A Job Well Done

A Job Well Done was a virtual representation of one of Basim Ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.

Description

Basim returned to the Abbasiyah bureau after a successful assassination.

Dialogue

As Basim prepared to enter the bureau in Abbasiyah, Nehal called out to him.

• Nehal: Basim ibn Is'haq.

Basim turned around, shocked by Nehal's appearance.

• Basim: How did you find this place?
• Nehal: Easy. I just followed the trails of blood.
• Basim: You should not be here.

Nehal trying to call out to Enkidu

Nehal called out to Enkidu, who simply ignored her and flew away.

• Nehal: Do you talk to him?
• Basim: Sometimes. Yes.
• Nehal: But he does not answer. I do. We have drifted apart since... since that day. But what we have seen, back at the palace... This light. These sounds. You cannot have possibly forgotten.
• Basim: Unlike you, Nehal, I keep the past in the past.
• Nehal: You call yesterday the past? And this jinni of yours, this repulsive shadow that crushes your chest... has it crawled back into the past too?
• Basim: No, it is still here. Sometimes, even in the day, I feel its breath on my neck. The nightmare invades the real world. Or has always been part of it.
• Nehal: This is part of your reality, Basim. I am a part of your reality too. I'm your past. Tell me... will you leave me there? In the dark corners of your memory?

Basim giving Nehal a pat on her shoulder

Basim gave Nehal a pat on her shoulder.

• Basim: I will not.

Basim left Nehal and entered the bureau to meet with Ahmad and Tabid.

• Tabid: Now if you could invent a mechanical rug-sweeper... Basim.
• Basim: It is done.
• Tabid: And how did it all play out?

Basim returned to Ahmad and Tabid

• Basim: I am afraid this is a tale for another day. We will save it for one of our campfires.

Basim handed Tabid the bloodied feather.

• Tabid: You have done well, my friend.
• Ahmad: Better get back to my work. You know how easily I get bored. Thank you for what you did, Basim.
• Tabid: It is the truth, you have done well. One last thing. Arib? Was she... involved?
• Basim: Not that I know, but we must remain vigilant.

Outcome

Basim delivered the bloodied feather to Tabid.
