New Kid in Town was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.
Description
Nehi, a new arrival to Letopolis, abandoned his ox cart outside town. Bayek offers to find it.
Dialogue
Bayek travelled to the city of Letopolis. In front of the Temple of Horus, he encountered a man named Ramessu, who welcomed the citizens to the city. He talked to one of the citizens.
- Ramessu: Welcome, welcome to Letopolis! Final dream of the great Taharqa. Come, Neb, are you ready to work to free yourself? Join us, and take a house as your reward!
- Man: I have heard the stories!
- Ramessu: A guide will show you your new house. You have to dig it free, and to help with the public works, to be welcome here.
Ramessu talked to another citizen.
- Ramessu: Welcome, friend! A new life awaits you here, in Letopolis, the city of Horus! Come, find your path, and walk into a new age with us!
Ramessu talked to another citizen.
- Ramessu: Welcome, Nebet! The city of Egypt's future welcomes all!
- Woman: Is it true forgotten secrets are discovered every day?
- Ramessu: Hah! Many lost works and fragments of the old world are found here. Perhaps not every day, but often enough to make us wonder.
Bayek approached Ramessu.
- Ramessu: Welcome, welcome to Letopolis! I never forget a face and I have not seen yours before. You've found it! Your new home! A miracle of a man's labor! The great work begins!
- Bayek: No, that's not wha-
- Ramessu: You just don't know it yet! We give every new arrival a house. Only dig it out, and help with the public works. A fresh start!
- Bayek: I am not here to live in these tough sands.
- Ramessu: Speak to some of our new inhabitants, like Nehi. He can tell you how liberating it is to leave the past behind.
- Bayek: I cannot my past like a snake sheds his skin.
Bayek visited Nehi, who was walking around the city.
- Nehi: Khufu and Chiera are gone!
- Man: Eh? Who are they?
- Nehi: My beloved oxen! Can you help me get my cart?
- Man: Crying over oxen? Hah! Piss off!
Bayek approached Nehi.
- Nehi: By the gods, what am I to do?
- Bayek: Peace, friend. What happened?
- Nehi: The gods have cursed me! I lost my f-farm and m-my wife to my brother, in Y-Yamu, and now I've lost what little I owned! M-my cart got stuck in a ditch far from town! As night came on, I heard terrible roars... And I just left them! My poor oxen! Everything I owned! What-what am I to do?
- Bayek: Roars? There are no large beasts in this region.
- Nehi: I did not stay to find out! They were the last gift I got from my father, Khufu and Chiera! And-and I left them there! With all I own!
- Bayek: When I am out that way, I will see what I can find. For now, do what you can on your new house.
- Nehi: My-my thanks. My house is to the right of the entrance to the temple. May you fly with the bright wings of Horus!
Bayek travelled out of the city to look for Nehi's oxen in the desert. He found Nehi's cart in the desert ruins next to a small oasis.
- Bayek: Quiet there, let's see how you are tangled-
A group of bandits and their lions came out of hiding and attacked Bayek.
- Bandit: Hah! Another sacrifice to the Mistress of Dread! Spill the outsider's blood! For the Lady of Slaughter!
Bayek eliminated the bandits and the lions. He rode Nehi's oxen cart back to Letopolis.
- Bayek: A good thing I came looking for you. I fear Nehi would be dead, and you'd be lion food otherwise.
He parked the cart outside Nehi's house. He climbed up to the roof and talked to Nehi.
- Nehi: Bayek! You found Khufu and Chiera! Today I cry tears of joy!
- Bayek: Look how much you've done since I've been gone.
- Nehi: I found something strange inside the house. It arouses my curiosity, and yet terrifies me. W-will you look?
- Bayek: Show me.
Bayek and Nehi walked down to the ground floor.
- Nehi: As I dug out the main room, I f-f-found ominous writings on the wall. Old writings. I have no idea what they say, but it scares me in my bones.
- Bayek: These are old. But incomplete. Too much is missing.
- Nehi: Erased by time and sand. Do you... d-do you think it's a curse?
- Bayek: I will ask around town.
- Nehi: All r-right. What should I do? I don't know if I c-c-can sleep here!
- Bayek: You will be fine.
They went outside house.
- Nehi: You should s-speak to Ramessu. He knows everyone in town, and everything that happens here.
- Bayek: I'm sure he does.
Outcome
Bayek Nehi to retrieve his oxen cart of belongings. Returning to him, he discovered old writings on the walls of Nehi's home, leading him to investigate.
Trivia
- If Taharqa has been assassinated prior to this memory, Ramessu will address him as the "late Taharqa" rather than the "great Taharqa".
