The Hyena (memory)

The Hyena was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.

Description
Bayek traveled to Giza to track down the Masked One known as the Hyena. First, he had to speak with the local informant, Mered.

Dialogue
Bayek found Mered at his stall in the Giza market. Bayek paid Mered 100 Drachmas. Bayek rode to the quarry with Mered's men. Bayek found the horse at the quarry, which was held by bandits. Bayek retrieved the horse and returned to Mered. Bayek saw a vision of Khaliset wandering the desert with a group of hyenas. She held a lump of silica while standing in front of a pair of prisoners. Mered laughed. Bayek then made his way to Khaliset's lair. Bayek released the prisoner. The prisoner left. Bayek found a small encampent. He found a letter to Khaliset. Bayek found Khaliset's bedding. Bayek noticed a caged hyena. Inside the cage, Bayek moved a brick from the rear wall and found a drawing of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Bayek entered the Tomb of Khufu inside the pyramid. Bayek reached a room below the tomb containing ruins with a strange architecture. Inside the room, Bayek saw large spots of blood. Bayek inspected a corpse. Bayek inspected a set of symbols. Bayek inspected a set of offerings. Bayek inspected a sarcophagus. In his mind, Bayek reconstructed the scene. Bayek opened the sarcophagus, and saw the mummified corpse of a child. Khaliset snuck up on Bayek with her hyenas. Khaliset fired an arrow at Bayek, but missed. As he attempted to pursue her, she threw a smoke bomb. Bayek left the tomb and confronted Khaliset outside the pyramid. Khaliset fired an arrow, but missed again. Bayek killed Khaliset. In her final moments, she and Bayek stood in a pool of water. In the vision of her final moments, Khaliset's hyenas approached her. Khaliset was pulled into the water by the Hyenas, representing her entry into the Duat. As Khaliset disappeared into the Duat, Bayek looked at a feather in his hand.
 * Bayek: If I am to find the Hyena, I must first speak to Mered, Apollodorus' contact. He's a merchant somewhere in this marketplace.
 * Mered: Welcome to Mered's Wares, traveler. Well? What do you think?
 * Bayek: Junk.
 * Mered: Be off, then.
 * Bayek: Ah, I haven't finished.
 * Mered: Are you blind? I've nothing left to show you.
 * Bayek:  But you've much to tell me. About the Hyena.
 * Mered: Ah, funny. As it turns out, that happens to be the most expensive thing I'm offering.
 * Bayek: Hm, funny indeed.
 * Mered: Delivery upon payment. Do you have enough to barter with me?
 * Bayek: Here, your absurd fee. Now what can you tell me?
 * Mered: The Hyena... is not her real name. Hahahaha! Easy, easy! A poor attempt at humor, I'm afraid. Her name is Khaliset.
 * Bayek: Where can I find her?
 * Mered: A favor. Some customers of mine took my horse after a dispute. Their camp lies in a quarry just south of here. Take my men, retrieve my horse, and I'll give you what you came for.
 * Bayek: Agh, how you found yourself in Apollodorus' company escapes me.
 * Mered: You'll get it for me... if Apollodorus wants my continued service... A favor for a favor. My mount, for the Hyena's location. Give my men a hand. They'll know exactly what to look for. It'll be easy. Get going, before those bastards do something stupid with my mount.
 * Warrior: You are friends with Mered?''
 * Bayek: Barely. He is a necessary ally.
 * Warrior: Mered rarely keeps protectors as allies. He doesn't trust authorities. But he pays well. And very few pay at all here in Giza. Cannot trust the sand in your hand.
 * Bayek: What can you tell me of the Hyena? This Khaliset girl?
 * Warrior: Ha ha! We speak one word, and we are hyena food. Nice try. Come on! Be on guard, we have a horse to retrieve.
 * Bayek: This must be Mered's horse. He neglected to tell me his "customers" were bandits.
 * Mered: You're back! Well, look at this!
 * Bayek: You failed to mention it was in the possession of bandits.
 * Mered: Slipped my mind! Hmm... good. Stronger than mine.
 * Bayek: I thought you said it was yours...
 * Mered: Ahem, yes! Yes, of course it is! You've done good by me, my friend.
 * Bayek: Then you'll deliver as promised.
 * Mered: My word is my word... but I've one more thing to ask of you.
 * Bayek: Ack, I'm done with your games.
 * Mered: All right... the Hyena lives in a cavern just over those hills. Day and night, she roams the desert, collecting silica. Precious tear drops of the gods. What has happened to those who have interfered is best left unsaid.
 * Bayek: If I find you've led me on another futile chase, it won't be my words that hit your ears.
 * Mered: A thousand promises. I have no reason to defy you. Don't die out there. Hehehehe. Khaliset takes shelter in a cave in the hills behind Menkaure.
 * Bayek: So this is the Hyena's lair. No sign of Khaliset, though. Mered was telling the truth. I need to figure out where she went.
 * Prisoner: I do not want to die! Help! Help me! Please! Do not... do not let her take me! Please! Get me out!
 * Prisoner: Mercy. Thank you, Medjay.
 * Bayek: The Hyena. Where is she?
 * Prisoner: I do not know. I am... I'm the only one left! She took the others away hours ago!
 * Bayek: Took them where?
 * Prisoner: She kills them! I know it! She... she... her hands. Oh, gods! Her hands are so bloody.
 * Bayek: Peace, friend. You are free. I will deal with Khaliset.
 * Bayek: Where is Khaliset taking captives? And why?
 * Bayek: Someone has made this their home.
