Age Is Just a Number was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
Kassandra met an old woman outside the Chora in Delphi.
Dialogue[]
- Auxesia: A misthios! Well, aren't you a sight to my aged eyes. Young. Energetic. Perhaps I should just pay for your body instead of your help.
- Kassandra: Watch yourself. That's not my line of work.
- Auxesia: Forgive me. I'm amazed the gods would send someone so well-suited to help me, but who is also so appealing to me physically.
- Kassandra: By the gods, woman, I said spare me the details.
- Auxesia: I wasn't expecting a tough-looking mercenary to be so squeamish about a little fun.
Auxesia telling Kassandra of the ingredients
- Kassandra: What does this have to do with me?
- Auxesia: I've learned of a powerful elixir, which if consumed will give someone the vigor and stamina of Eros. If you can gather me the ingredients, I can make it for my husband.
- Kassandra: All right, I'll find the ingredients... If you promise to keep your nocturnal activities to yourself.
- Auxesia: I have some drachmae, and Koragos has more. If you can bring me some bear scrotum and a deer tongue, I can make the elixir.
- Kassandra: Oh, is that all you need?
- Auxesia: Don't worry, I'll reward you well. I'm sure Koragos will be thankful also.
("Where will I find a bear?")
- Kassandra: Where can I find a bear near here?
- Auxesia: I heard there's a cave near the sanctuary that a large male bear has claimed.
("Where will I find a deer?")
- Kassandra: Are there any deer nearby?
- Auxesia: This is Phokis, there's deer all over the place.
("Where did you learn this recipe?")
- Kassandra: This elixir sounds odd. Where did you learn about it?
- Auxesia: Why, the Pythia told me about it. She's so wise, solving a problem I didn't even know I'd have.
([LEAVE] "I'll get the ingredients.")
- Kassandra: I'll be back with the ingredients soon.
Kassandra travelled north to recover the items. She killed a bear and recovered its scrotum.
- Kassandra: This smells awful. Who would drink an elixir made from this?
She then killed a dear and recovered its tongue.
- Kassandra: What kind of elixir uses ingredients like this?
Koragos pleading with his wife about not being able to satisfy her
Kassandra returned to Auxesia in Sanctuary of Delphi, who was now standing with Koragos.
- Auxesia: Misthios, you're back. And not a moment too soon.
- Kassandra: I got what you asked for.
- Koragos: Who is this, Auxesia?
- Auxesia: This is the misthios who's going to reignite our spark, my love.
- Koragos: Oh no! We've been going through this, I can't satisfy you anymore. You're going to kill me with your lust.
- Auxesia: Nonsense. I'm going to make you an elixir that will give you the vigor of a man a fraction of your age.
- Koragos: Gods save me. I cannot do this anymore.
- Kassandra: By all the gods, will someone just pay me? If I hear any more of this talk I'm going to be sick.
- Auxesia: Bah! Young people. They don't understand true love. Here, this should be more than enough.
- Kassandra: My thanks.
- Auxesia: Come, Koragos. I'll mix the elixir. You get the oils ready.
Kassandra following Auxesia
- Kassandra: Your husband is tired. Allow me to satisfy your hunger.
- Auxesia: I've never been with a mercenary before. Very well, let's see what you're made of.
Kassandra entered the Lesche of the Knidians with Auxesia, where they spent the whole day and night. Kassandra came out of the house.
- Koragos: Did she... have fun?
- Kassandra: That should hold her for a few days at least.
- Koragos: Thank you, misthios. Here, take this as payment. You've more than earned it.
Outcome[]
Kassandra helped Auxesia recover ingredients needed for a elixir to satisfy her hunger for pleasure. Kassandra had chosen to help Koragos to satisfy his wife Auxesia, which will ease Koragos health status and make him smile. Later on Kassandra is rewarded by Koragos with the Nymph's Blade and Drachmae.
