Starving Times

Starving Times was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.

Description
Arno met with Élise at le Marais.

Dialogue
Arno left for the docks. Guard: Order, order! Arno reached the docks and saw a barge sail past the dock workers. Arno followed the barge. A cargo crane collapsed, clearing the path for Arno. The barge stopped at a guarded quay. The captain pulled out his orders. Lévesque left. Arno stole the orders from the captain and escaped the docks. He then read the orders.
 * Arno: What do you know about grain merchants?
 * Élise: Good to see you too. Most of them are very poor just now. Why?
 * Arno: I have a lead on Germain. He has a woman named Marie buying up grain shipments and diverting them to a private dock.
 * Élise: Marie Lévesque?
 * Arno: You know her?
 * Élise: The Lévesques have been Templars since the Third Crusade. Marie was the only one who argued against Germain's exile; I'm not surprised she's thrown in with him.
 * Arno: Any idea where we might find her?
 * Élise: Not her, no. But what little grain makes it to Paris these days is unloaded at the Hôtel de Ville docks.
 * Arno: Promising. I'll start there.
 * Élise: Perhaps I can learn something of Madame Lévesque's whereabouts.
 * Worker 1: Hey! Come back here!
 * Worker 2: You've missed the quay, you dolts!
 * Worker 3: Where are you going?
 * Arno: Time to chase a boat.
 * Captain: To port! Pull! Pull! Pull! Faster, you dogs! Watch to starboard! Row, god damn you!
 * Woman: Look out!
 * Captain: Heave to! Tie off that bowline!
 * Lévesque: Captain. Any problems?
 * Captain: No, madame.
 * Lévesque: You have your orders?
 * Captain: Here, madame.
 * Lévesque: Good. And I'm instructed to tell you to make certain one of the bags leaks.
 * Captain: Err... yes, madame.
 * Captain: Get to work!
 * Arno: The Palais Luxembourg, eh? And what are you up to there?

Outcome
Arno learned from Élise that the woman hoarding grain was called Marie Lévesque. Stealing a set of orders from the captain of a grain barge, he discovered that Lévesque would be at the Luxembourg Palace.
