The Terror of London was a virtual representation of one of Jacob Frye and Evie Frye's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Description
Charles Dickens learned that Spring-Heeled Jack had returned and alerted one of the Frye twins.
Dialogue
- Dickens: Thank goodness you're here! Impossible as it may sound, Spring Heeled Jack has returned! We need to do something before the unthinkable happens!
- Jacob: I thought we'd already dealt with this nonsense.
- Evie: He did say that we had not seen the last of the Spring-heeled villain...
- Dickens: There may be more to this than we originally thought.

They witnessed a criminal attacking a civilian. The Assassin immediately took action.
- Victim: Get away from me you monster!
- Jacob: You there! Stop what you're doing.
- Evie: Stop!
However, Spring-Heeled Jack threw a smoke bomb and ran away, with the Assassin chasing him across the rooftops. However, every time the Assassin fought him, the former would seemingly vanish and teleport.
- Jack: You'll have to do better than that!
I am a ghost. A fiend! A terror in the night!
I am a ghost! The falling of feet of a devil on the air.
Long have I stalked the streets of London
I am the terror of London!
No weapon forged by man can harm me!
No one is safe from my beastly claws.
You can't hurt me!

Eventually, Spring-Heeled Jack appeared to split into three duplicates. After two were defeated, the third once more threw a smoke bomb and vanished.
- Jacob: What? How? Where?
- Evie: Vanished! Impossible!
- Jack: Spring Heeled Jack will never die!
The Assassin returned to Dickens and was joined by their sibling.

- Dickens: Thanks to you, the Ghost Club's reputation has grown tremendously! We are a beacon of reason in a world beguiled by superstition.
- Evie: But I believe we have encountered one genuine spirit.
- Dickens: Can you be certain? That's the question. One might surmise that the spirits that haunt us are simply our deepest fears, manifested as apparitions.
- Jacob: Shame. I've always wanted to see a ghost. Or a goblin!
- Dickens: I propose a toast! To the Ghost Club, and the virtuous twins that have aided it: Miss Evie and Mr. Jacob!
- All: Cheers!
Outcome
The Ghost Club failed to uncover the mystery behind the mysterious Spring-Heeled Jack. Nevertheless, Dickens thanked the Frye twins for their help in making the Ghost Club's reputation grow.
