The Berlin Specimen
The Berlin Specimen 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
The Frye twins visited Charles Darwin in the Strand.
Dialogue
- Darwin: Iris versicolor, commonly known as "Harlequin Blueflag".
Lithocarpus... fagus sylvatica... ulmus minor... taxus baccata... Ah... Er...
The Frye twins approached Darwin.
- Darwin: I didn't know you had a twin sister, Mr. Frye.
- Evie: Evie Frye, sir. It's a pleasure.
- Darwin: Usually, I would reciprocate the sentiment, Miss Frye, but today I am afraid nothing will bring me pleasure.
- Evie: What's troubling you, sir?
- Darwin: I am used to people challenging my ideas, in fact, I live for it... The cut and thrust of spirited debate! Lately, however, attacks against my reputation have taken a darker turn. Threats of violence against my person and against my colleagues. I do not wish anyone to be hurt because of my research...
- Jacob: You helped me with Starrick's Syrup. I am in your debt.
- Darwin: We help each other, sir.
- Evie: My brother and I will make sure that you can continue your work in peace.
Darwin then gave them their first task.
- Darwin: What do you know of bones?
- Jacob: I know how much pressure it takes to shatter, snap, or splinter one.
- Darwin: Mmm... Perhaps it would be simpler if I just explained the situation... A few days ago, a German colleague, Dr. Schwartz, sent me a telegram. He informed me he was on his way to London to deliver a very important fossil, you see. In fact, he should arrive at Charing Cross any moment now. Would you ensure no harm comes to him?
- Jacob: I'll bring Dr. Schwartz and that fossil to you, Mr. Darwin.
- Darwin: Splendid! But please do be careful...
Evie's reaction would be slightly different.
- Darwin: What do you know of bones?
- Evie: Only a few of their names, learned from books.
- Darwin: Mmm... Perhaps it would be simpler if I just explained the situation... A few days ago, a German colleague, Dr. Schwartz, sent me a telegram. He informed me he was on his way to London to deliver a very important fossil, you see. In fact, he should arrive at Charing Cross any moment now. Would you ensure no harm comes to him?
- Evie: I'll ensure Dr. Schwartz's safety and makes sure you get that fossil.
- Darwin: Splendid! But please do be careful...
Jacob or Evie made their way to the station and kidnapped Dr. Schwartz.
- Schwartz: What is the meaning of this?
- Jacob: I'm collecting you and your precious cargo for our friend, Mr. Darwin. Just act naturally.
- Evie: Mr. Darwin has sent me to ensure you reach him safely, with your cargo intact. Just act naturally.
Schwartz complied.
- Schwartz: Right... So how is your father? By which I mean my dear brother Franck, with whom I grew up, of course.
