Roman Underground

                             Template:WPmemories

Roman Underground is a memory in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood.

Niccolò Machiavelli meets Ezio Auditore after he exits the Followers Lair. They discuss the Followers of Romulus and make their way to Tiber Island via the tunnels. Machiavelli explains that it is a safer and quicker method of traveling around Rome. Fabio Orsini greets them and offers them the building to be used as their base of operations. Machiavelli and Ezio discuss the situation in Rome and Ezio decides to fix relations with the thieves.

Dialogue

Meeting Machiavelli

• Machiavelli: The Followers of Romulus. This band of false pagans has been terrorizing the city for months and driving the people into the arms of the church.
• Ezio: Quite convenient.
• Machiavelli: Exactly! I believe the Borgia are supporting them, but proof remains scarce. That is why the letter is so important.
• Ezio: Here it is. I hope you can break a cipher.
• Machiavelli: Cazzo, another encryption! This one was supposed to be legible. They are transmitting them using a code sheet. Without it we have nothing.
• Ezio: Some times logic is not the only way to win a war. Andiamo! (Come on!) You said we had allies in this city, bring me to them.
• Machiavelli: Follow me.

Ezio follows Machiavelli to a nearby tunnel.

• Machiavelli: We recently began traveling through the tunnels to avoid the guards, but many of the entrances in the city are broken. By using them, we can get to our destination rapidly without encountering resistance.

Ezio and Machiavelli enter the tunnel.

Tiber Island Hideout

Once they arrive a

the Tiber Island Hideout, they both are welcomed by Fabio Orsini.

Ezio, Machiavelli and Fabio converse

• Fabio: Ben trovato(Hello), Niccolò! Ah Ser (Sir) Ezio, a pleasure. Fabio Orsini, at your service. I've heard a great deal about you from my cousin-Bartolomeo d'Alviano.
• Ezio: A fine warrior.
• Machiavelli: Fabio has lent us an unused storeroom on Isola Tiberina (Tiber Island).
• Fabio: I know you are used to better accommodation in Toscana --
• Ezio: It is perfect.
• Fabio: Bene (Good). Then, I am off to begin preparations for Romagna. Today Cesare commands my men, but soon, I hope, we will be free.

Fabio leaves the room.

Ezio leaving to 'make some friends'.

• Machiavelli: Now, I propose we begin planning our assault on the Borgia.
• Ezio: Oh, you think we are ready for such an attack.
• Machiavelli: Sì (Yes).
• Ezio: Do you know, for instance, where the Borgia troops took Caterina Sforza?
• Machiavelli: What?
• Ezio: Are you also unaware that the Borgia have captured the Apple of Eden?
• Machiavelli: How could we have lost the Apple?
• Ezio: So, you do not know what goes on with our enemies. Do we at least have an underground here to work with?
• Machiavelli: Hardly. Our mercenaries are ensnared in a losing battle with Cesare's French allies. We have girls working for us in a brothel frequented by the cardinals and other important Romans, but the Madame there is lazy and would rather attend parties than further our cause.
• Ezio: What about the city's thieves? Do they have a guild?
• Machiavelli: Sì (Yes), but they refuse to talk to us. I don't know why. What are you going to do?
• Ezio: Make some friends.

Outcome

Ezio leaves the hideout with the intent to fix relations between the Assassins and the Guild of Thieves.
