Red in the Wreckage was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2018 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
On Keos, Kassandra was told by two civilians about a shipment of miltos which had gone missing.
Dialogue[]
While in Keos, Kassandra overheard two men talking near the port.
- Civilian 1: Can you fucking believe it?
- Civilian 2: Thought she'd know better by now.
- Civilian 1: Well, you know why. Shame though, all that cargo out there on the ocean...
- Civilian 2: More like under, knowing Gotarzes!
The two men laughed. Intrigued, Kassandra approached the men.
- Civilian 1: I mean how hard is it to take a merchant ship and get to Thera and back?!
- Civilian 2: Still, Xenia could've used that miltos. The drachmae would have been helpful in her fight against...
The men noticed Kassandra and shut up.
- Civilian 1: Something we can help you with?
- Kassandra: Yeah, you were talking about a shipment.
- Civilian 2: We weren't saying nothing... Nothing that concerns you, anyway.
- Kassandra: You were, and I want to know more.
- Civilian 1: Yeah, don't really care what you want.
- Kassandra: You'd better tell me about that miltos shipment.
- Civilian 1: Don't have to tell you shit.
- Civilian 2: Don't even try it. We're under Xenia's protection here, like everyone else.
- Civilian 1: Go on, get out of here.
Kassandra left, only to change her mind and return later to try talking to them again.
- Civilian 2: Told you, nothing more to say.
- Civilian 1: You want that shipment? Lot of water between here and Thera, better get to it.
Kassandra returned to the Adrestia.
- Kassandra: If it's worth money, I'll find it. They said the ship was on its way to Thera.
The two men laughed.
- Kassandra: I'd like to find this ship.
- Civilian 2: Well, I'll help you if you can. Then you can bring us a story.
(If "What was the cargo?" is chosen.)
- Kassandra: What's miltos, anyway?
- Civilian 1: Miltos, the next best thing to gold.
- Civilian 2: Fucking Athenians want it all for themselves, self-important malákas.
(If "Where's the shipment?" is chosen.)
- Kassandra: Do you know where I can find the ship?
- Civilian 1: Could be anywhere, knowing Gotarzes!
- Civilian 2: I heard the plan was to intercept the shipment near Lestris island, due south of Keos.
(If "Who's Gotarzes?" is chosen.)
- Kassandra: Who's this captain you keep mentioning?
- Civilian 1: Gotarzes, be thankful you don't know.
- Civilian 2: The Parthenon's got more chance of staying afloat than him!
(Leave – "I know what do.")
- Kassandra: Thank you.
- Civilian 1: If you find that miltos, be sure to come back and share the wealth!
- Kassandra: Of course, my friends!
Kassandra turned and walked away from the laughing men.
- Kassandra: Malákes.
Kassandra returned to the Adrestia and set sail for Lestris.
- Kassandra: If I can find this shipment of miltos... It's easy money.
On arriving at Lestris, she found the shipwreck in the nearby Wailing Cavern.
- Kassandra: There's a shipwreck, and there's the miltos.
- Kassandra: Sounds like a tale for another day. I'll be seeing you.
- Civilian 2: Not if we see you first!
- Civilian 1: Ha, good one!
Kassandra tiredly pinched her nose at their simple humor. She left, only to change her mind and return later.
- Civilian 2: You again. Thought you'd be sick of ports, or are you looking for work?
- Kassandra: Just wanted to ask about that shipment.
- Civilian 2: Oh yeah?
- Kassandra: I'm always open to a good tale, especially if it ends in misfortune.
- Civilian 1: Ha, the ones with Gotarzes always do. He's the worst captain on Keos!
- Kassandra: I'd like to find this ship.
- Civilian 2: Well, I'll help you if you can. Then you can bring us a story.

Outcome[]
Kassandra found and recovered the shipment of miltos.
Behind the scenes[]
Scanning the pair with Ikaros reveals the labels of the bigger civilian as "Brute" and his partner as "Wharf Rat".
The Brute incorrectly uses the singular malákas when referring to a group of Athenians instead the plural conjugation of malákes.
