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

Description

Kassandra was tasked by the mysterious woman to investigate the graveyard in Megara.

Dialogue

• Mysterious Woman Misthios, may I trade your time for wealth? You look wiser than the average mercenary. Perhaps you're nearly as wise as Athena herself...

You should watch what you say.That's refreshingly direct.

• Kassandra: Wiser and stronger. You might watch your tongue, auntie.
• Mysterious Woman: You might watch yourself, Kassandra.

• Kassandra: You speak plainly, auntie.
• Mysterious Woman: I speak the truth, Kassandra.

• Kassandra: You know me?
• Mysterious Woman: Don't pretend to be ignorant of your infamy, Kassandra the Eagle Bearer. I have a series of tasks I thought someone of your reputation could handle. But if you feel you're not up to it...
• Kassandra: What kind of tasks?
• Mysterious Woman: To begin, I have a test of judgment. Which god is more dangerous, Poseidon or Apollo? The answer lies in a nearby tomb.
• Kassandra: This is just a riddle.
• Mysterious Woman: Riddles are telling. And rewarding, when I give them. Prove your worth to me by going to the graveyard near the Sanctuary of Athena and solving it.

(If the player chooses "I can't help you right now.")

• Kassandra: I don't have time for riddles at the moment.

(If the player chooses "I'll solve your dead man's riddle.")

• Kassandra: Fine, I'll figure out this riddle.

Kassandra headed north to the graveyard of Megara. On arriving she read a large tombstone:

• Kassandra: "Here lies my father, a simple farmer. A lion tore him to pieces as he brought in his grain. May the gods grant him peace."

She also noticed a golden plate resting against the tombstone:

• Kassandra: A golden plate marked with the sun. An offering dedicated to Apollo and his youthful strength.

Kassandra considered the memorial.

• Kassandra: Lions are a golden beast with manes like the sun. Surely they are the favorite of Apollo... Does that make him the more dangerous god?

Kassandra considered a second memorial, and read the tombstone:

• Kassandra: "Here lies my brother, a brave man. He was chosen to confront the enemy threatening our village. But his ship sank, and sharks feasted on his flesh. What little parts were found, I sealed in this tomb."

Kassandra noticed an offering next to the tombstone:

• Kassandra: A model ship as an offering to Poseidon. Clearly someone feared death in the sea.

Kassandra considered the second memorial.

• Kassandra: Sharks are under the command of Poseidon, as are all creatures of the sea. Is he the more dangerous god?

Kassandra tried speaking with the Hermit, who replied simply:

• Hermit: Whoooo.

Finding a small clay tablet resting on a tree, Kassandra read:

• Kassandra: "Protect us from teeth that tear and beasts that bite." Sounds like a child's prayer.

Beginning to leave, Kassandra a furious man stepped in front of Kassandra and confronted her.

• Dorykleidas: You! I know who you are. Athena sent you to kill me!
• Kassandra: Why would you think that?
• Dorykleidas: I was to be tried for murder, but a great fire burned up the court and all the records. I walked free! But lately I've heard Athena in my dreams, saying I would meet justice. And here you are.

You're right, I'm on a godly mission.No, I'm just fulfilling a contract.

• Kassandra: Yes, I am the emissary of the gods. Cause me trouble, and I'll end your miserable life.
• Dorykleidas: I know what Athena told me. I'll face my death blade-first!

The man attacked Kassandra, who promptly killed him.
