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

Description

Alkibiades asked Kassandra to deliver a small package to a man named Bardas at the Korinthian Military Fort. Apparently, it was originally from a man named Diodoros.

Dialogue

Kassandra took in the view from the Temple of Aphrodite atop the Akrokorinth and encountered Alkibiades.

• Kassandra: Nice view.
• Alkibiades: It just got a lot nicer. I was hoping to see you again.
• Kassandra: Alkibiades. What are you doing outside of Athens?
• Alkibiades: Someone like me is always on the move. I've docked my ship in every "port"!
• Kassandra: I'm sure you have.
• Alkibiades: If you're here for more than the view, I have a task for you. It is crucial this package gets to its proper recipient. It's not from me, but a man named Diodoros.

(Accept - "I'll deliver the package.")

• Kassandra: I'll help, but it's only that little box?
• Alkibiades: One should never judge something by its size, you know. A small thing may very well make a huge impact.

(If players asked "Why do you have this package?")

• Kassandra: You said this package isn't from you. Why do you have it, then?
• Alkibiades: It simply came into my hands, that's all. Diodoros asked for my help, like I'm asking for yours now.
• Kassandra: Why can't this Diodoros deliver it himself?
• Alkibiades: You're a curious one, aren't you? Some questions don't have answers. Sometimes things just... are.

(If players asked "What's your favorite 'port'?")

• Kassandra: You've traveled a lot - where's your favorite place to go?
• Alkibiades: Oh, a personal question... interesting.
• Alkibiades: The world is filled with beautiful places. To pick my favorite would be like picking my favorite hetaera. I could do it, but the answer changes based on my mood.

(Leave - "I should get going.")

• Kassandra: All right. Who am I giving the package to?
• Alkibiades: There's a man named Bardas near the Korinthian military fort. He's one of their stronger... assets.
• Kassandra: And I just tell him it's from you?
• Alkibiades: No, from Diodoros. Don't forget. Diodoros.

Kassandra infiltrated the Korinthian Military Fort and entered Bardas's office.

• Bardas: You aren't the misthios I sent for. What do you want?
• Kassandra: This is for you.
• Bardas: Give it here.

Kassandra handed over the package and Bardas unwrapped it.

• Bardas: Is this some kind of joke? This is a cast of someone's dick!
• Bardas: What's this engraving? "This is for your wife Thelia, for when she starts to miss me."
• Bardas: Tell me now! Who sent this?

It's from Diodoros.It's from Alkibiades.Lie It's from me.

• Kassandra: Do you know a man named Diodoros?
• Bardas: What? I'll destroy his men. I'll destroy his fleet! He'll regret ever touching Thelia!

Kassandra left Bardas enraged at a likely innocent man.

• Kassandra: A man named Alkibiades gave it to me.
• Bardas: Alkibiades? Just because Perikles took him in and he's friends with important people, he thinks he can do whatever he wants. I won't let him get away with this!

Kassandra left Bardas to his indignation.

• Kassandra: It's from me, Bardas, can't you tell?
• Bardas: Do you think this is a joke? You'll pay for that!

Bardas attacked Kassandra, leaving her no choice but to kill him.

• Kassandra: Someone doesn't have a sense of humor.

Her mission complete, Kassandra returned to Alkibiades to tell him the outcome.

Outcome

Alkibiades returned to Athens to hatch more political schemes. In each of these, she would have a knack for showing up at the exact moment he required her skills.
