Overdose

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

Description
Having learned that John Elliotson was behind the production of Starrick's Soothing Syrup, Jacob set out to assassinate him.

Dialogue
Jacob met with Charles Darwin outside the Lambeth Asylum where Elliotson worked. Darwin left, whistling cheerfully. Jacob then infiltrated the asylum, where he witnessed Elliotson perform a painful procedure on a patient's brain on front of his students. As Elliotson removed his instrument from the patient's head, the latter died. Elliotson contacted a doctor in the morgue below. Jacob then saw an asylum patient being put through a gruesome electroconvulsive therapy session, as well as a nurse speaking to an asylum guard. The guard took the keys from the nurse's hand. Jacob took the master key from the guard who had taken it from the nurse. He then unlocked the door leading out of the asylum, allowing the nurse to escape. Jacob found the patient being put through electroconvulsive therapy by two guards. Jacob killed the two guards, ending the therapy. He then infiltrated the morgue. The doctor saw Jacob. Jacob hid the corpse that was to be delivered to Elliotson. He then took its place on the stretcher, hiding under the sheet as it was brought before Elliotson. Surprising his target, Jacob rushed out from underneath the sheet and stabbed Elliotson in the head with his Hidden Blade. As Elliotson died, Jacob smeared a handkerchief with his blood. Jacob escaped the asylum. Afterwards, Starrick met with his fellow Templars in his office. A servant gave Starrick his tea. Lucy Thorne entered. Thorne drank a cup of tea.
 * Darwin: Mr. Frye! I trust that you had a productive meeting with Mr. Owen?
 * Jacob: Oh yes, we had a most wonderful chat. I've found that the man behind Starrick's Soothing Syrup is John Elliotson.
 * Darwin: Dr. Elliotson? I haven't heard that name in a long while. He was a brilliant heart specialist, until he became obsessed with and . It ruined his career. Well, how shall we proceed?
 * Jacob: Oh, with all respect, Mr. Darwin, I believe I should proceed alone. After all, we wouldn't want to attract any... "unwanted attention".
 * Darwin: Sounds very wise. Good luck, my boy. Oh, and, Mr. Frye, should you find yourself with any free time, please, do call on me.
 * Jacob: Hmm...
 * Elliotson: Well, as you've just witnessed, the application of too much pressure can sometimes result in... unexpected outcomes. Unfortunately, it appears I've... ruined the organ.
 * Elliotson: Send up a cadaver.
 * Doctor: At once, Dr. Elliotson.
 * Guard 1: I don't care about your ethics! And I care even less about your damned patients. Now hand over your keys!
 * Nurse: What are you doing?!
 * Guard 1: Haven't you heard? You're fired! Now bugger off.
 * Jacob: How to do it?
 * Nurse: Is there anybody out there? Let me out of here!
 * Jacob: What's the matter?
 * Nurse: Young man, help... I must speak with Ms. Nightingale at once! One of the brutes stole my key, and there's no one around, I can't get out of here.
 * Jacob: Stole your key? Don't go anywhere, I might be able to do something.
 * Nurse: Oh, quite, thank you, sir. Well, you'll know where to find me, sir. Go on now, sir, I will wait here. Dr. Elliotson cannot be allowed to continue his experimentations! I must speak to Nurse Nightingale. She would know what to do. There's something peculiar about that Dr. Elliotson.
 * Nurse: You have my gratitude, sir. I shall inform Ms. Nightingale that I'll not be working for this asylum ever again!
 * Guard 3: Hold him down, will ya?
 * Guard 4: ''What's wrong with him?
 * Guard 3: Do I look like a doctor? He's barmy, is all.
 * Guard 4: Ah, nothing a little syrup won't cure.
 * Guard 3: Haven't you heard? Stocks are low, we can't administer Soothing Syrup without Dr. Elliotson's consent.
 * Guard 4: Ah, bollocks.
 * Doctor: Of course not, Dr. Elliotson, it will only take a moment. Urgh, bloody rats! Get back, you filth!
 * Doctor: I'm sorry, sir, but you aren't allowed in here. I'm afraid I must ask you to leave, sir. Authorized personnel only. Please, go away.
 * Doctor: Here it is, Doctor.
 * Elliotson: We will continue our experiment shortly. In a moment, we will compare the brains of our two specimens. And since both specimens had a propensity towards violent behavior, we should see similar protusions in specific parts of their brains- Corpses do not have boots.
 * Elliotson: At last it ends... Yet I can only think of beginnings... A better tomorrow, forged with the blood of visionaries.
 * Jacob: All I see is the blood of a lunatic.
 * Elliotson: Do you truly believe murdering an old man will stop humanity's Great Architect? Crawford Starrick has a glorious design for mankind!
 * Jacob: Designs are meant to be broken.
 * Elliotson: You're a child... A child who believes he can solve all the world's woes with a flick of a blade... Have you ever pondered the consequences of your actions, Jacob Frye? Or did your father teach you nothing?
 * Students: Help! Help Guards! My god! Police! Police!
 * Twopenny: Elliotson expired and Soothing Syrup production has ceased? Outrageous!
 * Cardigan: Frye intends to endanger all of London at the hands of the mob.
 * Twopenny: Or perhaps he doesn't intend much of anything at all, but is simply content to dice with our lives.
 * Starrick: Thank you.
 * Cardigan: The asylum is shut up, medical care throughout the city is in disarray. He does not, cannot, understand the consequences of his actions. The man is clearly an anarchist!
 * Starrick: Gentlemen. This tea was brought to me from India by a ship, then, up from the harbor to a factory, where it was packaged and ferried by carriage to my door, unpacked in the larder and brought upstairs to me. All by men and women who work for me. Who are indebted to me, Crawford Starrick, for their jobs, their time, the very lives they lead. They will work in my factories and so too shall their children. And you come to me with talk of this Jacob Frye? This insignificant blemish who calls himself Assassin? You disrespect the very city that works day and night so that we may drink this. This miracle. This tea.
 * Thorne: I am nearing the end of my research. Our beloved London shall not suffer such a bothersome fool for much longer.
 * Starrick: And what of this sister I've heard of? Ms. Frye?
 * Thorne: Ms. Frye shall be gutted. Soon enough.
 * Thorne: Delicious.

Outcome
Jacob assassinated John Elliotson, causing the Templars to take further note of his and Evie's actions in London.
