Fish Out Of Water

Fish Out Of Water was a visual representation of one of Bayek's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.
==Description==
When a merchant complains of being shaken down by a fisherman for destroying his nets, Bayek smells something fishy.
==Dialogue==
While in the Moon Curser Village, Bayek came across a merchant and a priest in a hut.
*Dennu: A little sunstroke will not stop me, I must have justice!
*Priest: You must rest, neb (sir)!
*Dennu: And every minute I keen like a sick infant, that cheat has my father's ring.
Bayek approached the merchant.
*Dennu: They fuss like clucking hens!
*Bayek: How did you end up here, neb (sir)?
*Dennu: A fisherman on the road to Swenett, said I tore his nets and set the soldiers on me! They took everything I owned.
*Bayek: The soldiers stole from you?
*Dennu: Recompense for the injury. As if nets are worth my father's ring! The Steward should do something, but I waited all day in the sun to see him.
*Bayek: A suspicious scheme indeed.
*Dennu: And the road is busy, many head to the desert west of the village. More will fall foul of it!
*Bayek: I will talk to this so-called fisherman.
*Dennu: And I will go again to the Steward. One way or another justice will be done.The Steward must listen, or others will be in danger.
Bayek headed north, where he found a couple of fishing nets. He overheard a voice.
*Hagiel: No! My nets! You've ruined my livelihood. Will no one give me justice?
*Soldier 1: Another troublemaker.
*Soldier 2: Pay for the damage, neb (sir). Or face the cells.
The soldiers attacked Bayek, who eliminated them. Bayek approached the fisherman.
*Hagiel: Please, it's not what you think! Please!
*Bayek: I think that you and the soldiers are working together. Extorting travelers on the road.
*Hagiel: Ah, so it is what you think. But I am as much as a victim as the merchants.
*Bayek: How so, a ratty little thief like you?
*Hagiel: Ratty? No, the steward is to blame! He holds my family captive, threatened to kill them if I did not go along with his scheme.
*Bayek: Your family?
*Hagiel: My cat! Lord Furface is all the family I have. Most pay up without a fuss, those that don't the guards convince. And the steward takes all.
*Bayek: I do not want to see you here again.
*Hagiel: No! No, you won't. A man can always get a new cat.
The merchant left the area.
*Bayek: The merchant puts his head in the lion's mouth, I must find him first.
Bayek travelled north to the estate, where a man nearby commented on a murder that had taken place.
*Man 1: The steward goes too far! I turned a blind eye to his corruption because he let me be, but this is murder.
*Man 2: Dennu was no threat, he just wanted his father's ring returned.
Bayek approached Dennu's body.
*Bayek: Why would they do this? He was no threat.
He investigated the merchant's body and found a threatening note.
*Bayek: This man was murdered as a warning to me?
Bayek headed to the shipyard. With the help of Senu, he identified the steward amongst his guards.
*Bayek: The steward's oppressive reign is about to end.
Bayek assassinated the steward.
*Bayek: You should have protected these people, now you will answer to Osiris.
Bayek investigated the steward's body and recovered the merchant's ring.
<tabber>|-|If Bayek had not visited the afterlife yet=
*Bayek: His father's ring. I wonder if there is a way to return it to him.
|-|If Bayek had visited the afterlife=
*Bayek: His father's ring. Perhaps if ever I venture into his afterlife, I can return it.

==Outcome==
