The Way the Wind Blows

The Way the Wind Blows was a virtual representation of one of Shay Cormac's genetic memories, relived through the Helix.

Description
The Assassin Shay Cormac pursued a target on Port-Menier.

Dialogue
Shay chased his target, using the trees to stay above them. His prey came to a halt near the beach. Shay attempted an air assassination, but his target dodged the attack. Shay and Liam's conversation was interrupted by the sound of distant cannonfire. Shay caught up with Liam. Shay and Liam reached Chevalier's camp. Chevalier punched Shay, starting a fistfight between the two. Liam intervened. Liam handed Shay a sword and parrying dagger. Shay and Liam reached the British camp. Liam knocked out a guard. Shay eliminated the guard and freed the smuggler. Liam assassinated a guard from a haystack, before continuing forward. Shay eliminated the remaining guards and freed two more smugglers. British ships sailed past. Shay climbed aboard the French ship docked near the shore, killed the British guards and freed the last smugglers. More guards immediately emerged from below deck, surrounding the Assassin. Liam and Chevalier then appeared, assisting Shay in taking out the reinforcements. Shay took the helm and set a course for Chevalier's ship, the Gerfaut. Shay and his fellow Assassins witnessed the Gerfaut being attacked by British ships. Shay sank the enemy ships. Chevalier departed in a rowboat.
 * Assassin: Well, we won't lack for firewood at least.
 * Shay: Admit it, I nearly had you!
 * Liam: Nearly counts for nothing, Shay. And besides, no... that was just luck.
 * Shay: I make my own luck, Liam.
 * Liam: Ah, you've been saying that for years, but you've precious little to show for it. Or have you been spending it all getting out of trouble?
 * Shay: Well you know, trouble just follows me around.
 * Liam: Let's head back. Come on! Captain de la Verendrye and his crew must have run into some trouble. Who knew meeting with smugglers would lead to no good?
 * Shay: I still don't understand why you can't tell me what we're doing here.
 * Liam: Because Chevalier decided not to tell you.
 * Shay: I thought we were friends, Liam.
 * Liam: We are, but this is business. It doesn't concern you, Shay. Am I going too fast for you?
 * Shay: I'm just keeping my eye on you in case you fall down and hurt yourself.
 * Liam: Hurry! We best not keep Chevalier waiting.
 * Chevalier: (Shit! Where are those idiots?) Hold it together men! We will find a way off this island. Look to those wounds, young man.
 * Chevalier: (What the - ) Where the hell were you two?
 * Shay: We were out hunting. What happened here?
 * Chevalier: My men were attacked by some English sea dogs!
 * Shay: Why Captain Joseph, couldn't you fight them all off by yourself like you're always saying?
 * Chevalier: It is (Captain) Louis-Joseph Gaulthier, Chevalier de La Verendrye. And you are dreaming if you think any training could make you into a proper Assassin. Do you even know what that means? It means being responsible for an ancient and proud tradition. It means obeying your Mentor without question. How else will we ensure freedom for the human race?
 * Shay: Them's pretty words, Chevalier, but I don't feel too free at the moment.
 * Chevalier: Well then feel educated, urgh!
 * Chevalier: (Come, Come!) I will teach you some manners, boy. How dare you show me such disrespect! Your irresponsible wretch! You simpleton! You rot-brained cabbage farmer!
 * Liam: Gentlemen, stop! We've got a common enemy and I reckon he's close.
 * Chevalier: The Royal Navy attacked my vessel and forced my men to flee! We are stranded, and what is worse, the smugglers we were supposed to meet have been taken prisoner.
 * Liam: Shay and I will free those smugglers, you treat your wounded.
 * Liam: Take these, you'll need them. Tread with care, Shay. The Royal Navy will be ready for us. Remember your training.
 * Liam: Ready to teach them a lesson?
 * Shay: They don't stand a chance.
 * Guard 1: Where are your mates now, you bilge rat?
 * Shay: Not bad.
 * Guard 1: Talk before I bash out your brains! We will find them and let them bury what's left of you.
 * Smuggler 1: Thank you!
 * Guard 2: Keep an eye out, lads. Their pals are still out there somewhere.
 * Shay: There he goes again.
 * Smuggler: Many thanks, I thought I'd be hanged!
 * Guard 3: Happy hunting, lads!
 * Guard 4: Set her ablaze!
 * Guard 5: Sink that French vessel!
 * Guard 6: She's no match for you!
 * Shay: I was saving those fellows for you.
 * Liam: Very thoughtful.
 * Chevalier: Maybe you are not completely useless, Shay.
 * Shay: Speaking of useless, those blockheads won't be needing this vessel anymore.
 * Chevalier: This pile of (shit?) You want her, Shay, she is yours. Now bring me back to my ship.
 * Liam: You heard Chevalier. This vessel is yours, Shay. Go on, take the wheel.
 * Liam: Some of the men you rescued agreed to join us. They should prove a good crew.
 * Chevalier: I am not so certain about their captain, but next to me you are the most experienced sailor in the Brotherhood, Shay. Besides, we could use another vessel, even this pitiful one.
 * Shay: She's mine, ain't she? My own ship.
 * Chevalier: Your own pile of garbage, yes.
 * Shay: Ah, with a lick of paint and a few new cannons, she'll look as fine as anything on the seven seas.
 * Liam: Shall we begin, Captain?
 * Shay: Indeed, Mate!
 * Chevalier: (Idiots...)
 * Shay: She's a mess, but she's still afloat. And her name's the Morrigan.
 * Chevalier: (Morrigan)... The silly fairy queen who ruined Merlin the Wise. Oh oh... she's perfect for you, Shay.
 * Liam: The Morrigan was an old goddess, she's the queen of War and Darkness. She harvested the souls of fallen warriors. Perfect indeed.
 * Chevalier: (My God!) My ship! (Those bastards!) They will sink her!
 * Liam: Let's put the Morrigan to the test, Captain Shay.
 * Shay: Ready for battle, men!
 * Chevalier: Stop them, boy! They're tearing her to pieces! Do something! My ship!
 * Chevalier: It seems this vessel is battle-ready after all. I will return to what is left of Le Gerfaut. It is a long way home, and we have repairs to do.
 * Shay: Sing hearty, lads. Chevalier is pleased with us!
 * Liam: What course would you have me set, Shay?
 * Shay: Time to report back to the Mentor, wouldn't you agree?
 * Liam: Wise words, Captain. Wise words.

Outcome
After rescuing the captured smugglers and acquiring a ship for himself, Shay prevented Chevalier's vessel from being destroyed by British attackers.
