Storylines
Part 1 of 1 in Sequence 2: A Simple Plan
Good to know
- Sequence 2, memory 1 of 1; global story order 2; played as Evie Frye.
- Location: a Templar facility near Croydon, reached by train.
- Date in the memory: 10 February 1868, the same night as A Spanner in the Works.
- Target: Sir David Brewster, a Templar scientist (and inventor of the kaleidoscope, as one guard points out).
- Optional objectives: air assassinate Brewster; kill 5 enemies with hanging barrels.
- Lucy Thorne visits Brewster and pressures him for results.
Objectives
Work forward along the train past guards and a family of stowaways, then uncouple the locomotive to cause a diversion. Climb a tower for a view of the yard, where you watch Thorne and Brewster argue. Inside the main building, free an interrogated prisoner, who tells you the lab is underground and needs a key. Steal the key from the guard carrying it, find the hidden entrance in the train yard and take the lift down.
The laboratory
Brewster and his assistant Reynolds are running electricity through the artefact. Reach him from above for the optional air assassination. After the kill you have a short escape: run, slide and crawl through falling debris before the room collapses. If you are too slow, Evie is crushed and the memory restarts.
