An Unexpected Visitor

Ezio meets up with his old friend Leonardo da Vinci in Rome after following a mysterious voice. Leonardo explains of his involvment with the Borgia.

Dialogue
Ezio hears a voice calling to him.

Leonardo draws on a near by bench
 * Mysterious Voice: Pst. Ezio! Over here. Ezio! Come here.
 * Ezio: Chi è lá? (Who is there)?
 * Leonardo: Ezio!
 * Ezio: Leonardo!
 * Leonardo: I knew you were behind the break-in at Sant’Angelo! It is good to see you, friend.
 * Ezio: Come here. (They embrace).
 * Leonardo: Forgive me. The Borgia have commandeered my services. Actually, they would have killed me had I refused.
 * Ezio: What do they want?
 * Leonardo: War machines. I have constructed weapons for all the Borgia guards and other terrible monstrosities besides. They are very well designed, Ezio. Here. The names of the Templars overseeing their construction. Cesare intends to supply his army with my creations. You must dismantle them.
 * Ezio: Grazie (Thank you). I will take care of the plans and the machines.
 * Leonardo: There is far graver news, I am afraid. They have the Apple.
 * Ezio: Yes, I know. I gave the Apple to Mario.
 * Leonardo: I am sorry, Ezio. Cesare left it in my hands to study, to make it work. Then Rodrigo took it from me, I know not where.
 * Ezio: I will recover it in time. Leonardo, I have lost all the codex inventions you once fashioned for me.
 * Leonardo: Hmm. Remaking them will be easy. I never forget a design, but you must compensate me for the raw material.
 * Ezio: Really? They are not paying you at il Vaticano (the Vatican)?
 * Leonardo: Very...very little. If we are to do this, we must appear to not meet at all.

Ezio sits and Leonardo follows. Ezio can now purchase the double blade, the climb leap glove, or Poison darts from Leonardo.
 * Ezio: A hand pointing?
 * Leonardo: It’s pointing to where you should sit. So, sit!
 * Ezio: Yes, maestro.

If Ezio does not buy anything:
 * Leonardo: Wait here. I will be back soon. I must return to my workshop. Wait here.
 * Ezio: (When purchasing the double blade) I can kill double the guards.
 * Ezio: (When purchasing the climb leap glove) Now nothing will be out of my reach.
 * Ezio: (When purchasing poison darts) Just a small sting and my enemies will fall.


 * Leonardo: I will be in the area for a little while longer if you change your mind.


 * Rebecca: Desmond, I’ve scanned Leo’s location into the map so you keep track of him when he moves. To synchronize with Ezio you will have to destroy Leo’s machines. I’ve marked the whereabouts of the Templars overseeing their construction. I’ll update the map when the machines’ locations are found.

Outcome
Ezio can now meet with Leonardo in different locations around Rome and purchase the double blade, the climb leap glove, and poison darts from Leonardo. Leonardo also designs a usuable parachutes for Ezio, which he can then purchase from any Tailor

Trivia

 * Just before Leonardo appears, there is a cardboard box which Ezio walks over to. [|This is one of the references in the Assassin's Creed Series to the Metal Gear Series.]
 * When Ezio says Chi è lá? (Who is there)?, the english subtitles in brackets in-game are actually “whos is there?”
