The Chase

The Chase was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description

Following the reports from Amanda Bailey, Connor and Robert Faulkner set out on the Aquila to investigate some disturbances near Martha's Vineyard.

Dialogue

• Robert: Ah, it's good to be at sea again! But I don't much like that sky.
• Connor: Even a pretty sunrise is a bad omen to you, Mister Faulkner. Where are these raiders?
• Robert: By guess and by God an Easterly course - t'wards the coast. Miss Mandy reports of some British boats gathering somewhere in these rocks, threatenin' the Vineyard.
• Crew: Sails ahoy!
• Robert: British gunboats after one of the Vineyard's ships captain! We must protect her! Draw their fire, captain! We need to keep the gunboats off 'er till she reacher the Vineyard pier!

The Aquila followed the merchant ship and came across a minefield.

• Robert: Mines, captain! Destroy 'em or use 'em to our advantage. Either way, avoid the blasted things!
• Connor: To our advantage? How?
• Robert: Shoot the bloomin' things with the swivels when our targets get too close.

The Aquila followed the merchant ship.

• Robert: She should be safe now but it's a hot chase. Get after them and end the threat on the Vineyard. They've veered north. Naught there but an abandoned fort.

The Aquila reached the fort.

• Crew: FORT! FORT!
• Robert: That lobcock shouldn't be there! And it's too close to the Vineyard! Time and tide waits for no man! Take out her towers! Gotta avoid the mortars, sir!

The Aquila destroyed the towers of Fort Phoenix.

• Robert: That fort won't be troubling anybody no-more. Bloody English have gone too far this time.
• Connor: That is the problem. What reason would the English have to threaten Martha's vineyard? It has no strategic value and its people remain peaceful. I fear an influence of a different kind saw to this.
• Robert: Templars.
• Connor: But what they intend, I do not know.
• Robert: Your orders?
• Connor: I need time to piece things together. We set a course for home.
• Robert: Aye aye.

Outcome

Fort Phoenix was destroyed, ending the threat to Martha's Vineyard.
