Den of the Beast was a virtual representation of one of Basim Ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.
Description
Basim met with Ali ibn Muhammad outside The Great Garrison.
Dialogue
Basim met with Ali on a rooftop opposite the Great Garrison.
- Basim: Ali. Are you ready?
Ali pointed him to a group of individuals on the ground in the distance, with Wasif al-Turki and Muhammad ibn Tahir amongst them.
- Wasif: And who are you to tell me what I can and cannot do?
- Muhammad: There is more at stake here than your pride, Wasif. We walk a narrow path.
- Wasif: Enough! Take care what you say when we next meet, Governor. I will not suffer such insult twice.
After threatening Muhammad, Wasif left with his guards, while Muhammad took his leave.
- Ali: That's Wasif and Baghdad's governor, Muhammad ibn Abdallah ibn Tahir. He gave Wasif an order. The warlord did not like it.
- Basim: The Governor of Baghdad has no authority over the Warlord, unless... Could he also be with the Order?
- Ali: Muhammad? I don't believe it. He is not just Governor, he is a poet, and a scholar. The man has spirit. I hoped to make him an ally.
- Basim: Well, I hope you are right. Wasif is enough to deal with. I just have to find a way inside the Garrison.
- Ali: One of the stewards inside is loyal to me. You will find him near the cookhouse. When he sees the red sash, he will help you.
- Basim: What will you do?
- Ali: I will find Beshi, and then free other rebels being held in the prison. Wasif I leave to you.
Ali left Basim alone.
- Basim: Warlord. You cloak yourself in the Caliph's colors so you can kidnap and kill at will. You are a plague upon the land. Its soil is red with the blood of those you have butchered. All because they sought their freedom ... or because you feared they would. You think yourself untouchable, surrounded by your soldiers. But we will storm the Garrison, free Beshi, and see your reign of terror end.
Basim observed the walls surrounding the garrison, many embedded with spikes.
- Basim: Those walls do not look climbable. I will have to find another way in.
Basim approached near the garrison and sat down near a bench, eavesdropping on two individuals commenting on the walls.
- Civilian 1: Those garrison walls are useless as they are. Have you seen the holes in the Garrison walls? What's the point of having walls if they have holes in them?
- Civilian 2: You mean the construction? There are guards everywhere. No one's getting in or out of that place without being caught.
- Basim: There might be a way in along the northern wall. I should take a look.
Outcome
Basim managed to assassinate Wasif, though not without losing Beshi.
