The Keeper and Kyros was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Dialogue
Kassandra met with Hermes at the hemicycle looking out towards the Human Encampment.
- Kassandra: You look concerned.
- Hermes: I'm worried about Persephone.
- Kassandra: Persephone can look after herself.
- Hermes: She's incredible, I agree, but these are strange times. I've heard that some ungrateful delinquents plot against her.
- Kassandra: I haven't been here long, but I've already heard people want her overthrown.
- Hermes: You have? What do these humans expect from her? I'd heard some of the more ungrateful delinquents are planning to rise up. Imagine!
- Kassandra: These "ungrateful delinquents"... could they be right?
- Hermes: Pah! You give them too much credit. Still, Persephone needs protection.
- Kassandra: Don't look at me.
- Hermes: There's a friend of mine and your father's, Kyros of Zarax. He's a strong and honorable warrior. He's been abducted, but if we could free him...
- Kassandra: You're suggesting we make a human Persephone's bodyguard?
- Hermes: With Kyros at the ready, the humans will think twice before attacking one of their own.
(Asked "Why are you devoted to Persephone?")
- Kassandra: If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were in love with Persephone.
- Hermes: No one understands here the way I do. Adonis sees a cruel despot. To her husband, she's a trinket on his arm.
- Kassandra: And what do you see?
- Hermes: Me? Oh! I don't know—I've never had anyone ask me before. She's... everything.
(Asked "How did you meet Kyros?")
- Kassandra: How do you know this Kyros?
- Hermes: He was an aid, of sorts, to your father. Every great painter needs a hand to crush their pigment. That was Kyros. A warrior.
(Leave – "I'll save Kyros.")
- Kassandra: Say no more. I'll find Kyros for you.
- Hermes: I knew I could trust you. While you're gone, I'll arrange a meeting with Persephone. Bring Kyros to the heart of Elysium. We'll be there.
Kassandra infiltrated the Human Encampment and released Kyros from his confinement. He recognized her staff at once.
- Kyros: You have the Staff?
- Kassandra: Kyros of Zarax, Hermes sent me.
- Kyros: That key maker is predictable. I'll give him that much.
Kassandra escorted Kyros out of the camp.
- Kyros: So, how'd you get that Staff?
- Kassandra: Pythagoras was my father. Things happened. Now it's mine.
- Kyros: That right? That makes us family. I knew the man well.
- Kassandra: I heard. This way. Persephone's waiting.
- Kyros: Persephone herself? This is going to be easier than I thought.
- Kassandra: Wait... What's going to be easier?
Kassandra brought him to a crossroads, but stopped to inquire further.
- Kassandra: All right, Kyros, let's make this quick. You said this is going to be easier than you thought.
- Kyros: Since we're basically family, I'm trusting your honor. I work for Adonis.
- Kassandra: But you were caged by humans.
- Kyros: Yes, and Hermes "found out" about it, right around the time Persephone was coaxed into deciding she needs a bodyguard.
- Kassandra: You staged the whole thing and you're using Hermes to infiltrate Persephone's lair? You're no simple warrior.
- Kassandra: You talk about honor? You set up this lie and used me as a mule to infiltrate Persephone's lair. I expected to meet a warrior.
- Kyros: Before I met your father, I had four sons. Each a "warrior." When my third boy fell in battle, there was only guilt. I'd cried all my tears for the first two.
- Kassandra: Go on.
- Kyros: And with the fourth, I felt longing—sadness had become my only friend, and I had no one left to grieve. Warriors don't bring peace. They bring sorrow.
- Kassandra: So by getting behind Persephone's defenses, you think you can prevent war. You could convince her to surrender or distract her while Adonis escapes.
- Kyros: Anything but battle. But before we go to Persephone, I have to send confirmation this plan worked. Will you take me?
- Kassandra: Fine, but be quick. We need to go to Persephone and Hermes. They're waiting.
- Kassandra: You really think you can save lives?
- Kyros: I'm not sure how death works in Elysium, but suffering is eternal, and that is something I can stop.
- Kassandra: They're coming for you!
- Kassandra: That's all of them. Let's keep moving.
- Kyros: Once Adonis hears my plan worked, maybe he'll stand down.
- Kassandra: Hurry, Kyros. We need to get back to Hermes, or Persephone might suspect something.
- Kyros: I hear Persephone likes to test her new recruits, and I've got a bit of a temper. If you see me turning red...
- Kassandra: I'll think of something.
- Hermes: Where've you been? No one keeps Persephone waiting.
- Kassandra: It got complicated. We took a less direct route.
- Hermes: What matters, Hermes, is I'm freed thanks to you. When I go to my queen, I will make sure she's grateful to you for my service.
- Kassandra: Kyros delayed us. Ask him.
- Kyros: I... I'd been locked up for ages. You know how our queen feels about filth. I didn't want her judging us, judging you, for being unpresentable.
- Hermes: Explain it to Persephone. She's waiting.
- Kyros: I'll make sure she knows this was entirely my fault, not yours.
Kyros took his leave.
Hermes shrugged.
- Hermes: I'm sorry I was ungrateful. Kyros will make a strong guard. Thank you again, friend.
- Kassandra: Chaire, Hermes.
- Kassandra: It didn't go as you planned, but relax. Persephone's safe.
- Hermes: I am grateful for the effort, my friend, but she's not. The delinquents are getting bolder. While you were gone, I was robbed.
- Kassandra: We've already wasted too much time talking, Kyros. We have to go.
- Kyros: You're as stubborn as your father. Still, you mustn't say anything to Persephone. If she knew what we were doing, she'd have my head.
- Kyros: I hear Persephone likes to test her new recruits, and I've got a bit of a temper. If you see me turning red...
- Kassandra: I'll think of something.
- Hermes: You've come back, and just in time!
- Persephone: Kyros of Zarax. Tell me—are you the obedient dog Hermes claims you are? I do love dogs.
- Persephone: Does he not speak?
- Kassandra: He speaks. Kyros, take a deep breath and speak.
- Kyros: Apologies, my queen. To hear of your beauty is one thing, but to see it up close is another.
- Persephone: Beautiful, am I?
- Hermes: Pah! Among other things.
- Kyros: Chaire, Child of Pythagoras. If he were here, he'd be proud of what you've become.
- Hermes: My queen.
- Hermes: She... touched me!
- Hermes: Kyros is right, my friend. I knew your father well. If he were here, he'd be proud. Chaire.
- Hermes: She... touched me. Focus, Hermes.
- Hermes: There's been a development. It's these delinquents. They've robbed me!
Outcome
Kassandra freed Kyros of Zarax who had staged his own kidnapping. After dropping off a package, Kyros was brought to Persephone so he could become her bodyguard, infiltrating her court in the process.
