Workers' Lament was a virtual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.
Description[]
Bayek offers to help Nito, an overseer of Letopolis, by checking on her workers.
Dialogue[]
Bayek found a woman carrying a heavy load in the Temple of Horus.
- Bayek: Here, let me help you with that.
- Nito: What, you think me helpless?
- Bayek: I am surprised to see a woman in your condition working so hard. The arrival of a child is a blessed event.
- Nito: I am no delicate lily.
- Bayek: Oh, are you in pain?
- Nito: Bah, my little bean is just making herself known.
My workers are so slow! I need to run over and check on them. - Bayek: Allow me, nebet.
Bayek went to look for the workers in the temple complex. He discovered one of the workers in the well, standing outside a tunnel entrance.
- Man: Baba! Ipuy! Can you hear me? Baba! Ipuy!
- Ipuy: I am here!
- Man: Are you okay?
- Ipuy: My leg is hurt. I don't know how bad.
- Man: And Baba?
- Ipuy: I don't know. I can't see him. Get help!
- Man: Please! Help! Quickly!
Bayek climbed down the well and approached the worker.
- Bayek: What happened?
- Man: The tunnel collapsed! Baba and Ipuy are trapped inside!
- Bayek: How can I help?
- Man: Are you strong enough to clear the way? See if you can bring them out. Please, neb, they are my brothers.
- Bayek: Stay here. I will do what I can.
Bayek ventured into the well and discovered a door blocking the entrance to the tunnel.
- Bayek: I'm going to have to force a way through.
He destroyed the wooden door and made his way into the tunnel. He found Ipuy laying on the floor.
- Bayek: Hey there, are you hurt?
- Ipuy: Argh! I twisted my ankle! my brother Baba was working further in. The tunnel collapsed. I don't know if he's alive.
- Bayek: I will get you out first, then find him.
- Ipuy: Careful! I think I heard a hissing sound nearby!
Bayek carried Ipuy out of the tunnels to the worker outside the well.
- Man: Ipuy! I will help him from here!
- Ipuy: You need to go back and find Baba! hurry! He might be hurt, or worse!
- Bayek: Take care of him. I will find your last brother.
- Man: Thank you, neb!
Bayek returned to the tunnel. He passed through a small crack in the wall. He discovered snakes in the tunnels leading into a bigger chamber and killed them.
- Bayek: Peace, Wadjet. Forgive me for killing your green ones. There is no other way through.
He discovered Baba sitting in a chair.
- Bayek: Are you hurt?
- Baba: No, I managed to squeeze in here just before it collapsed. I had no idea this was here. We were digging to reach the river...
- Bayek: That place was probably part of the old temple... Do you need help getting out of here?
- Baba: I am fine. I am going to meet with my brothers and take a break.
- Bayek: What is this place?
Bayek discovered a hidden entrance and exited the tunnels back to the temple. He returned to Nito.
- Bayek: Chief Nito, the well tunnel partially collapsed, but I was able to help the workers.
- Nito: My little bean and I are so fortunate you passed by when you did, Medjay. May the gods bless you a thousand times for your efforts!
- Bayek: Take care of yourself. May the gods bless your little one.
Outcome[]
Bayek was able to Nito look for her workers. He managed to help them escape danger from the collapsed tunnels beneath the temple.
