The early days of the settlement were chaotic and difficult. With limited supplies, the cultivation of food was imperative, but the soils around Sydney were poor, the climate was unfamiliar, and moreover very few of the convicts had any knowledge of agriculture. Farming tools were scarce and the convicts were unwilling farm labourers. The colony was on the verge of outright starvation for an extended period. The marines, poorly disciplined themselves in many cases, were not interested in convict discipline. Almost at once, therefore, Phillip had to appoint overseers from among the ranks of the convicts to get the others working.
Amongst this detective, you have been patiently chasing your fugitive. Finally at last you have caught and cornered William Barnett, the elusive criminal. He had been hiding amongst the construction of the hospital, it is such a busy place that no one noticed an extra pair of hands working.
He begs and pleads with you to not arrest him. "No no, I've changed, I'll never do those bad things again. I'm here to make an honest living and work hard. A new start."
It is up to you detective, what do you wish to do?
Let him go and start his life again, hopefully making better life choices,
Or
Arrest him and give him to the governor so he may face the consequences for his crime.
