Basim arrived outside of the Order's meeting place.
- Basim: The Officers' Club. Now to find a way inside.
He infiltrated the club, finding the door to the officer's room guarded by a soldier.
- Soldier: It's not enough they get their own room, but they make us guard it.
Basim killed the guard and noticed the door was locked.
- Basim: Locked. This must be the Officers' room. I need the key.
He then read a note lying on a wooden stool nearby.
General's Orders
- Security for the officer's room has been increased, and new locks put on the doors. As a precaution, you have been issued a key.
Guard this key at all times. Do not use it unless asked by an officer. Do not stray from your post on the eastern balcony.
–General Jasoor ibn Basil
He explored the area and overheard a soldier talking about the key into the club on the eastern balcony.
- Soldier 1: They trust me with the key to their special room. That's something, right?
Basim took out the soldier and picked up the key he guarded. He then returned to the locked door and opened it with the key, obtaining access to the officers' room.
- Al-Rukh: Did you see that woman whose husband we took?
Basim closed the door behind him and leaned against a window to see the two Order members talking on the other side.
- Al-A'eshma: It is not unlawful to make her your slave.
The man got up and poured a drink into a cup which he gave to his colleague.
- Al-A'eshma: Oh don't look at me like that! Allah has favored us, Jasoor. Or should only the mighty Al-Mardikhwar enjoy such blessings?
- Al-Rukh: Do not speak his name, not even here! Of all of us, he scares me the most. You know what he's like. If he learns of my past and finds fault, where can I run? I do not have the luxuries of your ships, Nadir.
- Al-A'eshma: You may have taken liberties with truth in the past, but you have proven your loyalty many times. You executed those rebels, recently. That was a task more cold-blooded than his ordering of it. Perhaps he should fear you.
- Al-Rukh: It is your voice I hear, but the words are those of the Shaytan (Devil) himself.
Nadir returned to his seat.
- Al-Rukh: Do not jest. I want no trouble when he returns.
- Al-A'eshma: Ha, Shaytan! That is high praise coming from you! It is as I told you. We are favored, and need not fear anything.
Jasoor looked to the vacant seat beside him.
- Al-Rukh: Where is Dogan? He is late.
- Al-A'eshma: As always, my friend, you worry too much. Which is why you are merely Al-Rukh, and I am... Al-A'eshma.
A guard captain entered through the opposite door with his men. Al-Rukh and Al-A'eshma got up.
- Soldier 2: My apologies, Generals. Dogan bin Arslan has been murdered, and we fear there is an intruder. We must get you to safety.
Jasoor left his cup on a counter and rushed to the exit.
- Al-Rukh: I knew something was wrong! Dogan is never late.
The pair quickly left with the guards.
- Basim: Those two are with the Order, and they serve a third they call Al-Mardikhwar. But now, I need to find a way out.
Basim managed to safely get out of the Officers' Club.
- Basim: I am safe. I should return to Fuladh.

Notes[edit | edit source]
- ↑ A time jump occurs during "Taking Flight". Despite it being unclear how much time Basim takes to complete his training, several notes in Baghdad describe events that date to mid-862, with two documents being of importance: "Resignation of Abu 'Abdallah" is al-Mu'tazz renouncing his right to caliphal succession in favor of his elder brother al-Muntasir, which historian al-Tabari dated to 27 April 862 in Tarikh al-Tabari's 34th volume "Incipient Decline: The Caliphates of al-Wathiq, al-Mutawakkil, and al-Muntasir", while "Trouble at the Court" details al-Mu'tazz's cousin Al-Musta'in being appointed caliph following al-Muntasir's death that June. This, coupled with the fact that this memory and the succeeding ones must happen before 865, when al-Mut'azz and the Turkic Army should be shown besieging Baghdad to defeat al-Musta'in and his Tahirid forces, implies that they happen in 862.
