Delivering a Champion was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Escorting the Spartan Pankration champion to the Olympic Games of 428 BCE, and ensuring that Sparta won, was easier said than done.

Dialogue

• Alkon: You're new. If it's training you want, we don't just take anyone.

You couldn't teach me anythingSounds exclusive

• Kassandra: Do I look like I need training? I was sent by King Pausanias to collect the pankration champion.
• Alkon: My apologies, I didn't realize you were here for Testikles.

You should be more carefulMisunderstandings happen

• Kassandra: Next time think before opening you mouth.
• Alkon: Typical Spartan... Don't understand that honey can get you more than vinegar.

• Kassandra: Don't worry about it. I don't exactly look the part.

• Kassandra: I'd appreciate training with a master such as yourself, but that's not why I'm here.
• Alkon: Oh?
• Kassandra: King Pausanias asked me to bring the pankration champion to Elis.
• Alkon: Forgive me. I didn't know a royal messenger was coming. I'm Alkon, Testikles's trainer.
• Kassandra: Kassandra of Sparta.

• Alkon: If I may offer some advice before you get him, Testikles can be... difficult. A gift of oil is known to put a person on his good side.
• Kassandra: Oil?
• Alkon: A muscle rub. He believes it imbues him with the power of Herakles. Look in the Village of Gytheion. His favorite merchant is there.

(If players choose "What's Testikles like?")

• Kassandra: Winning the wreath is important for Sparta. You think he can do it?
• Alkon: The other day he knocked out six men and a bull... and he only went to the market to buy fruit. That's why I had to send him to the island.

(If players choose "Where can I find Testikles?")

• Kassandra: Where can I find your champion?
• Alkon: I sent Testikles to train on a small island in the Bay of Hades. It's good for him there - isolated. Away from people. Look for the Shipwreck of Nestor on the southern shore.

(If players choose "What is pankration?")

• Kassandra: Can you tell me anything about pankration?
• Alkon: It's a mix of boxing and wrestling, a fearsome test of skill. Champions come from the farthest corners of the world to compete in Olympia. But not all walk away.
• Kassandra: I can't wait to see it.

(If players choose "I'm leaving")

• Kassandra: I need to get this champion of yours to Elis. I hope he lives up to your promise.
• Alkon: Oh he will. Look for his camp on the southernmost island in Messenia. Good luck!

Kassandra then left.

• Kassandra: I should get that oil. Anything that'll make it easier to get Testikles to the Olympics.

Arriving at the Village of Gytheion, Kassandra went to talk to the oil maker.

• Slave: Sorry. Closed.
• Kassandra: I need oil, then I'll be on my way. There's a special one that Testikles uses?
• Slave: Ah, for pankration fighters. That one has to be made fresh by the master, and he's gone.
• Kassandra: I'm not leaving without it.
• Slave: You don't understand. I'm nearly free...
• Kassandra: You're a slave?
• Slave: Yes, and in a good postition. Doing this would be stealing from him.

I'm not asking, tell me.Can't we work something out?I can pay you.I won't put you in that position.

• Kassandra: Tell me, or I'll make you.
• Slave: Why would a misthios care about a slave? I'll tell you, but not help you. Light a fire, and gently heat oil of Athena to aid the infusion. When it's warm, just add a touch of cinnamon.

Let's make some oil.This is too much trouble.

• Kassandra: Thank you.
• Slave: I hope it's worth my freedom.

• Kassandra: I know I'm asking for a lot, but I need this oil now. I could come back and talk to your master - maybe explain the situation?
• Slave: What choice do I have? It's not bad, this life, if I have to stay... I'll give you the recipe, but that's as far as I go. You make it yourself.
• Kassandra: I can do that.
• Slave: Light a fire, and gently heat oil of Athena to aid the infusion. When it's warm, just add a touch of cinnamon.

Let's make some oil.This is too much trouble.

• Kassandra: Thank you.
• Slave: I hope it's worth my freedom.

• Kassandra: If it's a question of drachmae, I can pay you for the oil.
• Slave: It's a question of trust. I know my master. He's kind, but strict. My freedom depends on it.

• Kassandra: Don't worry. I get you into trouble.

• Kassandra: Time to get Testikles.

Kassandra sailed to the island in the Bay of Hades to retrieve Testikles.

• Testikles: Just another drink... For fortification, improves the stamina.
  Testikles!
  Another sip, then training. Good for the constitution.
  Yeah, Testikles the champion!

Noticing Kassandra, Testikles turned around to talk to her.

• Testikles: Whadda you want from the great champion Testikles? Can't you see I'm... busy?
• Kassandra: I'm here to take you to the Olympics.
• Testikles: Olympics? Fuck yeah! I'm gonna be the champion...

Testikles vomited.

• Testikles: Champion! 'Cause I'm Testikles!
• Kassandra: Good. Let's set sail.
• Testikles: Oh no, can't possible go now.

He focused on the amphora of wine next to him.

• Testikles: Training, see? And I don't know if I'm up to goin' sailin' on your boaty.

Get on my shipWe sail to victory!I've got your oil.

• Kassandra: There's nothing to be nervous about. We'll be there cheering you on.
• Testikles: But... what if I don't win?
• Kassandra: They'll build statues and write poems about you... But first, we need to get you there.

(This option will not be available if the player did not make the oil)

• Kassandra: I have something for you. A certain oil...
• Testikles: My oil? Oh, I could kiss you!
• Kassandra: No. You couldn't.

Here's your oil.You'll get your oil in Elis.If the player did not follow the recipe for the oil.

• Kassandra: I've got your oil... You'll get it when we arrive.
• Testikles: That's no fair.
• Kassandra: You don't want to use your special oil before the big fight, do you?
• Testikles: Good point. Very good point.
• Kassandra: Let's get you to the Olympics, then.

• Kassandra: Here's your oil.
• Testikles: Ah... Wait. What is this stinking piss?

Due to the foul stench of the oil, Testikles once again vomited.

• Kassandra: Are you all right?
• Testikles: Yeah... Actually feel much better. Cleared my head right up. Time for a little drink to celebrate!
• Kassandra: Sail first, drink later.

• Testikles: To the Olympics! The people needs me!

He ran off, lightly bumping Kassandra out of the way.

• Testikles: Well? We going?
• Kassandra: He'd better fucking win.
