Debt Collector was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2018 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Kassandra sought to collect Markos' debt to her from the merchant Duris. However, she had to save Phoibe first, who had been kidnapped by the Cyclops' thugs.
Kassandra rode down to Ktimene Beach where the kidnappers had taken Phoibe.
Kassandra killed an approaching bandit.
After killing the remaining bandits, Kassandra freed Phoibe.
At this statement, Kassandra drifted back in time to a memory involving Nikolaos and training.
Myrrine then knocked Kassandra down from behind with her staff.
Kassandra screamed right before attacking.
Nikolaos waved Kassandra off, so Kassandra approached Myrinne and her baby.
Nikolaos handed Alexios to Kassandra.
As Kassandra prepared to go into the house, Nikolaos called out to her.
Kassandra returned to the present.
Phoibe ran off.
Kassandra continued on, riding Phobos to Sami.
Kassandra arrived in Sami, finding Duris at his shop.
Kassandra approached Duris.
Kassandra assaulted Duris.
Kassandra made the trip to the Temple of Zeus, just in time to overhear a conversation between one of the Cyclops's thugs and Markos.
Kassandra walked up just as the thug departed.
Kassandra again was pulled back into a memory. In the memory, Kassandra recovered after being dropped from Mount Taygetos. She heard a voice calling out for her.
Kassandra pulled herself to her feet amidst piles of human bones and saw the head of a spear lying on the ground before her while search parties in the distance looked for her with lit torches. She took the spear, running through the forest with Ikaros flying overhead. Coming to a boat on the water's edge, she took it, pushing it out to see. A storm later destroyed the boat and she washed ashore to be discovered by Markos.
As the memory faded with the pair walking off together up the beach, Kassandra returned to the present.
They were interrupted by Drucilla, a local bowyer.
Kassandra looked in disbelief.
Kassandra and Drucilla were then left alone.
As they departed to Drucilla's shop, they struck up a conversation.
They arrived at Drucilla's shop.
Later on, Drucilla returned.
Kassandra tested out the bow and hit every target dummy. Afterward, she returned to Sami to check back on Duris.
Kassandra freed Phoibe, learning that a mercenary named Talos had been sent after her. After confronting Duris, she learned Markos borrowed drachmae from the Cyclops to purchase the vineyard.
