A Rich Bounty
A Rich Bounty was a virtual representation of one of Alonzo Batilla's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus Omega.[1]
Description[edit | edit source]
Taking a break from the main priorities of his adventure, Alonzo found himself in Cozumel and came upon a prize worth plundering.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Alonzo struck up a conversation with Jumao from the Wanderer's helm.
- Alonzo: These waters are ripe with prizes, my friend... I can sense it!
- Jumao: The juiciest are the Portuguese ships. Few of them around here... but overflowing with riches!
- Alonzo: How do you spot one?
- Jumao: Look for green and white flags, captain!
Alonzo used his spyglass to scan nearby ships and saw one owned by a Portuguese merchant.
- Alonzo: A big fat cow, this one!... I'll milk every last drop out of her!
- Jumao: We should be cautious... if her captain sees us too soon, he'll put a distance between us!
- Alonzo: What's wrong, friend? Lost faith in your captain's skills? We'll hunt her like a lion hunts game... and only jump when the time is right!
Alonzo followed the ship undetected, avoiding the nearby patrols until the waters flowed into a canyon, where a schooner had run aground.
- Jumao: This captain's clever!... The canyon is too narrow for us not to be noticed!
- Alonzo: I won't let this one slip away! We'll use this Royal Navy schooner. Once aboard that ship... No-one will figure us for pirates!
Alonzo swiftly commandeered the HMS Drake and used it to maneuver around lookouts before pulling up beside his mark to board it. Suddenly, a Man O' War blocked him.
- Alonzo: What in the devil's name!... Has this monster appeared from the sea?!
The pirate hunter Alvaro introduced himself.
- Alvaro: From the dark corners of your greedy soul, pirate!... And this time, your appetite will be your doom!
- Alonzo: Who are you?... You look like a greedy man yourself!
- Alvaro: I am... but stealing does nothing to satiate me! Quite the opposite, I must say!
- Alonzo: A pirate hunter, eh?... What bounty are you after, dog?
- Alvaro: A man named Jumao is on board your ship... Hand him over and you'll be unharmed!
- Alonzo: I'd rather fight the king of France than hand over my brother to a snake like you!
- Alvaro: Then you and your brother will die.
Alvaro had his three gun decks fire their full batteries three times, but Alonzo dodged every attack. Jumao called on him to shoot the ship's weak spots.
- Jumao: Fire on its weak sections, Alonzo! This is our only chance!
Alonzo used his swivel gun to blast three weak areas on Alvaro's ship.
- Alvaro: I won't let you escape, pirate!
- Alonzo: Do you think I need your permission, old man?!
- Alvaro: I'll hunt you down... and when I catch you, you'll swallow your pride along with your tongue!
- Alonzo: I'm sure we would both enjoy that! Let's see if you can keep up!
Speeding forth, Alonzo successfully evaded Alvaro's pursuit.
- Jumao: That was a close call, Alonzo! This bounty hunter almost had us...
- Alonzo: Why was he so keen on capturing you?... Dead or alive?
- Jumao: ...There's blood on my hands, captain...
- Alonzo: Whose blood?
- Jumao: White blood... The men sent after me when I escaped the plantation... Men from rich families... eager to pay a large bounty to get their revenge on a cheap slave like me!
- Alonzo: The only people who'll have their revenge will be us, my friend... when we come face to face with this hunter!
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Despite failing to take his target, Alonzo commandeered the HMS Drake for his later use, escaped the pirate hunter Alvaro, and learned Alvaro was sent to recapture Jumao, a former plantation slave.
