Unnatural Selection

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

Description
Jacob searched for the creator of Starrick's Soothing Syrup by investigating its distillery.

Dialogue
Jacob observed an elderly man attempting to see through the distillery window by standing on top of a crate. The man was forced to hide when a group of Blighters neared. As Jacob was about to unlock the door to the distillery, the man approached him. Jacob immediately threatened him with his Hidden Blade, but the man simply pushed it away. A group of Blighters passed nearby. Breaking its padlock, Jacob hurriedly opened the distillery door. After Jacob and the man entered, the former closed the door. They then walked through the distillery. They walked past a large distillery tank. The man inspected a table with various tools and ingredients. The man turned a pressure valve on the distillery tank to destroy it. Gas began to emit from the tank. As the man made his way out, Jacob turned the other pressure valves before pulling a lever to destroy the tank. He then jumped out of the now burning building through a window. Jacob and Darwin shook hands. Darwin took out a book.
 * Blighter 2: Keep a sharp eye out, lads. Someone's targeting our network. The distillery might be next.
 * Jacob: This will complicate things.
 * Darwin: You should not go about frightening respectable gentlemen, young man.
 * Jacob: I didn't realize snooping around was considered gentlemanly.
 * Darwin: Snooping? Sir, I assure you-
 * Blighter 2: Keep vigilant!
 * Jacob: Quick! Inside.
 * Darwin: That was too close a call. You, young man, gave me quite a fright! I thought you were one of them, but I realize now why you're here. Same reason I am, I imagine...
 * Jacob: "I imagine"?
 * Darwin: You should see this.
 * Darwin: A rather impressive contraption, wouldn't you say?
 * Jacob: I've seen bigger.
 * Darwin: Datura stramonium. Or Devil's snare, as it is commonly called... That goes into the Syrup? And opium, no less. Revolting! Absolutely sickening!
 * Darwin: A favourable way to proceed, wouldn't you agree?
 * Darwin: Oh dear.
 * Jacob: Find a way out of here! Quickly!
 * Darwin: What about the other valves?
 * Jacob: Take a wild guess.
 * Darwin: Very well, young man.
 * Jacob: Every man for himself!
 * Darwin: Well done, young man! Well done! Charles Darwin. Delighted to make your acquaintance.
 * Jacob: Jacob Frye. The pleasure's all mine.
 * Darwin: While you were busy wreaking havoc, I found this.
 * Darwin: It indicates that a sample of every batch has been sent to Lambeth Asylum.
 * Jacob: Oh, I wonder if it's visiting hours...
 * Darwin: Don't be so hasty, Mr. Frye. Many people work at Lambeth, you wouldn't want to attract unwanted attention.
 * Jacob: Hmm, where's the fun in that?
 * Darwin: Not every problem can be solved by blowing things sky high. Sometimes, a little discretion is in order. It's getting late. I will meet you at the asylum to continue our investigation.

Outcome
Jacob met Charles Darwin. Together, they destroyed the production of Starrick's Soothing Syrup, and Darwin latter discovered that samples of the syrup were sent to Lambeth Asylum.
