The Hunt was a virtual representation of one of Basim Ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.
Description
Basim returned to the Sharqiyah bureau after spying on the meeting at the Officers' Club.
Memory Animus Feednack System
- Return to Fuladh
Dialogue
Basim returned to the bureau, reporting to Fuladh and Ali ibn Muhammad.
- Fuladh: Good, you are here.
Fuladh closed the book he was reading and put it on the counter.
- Fuladh: You have kicked many nests. Mercenaries are everywhere, like angry ants.
- Ali: It explains Beshi's absence. He's avoiding the mercenaries.
- Fuladh: I hope the trouble was all worth it.
- Basim: I have discovered two of the officers are working with the Order. And there is another, their leader.

- Fuladh: Three! That would explain the Order's reach in Sharqiyah.
- Basim: The first two go by the names Al-Rukh and Al-A'eshma. The third, they call Al-Mardikhwar.
- Ali: They hide behind pompous names like prideful children!
- Fuladh: Do not mistake the Order's vanities for childishness. They are the real power behind the Abbasids. Did you discover anything that would identify them?
(Discuss Al-Rukh)
- Basim: The one named Al-Rukh was called Jasoor by his companion. He is hiding from his past, and lives in fear because of it.
- Fuladh: Jasoor, yes. That must be the Arab General Jasoor ibn Basil.
- Ali: I know of him... a coward who stole credit for victories on the battlefield won by others.
- Fuladh: A past he has gone to great efforts to hide. Jasoor has a villa at Qasr Salih to the west. You could look for him there.
(Discuss Al-A'eshma)
- Basim: The one called Al-A'eshma, his real name is Nadir. He has command of ships, and is not timid like his companion. Arrogant, in fact.
- Fuladh: Nadir...
- Ali: That must be Admiral Nadir ibn Havid. A boastful fool, concerned more with his ships than his own men.
- Fuladh: Ah yes, the Admiral. Boastful, perhaps, but brilliant. He has created several new warships for the Caliph. The Order's reach has grown if they have recruited Nadir. You should look for him at the Lower Harbor, to the north.
(Discuss Al-Mardikhwar)
- Basim: As for their leader, Al-Mardikhwar, I learned only that he is away from Sharqiyah, and expected to return soon.
- Fuladh: This one I do not know. It is the first time I have heard the name.
- Ali: If he is their leader, he ordered the death of my men. He's the one you must find.
- Fuladh: Yes, and for other reasons besides. Our best hope of finding him is through the first two.
- Ali: Find this Al-Mardikhwar, Basim, as we agreed. I will wait for Beshi. I am grateful for your help freeing my men.
Ali handed Basim a Khidmah token.
- Ali: Take this token, with thanks.
Ali nodded to Fuladh before he took his leave.
- Basim: I will find Jasoor and Nadir, and unmask their leader.

Basim turned around and started to leave as well.
- Fuladh: They will be wary now, protected within their strongholds. You may have to lure them out. Thread carefully, Basim. These are dangerous men.
- Basim: So am I.
Fuladh nodded in compliance as Basim put his hood up and left the bureau.
Outcome
Pooling together their information, the Hidden Ones managed to uncover the identities of two Order members, leading to Fuladh tasking Basim with their elimination.

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.
