Sunken Hope was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
Eivor heard two girls shouting for help finding their father who went missing whilst diving for treasure.
Dialogue[]
Eivor overheard two girls talking at the ruins of Olikana Tower.
- Rilda: I'm scared for Father. Can you see him down there?
- Runa: No, I can't see anything! The lake's dark, and I'm cold.
- Rilda: What can we do? Father is alone down there...
The girls noticed Eivor.
- Rilda: Hey, you! Can you swim? Our father's down there, looking for treasure.
- Runa: He dove way down deep, but I can't see him anymore.
Eivor dove deep into the water.
- Rilda: Do not worry, Runa. The warrior will find father.
- Runa: What if you're wrong? He's been down there for hours.
Eivor discovering the father's body
Eivor found a man dead near a bag.
- Eivor: Here's their father, and the treasure that lured him to his doom.
Eivor looted the bag and retrieved a silver bracelet, while Runa climbed out of the water to rejoin her sister. Eivor resurfaced and returned to the young girls above her.
- Eivor: That lake goes deep.
- Runa: Did you at least find the treasure?
- Eivor: Yes. Take this bracelet your father sought. By rights, it's yours.
- Runa: Thank you, brave traveler. We knew you would find it.
- Rilda: And what about Father, did you find him?
- Eivor: This lake must serve as your father's grave now, but with this last gift, his memory survives.
- Rilda: You mean... he drowned?
- Eivor: I saw no one. It might be that he went to find food.
Runa and Rilda grieving the death of their father
- Eivor: Where's the rest of your family?
- Rilda: Mother got sick and never got better, and now she's under the ground. There's no one else.
- Runa: Rilda, remember. Father's sister in Jorvik.
- Eivor: Sell that trinket for food, then travel to your aunt. Your father would wish that.
Eivor took her leave of the girls and thought to herself.
- Eivor: This world is hard, and the gods care not.
Before leaving the area, she found a note in a house near the tower, written by the deceased father.
Crumpled Note
- It has been a week since, and I am still unable to find the silver bracelet. Anna would have had my head if she were still with us, and I would have been the one submerged under the ruins. How careless I was!
Today I shall swim deeper than before and hopefully retrieve the bracelet before dawn. Sell it off and buy some warm clothing to surprise my two angels before they wake.
Outcome[]
Eivor investigated and found the corpse of their father underwater. She decided on whether to tell the truth to the young sisters.
