French Involvement

French Involvement was a virtual representation of one of Ratonhnhaké:ton's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description
Connor and Robert Faulkner set out on the Aquila to protect La Belladonna, who had been left without an escort.

Dialogue
Connor then attacked and interrogated the captain. Connor returned to the Aquila. Connor spotted the Randolph.
 * Robert: Our charge, captain. The Belladonna under Roderigue Hortalez and Company. She appears Spanish for intents and purposes, but rest assured she's a French vessel.
 * Sailor: French are bringin' in a boatload of powder and guns for Old Georgie and his Patriots. Some Colonial boats were supposed to escort her up the coast but they left her behind. She been waitin' ever since.
 * Connor: We will make sure Washington gets what he is expecting.
 * Frenchman: Where is le Capitaine? (the captain?)
 * Connor: I am the captain.
 * Frenchman: You are late.
 * Connor: We came as quickly as the wind allowed.
 * Frenchman: Too slow.
 * Connor: And what happened to your escort?
 * Frenchman: Le Randolph started with us then departed without warning. Typique. (Typical.) This is why le Lieutenant insisted I come aboard. Partons. (Let's go.)
 * Robert: We'll go when we're good and bloody ready.
 * Frenchman: Quoi? (What?)
 * Robert: The Atlantic is a dangerous place for a lone ship, especially one laden with such desirable stock. You must be glad to see us.
 * Frenchman: Bof. It is hot here. My Lieutenant is not excited for the cold of the North.
 * Robert: Is this man being serious?
 * Connor: Keep a sharp eye, Mister Faulkner. Anybody searching for the Belladonna could be upon us in an instant with this fog.
 * Robert: Aye, captain. I've got a monkey's fist in my gut.
 * Crew: English are on us, cap'n!
 * Frenchman: The power of the French Navy is clear!
 * Robert: They picked the wrong ship to pirate. Why in God's name are the English here in such force?
 * Connor: I do not know but we must get the Belladonna out of this fog.
 * Frenchman: Why are there so many?
 * Connor: It does not matter! We fight!
 * Robert: Aye. We're sitting ducks on the pond in this soup and you can be sure they've more on the way.
 * Frenchman: But what can we do?
 * Robert: Naught but pray they don't find us again.
 * Crew: MAN-O-WAR!
 * Frenchman: Grand Dieu! (Good God!) La Belladonna's mainmast is down, capitaine! (captain!) We must stay close to her!
 * Robert: Bloody hell! Pummel that leviathan!
 * Connor: No! We board her. I must know how the English knew about the Belladonna. We take her a prize, men!
 * Frenchman: Board her? Es-tu fou? (Are you crazy?)
 * Robert: Hook us in! Bring her close! To arms! To arms!
 * Clutterbuck: Man the swivels! Cover from the quarter deck!
 * Robert: Secure the aft lines! Tie off the bow!
 * Connor: How does the British Command know about the Belladonna?
 * Captain: British Command knows nothing of this.
 * Connor: Then how are you here?
 * Captain: We were lead here by a Patriot. Nicholas Biddle.
 * Connor: Who does Biddle work for?
 * Captain: I think you know, Assassin.
 * Robert: What did the captain tell you?
 * Connor: Nicholas Biddle led them here. He set --
 * Connor: The Randolph.
 * Robert: The Randolph?! Beat to quarters!!
 * Connor: Belay that order! He is putting us to his rudder. We cannot leave the Belladonna undefended.
 * Robert: But sir!
 * Connor: She is incapacitated and vulnerable. Let him go. We will see each other again soon.

Outcome
La Belladonna was saved, and Connor's suspicions about Biddle were confirmed.

Trivia

 * To achieve full synchronization, four constraints had to be completed: La Belladonna's damage had to be limited to fifty percent, the officer had to be killed within sixty seconds, the Aquila had to sink more ships than the ten sunk by La Belladonna, and all previous constraints had to be completed in one playthrough.
