Do Not Go Gently...

Do Not Go Gently was a virtual representation of one of Edward Kenway's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus.

Description
Edward sailed north to persuade Thatch into returning to the West Indies, but a sinister surprise awaited them.

Dialogue
Edward was woke up on Great Inagua. Edward boarded the Jackdaw and set sail for Thatch's location. Edward noticed a shifty-looking man and followed him. A signal was shot out, and several ships opened fire on the harbor. Edward returned to the Jackdaw. Edward and his men boarded the Man O' War. Thatch, however, was soon overwhelmed. Thatch was killed and Edward thrown overboard. Edward reached his ship and escaped the area.
 * Edward: Ahoy, Kidd. You missed quite a time.
 * Kidd: Aye. Pity about Nassau. And Blackbeard flying the coop.
 * Edward: Oh, we'll see about Thatch. Vane's off to see him now, and I'm following soon.
 * Kidd: This is what's left of your experiment in democracy?
 * Edward: Aye, we do as we please here. And take our time doing it.
 * Kidd: For Christ's sake, Edward. Don't anything but the stink of riches wrinkle your nose?
 * Edward: What's got into you, man?
 * Kidd: Reality, mate. Reality. See that you ain't pulled into the drink by this drowning rat.
 * Edward: Oy! I've lived longer than most men who trod this path!
 * Vane: A great disappointment you are, Thatch! His mind's made up tos tay, he says. So sod 'im! And hang all you that follow this sorry bastard into obscurity!
 * Thatch: That man's a prick. I know you've come to call me home, Kenway. And your faith in me is kind. But with Nassau done in, I feel I'm finished.
 * Edward: I'm not of the same mind, mate. But I won't begrudge you the state of yours.
 * Thatch: You still looking for that Sage fellow?
 * Edward: Aye.
 * Thatch: Taking a prize a month back, I heard a man named Roberts was working a slave ship called the Princess. Might want to see about it.
 * Edward: The Princess. Cheers, Thatch.
 * Thatch: Now don't stand there like a barrel of wet fish. We're celebrating my retirement! Uncork this man's breakfast!
 * Edward: Save us a few bottles, eh?
 * Man: Lads? Lieutenant? You out here?
 * Soldier: Stay here. Shoot anything that moves. Jenkins. What's the news?
 * Man: There was a deserter among them who recalled my face. I sliced into his gullet before any word left his lips.
 * Soldier: Anybody see you?
 * Man: Don't think so, sir. But I reckon Kenway suspects something. He don't miss much.
 * Soldier: Tell me about the beach.
 * Man: A fair gathering, sir. Most too drunk to stand.
 * Soldier: That will suit our purpose. Tell me about Edward Teach. What sort of man is he?
 * Man: It's Thatch, sir. Least, that's what he calls himself. But he's a mad bugger, he is. Cracked as a glass teapot, sir.
 * Soldier: Details man! Stop talking in gibberish.
 * Man: Well sir, he likes his drink for instance. Only he makes 'em queer. Takes the usual rum flip, and fills it with half a weight of gunpowder to top it off.
 * Soldier: Did I hear you aright? He DRINKS gunpowder?
 * Man: Aye, sir. Just for show. And only last week he rounded up a score of his crew and bade is sit in the hold of his ship while he burnt off sulfur and other sickening minerals. We just sat there like it was one of a million pits of hell, and nothing less ordinary.
 * Soldier: Good GOD. What the hell for?
 * Man: Liked to test his crew is all. Tease out their fitness and what. 'Course it always turned out he was the fittest of the lot. Thought for a moment I'd die there. Bloody savages.
 * Soldier: Have no fear, soldier. This will be the end of them. Come on. It's time. Quickly, send the signal. And remember always this day.
 * Edward: What the devil...?
 * Thatch: Where the hell is Kenway? Not the day, lads! Today we send the King's finest to their graves!
 * Thatch: Kenway!
 * Edward: Here!
 * Thatch: In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!
 * Edward: THATCH!
 * Edward: Devil curse me... Where's the Jackdaw...!
 * Adéwalé: What of Thatch, sir? Did he fall? Captain?
 * Edward: He drinks damnation.

Outcome
Ed Thatch was killed by the British Navy, and Edward barely managed to escape. Edward also learned of a ship called the Princess, aboard which he might find the Sage.
