To Find a Girl was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
On Alkibiades's lead, Kassandra travelled to Korinthia to look for Anthousa, the leader of the hetaerae.
Kassandra made her way to the Porneion in Korinthia.
She soon found a civilian.

She encountered another civilian.
(If players choose "Why aren't they in the Porneion?")
(If players choose "I need to find them.")
Kassandra soon spotted a young woman.

(If players choose "Who are the hetaerae?")
(If players choose "Help me find the hetaerae.")
With information in hand, Kassandra traveled to the Akrokorinth. When she arrived, thugs were threatening the worshippers.
Kassandra killed the thugs, with the civilians helping by crying out warnings when more approached. Once victorious, she set about questioning the worshippers.

(If players choose "Then I should look out for him.")
(If players choose "What does the Monger want from the hetaerae?")
(If players choose "I'm looking for Anthousa.")
Kassandra made her way to the Spring in hopes of finding Anthousa.


They walked inside the building.


Phoibe left the two to talk.

(If players choose "Why does the Monger bother stealing?")

(If players choose "Why burn the warehouse?")
(If players choose "I'll do it.")
On Alkibiades' advise, Kassandra met the hetaerae Anthousa, agreeing to help her deal with the Monger in exchange for information on her mother's whereabouts.
