The Jaws of Sobek was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.
Description
Bayek uncovers a network of corruption within the Sobek cult.
Dialogue
While in Krokodilopolis, Bayek came across a storeroom with blood flowing out behind the door.
- Bayek: That is blood pooling beneath this door!
Bayek climbed up the walls to the roofs and discovered an opening.
- Bayek: Butchered Sobeks in Krokodilopolis! Gods, this is an illegal tannery.
He entered the building. He investigated several hung crocodiles.
- Bayek: Hung out to dry like rags. No wonder the place is locked tight. Hiding the murder of gods!
He investigated a mummified crocodile on the table.
- Bayek: These mummies are sloppy work. Thisis the foulest blasphemy!
He investigated a pile of crocodile mummies on the floor.
- Bayek: The mummies are stuffed with gold and valuables. Where are they taking them? There are shipping consignment markings on them.
He investigated a pile of gold on the ground.
- Bayek: That is a lot of gold. Someone is making a big profit from this sacrilege.
Bayek completed his investigation.
- Bayek: Crocodiles are being slaughtered and mummified. The work is sloppy and careless. This i ssacrilege beyond imagining. The mummies are used as coin sacks, then stacked like packages. They are using the bodies of murdered gods for smuggling! Amun! The smell alone turns my stomach. Those who do this deserve death. How can this be happening in Egypt? By the gods, it must be stopped!
I need to find where the mummies are being shipped. This tannery must have a dock nearby.
Bayek left the tannery and travelled to the docks nearby. He found a priest being held hostage by two soldiers.
- Bayek: Someone is in trouble!
- Egyptian Soldier 1: I don't want to do this. But you put your nose where it doesn't belong, priest.
- Padiaset: You know this is wrong. Wrong! Killing Sobek's children? Filling their bodies with unclean gold? Who orders such bloodshed and sacrilege?
- Egyptian Soldier 2: Sobek has chosen his right hand, and we must obey him. I'm sorry. I will make this quick.
- Padiaset: You cannot shed innocent blood! You are meant to protect the temple and the people!
- Egyptian Soldier 2: Damn you priest! I have no choice. Nek!
Bayek killed the soldiers and freed the priest.
- Padiaset: Thank you Medjay! My life is sparred, but it seems much that is good is already dead.
- Bayek: I saw the tannery and the mummies. I know what they are doing to Sobek's children.
- Padiaset: So you have seen it? Dua Sobek! It is unthinkable. I am Padiaset. I serve in the temple South of the city. Forgive me. I must return. I need to pray for guidance.
- Bayek: This is going to take more than prayer, priest. We need to act. The mummies had markings on them. I think they are being moved by ship.
- Padiaset: Ship? The cult has a trireme. It follows trade routes South of the city. Do what you must, Medjay. I will pray for you. But please, risk no more bloodshed.
The priest returned to the temple.
- Bayek: Bloodshed comes, whether we risk it or not. I should search for the ship's manifest. It will tell me where the mummies are headed.
Bayek boarded a boat and sailed out to Lake Moeris. With Senu's help, he found the the cult's trireme. Bayek sailed towards them and climbed aboard. He eliminated the soldiers. He read a note on the table.
- Instructions:
This cargo is for delivery to the Trireme Stranding Camp. Store it in the Captain's tent until further notice. Do not open or move the packages without permission. You will receive payment only if these rules are followed. - Bayek: Th ship's manifest. The cargo is bound for the Trireme Stranding Camp to the West. More evidence the cult is working with Ptolemy's soldiers. Money, power, and corruption. It is always the same. I need to go to the camp and find out more.
Bayek sailed to the Trireme Stranding Camp.
- Bayek: This is the Trireme Stranding Camp. The information I need is probably in the Captain's tent.
Bayek infiltrated the camp.
- Greek Soldier 1: I just don't understand why we're dealing with those scale huggers!
- Greek Soldier 2: Have you seen the coffers of gold in the Captain's tent? That's a damned good reason right there.
Bayek killed the soldiers and entered the captain's tent. He investigated several crocodile mummies on the floor.
- Bayek: Sobek's children butchered and turned into money sacks! Those godless neks!
He read a note on the floor.
- Mandate from the Nomarch of Faiyum:
It is with great pride that I declare this Trireme Camp to be the primary transit point for religious offerings to Lord Sobek.
This mandate is of the utmost importance. The continued prosperity of Faiyum depends upon every man here observing it. I turst that you will not let me down.
Prosperity for all. Security for all. Culture for All.
-Nomarch
He investigated a chest full of treasure.
- Bayek: Chests full of treasure. This corrupt scheme has been going on for some time.
Bayek read a letter on the table.
- Shipment Correspondence:
Captain,
Here is the payment as usual, including the increase. As you can see, I have complied with your request. I cannot continue the business from which we both profit if I can't rely upon the discretion of your soldiers. I pay your men to act, not to question. Their petty consciences are not greater than the will of Sobek. I am the god's hand. You question me, you question him.
I trust you will bear this in mind in the future. With this I consider the matter settled and expect no more trouble.
Sehetep - Bayek: Correspondence between the Captain and Sehetep. Sehetep again! That poisonous priest from the northern temple is becoming a big problem. I should let Padiaset know about Sehetep. he is not going to like it.
Outcome
Bayek uncovered an act of sacrilege conducted between a cult of Sobek and Ptolemy's soldiers. He rescued Padiaset, who was caught intervening and eliminated the camp responsible and end their operations.
