The Contender 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 the Sanctuary of Olympia, taking Testikles' place in the pankration games in the Olympic Games.
Dialogue
Kassandra arrived at the Sanctuary of Olympia.
- Kassandra: The Sanctuary of Olympia! Where the greatest athletes compete for fame and glory.
She travelled to the Stadium, where she met the pankration organizer.
- Paios: Pankration here! Last chance to claim your spot!
- Kassandra: I'm here for the pankration.
- Paios: You must be joking. The only fighter we're missing is Testikles.
- Kassandra: I'm Testikles.
- Paios: You're Testikles?! The same Testikles I went out drinking with last season, the one who made advances on my wife... and brother?
- Kassandra: Er... The diet and training is... transformative.
- Paios: Obviously...
- Kassandra: The people came for a show. I'll give them one.
- Paios: This is unprecedented, but the crowd will riot if the pankration is cancelled. Very well. The competition begins shortly.
- Kassandra: Time to go.
Kassandra followed the organizer to make preparations. She made her way to the ring, facing her competitor, Orion.
- Leander: Welcome all, it is my pleasure to introduce you to Kallias. A former champion here in this stadium, and now an esteemed judge in Olympia.
The crowd, including Alkibiades, applauded for Kallias' arrival.
- Kallias: My friends, it is an honor for me to introduce this event, one so close to my heart. The pankration!
The crowd continued applauding.
- Kallias: I will not delay you with words, for we all want to see action.
Kallias turned towards Kassandra and Orion.
- Kallias: For Zeus, let the competition commence!
Kassandra and Orion prepared to begin.
- Orion: I'll squish you like a bug.
Orion attacked Kassandra, who landed a few blows on him.
- Orion: It hurts!
- Kassandra: Where's your tough talk gone now?
- Orion: Why you... Please, please by gods... No more!
Kassandra defeated Orion.
- Kassandra: That was your best?
- Kallias: That was but the beginning.
- Kassandra: What?
- Leander: Now that our contestant is warmed up, let's see what she can do against ERASTOS!
The next competitor Erastos arrived.
- Kallias: Good luck...
The fight began.
- Erastos: Don't blink or you'll be seeing stars!
Kassandra landed a blow on Erastos.
- Leander: Another big hit!
(If players killed Kallias before the quest.)
Alkibiades, among the crowd, begins to recite a poem.
- Alkibiades: "So I, the Muses' nectar shedding; To conquerors deal the draught divine; Whose brow, with garlands amply spreading; Pytho and Olympia twine. Blest the sound of virtuous fame —"
Leander cuts him.
- Leander: There could be no more fitting tribute than a quote from Pindar. Let the contest begin!
- Orion: I'll crush you like an ant.
The fight begins.
- Orion: Huh, you'll be easy!
Orion attacked Kassandra, who landed a few blows on him.
- Orion: It hurts!
- Leander: I'm glad I'm not in there!
- Kassandra: Where's your tough talk gone now?
- Orion: Why you... Please, please by gods... No more!
- Kassandra: That was easy.
Leander applauds.
- Leander: A strong start.
- Kassandra: Start?!
- Leander: All welcome our next opponent, Erastos!
The next competitor Erastos arrived and the fight began.
- Erastos: Don't blink or you'll be seeing stars!
Kassandra landed a blow on Erastos.
- Leander: Wow!
Kassandra defeated Erastos. The crowd cheered with Leander clapping for Kassandra's performance.
- Leander: The crowd loves you... but you're not done yet.
- Kassandra: not done?!
- Leander: A fine offering to the gods, wouldn't you say? Soon, we will return for the final contest - the might Kassandra against our reigning champion, Dorieus!
After the event, Kassandra wore back her clothes and met with Alkibiades and Barnabas.
- Barnabas: Astounding! To think I could be a companion to an Olympic champion.
- Alkibiades: You're even better at sparring than I am -
Barnabas and Kassandra looked at each other in disbelief.
- Alkibiades: Though if Sokrates were a more willing partner...
Alkibiades collapsed. Barnabas and Kassandra tended to him.
- Barnabas: Alkibiades, are you all right?
- Alkibiades: I was... with my friends Demophanes and Kallias. Respected Olympic judges, no less...
- Kassandra: Too much cheap wine?
- Barnabas: You look like you drank from Medea's cup...
- Kassandra: Medea's cup? You think he's been poisoned?
You were... celebrating? - Alkibiades: It's the Olympics. What's not to celebrate? We were at the Leonidaion.
Kassandra stood up.
- Kassandra: If you've been poisoned, I need to find these judges.
- Alkibiades: Poisoned? Do you think that they could be too or... No. Never! They're good men you can't think one of them... They host a celebration every Olympics to celebrate the sacred truce.
Alkibiades proceeded to barf. Kassandra turned to Barnabas.
- Kassandra: Stay with him. I'll find out what happened.
Outcome
Kassandra replaced Testikles in the pankration Olympics. She defeated Orion and Erastos, advancing to the finals against the reigning champion Dorieus. After the event, she met with Alkibiades and Barnabas, the former later collapsing from possibly being poisoned.
