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

Description

Kassandra happened to witness a woman accused of dishonoring the Olympic Games, and came to her rescue.

Dialogue

Outside the entrance to the Hippodrome Kassandra sees a crowd watching a priestess accuse a woman who is kneeling.

• Priestess of Demeter: This woman has disrespected the gods and shown contempt for tradition.

A man from the crowd shouts.

• Civilian: Shame! Shame!
• Kallipateira: Please, I only want to see my son compete.
• Priestess of Demeter: You mean you wanted to gaze lustfully upon the bodies of the athletes!
• Kallipateira: No, I swear!

Kassandra approaches them.

• Priestess of Demeter: You have dishonored yourself and the Games.
• Kallipateira: Please, let me explain.

She moves in closer.

• Priestess of Demeter: No excuses. You know the price for your transgression.
• Kassandra: What crime has this woman committed?

The priestess turned towards her.

• Priestess of Demeter: Exactly that — her crime is that she is a woman.
• Kassandra: It's news to me that's now a crime. Shouldn't you lock yourself up first, then?
• Priestess of Demeter: I am the Priestess of Demeter — I preside over the Games. She's a married woman who tried to watch them. Disguised as a man, no less!

(If players choose "Why is it a crime?")

• Kassandra: And why is any of this a crime?
• Priestess of Demeter: For a married woman, there's too much... temptation.

(If players choose "Who is this woman?") Kassandra turns her attention to the kneeling woman.

• Kassandra: Who are you?

She looks up to Kassandra.

• Kallipateira: Kallipateira. I just wanted to see my son compete. My family has a proud lineage at the Olympic Games — my father, brothers, nephew, and son have all won wreaths. Do I not have the right to see them?
• Priestess of Demeter: Enough of your lies!

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

• Kassandra: She doesn't deserve to be punished like this.
• Priestess of Demeter: This is nothing! Death is the punishment. She shall be thrown from the mountain.

The priestess points to the mountain overlooking the Valley of Olympia. Kallipateira clasps her hands together and begs Kassandra.

• Kallipateira: Help me — prove I have a right to see my son compete.
• Priestess of Demeter: You have no right. You broke a sacred tradition, and for that you will be punished.

I won't let this happen.I'm staying out of this.

• Kassandra: Your laws are wrong, and I'll prove it.
• Priestess of Demeter: As you're so outspoken in her defense, I will give you a chance. Present me evidence of Kallipateira's noble heritage — or she will die as she ruled, to appease the gods.

• Kassandra: It's not my place to interfere.

Kassandra returns.

• Kallipateira: Please help me! Prove that I had the right to see my son in the Games.

(Back to dialogue choice one.)

Kassandra tells herself:

• Kassandra: I should find Kallipateira's son, he should be able to help prove his mater's innocence.

(If Kassandra returns to the priestess before going too far.)

• Priestess of Demeter: Well? Your "proof"?
• Kassandra: I'll find something to prove her innocence.

Kassandra left towards the resting area below, north of the Temple of Zeus

Outcome

Kassandra gathered the proof required, and presented it to the Priestess of Demeter and the Spartan Judge, who then acquitted Kallipateira.
