Of Minotaurs and Men was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Within the ruined Knossos Palace, Kassandra found a makeshift camp and investigated it, making the acquaintance of a young boy, Ardos.
Dialogue
Exploring the Knossos Palace, Kassandra came upon a camp someone had put together. Intrigued, she inspected it. As she knelt before the chest in the camp, a voice rang behind her.
- Ardos: Don't touch that chest! It's mine!
Kassandra stood up and turned to face the boy.
- Kassandra: Feeling brave, are you?
- Ardos: Me? No. Brave people are just looking for trouble.
But if you wanna be brave? Open it. - Kassandra: This is junk.
- Ardos: Maybe to you -
- but it's all I have.
- Kassandra: These ruins are an... interesting place to set up camp. What brings you here?
Ardos walked past her, and then sighed.
- Ardos: A long time ago, below this very spot, my pater - the great adventurer, Nikios - entered the labyrinth to steal the Minotaur's treasure.
As I waited outside, I heard shouts and roars, then his men came pouring out -
His men, but not pater. I need to save him.
- Kassandra: The Minotaur was just a man in a mask.
And not much a man at that.
- Kassandra: I've met the Minotaur... He's not what you think.
- Kassandra: A tragic tale... But last I heard, the Minotaur was living in Pephka. He's quite famous.
- Ardos: They don't know what they're talking about! The real Minotaur is in Messara!
- Kassandra: That's what they said in Pephka.
- Ardos: It's a scam.
Trust me, I know scams.
- Kassandra: Where is he then? You said the labyrinth was beneath us -
- Ardos: Yeah! There's a creepy looking trapdoor beneath the temple!
- Kassandra: Take me there, and I will slay the Minotaur and find your pater's-
Ardos looked at her hopefully. She stammered.
- Kassandra: ...Find your pater.
- Ardos: You-you'll do that?
(Accept - Yes, I will.)
- Kassandra: The Minotaur will die, and I will find your pater.
- Ardos: Thank you, misthios! No one ever believes me.
- Kassandra: Just calm down and take me to the labyrinth.
What's your name? - Ardos: Ardos!
Now, follow me! The entrance is way down underground.
Ardos took off into the depths of the ruins, with Kassandra following him as Ardos chattered away.
- Ardos: It's down this way!
This place is going to blow your mind, misthios. There's a hugeeeeee room and there's a hugeeeeee hole in the ground with a hugeeeeee door.
Everybody keeps going on about how - Theseus killed the Minotaur.
Lies! I heard it! A roar, like - like uh -
Rolling thunder!
Yeah, that's it.
Deeper and deeper they went.
- Ardos: The Minotaur is still alive! And hungry!
- Kassandra: Great.
- Ardos: I'm glad you came along. Now pater has a shot of getting out of that damn labyrinth.
Behind a broken wall, the Minoan architecture gave way to something built way earlier.
- Ardos: They really didn't have to put the entrance this deep. Almost there. What were these Minoans thinking?
Here we are!
Kassandra followed Ardos into a huge hall. The boy beamed with excitement.
- Ardos: Isn't this amaaaaaazing?!
Kassandra beheld the gate to the labyrinth, the stele before it.
- Kassandra: I've seen some things, Ardos. But this...
- Ardos: IS AMAAAAAAAAAZING.
- Kassandra: It's just a ruined door.
A big door, sure. - Ardos: No, it's not! It's a really - a -
S-Stop ruining everything!
- Kassandra: So the Minotaur lies beneath Knossos Palace...
She turned to Ardos.
- Kassandra: Open the door. I've got a minotaur to slay.
- Ardos: Ah. Uh, right.
Outcome
Kassandra completed her investigation of the men who accompanied Nikios into the Labyrinth of the Minotaur. In doing so, she determined that Ardos unknowingly held the key all along.
