The Scarab's Sting
The Scarab's Sting was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.
Description
Apollodorus sends Bayek to Sais to track down a member of the Order of the Ancients: The Scarab, a cruel shadow terrorizing the region. Bayek's contact is Harkhuf the brewer, who has collected what stories he can about the mythical Scarab.
Dialogue
Bayek rides to Sais, finding two men working outside at the brewery. He approaches one of them.
- Bayek: I seek the master brewer, Harkuf.
- Worker: I have no time. Speak to one of my overseers, if you must.
- Bayek: You misunderstand. I am a Medjay. Apollodorus sent me.
- Worker: Apollodorus! Of course.
- Bayek: He sent me for the Scarab, the shadow that darkens Sais.
- Worker: Shh! Please! That is an evil name to speak aloud!
Apollodorus knows that people are suffering. In my position, many confide in me.
Trade is strangled, the soldiers run rampant, and the weight of Ptolemy's taxation crush the breath from us.
Come with me. Let us retire where we have a roof overhead.
