Under Lock and Key was a virtual representation of one of Arno Dorian's genetic memories, relived by a Helix initiate through the Helix Navigator.
Description[]
With the correct keyhole revealed, Arno only needed the key to the temple door.
Dialogue[]
As Léon jumped over the wall into the orphanage courtyard, Arno arrived.
- Léon: (Hello!)
- Arno: What have you been doing?
- Léon: Nothing. Did you find the lock?
- Arno: Yes. Now I need the key.
- Léon: You know the soldier carrying the chest for the little commandant? I just saw him in the market.
- Arno: (Thank you.) And I told you to stay here, remember?
- Léon: "(Yes, sir.)"
Arno talking with Léon
As Arno left, so did Léon. Reaching the market, Arno found the lieutenant with his men.
- Arno: There you are. Now lead me to the golden key.
Arno tailed the lieutenant.
- Lieutenant: Alert me if you see anything unusual.
- Soldier: Yes, sir.
The lieutenant entered a building and spoke with a raider.
- Lieutenant: What do you have for me this time?
- Raider 1: Silver, nearly enough to fill a chest.
- Lieutenant: Give it to me.
- Raider 1: The Commandant still suspects nothing?
- Lieutenant: He is occupied in Paris. Your usual fee, plus a promotion.
- Raider 1: Tres bon. A pleasure doing business with you.
As the lieutenant ran away, Arno chased and caught him.
- Lieutenant: Guards! I will have you arrested!
- Arno: You will do no such thing. Tell me the location of the chest containing the golden key or I shall reveal your thievery.
- Lieutenant: I am merely seeking a harmless profit.
- Arno: Like a rat hungry for apples?
- Lieutenant: How did you know-
- Arno: Surely the Commandant will find the comparison... enlightening.
- Lieutenant: The chest is under guard within the caverns. Here.
The lieutenant gave Arno the key to the chest.
- Arno: Merci. Now get out of my sight.
Entering the catacombs, Arno found the raiders' hideout. The raiders detected him.
- Raider 2: Invader! We will find you!
Arno raiding the chest
Arno stole the raiders' loot, inciting a riot among several of them. This made his infiltration easier. He then killed an orator speaking to the raiders, causing a panic among those listening to him. Eventually, Arno found Napoleon's chest and unlocked it, taking the golden key within.
- Arno: All that security for a key. What lies behind that door?
Arno escaped the catacombs.
Outcome[]
By blackmailing Napoleon's lieutenant, Arno was able to unlock the commandant's chest. In it, he found the golden key to the temple door.
