Royal Misfortune

Royal Misfortune was a virtual representation of one of Edward Kenway's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus.

Description
Trying to make amends for his past mistakes, Edward set out to kill Bartholomew Roberts and recover the Observatory artifact.

Dialogue
Edward sailed to Principe, where they came across the wreckage of a ship. Edward went ashore to find his target. However, Roberts spotted him and boarded his ship to flee. Edward killed Roberts.
 * Anne: Captain! Here's one still kicking!
 * Edward: Who did this?
 * Sailor: It were a large vessel. The Royal Fortune.
 * Edward: Roberts.
 * Sailor: Offered no quarter. Didn't say nothing.
 * Anne: Come on now! Captain's aboard! Man all canvas! Let's move! The way is blocked, captain! We'll have to find another path! Steer clear of that, captain! There's Spanish ships there, captain! This'll be a mess if we don't hurry. We're in a maelstrom, captain!
 * Edward: Beats working behind a bar, don't it?
 * Anne: Shall we sink his ship, captain? We've a better than even chance!
 * Edward: No. There's a device with him that needs taking. I'll have to board her myself.
 * Roberts: Man the guns! There's more fodder for ya coming! By jove, Edward Kenway! How can I not be impressed by the attention you've paid me! May the best of we two sing praises of the second!
 * Roberts: A merry life and a short one, as promised. How well I know myself. And what of you, Edward? Have you found the peace you seek?
 * Edward: I'm not aiming so high as that. For what's peace but a confusion between two wars?
 * Roberts: You're a stoic then! Perhaps I was wrong about you. She might have had some use for you after all.
 * Edward: She? Of whom do you speak?
 * Roberts: Oh... she who lies in wait. I had hoped to find her, to see her again. To open the door of the temple and hear her speak my name once more. Aita...
 * Edward: Talk sense, man.
 * Roberts: I was born too soon, like so many others before.
 * Edward: Where's the device, Roberts?
 * Roberts: Destroy this body, Edward. The Templars... if they take me...

Outcome
Edward managed to assassinate the Sage Bartholomew Roberts and he recovered the Observatory mechanism.
