A Spanner in the Works

A Spanner in the Works was a virtual representation of one of Jacob Frye's genetic memories, relived through the Helix Navigator.

Description
Jacob and Evie were sent by George to kill the Templars Rupert Ferris and David Brewster, respectively.

Dialogue
Henry Green wrote a letter to George. George, Jacob and Evie hid behind a railway carriage near the Ferris Ironworks in Croydon. While George was looking away, Jacob and Evie had climbed atop the railway carriage. As George climbed atop the carriage, another train leading to one of Ferris' ironworks and Brewster's laboratory approached. Jacob flicked his Hidden Blade. Jacob and Evie jumped onto the approaching train. The train neared Ferris' ironworks. Jacob jumped onto a beam, from where he climbed through a window into the factory. There, he saw a child worker screaming in pain as he was stuck underneath a metal plate. As the other workers pulled it away, Ferris entered. Ferris left for his office. Jacob attempted to go through the door Ferris had used. Turning a valve handle, Jacob stopped the machines. A thug walked in through the door. Jacob assassinated the thug from above. Jacob fought and killed the thugs. Leaving the first building, Jacob went outside, where he saw the rest of the industrial complex. Jacob made his way to the main ironworks building, where a worker spoke to Ferris at the latter's office. Jacob neared Ferris' office. Ferris spotted Jacob. Jacob assassinated Ferris. As Ferris died, Jacob swiped a handkerchief with his blood. He then left the factory and jumped onto a train as it was leaving. As several thugs jumped onto the train as well, Jacob fought and killed them. Two thugs drove past the train in a carriage. One of the thugs used a club to move a lever at a railroad switch, sending the train onto the wrong track. As the driver attempted to stop the train before jumping off, Jacob noticed that the track was unfinished and led to a cliffside. As the train drove off the cliff, Jacob jumped from carriage to carriage. As the train stopped, he held onto a carriage hanging from the cliffside. As Jacob descended through the train wreck onto firm ground, one of the carriages atop the cliff fell down as well. The carriage that had fallen down dropped to the side.
 * Henry: Brother George. It is as I feared. London has fallen. Thrice I have written to you, begging your aid. Thrice you've responded - with silence. And yet I write again, so desperate my need, so few my options. I need you. London needs you. You would say it is too great of a task. Or that it is not yet time to strike. Patience, you would counsel. But whilst you wait, the Templars consolidate their power. They have chosen a Grand Master so ruthless, so thorough, one might think Reginald Birch himself had returned. His name is Crawford Starrick. And he intends to rule the world. There is no aspect of society he does not control. No industry that escapes his grim touch. By day, it is corrupt merchants and venal politicians who hold court. Come night, a vicious street gang known as the Blighters strikes terror in the hearts of all. There is no business untainted by his poison. No person unexploited - be it by duplicity or force. Our enemy has designs on the highest office of them all. And so, as you look inward - and dare I say it - afraid - Crawford Starrick's ambition is fixes on the beyond: To kingdoms and continents as yet unconquered. Though not for long. For he knows - as I have warned you - time and time again - whosoever controls London, controls the world.
 * George: The iron ships from here. The Templar running things is Rupert Ferris, and our target one. Target two is Sir David Brewster, who's got his hands on a bauble that could ruin us in this wretched war. Think you both can handle it?
 * Jacob: What a question.
 * George: Oh, right, my mistake. Ladies and gentlemen, the unstoppable Frye twins; see them nightly at Covent Garden!
 * Evie: George, honestly, I've studied the plans of the laboratory and have every route covered.
 * Jacob: And I've got all I need right here.
 * Jacob: I'll extend your regards to Ferris.
 * Evie: Chat later, George, we've a train to catch.
 * George: Jacob! Evie! May the Creed guide you, you vagrants!
 * Evie: Poor man, more afraid than ever. The years have not been kind.
 * Jacob: Evie Frye, where do you get it from?
 * Evie: The same place as you, Jacob.
 * Jacob: Have fun.
 * Evie: Don't die.
 * Ferris: How long does he intend to go on like this? He's disrupting the other workers. Shut his trap and get the machine fixed! And send me some for my head.
 * Jacob: Coming right up.
 * Jacob: Locked.
 * Thug 1: What do you think you're doing?
 * Thug 2: Stop now! Before there's trouble!
 * Worker 1: No one goes in or out... 'less there's a problem.
 * Jacob: I halt the machines, that door opens and I have my route to Ferris.
 * Jacob: Always work on the fly.
 * Worker 2: Ferris will have our heads!
 * Thug 3: What's all this? Which one of you is responsible?
 * Worker 3: Wasn't us, sir! I swear it!
 * Thug 2: Who are you?
 * Jacob: The sanitary inspector. This man is dead.
 * Thug 2: You're the dead man!
 * Thug 1: Run along home, boy. I'll you how to beg for mercy!
 * Jacob: Ferris, I'm coming. Time to head for higher ground.
 * Worker 4: Mister Ferris, sir. Uh, the lad in the factory should be taken to be bandaged by the apothecary.
 * Ferris: Fine. But dock his wages.
 * Worker 4: Yes, sir.
 * Jacob: Shall we arrive at a final price, Mister Ferris?
 * Ferris: Take this down: "Dear Sir, I am pleased to inform you that I have managed to secure a source of iron ore that will continue to generate a steady profit for many a year to come, and provide the raw material to build several new trains." I expect a knighthood for this. No. Don't write that. "It is my hope that this good news may please you. I await further instructions. I am, etc., etc., Rupert Ferris." Send it to Mister Starrick please, Mister Stone. And how is your father these days? I hope the doctor I sent has facilitated a speedy return to good health.
 * Secretary: Yes, sir. Words cannot saw how grateful we are.
 * Ferris: Come, come, there's no need for thanks. You and the others in this office are dear to me. Do let me know if there is anything else I can do.
 * Ferris: What is this? Help!
 * Jacob: It is done.
 * Ferris: Oh? What did you accomplish, boy? A bolt loosened in Starrick's machine, a large bolt... but not enough!
 * Jacob: Your Grand Master will fall.
 * Ferris: You Assassins can circle London to your heart's content. The mechanism we have built has been going strong for a hundred years, and will run a thousand more. It is the very city itself.
 * Jacob: We will take London from your hands.
 * Ferris: From Croydon? You lurk in the shadows, like a coward. I doubt it.
 * Thugs: The Assassin! Kill him! Cut off his head! String him up! Get off our train!
 * Jacob: Tickets, please!
 * Jacob: Lost your bottle, boys?
 * Jacob: Oh, no...
 * Jacob: Well, we seem to have made an unscheduled stop.
 * Jacob: Maybe next time I'll walk.

Outcome
Jacob killed Rupert Ferris, weakening the Templars' hold on the London industries.
