I fought alongside Ali and his rebels to escape the garrison, taking down guards and reviving fallen allies. After returning to the bureau to show Fuladh the bloodied feather from Wasif's execution...

Why? Do you lack the stomach for an honest fight? No, I just... I just... Well, I'm honest assassination. I hope you trained your men better than your Lord trained his. Can you not mean for yourself? The fight is almost over already. He never come out. More God! Perhaps our cause abuse to be more. This is a good day. I will meet you at the Bureau. I should return to Funal at the bureau. If you mention the cat, he will come, and here he is. Go softly, come softly, so the cat does not gore you. You have honored your words, but sea flies dead, and all who hear of it, hear of me. I regret we could not save, Beshi. He was a brave man. Already they tell his story throughout Baghdad. He will free more by his death than he did in life. Freedom has a price. The only question is whether we will pay it. Beeshi was proud to. I have much to do. I would wish peace upon you both, but we know that is not in your future, nor mine. I fear Ali is right. Nothing will stop his rebellion now. Maybe nothing should. The things he says. At the garrison, we saw Wasif arguing with Governor Muhammad Ibn Tahrir. Muhammad? That is odd. I will keep eyes on him. Basim, I am here. Basim, Tamahal. I cannot keep them waiting. Are they aware your companions that their hunter is hunted in his sleep? If it were in my sleep alone, I could bear it. But it followed when I fled Anbar. Now it stalks me when I slay those I hunt. The ones from the palace, in the masks. Four are dead at my hand. The last, the head of the snake, will join them soon. Why slit its throat when you could loosen its tongue? What? Why would I... The Ginny only struck in sleep. It never dogged you by the day until you reached into that chest. The mast once prized what lay within, the ancient object that walk at your touch. They may hold more answers living than dead. I hunt my enemies. I do not break bread with them. I took an oath, Nihal. How can you hunt when you are hounded? If you could walk the dark unburdened, you could better serve the light. I stay my blade from the flesh of the innocent, not from the order of the ancients. If you will not ask your foes, then at least ask your friends what slept in that chest. And why they sought it? My companions wait for me at the Harbia Bureau. Clear your mind, Basim. Focus on the task before you.

@ridwanan: Ali announcing that they were leaving through the main gate was such a powerful moment. They had entered the garrison quietly, but after taking down Wasif, they basically walked out like they owned the place.

@pikachuuuuu: That torch wielding guard probably thought he had an easy opening, only for you to circle around and take him down. The poor guy really picked the wrong assassin to chase.
