Stranger Tides was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Kassandra travelled to Achaia to meet Darius.
Dialogue
Kassandra stood aboard the Adrestia as a new message arrived.
- Find Me: Eagle Bearer, we parted ways after some dire events, and the effects linger even as we continue tome. Look above when you are in the western village in Achaia. You'll find me there.
- Kassandra: I should go to Dyme and see who this is is...
Kassandra set sail for Achaia and made her way to the Istion Valley, where the village of Dyme stood. On the roof of a house on top of the hill, a familiar, yet still mysterious, hooded man crouched in wait for her. She climbed the building and spoke with him.
- Kassandra: Darius. Do you ever rest?
He laughed half-heartedly at her remark.
- Darius: After Makedonia, after the Huntsman... Nowhere in the Greek world will ever be safe. Not for us. We can never rest. We can never stop running.
- Kassandra: No home, no "connections"... Sounds like a lonely life.
- Darius: But it's still life, Kassandra. And the alternative...
Better a lonely life than no life at all. - Kassandra: Will Natakas join us?
- Darius: That's why I sent the note.
- Kassandra: Trouble?
- Darius: We came to Achaia seeking a ship bound for distant shores. A simple plan, but like so many simple plans...
- Kassandra: It got complicated.
He turned her attention to the fleet sailing northeast.
- Darius: That fleet is bound for Patrai. It's not the first. Something there is not right. Relentless military patrols, naval blockades... Natakas went to secure us a boat out, but he hasn't returned.
(Asked "What do you think happened to Natakas?")
- Kassandra: You must have some idea about what happened to Natakas.
- Darius: He's smart. Knows to keep to the shadows. With this much military power stationed in Achaia, he's more likely hiding than—
Darius paused, thinking of the word "dead," and it saddened him to associate that word with his son. Kassandra reassured him.
- Kassandra: He's out there, Darius.
(Asked "What is happening in Patrai?")
- Kassandra: What do you think is going on here?
- Darius: Something big. Natakas may have learned more about what's happening there. It could be the Order.
- Kassandra: All the more reason to find him.
(Leave – "We'll find Natakas.")
- Kassandra: Natakas won't be hard to find.
Darius looked towards the eastern road.
- Darius: He took that road to Patrai.
- Kassandra: Then that's where we start.
- Darius: Follow me.
Darius walked to the edge, spread his arms like an eagle, and leapt into a dive. He flipped forward in midair and landed safely on his back into a thick bale of hay below. Kassandra scoffed at his athletic feat.
- Kassandra: Mmm, I've done it from higher.
Before she could follow, a watchman yelled at her for being on the roof.
- Roof Guard: Hey! Hey you! You on the roof!
- Kassandra: Yes?
- Roof Guard: That's not your roof!
- Kassandra: You're right.
Rather than risk provoking the rooftop guard, Kassandra walked to the edge.
- Roof Guard: People always jumping off roofs around here... Better put down more hay.
Kassandra performed the same leap into the pile of hay below.
- Roof Guard: Oh no! No-no-no! She jumped!
She climbed out of the hay to meet Darius.
- Darius: Follow me.
They mounted horses and rode out of Dyme towards Patrai.
- Darius: Something happened to Natakas between here and Patrai. We must find him.
- Kassandra: We will, Darius. We will.
They rode through the valley.
- Kassandra: After Makedonia, but before Achaia—what were you and Natakas doing?
- Darius: Surviving.
- Kassandra: Hmm. Sounds boring.
- Darius: You were hoping I would entertain you with grand tales from my legendary adventures?
- Kassandra: Well... yes.
- Darius: We've kept to the shadows. Stayed away from people. Dull is safe, Kassandra. Adventure... is not.
They reached a fork in the road ahead. Kassandra groaned.
- Kassandra: And the path splits. Natakas will be hard to find.
- Darius: Of course. That's how I raised him. Let's see if we can pick up his trail.
They inspected the two paths, searching for clues that would suggest the direction Natakas took.
{At the start of the left path}
- Kassandra: (loudly) Hmm. Heavy armor. And blood. But no body.
- Darius: Natakas must have been in a hurry to leave such a mess.
{At the start of the right path}
- Kassandra: These weapons belonged to a soldier, not Natakas.
- Darius: Keep looking.
{A bit further down the left path}
- Kassandra: Darius, there is no sign of Natakas. Just supplies and military equipment.
- Darius: He's staying out of sight. Good.
- Darius: Kassandra, over here.
Kassandra approached.
- Darius: A path leading up to the mountains. Let's go.
They started the ride towards the mountains.
