A Spot of Tea
A Spot of Tea was a virtual representation of one of Jacob Frye's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Description
Jacob trailed the Cockham Merchants weapons shipment to its destination to uncover the identity of "Plutus".
Dialogue
Jacob met with Abberline at the Thames.
- Abberline: If only I knew what shipment it was, then I could trace the weapons to their owner.
- Jacob: Capital idea, Freddy. Here we are - the shipping docks. Now where are the Cockham crates intended for Mr. Plutus?
Jacob searched two carts.
- Blighter 1: I see all them tea crates.
- Blighter 2: Hah. Guns in tea. I'd rather have guns in ale.
- Blighter 1: Anyone would think we're having a giant tea party.
- Blighter 3: Can you imagine if them tea crates went up? The Thames would be one hell of a brew, wouldn't it?
- Blighter 4: A tea party with fireworks.
- Blighter 3: All we need is sandwiches and cake.
- Jacob: Tea. Maybe later.
- Blighter 5: Crazy, isn't it? Anyone would think we were teetotalers judging by what's in those crates.
- Blighter 6: That's just it. In madness there is genius.
- Jacob: Where the devil is it?
Jacob found the weapons in the third cart.
- Jacob: Hello.
He marked the cart with his Hidden Blade.
- Jacob: And now to wait for the crates to be delivered...
And now to wait for the crates to be retrieved...
Jacob ascended a nearby warehouse and waited for the cargo to depart.
- Blighter 7: Don’t want them tea leaves turned to dust, do we!
- Blighter 8: Protect these crates. Any mistake will cost you dearly.
- Blighter 7: Keep your knickers on. We hear ya.
- Blighter 8: Good. Because I ain't repeating myself.
- Jacob: It's a shame I can't stop in for a pint...
Jacob tailed the cart.
- Jacob: Damn this fog.
They're nervous. I should keep my distance.
The cart stopped at a checkpoint.
- Blighter 9: How's the ride?
- Blighter 10: Quiet. I don't like it.
- Blighter 9: Scared of ghosts are you?
- Blighter 10: No, Sir.
- Blighter 9: Good. Move on. We'll keep an eye on you.
- Blighter 11: Keep quiet!
- Blighter 10: Watch the road!
- Jacob: I bet Greenie's tailing Evie right about now. Good luck.
My dear sister thinks I'm destroying things... I'll show her how I settle accounts...
Jacob followed the cart to another checkpoint, where the two Blighters driving it left and another man took the reins.
- Templar: Hello. Is the tea ready to be served?
- Blighter 12: Right. We have our special blend.
- Templar: Pleasure doing business with Cockham Merchants.
- Blighter 13: Oi! Where's our money?
- Templar: Delivery will be tomorrow.
- Blighter 12: It better be.
- Jacob: Templars.
Jacob followed the cart.
- Jacob: Ah yes, lead me to Mr. Plutus.
The cart arrived at its destination.
- Blighter 14: The weapons are here!
- Templar: Same routine as before. Twopenny opens the vault, we robs it and leaves the money in his storehouse. Look sharp, the boys are waiting.
- Blighter 14: To the Bank of England! Yeah!
The Blighter shook the reins.
- Jacob: Plutus is Twopenny.
Outcome
Jacob learned that "Plutus" was Philip Twopenny.
