A Spot of Tea

A Spot of Tea is a tailing mission: Abberline needs to know which shipment carries the Cockham Merchants' weapons, so Jacob searches carts at the Thames docks, marks the right one and follows it through foggy streets to the man behind the robbery plan.

Giver: Sergeant Frederick Abberline.

No optional objectives are listed for this memory.
Templars take over the cart from the Blighters partway along the route.
The weapons belong to Cockham Merchants and are delivered under cover of a tea shipment.
The cart changes hands at a second checkpoint, where a Templar takes the reins from the Blighters.

Objectives

Meet Abberline by the Thames and search the carts at the docks; the weapons are in the third. Mark it with your blade, then climb a nearby warehouse and wait for it to leave. Tail the cart through the fog, keeping your distance, past a checkpoint and on to a second stop where a Templar takes the reins. Follow it to its final destination and listen in.

Tips

The Blighters guarding the cart are on edge and will spot you if you crowd them. Hang back on rooftops or behind traffic, especially at the checkpoints where the cart stops.

What happensSpoilerShow

At the drop-off a Templar lays out the plan: Twopenny opens the vault and the gang robs it. Jacob realises Plutus is Philip Twopenny, Governor of the Bank of England.

Things to notice

The Blighters loading the crates joke about guns in tea and a tea party with fireworks. Jacob grumbles about the fog as he follows and imagines Henry tailing Evie at the same moment. At the handover, the Templar asks whether the tea is ready to be served, and the Blighters ask where their money is.
