Defamation
Defamation 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
Jacob or Evie met with the biologist Charles Darwin, who asked them to fetch a newspaper for him.
Dialogue
One of the Frye twins visited Charles Darwin.
- Darwin: My young friend! Today's papers carry a rebuttal of Mr. Owen's slanderous and ignorant remarks about my work. However, I'm feeling quite like a fossil today. Would you be a dear and get me a copy of the newspaper?
Jacob or Evie headed to the street vendor, who was being harassed by a member of the Blighters.
- Vendor: Take whatever you want! Help me!
Jacob or Evie intervened.
- Jacob: Hey! you!
- Evie: Stop that!
After a lengthy chase through the streets of London, during which they encountered several obstructions, Jacob or Evie managed to tackle the thug, simultaneously saving him from an oncoming train.
- Thug: You... You saved my life!
- Jacob: Yes. Now here's a question for you: Why would you attack a newsboy?
- Thug: A man paid me and my mates to force newsboys to display this leaflet! Here! Take the bloody thing and leave me alone!
- Jacob: This spells trouble for Mr. Darwin.
Evie's reponse would be slightly different.
- Thug: You... You saved my life!
- Evie: Correct... Now tell me: why have you attacked the newsboy?
- Thug: A man paid me and my mates to force newsboys to display this leaflet! Here! Take the bloody thing and leave me alone!
- Evie: Mr. Darwin will want to hear about this...
Outcome
Jacob or Evie discovered evidence of a slanderous campaign being orchestrated against Darwin.
