Spring-Heeled Jack was a virtual representation of one of Jacob Frye and Evie Frye's genetic memories, relived by the Helix Initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Description[]
With information from Charles Dickens, Jacob or Evie set out to stop Spring-heeled Jack.
Dialogue[]
The Frye twins entered a tavern and saw a man leaning on a desk while Charles had a drink. On spotting the twins, the man stepped back and pointed at them accusatorily.
- Civilian: The aura of death surrounds thee both! Get thee behind me!
The man skirted around them and fled the building. Jacob and Evie looked at each other, surprised, then laughed awkwardly at the situation. The approached Charles' desk just as he set his drinking glass down.
Evie introducing herself and Jacob
- Dickens: Alas, these days stupidity is all too prevalent! You know, I never asked your names when last we met.
Evie put her hand on her chest then motioned to her brother.
- Evie: I'm Evie Frye, and this is my brother Jacob.
Jacob nodded in greeting.
- Dickens: Tell me: Do you believe in ghosts?
Jacob frowned and replied slowly.
Jacob shocked at Evie's belief in the supernatural
- Jacob: Not particularly.
Evie beamed, answering just as he finished.
- Evie: Yes.
Jacob stared at his sister, surprised at her eager admission. She glanced at him and quickly nodded.
- Dickens: I am skeptical myself. Here we are in the world's most advanced city, yet its citizens are so in thrall to the supernatural they leave themselves vulnerable to charlatans!
Dickens inviting the Fryes to join The Ghost Club
He waved his hand dismissively in the direction of the tavern door.
- Dickens: Which is why I joined 'The Ghost Club', the first society in the world to look systematically at the phenomenon. Because truth, like a spirit, must be cajoled, before it will reveal itself! Will you join us?
While Charles talked, Jacob watched his sister, judging her reactions. Evie eagerly nodded her head, though Jacob shook his head in disbelief.
Evie angry at Jacob declining Dickens' invitation
- Jacob: Sounds absolutely ridiculous!
He turned to Evie, still expecting her to agree with him, but she gave him a pointed frown and tapped his arm at his ill manners. Catching the cue, he faced Charles with a wide grin.
- Jacob: Why not.
- Evie: It does sound intriguing.
- Dickens: Splendid! I have your first case!
The twins complied, Evie gladly and Jacob hesitantly.
- Dickens: There's been some disturbing reports about a series of assaults in Lambeth. People claim they're being attacked by an age-old demon, Spring-Heeled Jack! The fiend is no doubt on the prowl as we speak! It's up to you to find him.
One of the twins located a potential victim of the ghost and interviewed her.
- Victim 1: It was horrible: glowing eyes, huge claws... And his laugh! Luckily he was frightened away by some passerby. Somebody has to do something before he attacks another!
Evie or Jacob found another potential victim. A lunatic in demon disguise suddenly attacked the man and the twin had to defend him.
- Passerby: The miscreant had claws on his hands!
- Jack: It's never that easy!
However, Jack threw a smoke bomb at Evie or Jacob, escaping. The twin investigated Spring-heeled Jack's tracks.
- Jacob: I have you now.
- Evie: Looks like he ran this way.
Evie tracking Spring-Heeled Jack
The twin followed the tracks to a building.
- Jacob: Claw marks on the walls?
- Evie: Perhaps the legend is true and he does have giant claws.
Jacob or Evie followed more tracks and eventually reached a warehouse.
- Jacob: Out of the way warehouse. Lots of guards. Masked lunatic inside. This is the bloody life!
- Evie: A heavily guarded warehouse, hm? I wonder what they're heavily guarding.
The twin infiltrated the warehouse and killed the cultists.
- Jack: Who are you to deny us our sport? The scum of London are as base as animals, and we treat them as such! We take our inspiration from Jack, who knows how to treat the lower classes.
Eventually, the Assassin killed Spring-heeled Jack.
Outcome[]
Jacob or Evie confirmed that the "demon" Spring-heeled Jack was just a cultist in disguise, scaring civilians. The Assassin also managed to eliminate the cult, ending their activities in London.
