Followers of Truth was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5 and a memory of Layla herself.

Description

Herodotos and Kassandra decided to investigate the Followers of Ares threat.

Dialogue

Kassandra traveled to Akousmatikoi Cave, where Herodotos was waiting.

• Herodotos: I'll follow you in after you've finished...
• Kassandra: Killing everyone inside.
• Herodotos: Yes. That.

After entering the cave, and killing 4 of the Followers, Herodotos enters.

• Herodotos: So this is where they've been hiding.
• Kassandra: You were right to suggest we look here. But they've been dealt with.
• Herodotos: We still need to find out what they were doing here in the first place. Let's look around.

Exploring around, she noticed a shield and some armor on the ground.

• Kassandra: Athenian and Spartan uniforms...
• Herodotos: They could have the people of Samos believe they were attacking from either side.

A piece of paper caught her eye.

• Kassandra: I didn't take the Followers of Ares to be lovers of poetry.
• Herodotos: They're not. This work... it's awfully close to the style Theodoros uses. Why would his writings be here?

She found a bracelet on the ground.

• Kassandra: I didn't take them for the heirloom type.
• Herodotos: How did they... That's our family's sigil.
• Kassandra: They must have stolen it.
• Herodotos: There's no way they could have found that on their own. It was given to them.

She went over to a parchment on a nearby table, also filed with severed body parts.

• Kassandra: There's a list of names here.
• Herodotos: I recognize these names. They're all quite influential on Samos. But... Mestor's is missing.

She went over to a bag of coins.

• Kassandra: These coins aren't like any I've seen before.
• Herodotos: I have. They're Persian...

Having explored enough, she went over to Herodotos.

• Herodotos: I'm afraid to even say what I think is going on here.

Samos is in danger.I want to hear your theory.

• Kassandra: I'll say it. Persia want to take Samos.
• Herodotos: I think you're right. It's close enough to places like Athens and Sparta, but small enough to not draw their attention.
• Kassandra: Makes sense.
• Herodotos: Unfortunately, that's not the worst part.

• Kassandra: This island and these people are yours. Tell me what you're thinking.
• Herodotos: Persia wants to take control of Samos. It'd be a good staging ground for something greater.
• Kassandra: You're right.
• Herodotos: I only wish that was all there is to worry about.

• Kassandra: What is it?
• Herodotos: If Persia is involved, they couldn't have done this alone. They would have needed someone here to help them.
• Kassandra: Someone with ties to the empire.
• Herodotos: And influence on Samos, yes. Other than myself, there are only two others who could be responsible. For what's going to happen... and for what already has.
• Kassandra: Herodotos...
• Herodotos: With everything we've found... everything you've seen and heard. Please, just tell me which of them it is.

It's Theodoros.It's Mestor.

• Kassandra: It's Theodoros. He's working for the Persians and brought the Followers of Ares here.

• Kassandra: It's Mestor. He brought the Followers of Ares here to help Persia.

• Herodotos: I was afraid you'd say that, but I know you must be right.
• Kassandra: What do you want to do now?
• Herodotos: I need to talk to Theodoros.

Outcome

Kassandra and Herodotos traveled to Akousmatikoi Cave and discovered that Persia wanted to take hold of Samos.

Trivia

• Kassandra can accuse either brother, Theodoros and Mestor, but Mestor is the culprit.
