An Efficient Cremation was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
Eivor encountered a man trying to burn the bodies of his wife and child, asking for help.
Dialogue[]
Eivor noticed a man near a burning cart.
- Norse Man: This is taking too long. I need more fire, more oil! They must burn, they must burn... Please! My family, they've died injustly. They need to be burned! But this fire won't do. I must burn them before they turn into vengeful draugrs. There must be something around here that burns...
Eivor entered the man's house looking for something to burn. She found a note.
- Old Man's Will:
My inheritance will go to my second son, not my firstborn. My first born[sic] is a lout and a gambler, and he will only squander the family wealth I have worked so hard to achieve.
Finding nothing else of importance, she looked behind the house, finding an oil jar.
- Eivor: Oil jars for the fire. This should be enough.
She carried to the front of the house and threw it on the flames.
- Norse Man: Thank you! Thank you. Now may they rest in peace...
Eivor approached the man.
- Eivor: Will they truly rest? You said the draugrs, your family no less, would return vengeful.
- Norse Man: It's my fault. I killed them. My greed robbed me of my senses and now my family. My brother was to inherit my father's wealth. But it was my right! They callled me a lout, a disgrace. They were right. Now our family fortune sits in the house. Worthless when there is nobody left to enjoy it with. A favor, I beg of you. Slay me so I may join them in Helheim and beg their forgiveness.
Eivor granted him his death.
- Eivor: Men like you deserve something worse than death. I hope your family condemns you, even in Helheim.
Outcome[]
Eivor threw a jar of oil on the fire. Afterwards she assassinated the man, as he requested.
