A Friendly Hand

A Friendly Hand was a virtual representation of one of Nikolai Orelov's genetic memories, relived by a research analyst at Abstergo Entertainment through the Helix Navigator.

Description
Nikolai Orelov traversed Kazan to reach his friend, Leon Trotsky.

Dialogue
Orelov arrived at a guard post. The Assassin continued. Orelov reached a heavily guarded train yard. Nearing the bridge, Orelov was spotted by the soldiers. After narrowly escaping the search, Orelov overheard two soldiers. Orelov intercepted the messenger and reached the canal. Orelov infiltrated a warehouse on the other side of the canal. Reaching the roof, Orelov used a cable to enter Trotsky's house through a first-floor window. Orelov found his friend.
 * Orelov: Wait here. I need to find my friend, Leon. He'll help us reach the Brotherhood in Moscow.
 * Anastasia: Is he an Assassin, like you?
 * Orelov: No, he is neither Assassin, nor Templar. Stay hidden, stay warm. Keep it safe.
 * Anastasia: Why? Are you not coming back?
 * Orelov: Did I not give you my word? Stay out of sight and wait for my return. Dosvedanya, Anya.
 * Orelov: Something's not right. Only soldiers in the streets...
 * Officer: Let no one break the curfew! Everyone you see is a spy for the Whites, shoot on sight!
 * Soldier: Why not attack now? Trotsky is with us!
 * Officer: The fifth army will be there at dawn. When they're here, we'll retake the city. For now, the Czech legion is too strong.
 * Orelov: At dawn? Dammit, Leon, I didn't expect to find you in the middle of a battle.
 * Orelov: I must avoid the searchlights... There are Templar snipers everywhere. Maybe I can find a way to deal with this light using Tesla's little toy.
 * Orelov: I need to time my run through these lights.
 * Soldier: Spy! Shoot the spy! Search the area, there might be more of them!
 * Officer: Tovarich! The fifth army is here! Bring the news to Trotsky. It's time to retake the city.
 * Orelov: Wait! I can't let you start your war, not yet.
 * Orelov: There you are, Leon, well-protected... maybe too well... If I take this boat, I can pull myself across the canal.
 * Orelov: I can force the lift down, if I can reach the junction box on the other side of the building.
 * Orelov: I trust he's in.
 * Orelov: Tovarich Trotsky.
 * Trotsky: Kolya! You scared the hell out of me!
 * Orelov: It's good to see you, my friend.
 * Trotsky: Is it true, you have one of the Tsar's daughters?
 * Orelov: Yes. I'm taking her to Moscow.
 * Trotsky: You didn't bring her with you?
 * Orelov: Can you arrange our transportation?
 * Trotsky: Bring the girl... I can't do this if you're in two different places.
 * Orelov: She's under my protection.
 * Trotsky: I'm sorry, Kolya. I wish you'd have just brought the girl with you.
 * Orelov: No! You're making a mistake, Leon!
 * Trotsky: I don't care about your war with the Templars, Nikolaï. The workers' revolution is all that matters. And this girl is a symbol. She has to die.

Outcome
Nikolai Orelov was taken a prisoner after the betrayal by his friend Trotsky.
