Imprisoned
Imprisoned was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Description
Arno was imprisoned in Bastille, alongside Pierre Bellec and Marquis de Sade.
Dialogue
As a violinist played, Auguste Tavernier was dragged along the floor by two guards.
- Tavernier: No! It... it wasn't me, Damiens wielded the knife! Please, have mercy!
In the meantime Arno was dragged towards a cell, passing by Jacques-François-Xavier de Whyte de Malleville, who spoke in Latin, believing himself to be Julius Caesar.
- Whyte: (All Gaul is divided into three parts).
Arno then passed the Marquis de Sade, who stood naked in his cell.
- De Sade: They're killing! Oh God have mercy, they're killing the prisoners in here!
- Guard: That's enough of that, you degenerate!
De Sade laughed in response. Arno was then thrown into a cell.
- Arno: Where am I?
- 'Guard: Guard: In hell.
Arno passed out. A while later, he woke up, finding himself in a cell with four other men. He spotted a wall painted with unusual symbols. He then approached one of the prisoners.
- Bellec: What are you staring at, pisspot?
Arno then approached one of the other prisoners.
- Counterfeiter 1: Welcome to your new home.
Arno went to the cell door, calling out to the guards.
- Arno: Hello! I must speak to someone!
Open this door! - Bellec: Scream all you like. No one cares.
Arno then went to sleep. After waking up, he saw the rude prisoner holding his watch.
- Bellec: Where did you come by this, pisspot?
- Arno: I'm in no mood for this. Give it back.
As Arno tried to take the watch, the prisoner flipped him over, knocking him to the floor.
- Bellec: Take it back. If you think you can.
The prisoner handed Arno a wooden training sword, and the two dueled.
- Spectators: I've got five on the new blood!
Let's see some blood.
Give him what for!
Hit him!
Get the bastard!
Let's go!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Dance, boy! Dance!
Make him bleed!
Ten livres on the old man!
As Arno and the prisoner fought, the latter taunted the former.
- Bellec: Pathetic.
My grandmother hits harder than that and she's Belgian!
What's the matter, my delicate flower? Did I hurt your feelings?
Ha ha ha!
Stop wasting my time, pisspot!
Arno was able to knock out the prisoner's tooth.
- Bellec: Well struck, pisspot! Let's see if your defense is as good.
The two fought again, with Arno practicing parrying.
- Bellec: So much effort for a broken antique.
- Arno: The only broken antique in here is flapping his idiot jaw.
- Bellec: Say that again.
- Arno: I've nothing more to say, old man.
Arno eventually bested the prisoner.
Outcome
The Bastille was stormed by the revolutionaries, as Arno and Bellec made their escape.
