The Fall of Robespierre

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

Description
After having discredited Robespierre, Arno met with Élise, who had news of the situation's development.

Dialogue
As Arno followed with Élise, crowds of Jacobins and opponents of Robespierre walked the streets. Arno and Élise came across a destroyed carriage and several corpses. Arno found a National Guard survivor. Arno found another wounded guardsman. Following his directions, Arno came across another wounded guardsman. Following his directions, Arno found a crowd surrounding Robespierre and his Paris Commune guards. As the Commune guards fought the National Guard, Robespierre ran, and Arno tailed him. In the meantime, the National Guard also ran after Robespierre. Robespierre eventually arrived at the Hôtel de Ville. Robespierre entered. Arno infiltrated the Hôtel de Ville. Arno quietly began opening the door to the room in which Robespierre hid. As Arno opened the door fully, Robespierre noticed him and grabbed a pistol. Arno walked towards him quickly, took his pistol and pointed it at him. Élise walked into the room Élise pointed her pistol at Robespierre. Élise shot Robespierre in the jaw. As he screamed in pain, Robespierre wrote down Germain's location on a piece of paper. As Arno and Élise ran away, the National Guard arrived to arrest Robespierre.
 * Arno: I got your message. What's going on?
 * Élise: We may have gone too far in discrediting Robespierre.
 * Arno: What happened?
 * Élise: He's been arrested.
 * Arno: What?
 * Élise: Apparently he made vague threats about a purge against "enemies of the state" and the Committee turned on him. They're taking him to Luxembourg prison. He's scheduled for execution in the morning.
 * Arno: Then we'd best get to him first.
 * Jacobins: Death to the enemies of freedom! Paris for Robespierre!
 * Protesters:  Down with the tyrant Robespierre! Paris for the guillotine, more like. The blood of Danton choke him!
 * Arno: What in the hell...?
 * Élise: These men were National Guard. Robespierre's escort. Damn, if we've lost him....
 * Arno: Let's not panic just yet. We might be able to find some sign of what happened.
 * Arno: Élise! What happened here?
 * Guardsman 1: We were ambushed. Troops from the Paris Commune attacked us en route. They were trying to free the prisoners.
 * Arno: Did they take Robespierre?
 * Guardsman 1: I'm not sure. The fighting left me behind. They fell back that way.
 * Arno: (Thank you.) Go find yourself a doctor.
 * Élise: If he's still in custody, they'll have taken him to the Luxembourg prison.
 * Arno: But if not, they'll need to hole up somewhere nearby. They won't get very far with half the city turned out against Robespierre.
 * Élise: I'll check the prison. You follow the riots, see if you can pick up a trail.
 * Arno: Right.
 * Arno: Where is Robespierre?
 * Guardsman 2: They took him that way.
 * Arno: Where did they go?
 * Guardsman 3: They went that way.
 * Protesters: Bastard! Murderer! Tyrant!
 * Commune guard 1: Run, sir! We'll hold this lot until reinforcements arrive!
 * Robespierre: You are a hero of France, (my friend!)
 * Protesters: Never again the tyranny! Remember the Girondists! 
 * Jacobins: The Commune stands for Robespierre! The Supreme Being save us! Robespierre! Robespierre! Traitors! Is this how you thank the savior of France?
 * Protester: Remember Danton!
 * Commune guard 2: Thank God you made it, sir. The Commune stands with you.
 * Robespierre: Thank you, Sergeant. Your loyalty does you credit.
 * Commune guard 3: Best get inside, sir. The Convention's soldiers will be here soon.
 * Robespierre: Yes, of course. I place myself in your capable hands.
 * Official: Be it known that the Paris Commune, by dint of its actions protecting the criminal Robespierre, is now in open rebellion against the nation. Soldiers under the command of the National Convention have been dispatched to apprehend the traitor Robespierre and his followers. Citizens are advised to stay in their homes while justice is carried out. Be it further known that Citizen Robespierre, Citizen Hanriot, and all their allies are declared outlaw! Any citizen found to be aiding these criminals will share their fate upon the guillotine. Revolutionary justice shall prevail!
 * Commune guard 4: We'll never hold this place if the Convention attacks.
 * Commune guard 5: Five more were missing at last muster. At this rate the Convention won't have to fire a shot.
 * Robespierre: Damn him! I sent for Germain hours ago!
 * Robespierre: Shit!
 * Robespierre: Germain warned me about you. You're one of them, aren't you? An Assassin.
 * Arno: Not anymore. Where is Germain?
 * Arno: Élise?
 * Élise: We don't have much time. Where's Germain?
 * Robespierre: I will never talk.
 * Élise: Then write.
 * Élise: The Temple. I should have known. I hope you enjoy revolutionary justice, (sir.)
 * Guardsman 4: Seize him!

Outcome
Robespierre was arrested and sent to be executed the following morning. In the meantime, Arno and Élise finally learned that Germain hid at the Temple.
