Wine for the Swine was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2018 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[]
Following Barnabas' lotus flower inspired vision, the Adrestia set sail towards Paros Island.
Dialogue[]
As they neared Paros, Barnabas grew excited.
Kassandra left the ship, and went to explore Atoll Point. On a hill, she saw ruins fitting Barnabas' description, and headed towards them. Within she saw a number of apparently tame pigs, wild boars, and lions, as well as a woman drinking the blood of a slain pig.
- Kassandra: These pigs... look hungry.
She approached the woman. Noticing her, the woman rose and turned to greet her.
- Circe: Welcome to my empire, traveler. I am its empress, Circe of the Oceanids.
- Kassandra: You live here?
- Circe: Where are my manners? You must be weary after your long journey. There's some wine in my hold, if you'd fetch it for us. I'm a bit indisposed at the moment.
- Kassandra: I could use a drink. I'll fetch the wine.
Kassandra left Circe. Near the pillars, a flower drew her attention.
She continued to the ruins down the hill, studying them. On a broken pillar, she saw a toy doll, and inspected it.
- Kassandra: This toy has teeth marks.
On the ground near the toy and the wine was a clay tablet.
- Kassandra: This says her subjects are hungry. What subjects?
Nearby, the stones were stained with blood.
- Kassandra: Could this blood be human?
She found the wine, and grabbed it before heading back to Circe. She gave the wine to Circe, who smiled.
- Circe: You look deliciously thirsty.
- Kassandra: All right, "empress." Let's drink.
They toasted, and Kassandra drained her cup while Circe smiled, not drinking a drop. When Kassandra remained unaffected, Circe was dumbstruck.
- Circe: You didn't succumb.
(If "What are you doing here?" is chosen.)
- Kassandra: Why do you live out here on your own?
- Circe: A woman like me has no place in this world. Out there, they call me witch. Here, I am my own empress, with my subjects to protect me.
(If "Why is your wine poisoned?" is chosen.)
- Kassandra: Why try to poison me?
- Circe: My subjects need to be fed. You drink the cursed wine. They feed on your flesh. The curse passes on to them, and they remain in my control.
(If "Enough games." is chosen.)
- Kassandra: Enough. I'm looking for a woman named Leda. My friend believes she visited here.
- Circe: My boars devour all. But if she had, I would have kept a trophy. This bracelet is from the last woman who came to my empire.
Circe showed off the bracelet around her wrist.
- Kassandra: Give it to me.
Kassandra took the bracelet from the unresisting Circe.
- Circe: And what will you do to me and my subjects? Kill us?
- Kassandra: You're resourceful... I could use someone like you on my ship. Leave this solitude and join us.
- Circe: My pater had my mater flayed for being a witch. He'd have killed me, too, until I... Well. He won't be hurting anyone now. Tell me, would you set a tigress loose on your deck?
- Kassandra: I think you'll fit in just fine.
Circe turned away from her without a word, but the animals attacked Kassandra.
- Kassandra: Circe! I will rip you apart and feed you to your animals?
- Circe: How dare you challenge an empress?
Kassandra slew Circe. On her corpse, she found a particular bracelet, as well as a list of Circe's victims and trophies.
- Kassandra: The witch kept a list of names... and trophies. This bracelet was worn by a "Leda."

- Circe: That's it. Drink your last drink. Breathe your last breath. My subjects grow hungry.
Kassandra reeled as she spoke, feeling the effects of whatever was in the cup. Kassandra lost consciousness, only to wake up on cold stone floor in darkness.
- Kassandra: Maláka, my head. Where am I?
She stood up, holding her head. A wild boar approached her from the darkness. Kassandra slew it and made her way out of the tomb and back to Circe's ruins.

Kassandra read the note from Circe.
- Circe's List of Trophies:
From F., her bow. From E, a most delightful statue. From L, a commoner's bracelet. From M, a clay pot. P surrendered his sword. From X, nothing. A total waste. From K...
With the note and bracelet in hand, she returned to the Adrestia to inform Barnabas of what she had discovered.
- Barnabas: About my Leda, do you have any news?
(Chose "I got this bracelet from Circe.")
Kassandra dug out the bracelet, and showed it to Barnabas.
- Kassandra: I found this bracelet... and a lot of pigs.
- Barnabas: I can explain. Leda had it and was transformed into a pig by Circe. When she was turned back into a beautiful woman, she gave this to Circe to remember her by.
- Kassandra: Barnabas, this bracelet could be anyone's.
- Barnabas: No. I'm certain it's Leda's. It must be.
Barnabas took the bracelet.
Outcome[]
Kassandra found a woman who claimed to be Circe of the Oceanids, and ended up killing her, discovering on her a bracelet which might have belonged to Leda, Barnabas' lost wife.
Behind the scenes[]
Despite Kassandra claiming that Circe's list names the bracelet to have belonged to a "Leda", the list only lists the victims by, presumably, the first letter of their name.
