Rival Lovers was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
Kassandra approached a citizen smitten with the hetaera Anthousa.
Dialogue[]
- Kassandra: Chaire, statesman. I don't suppose you could use a mercenary's help today?
- Man: You! You're the mercenary my lovely Anthousa spoke of. I've heard you have some sway with her.
- Kassandra: "Your" Anthousa? I didn't know she was tied down.
- Man: She and I have a unique connection. If she would only see it. There is someone else who's caught her eye.
- Kassandra: Only one person?
- Man: A penniless writer who whispers empty words in Anthousa's ear. I've heard she doesn't even bestow gifts upon my love. She's clearly using her.
- Kassandra: So where do I come into this?
- Man: Maybe if someone with Anthousa's approval found a reason to dispose of this writer, Anthousa would see clearly.
- Kassandra: You want me to give her a taste of my blade.
- Man: Her death is the only solution.
(Accept - I'll handle it.)
- Kassandra: All right. I'm in.
- Man: Thank you. Please be discreet.
- Kassandra: Leave it to me.
Rival Lovers
Kassandra sought out the poet and dealt with her before returning to the politician.
- Man: You. Have you killed her?
- Kassandra: She's no longer your concern.
- Man: You do fine work, mercenary. Take this as thanks.
- Kassandra: I always finish what I've started.
Outcome[]
Kassandra dealt with the politician's rival.
