Coming Home

Coming Home was a virtual representation of one of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad's genetic memories, relived by Desmond Miles in 2012 through the Animus.

Description
Returning from a journey, Altaïr entered a marketplace.

Dialogue
As Altaïr's path was blocked by a cart, he took to the rooftops to find a way around. After he made his way back to street level, Altaïr noticed two guards on patrol. Altaïr casually walked past the guards without arousing suspicion, eventually arriving at a closed gate. Altaïr observed a nearby merchant. Altaïr approached the merchant and successfully pickpocketed the key from him. After using the key on the gates, Altaïr exited the settlement. Shortly after running towards the village, Altaïr noticed a fellow Assassin lying on the ground, injured. Altaïr accepted the sword and used it against an approaching guard. After killing the guard, Altaïr noticed his path was blocked. Altaïr found a new path and entered the village under siege. Altaïr killed the guards standing in his way. After doing so, he noticed a poorly-constructed platform post. After kicking the post, Altaïr used the new ramp to advance through the village, slaying more guards along the way. After killing several more guards on the streets, Altaïr found a crossbowman on the roof. Altaïr interrogated the man while applying pressure to his back. After gaining the information, Altaïr made his way to the captain's location. Altaïr assassinated the captain and approached a woman. Altaïr left the village and continued on to Alep, finding Al-Mualim in his study.
 * Altaïr: Finally, a settlement! A good opportunity to stretch out a bit. Alep is just ahead. My journey is coming to an end...
 * Altaïr: I should take it easy around here or I'll attract attention.
 * Altaïr: The gates are closed!
 * Altaïr: I think this merchant has a key to go in and out freely...
 * Altaïr: Smoke and flames in the distance... The village before the citadel of Alep! What's happening? I should hurry!
 * Assassin: Help! Please... Help!
 * Altaïr: What happened?
 * Assassin: The village... under attack!
 * Altaïr: Who's attacking the village?
 * Assassin: Temp... Templars... Take this sword... and avenge us...
 * Altaïr: Blocked! I need to find another route!
 * Guard: Where did you come from?
 * Altaïr: I should kick this post so the platform will collapse.
 * Captain: You said everyone was dead! Get rid of this one immediately!
 * Altaïr: I wonder why the Templars are attacking this village...
 * Crossbowman: You might as well kill me; I won't say a word!
 * Crossbowman: ''Enough! I don't know much... Our captain was under orders... to find a man that Lord Basilisk was interested in... That is all I know...
 * Altaïr: Their leader! He hasn't seen me yet. I have to approach him carefully.
 * Woman: Thank God you came! I thought they'd find me and... You must hurry to Alep! Al-Mualim needs to know about this!
 * Altaïr: Al-Mualim! The village is under att...
 * Al-Mualim: I know. It's being taken care of right now. We treaded carelessly. The Templars were following a man... One of ours, one who had vital information for our cause. We lost it... But first, welcome back, Altaïr.
 * Altaïr: It's good to be here again, Al-Mualim.
 * Al-Mualim: Indeed it is. We have a mission for you, one that is of utmost importance for our cause. Come near. The Templars are in possession of a powerful object called the Chalice. Its role is to unite the factions of whoever holds it, the Crusaders or the Saracens. Those who have it will rule these lands. The Templars are keeping it hidden for the time being. Theirs is the way of gold and power. That is not something we can offer. But others might... We need the Chalice. Something that powerful must be kept away from the dealings of men. Altaïr, find it. Bring it here.

Outcome
Altaïr learned of the Chalice and set out to retrieve it.
