A Delicate Alliance was a virtual representation of one of Basim Ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.
Description
Basim met with Roshan and the rebels at the Water Mill outside Baghdad.
Dialogue
After Ali escaped from the Damascus Gate Prison, Basim departed from the prison, fending off the Caliphate guards.
- Basim: The guards remain on high alert. Until I change that, I should not regroup with Ali. The risk is too great.
After some time, Basim managed to lose his pursuers and reduce his notoriety.
- Basim: Ali has gone and regrouped with the rebels. Roshan should be there by now as well.
He made his way to the Water Mill, where Roshan and the rebels awaited.
- Basim: This looks like the place. Now, where is Ali?
He spotted Ali speaking to his men from atop a crate.
- Ali: It was through the might of Allah that I was destined to escape from the depths of that ghastly prison.
Ali spotted Basim approaching nearby.
- Ali: All credit where it is due. For this man came to my aid at my darkest hour. And from what I have heard I am not the only one.
The rebels cheered silently as Ali praised Basim for his rescue. He got down from the crate.
- Ali: I will pay a great tribute to you in a chronicle of our exploits. But we must first write the end of it. Come.
Basim and Ali enter the building, where Roshan was waiting.
- Basim: I see you two have met.
- Ali: Only briefly. But the night is young and there is much to discuss. About what you can procure for me.
- Roshan: Our means are limited, but rest assured I will listen to your needs, Ali. Later. Share what you know about Al-Ghul so that Basim may do what he's come here to do.
- Ali: Yes, yes, yes... Your affairs before mine. But just this once.
Ali handed Basim a notebook.
- Ali: Al-Ghul sends orders to the prison guards detailing where to dig around Baghdad. But it's not just prisoners he's using.
Basim read the book, with Roshan beside him.
- Basim: There is a promissory note for workers here. It looks like Al-Ghul arranges to purchase migrant laborers as well.
- Roshan: Who in Baghdad could make those sorts of arrangements without raising suspicion?
- Ali: There is but one man. Mas'ood Al-Ya'qoob. He runs Baghdad's soap mills. Finds paying work for foreign settlers. Most of them Persian.
- Roshan: So he forces these laborers into working for his dig sites, all under the guise of providing them with a livelihood.
As they were talking, Ali's second-in-comand Beshi rushed into the room, obviously injured.
- Beshi: (labored breathing)
- Ali: Beshi!
Beshi sat down behind a cabinet to rest.
- Basim: He tracked down one of Al-Ghul's dig sites. Posed as a prisoner. What happened?
- Beshi: The search turned up nothing. But that did not stop the guards from trying to silence us. I cracked one's skull and fled. I doubt the others were as lucky.
- Ali: A foolish thing to do with nothing to show for it.
- Beshi: Not nothing. Al-Ghul will be at the Caravanserai. I overheard the guards talking.
- Basim: Of course... Merchants from all over stop there to rest. If Mas'ood is buying migrant workers, it is likely the Caravanserai is where he conducts his affairs. What does he look like?
Beshi stood up, having regained his strength.
- Ali: He is a large man. Favors adornments like jewels and silks from the East.
- Roshan: Then he will be hard to miss. It is time, Basim.
- Ali: What is your plan?
- Roshan: That will be for Basim to decide.
- Ali: Basim? Alone? No, let me gather some men--
- Roshan: And allow for foolish spectacle? Your day to display your prowess will come. But this day belongs to Basim. Consider it part of our agreement. Basim?
Ali walked off with Beshi following behind.
- Basim: I am ready.
- Roshan: Then walk with me.
Basim and Roshan left the building.
Outcome
The Hidden Ones and the rebels gathered clues to uncover Al-Ghul's identity and learned they were the soap merchant Mas'ood Al-Ya'qoob, who forced captured laborers to dig sites on behalf of the Order of the Ancients. Thanks to Beshi's information, they identifed the Caravanserai south of 'Aqarquf Dunes as Mas'ood's place of operation. Roshan negotiated with Ali to allow Basim to be the one to eliminate Mas'ood.
