This article is about Basim ibn Ishaq's genetic memory. You may be looking for Eivor Varinsdottir's memory of the same name.

Old Wounds was a virtual representation of one of Basim ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.[1]

Description[edit | edit source]

Basim returned to Anbar in search of Nehal.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Basim entered his old home in Anbar. Looking around, he found Nehal near the shelf.

  • Nehal: Basim...? It's really you...
  • Basim: Nehal, I...

Without saying a word, Nehal gave him a hug.

Basim asking about Nehal's wellbeing
  • Nehal: Say nothing, ya sadeeqi (friend), I am as sorry as you.
  • Basim: I have so much to tell you.
  • Nehal: And I you. We will grant each other an audience. But first, I must know something...
  • Basim: What?
  • Nehal: Why are you dressed like a peasant?
  • Basim: Perhaps I have less to tell you than I thought.
  • Nehal: I think I can surmise what our time apart has been like for you.
  • Basim: And you? You have not been living here, I hope?
  • Nehal: Less living, more working.
  • Basim: On what?

Nehal pointed to a symbol on the wall.

Basim and Nehal trying to identify the wall symbol
  • Basim: Why do I know this?
  • Nehal: Because you have seen it. On the object we found at the Winter Palace. I have been trying to remember the specifics of its design.
  • Basim: You have spent all this time obsessing over this symbol? Why?
  • Nehal: Because I too have seen it before. I know not where or when. Only that I have. Whatever it is, it calls to me. I intend to unravel its mystery. And so should you.

Basim pondered over Nehal's words.

Basim assuring Nehal he would investigate the symbol
  • Nehal: Ah, but of course, duty calls.
  • Basim: Stop. I will bear in mind if it means you will spend more time outside these musty walls than you do within.
  • Basim: You really do spare a thought for everyone, don't you, Basim?
  • Basim: Araki Lahiqan.

Basim left the house.

  • Basim: The Order of the Ancients are far from defeated. Master Roshan is certain to have a plan brewing to uproot them. ...and perhaps I should look into Nehal's obsession.

Outcome[edit | edit source]

Basim decided to return to the Hidden Ones in Baghdad while keeping an eye out for information on the mysterious artifact for Nehal.