 * A Message to Khaliset: Khaliset, It has been long since we have heard from you. We had expected more relics by now. None of the previous items were of any use. I have sent on more drachmas for you, should you need to purchase any items from the markets. We prefer to cast suspicion elsewhere, until we can show our hand. If the silica is running dry as you claimed it has been, we will need to find a new location. We expect you to scout for one. Send your reply through our usual channels.  The Snake.
 * Bayek: A letter. The symbol of the Snake is on it.
 * Bayek: This is where Khaliset slept, protected from sandstorms. The lotus flower of rebirth. She must have picked these for a reason.
 * Bayek: Now why would one of her loyal beasts be caged?
 * Bayek: Khufu's tomb. She has detailed every crevice. Ah, she has not finished. That is where I will find her. I will head to the pyramids.
 * Khaliset's Drawing: A drawing of the Great Pyramid of Khufu, most likely made by Khaliset. She seems to have drawn attention to something beneath the tomb.
 * Khaliset: You! Who dares enter here, where silence has befallen her?
 * Bayek: A Medjay who has treaded many dunes to find you. Hide if you must, Hyena, but this tomb will not protect you.
 * Khaliset: I demand that you stop here. Turn back now, and I will excuse this intrusion.
 * Bayek: Siwa was an intrusion.
 * Khaliset: Be gone! Osiris cannot be disturbed!
 * Bayek: This trap door, what is it protecting?
 * Khaliset: Heathen! The wakeful one is asleep. Go no further, or I will drench these arid plains with your blood!
 * Bayek: What is this place? A tomb beneath a tomb... Is this where you hide, Hyena?
 * Bayek: What gruesome madness happened here!? A dark place with a window to the gods. What kind of ritual is she performing?
 * Bayek: Still warm. And this ceremonial knife. This was a sacrifice.
 * Bayek: Hrm... Khaliset drew these symbols here. Was she trying to figure out their meaning?
 * Bayek: Offerings to Osiris. Protector of the dead.
 * Bayek: This sarcophagus is decorated with goddesses of the mother. Strange symbols are marked all over it. I think I know what dark deeds Khaliset was after here.
 * Bayek: Khaliset was doing a ritual. She began by calling to Osiris with these offerings. She used a knife to sacrifice her captives. She collected their blood for some dark purpose. She was attempting to learn these strange symbols. She must have found them in this room. Once she knew the symbols, she carved them here. And ended the ritual with a final prayer over the sarcophagus. Khaliset must be trying to bring someone back to life. But just who is buried down here?
 * Bayek: Child...
 * Khaliset: My child!
 * Bayek: You lost your child?
 * Khaliset: I haven't. Her rest is temporary. You have intervened in her reawakening.
 * Bayek: And yet, you aligned yourself to the Order. Ravaged this tomb. Khaliset-
 * Khaliset: Don't you dare say my name! My name does not merit your lips, you who have dishonored her! I am a good mother! Hiyaah!
 * Khaliset: You are no match for me, desert scum! You are no different than any of the others who have come before you! Come! Fight me if you must. Then your blood will be part of my daughter's resurrection. I will bury you in the sand, fool.
 * Khaliset: Now, I will show you what happens to those who desecrate my daughter's tomb! Hiyaah!
 * Khaliset: , protect me from this defiler.
 * Bayek: I have come only for you, Hyena. The gods need not be involved.
 * Khaliset: You have infringed upon Eshe's place of rest, trespasser. The gods are already involved. And so you will find the same fate as all other trespassers. Death by my hand.
 * Bayek: You are in pursuit of the impossible, Khaliset. No measure of magic can bring our children back.
 * Khaliset: My child will come back through the powers of Those Who Came Before.
 * Bayek: Only the gods came before.
 * Khaliset: Some came between the gods and us. It is their gift. You cannot defeat me, Medjay! Come and face me! My heart bleeds without me Eshe by my side. Be thankful. Your blood will help bring her back.
 * Bayek: Your daughter is dead, Khaliset. Nothing will return her. Nothing can.
 * Khaliset: I will save my daughter no matter the cost. Enough of your pointless words!
 * Bayek: ''Then heed my weapon instead, Hyena.
 * Khaliset: Hahahahaha! This is who they send after me? The bugs on my beasts are fiercer!
 * Bayek: You would be best to give yourself up, Khaliset. I know your pain.
 * Khaliset: You know nothing of my pain!
 * Bayek: No child would want this from their parent, Hyena!
 * Khaliset: Do not speak of what my child wants! You fight like a man without passion! Lay down your weapon. It will be faster that way. Are you ready to be part of something greater than yourself, Medjay?
 * Khaliset: Do I walk among the dead now?
 * Bayek: A just end. You defiled the dead and enabled the people who killed my son. All on a selfish whim.
 * Khaliset: No! I gathered the silica for them - it powered the magic stone of Those Who Came Before. You saw it, didn't you? The symbols only needed to be learned.
 * Bayek: It is not meant for us.
 * Khaliset: It makes no difference now. I wanted to protect my daughter in life and death. I have done neither...
 * Khaliset: Osiris! Please grant me a reunion. She walks alone in the ! Am I to remain in the forever?!
 * Khaliset: I just want my daughter back... please!?
 * Bayek: May you find your daughter in the afterlife, Khaliset. May the Lord of the Duat guide you.

Outcome
Bayek assassinated Khaliset, ending her terror over the people of Giza.
