A Rich Bounty

**A Rich Bounty** was a virtual representation of one of Alonzo Batilla's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus.

## Description

Taking a break from the pain priorities of his adventure, Alonzo found himself in Cozumel, and came upon a prize worth plundering.

## Dialogue

Alonzo struck up a conversation with Jumao.

* **Alonzo:** *These waters are ripe with prizes, my friend... I can sense it!*
* **Jumao:** *The juiciest are the Portuguese ships. Few of them around here... but overflowing with riches!*
* **Alonzo:** *How do you spot one?*
* **Jumao:** *Look for green and white flags, captain!*

Alonzo used his spyglass to scan the nearby ships, settling on one owned by a Portuguese merchant.

* **Alonzo:** *A big fat cow, this one!... I'll milk every last drop out of her!*
* **Jumao:** *We should be cautious... if her captain sees us too soon, he'll put a distance between us!*
* **Alonzo:** *What's wrong, friend? Lost faith in your captain's skills? We'll hunt her like a lion hunts game... and only jump when the time is right!*

Alonzo followed the ship without being detected, avoiding the nearby patrols carefully.

* **Jumao:** *This captain's clever!... The canyon is too narrow for us not to be noticed!*
* **Alonzo:** *I won't let this one slip away! We'll use this Royal Navy schooner. Once aboard that ship... No-one will figure us for pirates!*

Alonzo switched his vessel to HMS *Drake*before maneuvering around the lookouts again and pulling up near to his intended mark. All of a sudden however, another giant ship blocked his path off.

* **Alonzo:** *What in the devil's name!... Has this monster appeared from the sea?!*

A pirate hunter named Alvaro presented himself.

* **Alvaro:** *From the dark corners of your greedy soul, pirate! And this time, your appetite will be your doom!*
* **Alonzo:** *Who are you?... You look like a greedy man yourself!*
* **Alvaro:** *I am... but stealing does nothing to satiate me! Quite the opposite, I must say!*
* **Alonzo:** *A pirate hunter, eh?... What bounty are you after, dog?*
* **Alvaro:** *A mane named Jumao is on board your ship.... Hand him over and you'll be unharmed.*
* **Alonzo:** *I'd rather find the king of France than hand over my brother to a snake like you!*
* **Alvaro:** *Then you and your brother will die.*

After surviving the volleys of Alvaro's ship for a while, Jumao called on Alonzo to shoot at the ship's weak spots.

* **Jumao:** *Fire on its weak sections, Alonzo! This is our only chance!*

Alonzo used his swivel gun to blast the three weak areas of Alvaro's ship.

* **Alvaro:** *I won't let you escape, pirate!*
* **Alonzo:** *Do you think I need your permission, old man?!*
* **Alvaro:** *I'll hunt you down... and when I catch you, you'll swallow your pride along with your tongue!*
* **Alonzo:** *I'm sure we would both enjoy that! Let's see if you can keep up!*

Speeding forth, Alonzo successfully managed to evade the pirate hunter.

* **Jumao:** *That was a close call, Alonzo! This bounty hunter almost had us...*
* **Alonzo:** *Why was he so keen on capturing you?... Dead or alive?*
* **Jumao:** *... There's blood on my hands, captain...*
* **Alonzo:** *Whose blood?*
* **Jumao:** *White blood... The men sent after me when I escaped the plantation... Men from rich families... eager to pay a large bounty to get their revenge on a cheap slave like me!*
* **Alonzo:** *The only people who'll have their revenge will be us, my friend... when we come face to face with this hunter!*

## Outcome

Despite not managing to hunt down their intended target, Alonzo managed to commandeer a new vessel in the form of the HMS *Drake,* and learned of Jumao's past as a plantation slave and his violent escape, after being set upon by the pirate hunter Alvaro.
