Shark the Vagrant 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 a vegetable merchant couple in the Cursed Valley of Pali.
Dialogue[]
- Civilian 1: Misthios! Fresh vegetables for your journey—the juciest in Kephallonia!
- Kassandra: I'm not really in the market for vegetables.
- Civilian 2: No one is. Our stock is practically decomposing.
- Civilian 1: We're trying to make enough drachmae to get out of Kephallonia. It's about time we moved on.
- Kassandra: I know what you mean.
The couple looked at each other.
- Civilian 1: Wait. Kreusa, you think she could help us?
- Civilian 2: I think she could.
- Kassandra: You'll have to tell me what it is, first.
- Civilian 1: Are you scared of sharks, misthios?
- Kassandra: I'm not scared of anything.
- Civilian 1: That makes one of us. A very hungry one swims in our way of leaving Kephallonia.
- Kassandra: I know what it's like to want to leave Kephallonia.
- Civilian 2: Who wouldn't? We have nothing here. As many vegetables as we please, but no hope.
Kassandra travelled south near the ruins of Kranioi and found the sunken temple. With Ikaros' help, she identified the necklace held in a chest in the temple ruins.
- Kassandra: The necklace is down there.
Kassandra killed the sharks and dive down to loot the chest. She resurfaced and returned to the vegetable merchants, handling the necklace to the wife.
The husband thanking Kassandra
- Civilian 2: You've found it! That's the necklace!
- Kassandra: That shark put up a good fight. He must've liked it.
The wife turned to her husband.
- Civilian 2: We can finally leave! No more vegetables.
- Civilian 1: We'll have a new life. One far from our past.
- Kassandra: I know what that's like. Good luck.
Outcome[]
Kassandra helped the merchants to recover Prokris' necklace. This fulfilled their wishes of leaving Kephallonia to lead a new life.
