hey, all. this idea just occurred to me--for once it ISN'T something for my ASB ATL 
anyway, i was zoning out a bit from homework a few minutes ago and i recalled some fan-wondering about why Benjamin Franklin didn't have more of a presence in Assassin's Creed III, with the answer being that Franklin wasn't actually in America for most of the war, he was playing negotiator in France to get international support
okay, so suppose that Ben Franklin is still in France negotiating with the local leadership for support in the ARW when he learns that, for whatever reason you like, the Revolution has been crushed and its leadership captured with at least some of them possibly awaiting execution for treason. with the independence movement defeated, what would Franklin do? would he go back to the Colonies and risk being arrested, or stay in France in a state of self-exile?
