Storylines
Part 1 of 4 in Queen Victoria's London Stories
Found in
- Buckingham PalaceBuckingham Palace is Queen Victoria's London home in Westminster and the setting for the climax of Syndicate's story, the Queen's ball. It is also where the Queen hands out the Operation side memories, and it has a viewpoint.
- The ThamesThe Thames is the seventh borough of Syndicate's London: the river itself, its boats and its bridges. The Templar Edith Swinebourne controls it in 1868, and you win it the same way as the land boroughs, but there are no strongholds or factories to clear.
Good to know
- Queen Victoria memory 1 of 4, playable as Jacob or Evie.
- Briefing at Buckingham Palace, then you meet Fleming by the Thames.
- Full synchronisation: air assassinate from a crane.
- Next is Operation: Locomotive.
- Victoria tells the twins she fears for the people of the city rather than for her own life.
- Jacob welcomes the ambush plan with relish; Evie goes along with it more reluctantly.
What you do
Fleming first asks you to get a police carriage out of the area so nothing alarms the enemy; drive it away. Next, move his agents, who are disguised as civilians, into their ambush positions. When the ship docks, attack its Templar crew. Fleming then spots their leader running and wants him delivered alive, so chase him down, kidnap him and bring him to Fleming's carriage.
Objectives
Meet the Queen, meet Fleming at the docks, remove the police carriage, place the agents, kill the Templars from the ship, kidnap the escaping leader and deliver him to Fleming.
Outcome
Fleming's people take charge of the dynamite and he takes the prisoner off to question him about what the rest of the faction is planning.
Tips
The optional objective is an air assassination from a crane. Before the ship docks, climb one of the dockside cranes overlooking the ambush and drop onto a Templar from it once the fighting starts.
Fleming and the faction
Fleming introduces himself as the head of Her Majesty's secret service. The ship is coming from Boston with dynamite in its hold and Templars for a crew. Once caught, the leader swears the Order will rise again now that Starrick is dead, and Jacob remarks that he is hardly Grand Master material.