- Kassandra: How are you so sure Natakas went this way?
- Darius: Sometimes you have to look further and think harder. There were guards at the bridge. Didn't you see? It was too exposed. Natakas would know better.
They continued east, then southeast. As they rode up the hill, they were ambushed.
[This could easily be out of order and missing some. Dialogue just kept firing one line after another at full gallop.]
- Darius: Ambush!
- Kassandra: I can see that.
- Darius: Cut them down, Kassandra!
- Greek Soldier: The Tempest's word is law!
- Kassandra: Working on it.
- Darius: We can't outrun them!
- Hektor: Ooh, this one's Persian!
- Kassandra: Don't need to outrun them!
- Darius: You have a plan?
- Kassandra: Violence!
- Greek Soldier: Cut them down!
- Greek Soldier: Stop right there!
After slaying the soldiers, they continued east towards the Teichos of Herakles. At the foot of the mountain to the east, Darius bid her to dismount and follow him.
- Darius: Kassandra, over here!
They spied a camp full of soldiers lying in wait. They crouched down.
- Kassandra: They're searching for something.
- Darius: Look at their body language. They want blood.
- Kassandra: They'll get it.
- Darius: We need a plan. If Natakas is hiding here, he could be drawn into heavy battle.
- Kassandra: If we move quietly, we can pick off the guards one by one.
Darius was pleased with her answer.
- Darius: A wise plan, Eagle Bearer.
[Raid the camping guards, choice to charge in or keep to the shadows (probably plays out like Revealing the Recruiter)]
- Darius: Clear the perimeter. Quietly.
They advanced on the camp through the bushes.
- Darius: Be fast. Be silent.
They reached a large bush and got into position. There were five guards in total.
- Greek Soldier: Look for the Persian! He might still be here.
Kassandra advanced on the guard.
- Darius: Quietly, Eagle Bearer.
Darius directed her to take the nearby guard while he advanced on another.
- Darius: You take that one. I'll take this one.
- Greek Soldier: Search the area! He might be hiding.
Kassandra struck down her target.
- Darius: This kill's mine.
Darius assassinated his target. He complimented Kassandra.
- Darius: A good kill.
Kassandra killed the third guard, then the fourth, and finally the fifth.
- Kassandra: We're here for Natakas. And it will be a bloodbath for our enemies.
- Darius: Kassandra!
- Darius: Kassandra! No! We need a plan!
- Darius: There are consequences for rushing in without thinking! We must take a quiet approach.
- Darius: You better know what you're doing.
- Darius: Leave no guards alive! Word of our presence cannot reach Amorges and the Order.
- Kassandra: Natakas.
He should be around here.
After slaying the last guard, Natakas revealed himself, along with a little girl. Kassandra turned around and smiled at him.
- Kassandra: Natakas...
- Kassandra: Told you we'd meet again. "Trust me," I said.
- Natakas: It must be hard for you, being right all the time.
- Kassandra: It's a burden I do my best to bear.
- Natakas: Well. I'm glad to see you, Kassandra.
- Natakas: You're late.
- Kassandra: Am I?
- Natakas: Oh, yes. We were supposed to meet again. "Trust me", I said. I made a big deal about it. Sounded confident and everything.
- Kassandra: Next time I'll do my best to arrive earlier.
- Natakas: Make sure that you do. I'm glad to see you, Kassandra.
- Kassandra: The truth is, I'm here because your father contacted me.
Natakas' face fell. He looked very disappointed.
- Natakas: Of course.
- Kassandra: And I'm glad to see you. When I heard you might be in trouble—
- Natakas: You jumped on your horse and raced to the rescue?
- Kassandra: I'm not sure you needed rescuing.
- Natakas: Still.
Darius ran up to them, cutting their conversation short. He hugged Natakas.
- Darius: My son.
Natakas smiled to him, then turned to Kassandra.
- Natakas: (Ahem) There's something else.
- Child: We need to find my mater!
- Natakas: There are still people who need our help. People who've been stranded in Achaia.
The soldiers took them to a fort not far from here. - Kassandra: I'll go there now.
- Darius: More soldiers could come looking. If we leave the bodies out here, it may attract unwanted attention.
- Natakas: I'll gather the others while you hide the bodies.
Darius nodded in agreement and went to do the task. Natakas turned to Kassandra.
- Natakas: The stranded people are at the fort on top of the cliff. Return safely.
Kassandra nodded.
- Child: Bring my mater back to me! Please...
Outcome
Kassandra and Darius found Natakas and with him a child, whose mother was taken prisoner at a nearby fort. Kassandra agreed to help out.
