The war for independence has reached a critical hour. General Washington's Continental Army, battered but unbroken, clings to survival against the mightiest empire the world has ever known. Every skirmish, every scrap of intelligence, could tip the scales toward liberty — or doom the fledgling nation to the gallows.

Word has reached Washington's command that a letter of vital importance was delivered to General Charles Grey at his headquarters behind British lines. The letter, penned by Admiral Richard Howe himself, contains detailed troop movements and battle plans for the coming weeks. In the wrong hands, this information means defeat. In yours, it could change the course of the war.

Your Objectives

1. Recover General Grey's letter — Find and secure Admiral Howe's correspondence before it can be acted upon.

2. Destroy the ammunition supply

3. Escape before first light — Vanish into the night and return to Washington's camp with your prize. If dawn finds you here, all is lost.

Your Mission

You have volunteered for a mission from which you may not return.

Under cover of darkness, a small boat carries you silently up the river, slipping past British patrols. A new moon cloaks the land in shadow — providence, perhaps, granting you the cover you need. You come ashore alone, behind enemy lines, with nothing but your wits, your courage, and the fate of a nation resting on your shoulders.

The commander's house looms ahead, candlelight flickering in a single window. Sentries patrol the grounds. Somewhere inside, the letter waits.

But intelligence has revealed another opportunity — ammunition lies nearby, lightly guarded. Destroying it would cripple British operations for weeks.

As you crouch in the darkness, your boot brushes against something on the ground: an old scrap of paper and a discarded quill pen. Perhaps useful. Perhaps not. Every detail matters now.
