A Common Enemy

**A Common Enemy** was a virtual representation of one of Adéwalé's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Animus.

## Description

Adéwalé, now stranded on Saint-Domingue, sought out the intended recipient of the Templar parcel.

## Dialogue

Adéwalé woke up on a beach, and noticed a woman being attacked.

* **Overseer:** *(Dirty sow.)*
* **Woman:** *(No!)*
* **Overseer:** *(This will cost you an ear.)*
* **Adéwalé:** *(Bully.) The Templar can wait. This woman must not suffer.*

With a machete he found on the beach, Adéwalé killed the overseer and saved the woman.

* **Woman:** *(Thank God. Sorry.) I have nothing to offer but thanks.*
* **Adéwalé:** *Nothing else is needed. As a boy, I fled the same fate.*
* **Woman:** *Why would you risk recapture?*
* **Adéwalé:** *Men of principle know the bigger risk is to turn away. I am looking for Bastienne Josèphe. Do you know her?*
* **Woman:** *(Of course not!) But any "fine gentlemen" may lead you to her. Too late for this one. Find another in town.*
* **Adéwalé:** *The thanks is now mine. Do you have a place of refuge?*
* **Woman:** *My family awaits in the mountains. (Beyond the mountains, more mountains.)*
* **Adéwalé:** *(God be with you.)*

Adéwalé set out to find a gentleman, Louis Godin, who would lead him to Bastienne.

* **Godin:** *Madame Josèphe's women are the finest outside Paris. Mark my words though: Guzan has eyes only for me. I'm on my way there now, to present her with a gift.*
* **Man:** *Enjoy yourself, sir. And fear not. You'll meet no competition from me. My heart is too weak!*

Adéwalé tailed the man to a brothel, where he overheard a conversation between Bastienne and Governor de Fayet.

* **Bastienne:** *You think me a traitor!*
* **De Fayet:** *Slaves will be safer for it.*
* **Bastienne:** *(Mr. Governor), if they felt safe at the plantation, do you think they would rebel?*
* **De Fayet:** *Of course. It is their animal nature. Violence is the only currency that motivates them. Like coin, to you. If you want to protect your African friends, spread the word. Quiet them down. Otherwise...*
* **Bastienne:** *You need not describe. I know what you do.*
* **De Fayet:** *I could not raise a hand to hurt a fly. But the Overseers have every right to discipline as they see fit.*
* **Bastienne:** *That will not be necessary. I will deliver your message. The cost will be high.*
* **De Fayet:** *We will both profit by it.*
* **Bastienne:** *Is there any other service you require, (Governor)?*
* **De Fayet:** *An old man like me? I dare say Guzan has exhausted me already.*
* **Bastienne:** *Then show yourself out.*

Adéwalé approached Bastienne.

* **Adéwalé:** *Madame Josèphe. Expecting a package?*
* **Bastienne:** *It, but not you. Where is (the Admiral)? I see. And do you mean for me to meet the same fate? Look around. One threat, and these men will end you.*
* **Adéwalé:** *I bring no threat. Tell me, how do the Templars allow you to carry on like this?*
* **Bastienne:** *I am only the messenger. But before you judge, remember the Templar coin, like any, will buy the freedom of men like you. I know this mark.*
* **Adéwalé:** *You know nothing.*
* **Bastienne:** *You have the brand of a slave, the eloquence of a scholar... hands of a sailor... and an Assassin's hood. Few weapons. I think the storm stranded you. What do you need? A ship? Shelter? These things can be had for the price of this parcel.*
* **Adéwalé:** *I need nothing I (can't) win for myself. But prove that what you promise is true, and perhaps something can be arranged.*
* **Bastienne:** *Is this your game? Very well. Then you will do me a favor. Augusin Dieufort is a very secretive man. First, find his plantation contact, and give him this message from the (Governor). Augustin will give you all the proof you need. Repeat this password: Si li pas dodo crab la va manger (If you don't go to sleep, the crab will eat you.)*
* **Adéwalé:** *(If you don't go to sleep, the crab will eat you.)*
* **Bastienne:** *(Not bad.) A convincing baritone. Now, I suggest you leave, before my admirers get suspicious.*

## Outcome

Adéwalé received information on where he could start his investigation
