Liam: About 20 years ago, Adéwalé **intercepted** a Templar **convoy** and stole a mysterious package. He traveled to Port-au-Prince, and **entrusted** it to a woman he believed was loyal to our cause.

Shay: Let me guess, she wasn't?

Liam: Ah, she was. Very much so. **The package eventually found its way to** Fran?ois(/f??nswɑ/) Mackandal, Mentor of the Haitian Brotherhood.

Shay: What is it? The package, I mean.

Liam: The **very** box we're seeking.

?`the word "very" is used as an intensifier. It emphasizes the noun "box" and suggests that the box being referred to is the precise or exact one that is being sought or discussed.`

Shay: **Salt air**, **open skies**... A man out on the ocean **is as free as** a man can be. What do you say, Liam?

Liam: We're out here for a reason, Shay. Mind your duty.

Shay: Well **what's the point of** freedom if you cannot **breathe deep** and enjoy it?

Liam: The Templars stick to this continent like **tar**. I won't feel liberated until we **pry them off**.

Shay: **Seems to me** we should just talk to them like men instead of **skulking around**.

Chevalier: And would you smile and wish them a good day **as** they lay their boot on your neck?

Shay: Of course not.

Liam: They're murdering bastards who want to control the world and everyone in it. Never forget.

Shay: And we have nothing in common with that, of course.

`one can experience the smell and freshness of the ocean breeze ("salt air") and the expanse of unobstructed or vast skies ("open skies").`

?`"pry off" is a verb phrase that means to remove or detach something forcefully using leverage or a tool.`?

?`If you skulk somewhere, you hide or move around quietly because you do not want to be seen.`

Chevalier: There it is. Anticosti. Le Chasseur should be there... And with any luck he will know where to find that Manuscript.

Le Chasseur: Take a look at this. I "borrowed" these plans from a Royal Navy **ship of the line**. They are like nothing I have ever seen.

Chevalier: Good! We could use some more powerful weapons. Le Chasseur, allow me to present our associate, Shay Cormac.

Le Chasseur: Gentlemen, **I have news**... On this same ship I spied the Manuscript you seek. It was written in an exotic language I did not recognize and full of drawings. Plants and animals out of an **opium** dream.

Chevalier: Were there no **charts**? No, no... no maps?

Le Chasseur: No. There may have been some kind of code, but neither I nor the Rosbifs could **ken** it.

Liam: Where is the Manuscript now?

Le Chasseur: The man who brought it said a man named Washington sent him.

Shay: I know that name, he's an important Templar isn't he?

Liam: He is, Lawrence Washington has great ambitions that Templars have helped fulfill. Shay, let's return and find him. **You sir, have our thanks.**
