Bounty on Merchant Ships was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
Kassandra noticed a bounty for merchant boats on a message board:
- "The merchant ring has taken control of all the trade in the harbor. They're squeezing all other trade out of the city. Feed them to the sharks."
- "The merchant rings control the ports. Don't believe anyone who tells you otherwise. Sink the boats and don't trust anyone!"
- "The merchants are the ones who keep this war going, selling to both sides and getting fat. Sink their ships and let them sell to the fish."
- "The merchants smuggle in goods and take slaves, they fund pirates, and they play both sides of the war to make their drachmae. Sink them all."
- "These fat, stinking merchants think they control the harbor with their drachmae. Sink a few of their precious boats, and they'll remember their place."
- "What foul bargains have these merchants made to make them so bold in our waters? If Poseidon will not take them himself, you must send them to him."
Outcome[]
Kassandra accepted the contract, and sought out the merchant ships, sinking them and claiming the bounty.
