Sins of the Past was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
After helping Lykaon to find and deliver the medicine, Kassandra agreed to accompany him to deliver the last of the herbs to his grandmother Praxithea.
Dialogue[]
Kassandra and Lykaon made their way to the latter's grandmother's home.
- Lykaon: Thanks for coming with me. Would you say you've killed many people?
- Kassandra: Why do you ask me that?
- Lykaon: If someone is impious to the point of doing grave injustice to people as well as the gods, do they not deserve punishment?
- Kassandra: What did Praxithea do?
- Lykaon: She spoke false prophecies for years. Those who came to her for advice received only lies.
- Kassandra: Your grandmother... was an oracle?
- Lykaon: Yes, up on the hill in Delphi! She confessed to me recently that she never heard the gods, and only repeated the words she was told.
- Kassandra: Told by vile people with evil intentions.
- Lykaon: Exactly. Wars have been fought over those words. She can't be left unpunished, I...
- Kassandra: My family was torn apart by a false prophecy. If it was one of hers, I may take matters into my own hands.
They reached a small residence, where a woman was at.
- Agave: Get out of here, Lykaon. I know what you want to do. You'll just bring more shame on our family.
- Lykaon: I don't want to do this, Agave. But for the sake of justice, we can't let Praxithea live.
- Agave: It's out of your hands anyway. Some strange men were searching the village today, looking for her. I brought them there, and they dragged her away.
- Kassandra: What kind of justice is that?
- Agave: You wouldn't understand, she was an impious old fool. Now we have nothing more to worry about. Who are you, anyway?
- Kassandra: I'm Kassandra. I've also been wronged by a false prophecy. It might have been your grandmother's.
- Lykaon: If we don't find her, we can't settle any of this. Please help me figure out where she's been taken.
- Kassandra: I'll look for clues.
Lykan continued to debate with Agave.
- Agave: What did you expect me to do? All that talk about killing... A solution showed up, so I took it.
- Lykaon: That wasn't the way it was supposed to happen. She's my responsibility, not yours.
Kassandra went into the courtyard, finding a bracelet on the floor.
- Kassandra: Praxithea must have lost this bracelet in the struggle. But no ordinary thief would have left something so valuable behind.
Kassandra left the house and and headed to a small brazier left of the house. She found a burned note.
- Kassandra: This looks like a contract: "Deliver the package to the drop-off, and don't damage it." If they mean Lykaon's grandmother, chances are she's alive.
She spoke to a civilian nearby.
- Kassandra: Have you seen anything strange going on around here?
- Farmer: Well, if bandits taking over my cousin's farm is strange, yes.
- Kassandra: What did they do?
- Farmer: Gave her a running start. She can't go back there. They've set up camp, and they're armed and dangerous!
- Kassandra: Interesting. Where is that farm?
- Farmer: It's not far west of here. But I wouldn't mess with those bandits.
- Kassandra: Thanks for the advice.
Kassandra returned to Lykaon.
- Kassandra: Praxithea was kidnapped and brought to a farm west of here. The bandits were hired to deliver her alive.
- Lykaon: Thank you for figuring that out, Kassandra.
- Kassandra: I'm no fool, Lykaon. Your sister put Praxithea in great danger, and you've been asking me about killing. Do you want me to end her life?
- Lykaon: No, it has to be me. I need to kill her.
- Kassandra: She's your grandmother, and you're no killer. You should give this more thought.
