Sic Semper Tyrannis was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.

Description

Bayek and Amunet set out to confront Rufio on his octareme and cut the head off of the Roman Order of Ancients.

Dialogue

After mourning the death of Tahira, Bayek spoke to Amunet.

• Amunet: Tahira's death sends a clear message, we must eliminate Rufio. The brotherhood in Sinai is on the brink of extinction.
• Bayek: Did he land at thw Quarry?
• Amunet: No, at Arsinoe. He is most likely lingering on his octareme.

A flashback of Rufio in his octareme was shown. In the flashback, a soldier handed Rufio a letter, informing him of the deaths of his lieutenants.

• Amunet: He is a master at guarding himself, and cutting true fear into the heart of a people.

Rufio read the letter and threw it on the table.

• Rufio: Where my lieutenants have failed I will not. I won't set food on that cursed peninsula of savages, but they will bow to me.

Rufio sent his soldier away. Back in the present, Bayek followed Amunet, climbing onto horses. They made their away to Arsinoe.

• Amunet: She has brought prosperity to Alexandria. This I cannot deny. It is her lover's army that bothers us now. Marc Anthony bears the same stench of tyranny that Caesar did.
• Bayek: Rufio carries this same odor.
• Amunet: Yes, to the Sinai. Which is why we must be the welcoming party...
• Bayek: ... of fire and blood.
• Amunet: We did not choose this path. It chose us.

Amunet and Bayek arrived at the city, discovering it in flames and citizens fleeing.

• Woman: Bayek! Bayek! Quick you must help us, the village is being attacked!
• Bayek: By Amun how do they know my name?

They left the horses and engaged the Roman forces.

• Roman Soldier: Dirty Nabateans! Do not stand in Rome's way!
• Amunet: This is a bloody massacre.
• Bayek: Defend the Nabateans!
• Amunet: This is madness! Why are they killing civilians?
• Bayek: Something is not right.

Amunet and Bayek eliminated the soldiers.

• Bayek: The battle is done. Now I should kill the man who sent these soldiers, Rufio.

Bayek rode a boat and sailed towards Rufio's fleet. He discovered Rufio and attacked him.

• Bayek: This is for Tahira!
• Rufio: You will not break me down!
• Bayek: Shut your mouth Rufio.
• Rufio: You are not a man at all! Less than a fly! The Hidden Ones are dead!
• Bayek: Your Order will crumble!

Bayek defeated and killed Rufio. The Mentor kneeled infront the dead Ancients' body. Before Bayek could put the feather onto Rufio's head, a hallucination of Rufio interrupted and appeared behind him.

• Rufio: Why have you broken my plans?
• Bayek: The Hidden Ones will never allow the Order of Ancients room to breathe.
• Rufio: So it is true, the Hidden Ones exist.
• Bayek: We thrive.
• Rufio: Strange that you want the same things we want: peace, order. And, yet our ideas will survive. You could kill me but you cannot kill us.

Apparitions of the Order of the Ancients appeared behind Rufio.

• Rufio: Caesar built a strong order before he was stabbed in the back by your cowardly wife.
• Bayek: Our power burns in the shadows.
• Rufio: And we create those shadows.

Bayek angrily shoved the feather above Rufio's body, sending him to the Duat.

• Bayek: May the Hidden Ones bury you. Anubis awaits.

Outcome

Bayek assassinated Rufio, thus ending the Order of the Ancients influence in the Sinai.
