Playing Politics

Playing Politics was a virtual representation of one of Jacob Frye's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
==Description==
While Evie continued her search for the Shroud, Jacob had discovered a Templar plot to assassinate Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, and set out to discover the identity of the man behind it, who was only known as "B".
==Dialogue==
Jacob and Evie discussed their plans.
*Jacob: "Dear Mr. Starrick, Men hired. Strike tomorrow. Disraeli's death will stall indefinitely. Gladstone will be far more pliable. May the Father, etc., etc. – B" So Starrick's got his finger in politics, has he? I need to enter this Sinopean Club and find out who "B" is.
*Evie: Tread delicately around Parliament.
*Jacob: As if I don't usually.
*Evie: Your indiscretion at the Bank of England caused British currency to nearly collapse.
*Jacob: "Nearly" is the operative word. Speaking of collapses, what of the key you found that unlocks very little?
*Evie: Henry took it for research. I am confident that the vault is ours.
*Jacob: "Nearly" ours, Evie. Nearly.
Jacob infiltrated the Sinopean Club.
*Jacob: All right, "B", who are you and what's your game?
Jacob spied on Disraeli at the club.
*Jacob: Well, if it isn't my dear old chum, Mr. Disraeli. Now, Prime Minister, which of your friends is about to stab you in the back?
*Disraeli: The Corrupt Practices Bill is a vital step in reforming our government. If the majority party is allowed to dictate the results of contested , we can scarcely call ourselves free.
*Gladstone: If we yield up our rights bit by bit to the courts, we can scarcely call ourselves free, sir.
*Disraeli: This is so like you, Gladstone! You would rather throw your body upon the gears of progress than surrender one iota of power!
*Gladstone: By God, Disraeli, you are a fool! I'll not stand idly by and watch you drag Parliamentary privilege through the muck!
*Disraeli: No, certainly not! You'd rather return us to the yoke of tyranny? Perhaps while we're at it, Mr. Gladstone, we could repeal and return the crown to the bloody !
*Gladstone: How dare you, sir! Merely because I do not wish to see government placed in the hands of judges, you would make these slanderous accusations? I'll not stand for it!
*Disraeli: Then I shall obviate the requirement. Good evening, sir.
A spy tailed Disraeli as the latter left the club.
*Jacob: "B", I presume?
Jacob chased after the spy and tackled him.
*Jacob: Pleasure to meet you, "B".
*Herbert: "B"? My name's Herbert!
*Jacob: Then why are you following the Prime Minister?
*Herbert: It's just a job, sir. Some old bloke paid me to—
The spy was shot through the head, and Jacob saw a sniper atop a church.
*Jacob: Smug bastard.
Jacob chased after the sniper, dodging her shots along the way.
*Sniper: Yappy bastard!Mopsy bugger!
Jacob caught up with the sniper at the edge of a rooftop.
*Sniper: Shite!
Knocking her unconscious after a fight, Jacob held the sniper over the edge of the rooftop and woke her up.
*Sniper: Bloody hell! Where'd you come from?
*Jacob: Well, I was born in Crawley, but that's by the by. Who are you working for?
*Sniper: I-I never got his name. Old chap. Big moustache. Wore some kind of uniform. Hussars, maybe.
*Jacob: What's his game?
*Sniper: Please, he'll kill me.
*Jacob: And a three-story drop will shatter your legs and send you to the workhouse, difference is, you can run from him.
*Sniper: Tomorrow! My lads are going to attack the Prime Minister's carriage on the way to Parliament.
Jacob unhanded the sniper, who ran off.
*Jacob: Perfect.
==Outcome==
Jacob learned that a group of hired thugs would attack Disraeli as he prepared to leave for Parliament the following morning.
