A Cautious Alliance

A Cautious Alliance was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.

Description
Arno met with Élise at the Café Théâtre.

Dialogue
Arno pulled down his hood. Élise looked speechlessly. Arno brought a blindfolded Élise to the Assassin hideout. Arno brought Élise before the Assassin Council. Arno took off the blindfold. The Assassins in the room discussed the matter loudly, before Mirabeau silenced them. Arno and Élise left the hideout. Élise began running. Arno ran after Élise. Arno caught up with Élise as she stopped at Germain's residence. Arno and Élise entered Germain's residence. Arno and Élise entered Germain's workshop. Élise investigated the workshop, while guards were heard. The guards attacked. Arno and Élise killed the attackers. Arno found a door. Élise kicked the door open. The room turned out to be an office with Templar banners on the walls. Élise discovered a book. Snipers fired through the windows, and the two took cover by the wall. Arno killed the snipers.
 * Élise: So.
 * Arno: So.
 * Élise: Seems you've been busy.
 * Arno: Tracking down the man who killed your father, yes.
 * Élise: Best of luck. He's killed most of my allies, and intimidated the rest into silence. I'm no closer now than I was two years ago.
 * Arno: I've seen him.
 * Élise: What? When? Where can I find him?
 * Arno: I'm not sure that's a good idea. He wants you dead, Élise.
 * Élise: What, you want to protect me?
 * Arno: I want to help you. The Brotherhood has resources, manpower-
 * Élise: You cannot be serious. I don't trust the Assassins.
 * Arno: Do you trust me?
 * Arno: I haven't changed that much, Élise. I'm still the same boy who, who distracted the cook while you stole the jam... the same one who helped you over the wall into that dog-infested orchard.
 * Élise: All right. Take me to your Brotherhood. I'll hear their offer.
 * Arno: "Offer" may be a bit strong...
 * Assassin 1: Is that...?
 * Assassin 2: ...Bloody Templar....
 * Assassin 3: What's he doing?
 * Assassin 2: Really?
 * Arno: They're a touch paranoid when it comes to security.
 * Élise: Two right turns, seventy three steps, then down a flight of stairs, a left, and another right. Did I get all that?
 * Bellec: What the hell have you done this time, pisspot?
 * Arno: The Templars have marked her for death.
 * Bellec: So you brought her here?
 * Élise: "The Brotherhood has resources, manpower...."
 * Bellec: Shut up.
 * Mirabeau: Well. What have we here?
 * Élise: My name is-
 * Mirabeau: For heaven's sake, take that blindfold off. Ridicolous.
 * Élise: My name is Élise de la Serre. My father was François de la Serre, Grand Master of the Templar Order. I've come to ask for your help.
 * Mirabeau: Continue.
 * Trenet: Mirabeau!
 * Quemar: Must we rehash this debate again?
 * Mirabeau: We must, and we will, Master Quemar. If you cannot see the advantage in being owed a favor by François de la Serre's daughter, I despair for our future. Continue, (Miss) de la Serre.
 * Bellec: Here we go.
 * Élise: You are not men with whom I would normally parlay, (sir). But my father is dead, as are my allies within the Order. If I must turn to the Assassins for my revenge, so be it.
 * Bellec: "Parlay" my arse. This is a trick to make us lower our guard. I say we kill her and send her head back as a warning.
 * Arno: Bellec!
 * Mirabeau: Enough! Plainly this discussion is better conducted in private. If you will excuse us, (Miss) de la Serre.
 * Élise: Certainly.
 * Mirabeau: Arno, perhaps you should accompany her. I'm sure you two have much to talk about.
 * Élise: That went about as well as I expected.
 * Arno: Give it time. Mirabeau will talk them around.
 * Élise: Do you really think we'll find him? After all this time?
 * Arno: His luck can't last forever. François Germain believed Lafrenière was-
 * Élise: François Germain?
 * Arno: Yes.
 * Élise: Where is he?
 * Arno: He shop's on the rue St-Antoine, why?
 * Arno: What the-? Élise!
 * Arno: Élise! Slow down! Wait for me! What are you doing? Where are you going?
 * Arno: What was that about?
 * Élise: Arno... François Germain was my father's lieutenant.
 * Arno: What?
 * Élise: He was cast out of the Order when I was a girl. Something about heretical notions, or Jacques de Molay, I'm not entirely sure. But he should be dead. He died years ago.
 * Arno: Did anyone tell him that?
 * Élise: I would very much like to ask him a few questions.
 * Arno: So would I.
 * Élise: Empty.
 * Arno: Upstairs. That's where his workshop was.
 * Élise: Let's go.
 * Arno: It might not even be the same Germain....
 * Élise: Tall? Grey hair? Eyes two different colors?
 * Arno: All right, perhaps it is the same Germain.
 * Arno: Looks like no one's home.
 * Arno: Élise...
 * Élise: Don't tell me. It's a trap?
 * Élise: It's a trap.
 * Guard: Well, well, look who it is. Kill them.
 * Arno: Well, that was bracing.
 * Élise: Just like that time in Marseille.
 * Arno: A bit more blood this time around.
 * Élise: There's nothing here.
 * Arno: He must have known his bluff wouldn't hold up.
 * Élise: So we've lost him again.
 * Arno: Maybe not. Let's keep looking.
 * Arno: Locked. Maybe we could-
 * Arno: ...do that.
 * Arno: Well, now I know why this wasn't on the official tour.
 * Élise: Arno. Look. It's him. The bastard killed my father.
 * Arno: We have to tell Mirabeau. As soon as-
 * Arno: I'll take care of this! Meet me at Mirabeau's estate! Stay down! Do you see them?
 * Élise: The windows across the street! Watch out!

Outcome
Élise was brought before the Assassin Council, although she was unable to land an agreement with them. While Mirabeu convened with the Council, Arno and Élise discovered her father's killer to be François-Thomas Germain, the silversmith Arno had met before.
