Human Cargo
Human Cargo was a virtual representation of one of Ezio Auditore's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.
Description
A crying boy attracted the attention of Ezio Auditore da Firenze. The boy explained to him that his mother had been kidnapped and asked him to get her back. Ezio found Silvestro Sabbatini and tailed him to the location of the slaves. Once there, he ordered one of his apprentices to assassinate Sabbatini. The remaining Borgia guards were defeated, and the slaves were set free.
Dialogue
Ezio walked up to a crying boy.
- Ezio: Bambino (little man), why do you cry?
- Boy: They're going to take my mama on a boat ride. They say I will go on the next one.
- Ezio: Who?
- Boy: A man from the castle came with guards and arrested us. He scared me.
- Ezio: They are scary. But you look very brave.
- Boy: Will you bring my mama back?
- Ezio: Where did they take your mother?
- Boy: Down that street.
- Ezio: Good. Do you have a place to go for now?
- Boy: My uncle's.
- Ezio: Go there. Do not stop to talk anyone!
The boy ran off to his uncle's place. Ezio located Silvestro and followed him to Colle Palatino, where he had been keeping his slaves captive.
- Silvestro: We must ensure the kidnappings continue.
- Valencia: But children, Silvestro.
- Silvestro: To secure his reign, Cesare needs to control the populace. Fear keeps them quiet.
- Valencia: I can hardly look at you.
- Silvestro: Please, Valencia. Soon all this will be behind us.
- Valencia: Are you afraid of him?
- Silvestro: Who? I am afraid of no one.
- Valencia: Did he do that to your hand? ...My apologies, that was out of line.
- Silvestro: Please go.
- Valencia: I am sorry.
Valencia left the area.
- Silvestro: I will have her killed. No, I will kill her myself.
The puttana (whore)! How dare she speak of my hand?
Ignorant fool, she has never served a higher cause.
Ezio attacked Silvestro.
- Silvestro: Surrender, and you will live.
Get in behind him!
Careful, this one bites.
Ezio's apprentices assassinated Silvestro.
- Ezio: Requiescat in pace. (Rest in peace.)
Outcome
Silvestro was assassinated by one of Ezio's recruits, and the Borgia guards were defeated. The slaves were freed, and were able to escape.
