A Friendly Hand

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.

Description

Nikolai Orelov traversed Kazan to reach his friend, Leon Trotsky.

Dialogue

• Orelov: 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?
• Orelov: No, he is neither Assassin, nor Templar. Stay hidden, stay warm. Keep it safe.
• Anastasia: Why? Are you not coming back?
• Orelov: Did I not give you my word? Stay out of sight and wait for my return. Dosvedanya, Anya.

Orelov arrived at a guard post.

• Orelov: Something's not right. Only soldiers in the streets...
• Officer: Let no one break the curfew! Everyone you see is a spy for the Whites, shoot on sight!
• Soldier: Why not attack now? Trotsky is with us!
• Officer: 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.
• Orelov: At dawn? Dammit, Leon, I didn't expect to find you in the middle of a battle.

The Assassin continued.

• Orelov: 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.

Orelov reached a heavily guarded train yard.

• Orelov: I need to time my run through these lights.

Nearing the bridge, Orelov was spotted by the soldiers.

• Soldier: Spy! Shoot the spy! Search the area, there might be more of them!

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

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

Orelov intercepted the Judiņš and reached the canal.

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

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

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

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

• Orelov: I trust he's in.

Orelov found his friend.

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

Nikolai Orelov was taken a prisoner after the betrayal by his friend Trotsky.
