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

Description
Pearl Attaway tasked Jacob with stealing a set of internal combustion engines from the Millner Company.

Dialogue
Jacob entered Attaway's moving carriage. Attaway gave Jacob a document. As Jacob was about to leave, Attaway stopped him. Jacob made his way to a police convoy escorting Ned Wynert. Jacob hijacked the carriage Ned was in. Jacob opened the doors to the carriage. Ned laughed. Jacob, Ned and a group of Rooks stole another train and prepared to attack Millner's train. Jumping aboard Millner's train, Jacob searched the crates for the engines. After finding the engines, Jacob detached the cargo wagon and defended Ned from the guards aboar Millner's train. Jacob opened a crate holding an engine, which he and Ned inspected. Jacob gave Ned the document he had received from Attaway.
 * Attaway: Mr. Frye! I told you to make an appointment.
 * Jacob: My schedule was open.
 * Attaway: You're fortunate I like you.
 * Jacob: "Internal combustion engines"?
 * Attaway: Eight small syllables that mean a great deal of money. The engines will be delivered to Millner by train. Secure them for me and he will be... devastated.
 * Jacob: I'll need a second train to pull this off... And I think I know just the man.
 * Attaway: So we have a deal, Mr. Frye?
 * Jacob: "You're fortunate I like you", Ms. Attaway.
 * Policeman 1: The Captain's been looking for you for some time, Wynert.
 * Ned: There are laws against arresting an innocent?
 * Policeman 1: Shut your trap!
 * Ned: What the hell's going on out there?
 * Jacob: A change of plans, that's what's going on!
 * Ned: Frye? God damn it! Where do you come off rescuing me?
 * Jacob: I believe it's pronounced "thank you", you ingrate!
 * Ned: I operate on a strict policy of keeping people indebted to me, not the other way around. I hate having to return favors!
 * Jacob: I could leave you here for the police to collect you.
 * Ned: No, it's too late now. Just get us out of here.
 * Ned: So, what do you want, Frye?
 * Jacob: What makes you so sure I want something? Perhaps I saved you out of the kindness of my own heart.
 * Jacob: Come on, let me tell you about the job.
 * Ned: Millner's pulling a lot of cargo there!
 * Jacob: Just be sure to make the transfer!
 * Ned: Give 'em hell! Hurry up, man! We don't have all day! Get cracking! Get a move on, Frye!
 * Jacob: Not this one! Not what I'm after! Here we go!
 * Ned: All right, boys and girls! You know what to do! What are you waiting for, friends? Get moving!
 * Jacob: The internal combustion engine. The end of horse-drawn transport. It's like gazing into the future.
 * Ned: And what is the going rate for the future, do you think?
 * Jacob: Oh, we're not selling them.
 * Ned: You're giving them to your contact?
 * Jacob: You'll be paid all the same.
 * Ned: Who is this Pearl, anyway? How long have you been working with her?
 * Jacob: She's a business partner. That's all you need to know.

Outcome
After freeing Ned Wynert from the police, Jacob was able to steal Millner's internal combustion engines for Attaway.
