren't I?
• Élise: Aveline, you'd better make yourself scarce before you incite any more gratitude. I'll escort these people back to San Danje.

Outcome

Aveline and Élise infiltrated the fort, but discovered little about the plans for the slaves.
