Storylines
Part 7 of 7 in Sequence 5: The Perils of Business
Found in
- Charing Cross stationCharing Cross station is a railway terminus in the Strand beside Trafalgar Square. Several memories point you here, from the End of the Line engine heist to Darwin's fossil delivery.
- SouthwarkSouthwark is Syndicate's industrial heart: factories, docks and rows of brick workers' housing on the south bank. The Templar Octavia Plumb oversees it in 1868, and its riverside wharves and Waterloo station are the stage for several key memories.
- Waterloo stationWaterloo station is a busy Southwark terminus on the south bank. In End of the Line, Jacob goes there to take back the engines and kill Pearl Attaway.
Good to know
- Sequence 5, memory 7 of 7; global story order 21; played as Jacob Frye.
- Region: Southwark, at Waterloo station.
- Target: Pearl Attaway.
- Optional objectives: free the station chief; use the secret passage.
- Rooks wait at Charing Cross station to unload the engines.
- A Rook reports that the engines have pulled into Waterloo and Starrick's men are on their way to collect them.
Objectives
Climb into the rafters and scout the station. Blighters have shut the Central Station and are holding the station chief in the offices, so the conductor cannot let anyone through. Free the chief, steal the train schedule and hand it to the conductor so the crowd floods in and gives you cover. Take the secret passage into the Central Station, pickpocket the blueprints from the security chief, which reveal a weak spot in the final wagon, then climb onto the carriage and drop through its roof.
Opportunities
Two Templars discuss a flaw in the carriage design near the start, which is your hint to go after the blueprints. Using both the freed chief and the secret passage keeps the approach quiet.
What happensSpoilerShow
Jacob kills Attaway, who calls it just business, then drives her train to Charing Cross. Starrick mourns her at the piano, shoots a servant who interrupts, and orders a bigger Templar presence across London while Thorne vows revenge on the Fryes.
Things to notice
The crowd stuck behind the conductor grumbles about missed trains. Two Blighters guarding the chief bicker because one keeps telling people who they work for. The stolen blueprints are addressed to a Thomas Logan and describe the weak point in the final wagon's roof.
