Bounty on Bandits was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
The Spartan misthios Kassandra found a note on the message board promising a bounty for dealing with a number of bandits nearby:
- "Athena's holy statue has been defaced by brutish bandits. They must face death for such impiety. Bring them to their end, and you will be rewarded."
- "Bandits have been raiding our workshop for our fine pots and pottery. We can't fight them, and the soldiers do nothing!"
- "My brave brother survived battle only to be killed by bandits robbing him on the road. His death must be their last!"
- "The bandits attacked our priestess on the road. Robbed and mocked a servant of the gods! Show them the gods' wrath."
- "The bandits in these hills are murderous cannibals. I didn't want to hire a bounty, but they are just so horrific. We need to be safe from them."
- "The city has been devastated by the war, we don't have the resources left to fight off raiders. This bounty is all we have left. Please help."
- "The city is thick with thieves. What little we have is in constant danger. Gut them and make the city safe again."
- "The streets aren't safe after dark. It seems more bandits crawl out of their holes each day. I want my city back!"
- "The thieves have been targeting our worshippers for the offerings they bring to the temple. These horrendous crimes must not be allowed to continue!"
- "These raiders swarm into my estates like insects and steal everything they can get their hands on. Exterminate these pests."
- "Thieves are robbing our camp every time we go on patrol, but we can't spare any men to leave behind. How can we fight a war when we can't keep our camp safe?"
- "We can't survive much longer if these bandits keep hitting us. We have almost nothing left."
- "We are only a poor village and most of our men have gone to war - we cannot fight off these raiders who attack us. Please accept our modest bounty and help us."
Outcome[]
Kassandra sought out the bandits and slew them, claiming the bounty promised.
