Lively Havana

Lively Havana was a virtual representation of one of Edward Kenway's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst in 2013 at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus Omega.

Description

Having arrived in Havana, Edward followed Stede Bonnet to a meeting, hoping to find a place to stay.

Dialogue

• Stede: Ah... lively Havana! I've been here once before. It was a truly awe-ful pleasure.
• Edward: See someone you know?
• Stede: No, no, no. Just putting on a friendly face. I shouldn't want to be mistaken for a pirate again.
• Edward: Right. Flash rogue like yourself must be cautious.
• Stede: It's mad to think Spain and England were at war two years ago, isn't it? Here I am, bartering with Spaniards like they were my cousins. Something wrong, Duncan?
• Edward: No. It's nothing. Sand in my hampers. So where's the best squat in town? I'm dying for a quick kip. Or a siesta, should I say?

Edward motioning Stede to lead

• Stede: Um... I'm just headed to a ... a public house now to meet some merchants. I could... I could show you the way.
• Edward: Well, lead on.
• Stede: I hope you'll tarry a bit while I conduct my meeting. It would be a great relief to have a man of your stature nearby. In case of a... misunderstanding.
• Edward: I can hang about. I might have a drink.
• Stede: Splendid. A drink.

Edward and Stede walked by some gibbet cages with skeletons inside.

• Stede: Gracious! What a revolting sight!
• Edward: Well they don't take kindly to pirates here, do they? Wonder how many stolen reales bought these men this perch?

They walked by a group of dancers.

• Edward: Hola (Hello) ladies.
• Stede: You don't know these women, do you?
• Edward: No—they charge money for that kind of privilege. Few dozen reales for every hour of knowing. Keen to meet them?
• Stede: No! Goodness, no. I am a married man!
• Edward: Married men are their forte, mate.
• Stede: Ah! Here's a purveyor of personal defences! I should acquire a blade for myself, Duncan. Just as you have.
• Edward: This rusty razor is nothing to admire.
• Stede: Even so, I appear a mere kitten walking so close upon you. Perhaps a small dagger would suit me. Let's see what he's selling.
• Edward: Maybe I'll buy a sword too, we'll both jump rank.
• Stede: Ah, we'll be quite the pair, you and I. Twin devils!
• Edward: Lend us a few reales then. I did save your skin.
• Stede: Ah, uh... of course!
• Edward: Cheers.

Edward bought a new pair of swords.

• Edward: That's a better fit for me. How'd you fare?
• Stede: I had only enough for a small knife, sadly. Still, it'll do in a pinch. Oh, puffer-duff... I have led us astray, Duncan.
• Edward: Oh, no matter. I'll get us a better view. What are we looking for?
• Stede: Uh, a tavern! With a sort of courtyard interior.

Edward climbed a church tower.

• Stede: My goodness, you are an agile chap!
• Edward: Every finger's a fishhook! That's how you tell a true sailor.
• Stede: Ah ha! Yes. A fine way to put it.

Edward surveying the area

Edward found a high spot and located the tavern.

• Edward: I think I see the place, it's not far.

Stede was set upon by a pickpocket.

• Stede: Ahh! Stop!
• Robber: Ah! ¡No te resistas, gordinflón! (Stop struggling, fatman!)
• Stede: ¡Para! ¡Para! (Stop! Stop!) Oh! He's robbed me blind! Good God, what do I do?
• Edward: Hang tight!
• Stede: Oh, I can't breathe. I think my heart has stopped.
• Edward: Stop or I'll break your knees when I catch you!
  I'm close at heel, shitbird!
  Here I come!
  Don't make me chase you into the harbor!

Edward chased and tackled the pickpocket.

• Edward: You robbed the wrong man, mate. A fellow with dangerous friends.

Edward returned to Bonnet.

• Stede: Duncan, by Jove, you're alive.
• Edward: Of course I am. That filch was no fuss.
• Stede: Ah, we've arrived.
• Edward: Take your time. I'll be just here.
• Patron: Fancy meeting a Welshman deep in Dago country. I'm English meself. Biding my time 'til the next war calls me to service.
• Edward: Lucky King George having a piss-pot like you flying his flag.

A patron accusing Edward of piracy

• Patron: Oy! Skulk! I seen your face before. You's mates with them pirates down in Nassau.
• Edward: Shut your fucking gob or I fill it with shot. You hear me?
• Patron: Edward, is it?

Edward headbutted the man, knocking him out, then kneed him in the groin and tossed him onto a table, shattering it on impact.

• Man: You bastard!
• Edward: Hey, I warned him...

Another patron swung his fist into Edward's face, starting a bar brawl.

• Edward: You want a dust-up, I'll give you one.
  Come on lads! I've seen bigger arms on a bird!
  One more! Come on!

Several Spanish guards stormed into the tavern.

• Soldier 1: ¡Despejad la zona! (Clear the road!)
• Citizen 1: ¡Vienen soldados! (Soldiers are coming!)
• Citizen 2: ¡Corre! (Run!)
• Stede: You—You're not leaving me?
• Edward: I'll catch you up!
• Soldier 2: ¡Perro inglés! (English dog!)

Edward escaped from the Spanish soldiers.

Outcome

After rearming himself with new swords and scouting the area, Edward stopped Stede from being robbed, but then left him in a tavern to escape from Spanish soldiers following a bar brawl.
