Report to the Rafiq was a virtual representation of one of Basim Ibn Ishaq's genetic memories relived through the Animus.

Description

Basim returned to the Abbasiyah bureau to update Tabid on his investigations.

Dialogue

Returning to the bureau, Basim saw Tabid speaking to an informer who just left.

• Tabid: Basim! Join me on the roof.

Basim got to the roof.

• Tabid: Basim! I knew it was you. You are not the only one with eyes that see afar.
• Basim: So, Tabid. You have filled the streets with eyes and spies?
• Tabid: Such is the life of a Rafiq. Without my knowledge, where would we be?

Basim sharing his views of the good and bad knowledge could bring

• Basim: Knowledge is a tool, a weapon. It can be used for good or ill, and the Order is using it for ill indeed.
• Tabid: What have you learned?
• Basim: Rot runs deep through the House of Wisdom. They are using some ancient book, hoping to build a wicked device.
• Tabid: I have heard rumors of this blasphemous contraption. They call it their "Great Work."
• Basim: The Order is experimenting on people. Lethally. I have stopped them for now, but someone called Al-Rabisu is running things at the House of Wisdom.

Basim revealing his suspicions about the scholar Fazil

• Tabid: Any idea about who this Rabisu character could be?
• Basim: I have my suspicions about the Great Scholar, Fazil Fahim.
• Tabid: That fragile old man?
• Basim: The clues I have gathered tell me so.

Tabid informing Basim of a symposium at the House of Wisdom

• Tabid: Hmm, it could be. The House of Wisdom will be hosting a Great Symposium soon. An informal gathering of scholars. A lecture, refreshments, chatter. Even the great Arib will attend! Go, spy out this Fazil with care. But do not draw your blade at the Symposium. We don't want to show our hand just yet. But if Fazil is guilty and alone, then like a viper, strike! But you must be sure.

Tabid handed Basim a feather.

• Basim: Before I act, I will be sure.

Outcome

Tabid tasked Basim with eliminating the Order leader in Abbasiyah, Fazil Fahim al-Kemsa.
