Find the Missing Brother was a virtual representation of one of Basim Ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.
Description
Basim goes to investigate Ahmad ibn Musa's workshop.
Dialogue
Basim spoke to the kahraman in the middle courtyard of the House of Wisdom.
- Basim: Greetings, ya 'amm (uncle). If I may, where is the scholar Ahmad ibn Musa?
- Kahraman: Ah, yes, the most adventurous of the Banu Musa. His workshop is right behind me.
- Basim: Thank you, ya 'amm.
Basim headed towards the room mentioned by the kahraman. As he was able about to enter, Nehal called out to him from behind a pillar.
- Nehal: Basim! Hey, Nine-Fingers! Over here!
- Basim: Nehal. What do you have there, Sneak-Thief?
Nehal handed a book to Basim.
- Nehal: A book, I managed to save at least one from the fire.
- Basim: If they catch you stealing...
- Nehal: They cut off a finger. No, wait. A whole hand!
- Basim: That is not funny.
- Nehal: Then don't laugh.
- Basim: All right, you are in a mood, and I have things to do. Nothing that concerns you.
- Nehal: Oh, secret Hidden Ones stuff! What are you doing this time? Stabbing? Stealing? Stabbing and then stealing?
- Basim: That is your specialty, Nehal..
- Nehal: Just because you lost a finger does not mean you've lost your touch!
Basim entered the workshop, filled with a myriad of works, books and tools.
- Basim: All these tools and books, looks like Ahmad's room. But where is he?
Basim read a letter next to a pile of books on the table.
- Basim: The letter says these books are for Ahmad.
He observed another book on a table.
- Basim: Another book of poetry by Arib. Tabid would love this.
He investigated a bag of tools on another.
- Basim: Measuring tools, like my father used to own. But these are Ahmad's.
Basim went to a corner and looked at a manuscript with Ahmad's signature.
- Basim: Ahmad always signs his work. This is definitely his doing.
He looked at another diagram of Ahmad's.
- Basim: Ahmad seems to be working on something new. But what?
Basim concluded his investigation.
- Basim: Diagrams, machine tools, and other oddities. This is definitely Ahmad's workshop. But where can he be?
Just then, a man entered the room.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: Pardon me, may I help you?
- Basim: I am looking for Ahmad ibn Musa. Do you know where I can find him?
- Hamid Al-Haleem: I may be able to help you. Follow me.
Basim followed Hamid out of the workshop.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: Is this your first visit to the House of Wisdom?
- Basim: No, a friend and I used to sneak in as kids. We taught ourselves to read in your library.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: All young people should follow your worthy exemple.
- Basim: The caretakers who chased us out of the stacks everyday did not think so.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: Merely doing their jobs. And what did you study in the House of Wisdom?
- Basim: I loved poetry and heroic tales. My friend ... preferred pagan gods and dark magic.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: Interesting. And did you follow your youthful passion and become a scholar?
- Basim: When the whole world awaits? No, you might say I am a man on a mission.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: Ah. Well, what about your friend?
- Basim: No, no, she ... still searches for something, though what that is, I do not know.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: A shame! It's not far now. Hurry, hurry.
Basim followed Hamid to an outer courtyard, where he screamed.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: Guards, help! I'm under attack!
- Basim: What? You lie!
Guards suddenly arrived, surrounding and attack Basim, However, the Hidden One managed to take them down.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: Please, don't hurt me.
- Basim: You led me into a trap! I should slay you where you stand.
Basim took out his dagger and threatened Hamid, who stood up in fear.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: Spare kindly Hamid!
- Basim: Then tell me, where is Ahmad ibn Musa?
- Hamid Al-Haleem: Please, sir! I don't know where he is. Truly, I do not!
- Basim: Then why lead me into an ambush?
- Hamid Al-Haleem: He ... he made me do it!
- Basim: Who is he? Not Ahmad, surely.
- Hamid Al-Haleem: I don't know his name, for he always wears a mask.
- Basim: And what does this masked man want?
- Hamid Al-Haleem: He commands me to keep everyone away from the House of Wisdom's dig site. Or else...
- Basim: Or else what?
- Hamid Al-Haleem: He will hurt my head! Like with the others. Please, spare humble Hamid.
- Basim: Where is this dig site?
- Hamid Al-Haleem: It's in the wilderness, outside of the city. Here, let me draw you a map.
Hamid drew the map's location to Basim.
- Basim: The map should lead me to the dig site.
Basim followed the map's drawing and it led him to an open dig site guarded by the Caliphate guards.
- Basim: Such a massive dig. What are they up to?
Basim spoke to a worker.
- Basim: Impressive work, my friend. Are you digging up something for the Caliph?
- Digger: Never you mind all that.
- Basim: The remains of past empires intrigues me. Do you mind if I take a look around?
- Digger: Look at the old rocks all you want, but don't otuch our tools and chests.
- Basim: I would not dream of it.
- Civilian: This heat makes me ill. I want to vomit.
- Digger 2: What ever you do, don't ask for Doctor Hassan.
- Civilian: I know, I know. I'd disappear, just like the others.
Basim found a group of soldiers overlooking the site.
- Basim: Mercenaries guarding the site. They must have found something important.
- Mercenary 1: When do we get paid, captain?
- Mercenary 2: We will get paid. One way or the other.
- Mercenary 1: They don't have much to steal. But it's something.
Basim approached one of them.
- Basim: Are you the leader of this battle-scarred band of war dogs? You must get paid well.
- Mercenary 2: Not as much as we want to get paid, I tell you that.
- Basim: Care to do a little work for me?
- Mercenary 2: Maybe. What's this job then?
- Basim: See those fancy Caliph's men over there? I might need a hand.
- Mercenary 2: Hmm. Let's work something out.
Outcome
Basim tracked down Ahmad, managing to also deal with an Order member in the process.
