Survival of the Fittest

Survival of the Fittest was a virtual representation of one of Jacob Frye's genetic memories, relived through the Helix Navigator.

Description
With the engines in her possession, Pearl Attaway charged Jacob with assassinating Malcolm Millner.

Dialogue
Jacob entered Attaway's moving carriage. Attaway poured them a glass of champagne. Jacob and Attaway toasted. Jacob gave Attaway his cup and left the carriage. He then crossed the Thames and reached Millner's smuggling boats. Using crates of dynamite, Jacob destroyed the contraband aboard the boats. At the nearby docks, Millner took note of this. Jacob infiltrated the docks. Jacob assassinated Millner. Millner died. Jacob saw Pearl enter a warehouse. Infiltrating the warehouse, Jacob eavesdropped on Attaway Jacob escaped the area.
 * Attaway: Jacob, darling! Do join me!
 * Jacob: To our fruitful partnership.
 * Attaway: And to the shiny new engines now in my possession!
 * Attaway: Back to business. Millner's fled to the Thames - occupied with securing his ferry. It's all he has left.
 * Jacob: Hm, protecting it with his life, no doubt.
 * Attaway: The very thing I want you to take. Just kill him!
 * Jacob: That's not your first glass of champagne, is it?
 * Attaway: Success is more intoxicating than alcohol, Mr. Frye.
 * Jacob: Then save a glass for me.
 * Jacob: Now to sink Millner's enterprise.
 * Millner: What the bloody hell?!
 * Millner: You were supposed to watch over them! What do I pay you oafs for?!
 * Millner: I knew this day would come... Mr. Starrick was furious I lost the engines. So this is my comeuppance...
 * Jacob: Pearl Attaway led me to you, not Starrick.
 * Millner: Then they're working together again. I should never have come between Mr. Starrick and Ms. Attaway. Family always stay together in the end.
 * Jacob: What do you mean, they're family?
 * Jacob: Time for Pearl and I to have a real conversation.
 * Jacob: There you are. What are you up to now, Pearl?
 * Attaway: I was certain he knew that I belonged to the Order and was there to end me. Imagine my delight when he told me his true purpose. An Assassin helping the Templar cause! Isn't that delicious?
 * Starrick: It's sickening.
 * Attaway: It's business, cousin. Look at the big picture. With Millner gone, I own the only omnibus company left in London. We already have a monopoly English transportation; the moment your engines power my buses, we will be legends!
 * Starrick: ''
 * Attaway: You glower too much, cousin. You will get your engines back. Our new motorized buses will bring us both a lot of money.
 * Starrick: I'll need to arrange proper transport for the engines to get back to my factory. I want you at Waterloo, personally, to ensure that nothing goes wrong.
 * Attaway: Of course. May the Father of Understanding guide us.
 * Starrick: Today and in all of our future endeavors, cousin.
 * Jacob: Waterloo station.
 * Blighter 1: ''Door's jammed.
 * Blighter 2: Again? Just give it a shove!

Outcome
After killing Millner, Jacob learned that Attaway was Starrick's cousin and fellow Templar, and that she had manipulated him all along.
