A Friendly Hand was a virtual representation of one of Nikolai Orelov's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Helix Navigator.^[1]

Description[edit | edit source]

Nikolai Orelov traversed Kazan to reach his friend, Leon Trotsky, and secure passage to Moscow for himself and Anastasia.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Nikolai: Wait here. I need to find my friend, Leon. He'll help us reach the Brotherhood in Moscow.
Anastasia: Is he an Assassin, like you?
Nikolai: No, he is neither Assassin, nor Templar. Stay hidden, stay warm. Keep it safe.

Anastasia: Why? Are you not coming back?
Nikolai: Did I not give you my word?
Anastasia: Yes.
Nikolai: Stay out of sight and wait for my return. Dosvedanya, Anya.

Nikolai arrived at a guard post.

Nikolai: Something's not right. Only soldiers in the streets...
Officer 1: Let no one break the curfew! Everyone you see is a spy for the Whites, shoot on sight!
Soldier 1: Why not attack now? Trotsky is with us!
Officer 1: The fifth army will be there at dawn. When they're here, we'll retake the city. For now, the Czech legion is too strong.
Nikolai: At dawn? Dammit, Leon, I didn't expect to find you in the middle of a battle.

The Assassin followed the political officer.

Nikolai: I must avoid the searchlights... There are Templar snipers everywhere. Maybe I can find a way to deal with this light using Tesla's little toy.

Nikolai obtained Trotsky's location.

Nikolai: Orders from Tovarich Trotsky... Bodarenko? It's far from here.

Nikolai reached a heavily guarded train yard.

Nikolai: Hmm, that generator seems to be linked to the light.

Nikolai used his mechanical winch to disable the light, continuing to a group of trains with several searchlights.

Nikolai: I need to time my run through these lights.

Nearing the bridge, Nikolai was spotted by the soldiers.

Soldier 2: Spy! Shoot the spy! Search the area, there might be more of them!
Nikolai: Time to run! Fall, and the cold waters of the Volga await.

After narrowly escaping the search, Nikolai overheard an officer and Jānis Judiņš.

Officer 2: Tovarich! The fifth army is here! Bring the news to Trotsky. It's time to retake the city.
Judiņš: Understood.
Nikolai: Wait! I can't let you start your war, not yet.

Nikolai intercepted Judiņš and reached the canal.

Nikolai: There you are, Leon, well-protected... maybe too well... If I take this boat, I can pull myself across the canal.

Nikolai infiltrated a warehouse on the other side of the canal.

Nikolai: I can force the lift down, if I can reach the junction box on the other side of the building.

Reaching the roof, Nikolai used a cable to enter Trotsky's house through a second-floor window.

Nikolai: I trust he's in.

Nikolai found his friend.

Nikolai: Tovarich Trotsky.
Trotsky: Kolya! You scared the hell out of me!
Nikolai: It's good to see you, my friend.
Trotsky: Is it true, you have one of the Tsar's daughters?
Nikolai: Yes. I'm taking her to Moscow.
Trotsky: You didn't bring her with you?
Nikolai: Can you arrange our transportation?
Trotsky: Bring the girl... I can't do this if you're in two different places.
Nikolai: She's under my protection.
Trotsky: I'm sorry, Kolya. I wish you'd have just brought the girl with you.

Suddenly, a group of Templar soldiers appeared behind Trotsky and proceeded to seize Nikolai.

Nikolai: No! You're making a mistake, Leon!
Trotsky: I don't care about your war with the Templars, Nikolaï. The workers' revolution is all that matters. And this girl is a symbol. She has to die.

Outcome[edit | edit source]

Nikolai met with Trotsky, who betrayed him for the sake of the Revolution and allowed the Templars to capture him.
