Archery Practice 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 up with Roxana to continue their training for the Battle of One Hundred Hands.
Dialogue[]
After sparring with Roxana, Kassandra accompanied her to the shipwreck on the coast of Hydrea, which had been occupied by a pack of wolves.
(Went to shipwreck immediately)
- Roxana: We're a safe distance here. Now shoot these cursed wolves before they start taking down the local children. I'll see if there isn't a thing or two I can learn from you.
(Went to shipwreck later)
- Roxana: You came! Good. We can get on with the training.
- Kassandra: You said we'd be doing archery... but I don't see any targets.
- Roxana: A ship wrecked here not long ago. It carried a pack of wolves to Melos as an added challenge to the Battle of One Hundred Hands.
- Kassandra: And now they're running loose here on Hydrea?
- Roxana: Not for long.
Show me what you can do with that bow and put them down. Maybe I can learn a thing or two.
Regardless, Kassandra commented on Roxana's choice for training.
- Kassandra: It's nice to be out here, just the two of us.
- Roxana: Is that right?
- Kassandra: There were a lot of onlookers when we sparred.
- Roxana: You'll be happy to know the rest of our training will be more... private.
Kassandra began taking aim at the animals.
- Roxana: Look at you, all statuesque as you draw your bow.
Kassandra slayed one of the wolves.
- Kassandra: How'd you like that one?
- Roxana: Beautiful shot.
Another one of the wolves fell.
- Roxana: The way your muscles ripple when you draw the string—
- Kassandra: Do they ripple?
- Roxana: Do they ripple.
They're works of art!
- (If players entered melee)
- Roxana: What are you doing? This is supposed to be archery training!
- Kassandra: Do you want the wolves killed, or not?
- Roxana: Yes. Kill them.
With the wolves dead, Roxana commented on the results of their training.
- Kassandra: It's done. All the wolves are dead.
- Roxana: You elevate archery to an art form. Even Sophokles couldn't captivate me like that.
- Kassandra: How much more "training" will we do before I can enter the Battle?
- Roxana: What, you don't want to spend more time with me?
- Kassandra: This time with you has been-
I don't know what to say. - Roxana: Say no more. In a strange way, I see my own reflection in you.
- Kassandra: Yes. We've only just met and yet, we have a... connection.
- Roxana: You're a unique creature, Kassandra.
There's one more step to our training.
Outcome[]
Kassandra and Roxana finished the next step in their training regimen for the Battle of One Hundred Hands.
