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

Description

Kassandra met a young woman who sought her help to stand out and gain favour with a wealthy man.

Dialogue

Kassandra travelled to the Psaros Pyrgos, where she spot a large crowd.

• Civilian 1: Please, Eros! Let it be me. Let him pick me!
• Civilian 2: I got here first, back off! The scion will pick me!

Kassandra went forward and took a look.

• Aetios: I'll see you all at the selection ceremony, ladies! I especially hope - You show up.

The man went inside the cave.

• Kassandra: Let me guess, he's rich.

A woman approached Kassandra.

• Kallikleia: That's Aetios! The scion of the most influential family in Keos. And his wife-choosing ceremony is tomorrow! We need Eros' blessing to be picked.
• Kassandra: You hope to marry into riches.
• Kallikleia: No! My feelings are for Aetios, not his wealth.

But his wealth doesn't hurt.I believe you.

• Kassandra: Even if your feelings for him are real. They get stronger with drachmae.
• Kallikleia: No! I really am in love with him!

• Kassandra: Your eyes tell of your true feelings.
• Kallikleia: I-I feel like you're making fun of me.

• Kassandra: You better start praying like the rest of them.
• Kallikleia: No, I have to stand out. If I do what everyone else is doing, I'll never be picked by Eros or Aetios. I need to do something, anything!
• Hekate Witch: Anything?

A woman joined their conversation.

• Kallikleia: Yes, anything!

The woman laughed.

• Hekate Witch: Eros? Please, his ears stuffed full with the prattling of these women. Let me help, I'm a witch of Hekate, goddess of witchcraft and magic. I know just the thing. A love potion.

Love potions are ridiculous.That could work.

• Kassandra: Ridiculous. Love potions are a myth -

• Kassandra: i've seen stranger things work.

• Kallikleia: I'll buy it from you, please! Sell it to me, and don't let the others hear you.
• Hekate Witch: I don't need your drachmae, I spread the word of Hekate freely. But - A love potion is tailored to the imbiber. I have to make one. Just. For. You. And once you've drained every last drop of it down your pretty throat, you will exude pure, irresistible beauty. Aetios will fall in love with you instantly! First, we need two things. A cask of the finest wine, and some wild mushrooms.
• Kallikleia: Where can I find that at such short notice?
• Hekate Witch: I'm sure the misthios could prcoure these items for you.
• Kallikleia: Please, misthios! Please, you've got to help me. In the name of love. And alot of drachmae! Well, I'll give you all I've got. If Aetios picks me, I'll be sure to give you even more!
• Kassandra: Fine. I'll get the ingredients for your love potion.

(If players choose "How will I find the "finest wine"?")

• Kassandra: "The finest wine" isn't much to go on. How will I get it?
• Hekate Witch: A shipment of expensive wine was lost in a shipwreck recently. Look around the wreckage in Pirate Bay, and you'll find a cask or two, if it hasn't already been pillaged by pirates. It's beached on the west coast of the island.

(If players choose "Where are these wild mushrooms, exactly?")

• Kassandra: Where will I find wild mushrooms?
• Hekate Witch: No, no! A new shipment of very special mushrooms has arrived at the Customs Warehouse. Fetch me some of those.

(If players choose "That's enough.")

• Kassandra: That's all. I'll see to the items.
• Hekate Witch: Excellent. Meet us at the temple on the hilltop when you're done.

Kassandra travelled the Chora, where the wherehouse was located. With Ikaros' help, she found the warehouse.

• Kassandra: That's the warehouse. The wild mushrooms will be in there somewhere.

She made her way to the warehouse.

• Kassandra: The Customs Warehouse. Better get looking for those mushrooms.

She overheard a conversation between the guards.

• Greek Soldier 1: Have you heard of that pirate woman, Xenia?
• Greek Soldier 2: Malaka. She's bad news.
• Greek Soldier 1: I know, that's why I'm bringing it up! What if she, I don't know, has plans for these mushrroms that just came in?
• Greek Soldier 2: What does a pirate need with mushrooms?!
• Greek Soldier 1: I heard they can be made into weapons! Or a poison, I can't remember.
• Greek Soldier 2: Just shut up.

Kassandra sneaked into the warehouse and recovered the mushrooms stored in a corner.

• Kassandra: These should do fine. Though... they don't look safe to eat.

Kassandra left the wherehouse and travelled to the western coast. She found the shipwreck with Ikaros' help.

• Kassandra: That's the shipwreck with the wine. Hope the pirates haven't gotten here yet.

As she sneaked closer, she overheard a conversation.

• Soldier: This is strong stuff.
• Brute: Save that wine for Xenia!
• Soldier: I'm just pinching a little bit, she'll never know.

Kassandra killed the pirates and recovered the wine in the shelter.

• Kassandra: Wine and wild mushrooms. That's all of it. I should go to the girl and the witch at the temple.

Kassandra returned to the temple, where the witch and the woman were at.

• Kassandra: Here's everything you asked for.

She handed over the items.

• Kallikleia: Thank you, misthios!
• Hekate Witch: Now, I just need a more... personal artifact, the last ingredient.

Sure.I'm not your mule.

• Kassandra: I've come this far, I'll see it through. What else do you need, witch?

• Kassandra: I'm not fetching anything else for you.

• Hekate Witch: No, no. What I need, the girl can provide.
• Kallikleia: I'll give you whatever you need to be with Aetios.
• Hekate Witch: We'll just need a little snip of your beautiful locks. Your part in this is done, misthios. Come to the selection ceremony at Aetios' Aetios' House\house to witness the fruits of your labor. It's the one overlooking the sea.
• Kallikleia: You've gotta come! Once Aetios picks me, I'll make sure to pay you your due!
• Kassandra: I hope he has deep pockets. His love didn't come cheap.
• Hekate Witch: COme. There's much left to do. See you at the ceremon, misthios.
