Surgical Strike is a memory in the Bonfire of the Vanities DLC pack for Assassin's Creed II.

Description

The Doctor seemed to have been affected by the power of the Artifact. He refused to provide healing services to those citizens who denied Girolamo Savonarola's leadership and beliefs. The Doctor believed that the people had sold their dignity and honor for coin and in doing so they had corrupted their souls, which led to sickness and pain among them. To be relieved of these pains and sickness, they needed to pledge themselves to serve Savonarola.

Dialogue

• Doctor: "It's quite simple, amici (my friends). If you desire care, you'll submit yourselves fully to our new ruler. The choice is yours to make. Continue to support the Medici - who, as you know, have long since fled Firenze - or accept Savonarola. Why fight it? Why refuse? He is a good man, strong of character and morals. He seeks to save us from ourselves."

Ezio assassinated the doctor.

• Doctor: You have spilled the blood of a healer.

• Ezio Auditore: No. I have spilled the blood of a tyrant.

• Doctor: To command such power over the body, between this world and the next. It seems, I grew intoxicated.

• Ezio Auditore: And now you grow still. La tua morte non sarà inutile... Requiescat in pace. (Your death will serve a purpose... Rest in peace.)

Outcome

Ezio Auditore assassinated the Doctor, who even in death believed what he did was right. The Medici guards assumed control of the district.
