Prodigal Daughter

Prodigal Daughter was virtual representation of one of Aveline de Grandpré's genetic memories.

Description

Aveline returned home from her journey to Mexico, and was greeted by Gérald Blanc - who immediately sent her out to investigate bribings in New Orleans.

Dialogue

• Gérald: Aveline! I--
• Aveline: Gérald! You look as though you've seen a ghost. I left Chichen Itza the moment it was secure.
• Gérald: Then you were... successful?
• Aveline: De Ferrer... will no longer trouble us.
• Gérald: But there is more to this story.
• Aveline: Always...
• Gérald: I have much to tell you as well. The Spanish are... sympathetic to our aims now. New laws may... ease your efforts to help the slaves.
• Aveline: Could it be that for the first time, home holds more comfort than conflict?
• Gérald: With you back, it feels like home again. I'm afraid I must now spoil your homecoming with... business. There has been... strange activity. Men in Spanish uniforms raising havoc in the bayou.
• Aveline: Still? I thought you said Spanish interests are now aligned with ours.
• Gérald: That's what makes it so... strange.
• Aveline: Are they secretly working for--
• Gérald: That's what we need to find out. I have one lead. An informant has seen a man bribing soldiers in town. For whom?
• Aveline: I'll investigate.
• Gérald: Aveline, aren't you forgetting something?
• Aveline: Please Gérald--now is not the time...
• Gérald: I er... uh... merely meant to give you--
• Aveline: Oh... er... Thank you. It's been too long.

With her weapons now restored to her, Aveline went out to locate the recruiter. She then tailed him.

• Recruiter: As you can see, my employer is prepared to be very generous.
• Guard: So it seems.
• Recruiter: Then you will join our cause?
• Guard: Si. (Yes.)
• Recruiter: Stop her.

Aveline chased the recruiter, who had spotted her, but he escaped into a fort.

Outcome

Aveline chased the briber, but he got away.
