Assassination at Hemlock

"You're no blood of mine" "I am your blood, I have always been your blood... and I hated you for it."

- Tymon Guerra and Joseph Everest VI

After Joseph was apprehended by his own uncle, Tymon Guerra, and cousin, Gordon Guerra, and then sent to Hemlock Prison, Gordon felt guilty for betraying his cousin and dishonoring his late favorite aunt and decided to stage a covert breakout. Once Joseph was let out of his cell, he decided to confront his uncle, which then led to his assassination. After killing his uncle, Joseph was then smuggled off of Earth to attend to the formation of the Resistance For Freedom.

Assassinating Tymon
"Joseph! Put down the musket... Who released you? Ah, Gordon I suspect. He always had a soft spot for you. Why don't we go and speak in my chambers? Oh, is this how'd you speak to me? Shaming your family has always given you pleasure" "For the last eleven years, you've tried to have me killed. Tell me why." "Because you killed my sister, your and your drunken irresponsibility" "Your sister? You mean my mother? The woman you loathed for doing what you couldn't? For getting away with what you didn't? You hated her, you despised her!" "No. She was my sister. my blood. I loved her. Was I jealous of her? Yes. What brother isn't jealous of his older sibling? But no matter how hard I tried to kill you, you refused to give in to death. I respect that, even admire it, you fight for what she gave you: life."
