Meet the Smugglers

Meet the Smugglers was virtual representation of one of Aveline de Grandpré's genetic memories.

Description
Aveline set out to acquire the help of Élise, a smuggler in the bayou.

Dialogue
Aveline returned to Agaté. Aveline then made her way to the smuggler's hideout, where she overheard a conversation between some thugs and smugglers. Aveline killed the thugs without being noticed, after which she killed the remaining men Élise and Rousillon were fighting.
 * Agaté: The false Mackandal gathers followers. They attempt to overtake smuggling operations on the bayou--to finance what, I cannot say. There is a smuggler--a woman named Élise Lafleur... She knows every bog and tangle of the swamp. Perhaps she could be persuaded to help?
 * Aveline: I'm sure I can motivate her.
 * Agaté: Good. When you get to Mackandal, use your darts to approach, but remember you will need to complete your mission using more direct means.
 * Man: We offer two choices.
 * Man: You give up the river.
 * Man: Or we take the river.
 * Man: Or you suffer before you die.
 * Man: Three choices then.
 * Élise: You dare threaten me? You bracket-faced parasites have no more claim here than the dung easels.
 * Roussilon: You best heed the... lady.
 * Man: We have you outnumbered. Look around, old man. Your hired hands will flee at the first sign of trouble.
 * Rousillon: Aye. But the lady's temper alone could take on an army and the swamp is no friend of yours.
 * Élise: Who the hell are you?
 * Aveline: A fine display of gratitude. I'm no enemy, if that's what you fear.
 * Élise: I fear nothing.
 * Aveline: My name is Aveline. I seek the leader of these men. He calls himself François Mackandal.
 * Rousillon: You seek him? To what end?
 * Aveline: A final one.
 * Rousillon: Ah! Then you're my kind of woman! Name's Rousillon. My, er, partner in crime is Élise--though I've heard her called otherwise...
 * Aveline: Will you help me find their base? No one knows these waters as you do. In return, I'll restore your control of this territory.
 * Élise: I've built-- "we've" invested years of work in this camp. Why would we need your help?
 * Rousillon: Four reasons right there!
 * Aveline: Would you not prefer to move your wares freely?
 * Élise: If you think there's only one base, you really do need me. Those louts are spread out thin as swamp gas.
 * Rousillon: It's settled then. Élise will help you find the blighters.

Outcome
Aveline assisted Élise and Rousillon, and they promised to help her in return.

Trivia

 * To achieve full synchronization, Thérèse had to be escorted away from the plantation in one minute.
