Memory Animus Feedback System
- Find the Order members meeting at the Officers' Club
- Escape the Officers' Club
Dialogue
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 roon, 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 key 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 onto a cup which he gave to his colleague.
- Al-A'eshma: Oh dont 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 shoud fear you.
- Al-Rukh: It is your voice I hear, but the words are those of the Shaytan (Devil) himself.
Nadir retruned 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.
Outcome
Basim uncovered information about the three Order members active in the district.

Notes
- ↑ A time jump occurs during "Taking Flight". Despite it being unclear how much time Basim takes to complete his training, several notes in the city of Baghdad are dated from mid to late 862, two of them being of important relevance: one of them clearly implies that Al-Musta'in has risen to the seat of Caliph, which happened after al-Muntasir's death in June 862, and the other is the second resignation of Al-Mu'tazz to the throne, which is dated late 862, according to Al-Musta'in's page in Wikipedia. This, coupled with the fact that this memory and the ones that follow must be placed before 865, the year in which the Abbasid civil war breaks out between Al-Mut'azz and Al'Musta-in, and Baghdad is sieged (events that don't take place during Assassin's Creed: Mirage), implies that they happen in 862.
