Don't come over here. OK, OK, I'm joking Come here. I'll make it up to you, I promise. Hello, hello? Misthios?''
*'''Mikkos:''' ''Loook whooo's hereee!''
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Mikkos? You should be at home taking care of Neleus.''
*'''Mikkos:''' ''I should be doing a lot of things, but right now - I want to have some fun.''
*'''Mikkos:''' ''You look like you could use a little fun. And I'm plenty of it. So how about it? You and me. Let's have a great time.''

Kassandra approached the place where the wine jars were located, only to find Cult Scions guarding them.
*'''Cult Scion:''' ''Stop stealing sips of it, you idiot. You know what this wine does, right?''
*'''Cult Guardian:''' ''But it's just so good. Maybe more of it will make us stronger?''
*'''Cult Scion:''' ''More of it will make you dead. You've seen the athletes in the armory -''
*'''Cult Guardian:''' ''What damage could one more sip cause -''
*'''Cult Scion:''' ''We're supposed to be protecting the wine, not drinking it. Stop.''
Kassandra destroyed the jars and took out the guards in the process. Karpos showed up, visibly distraught.
*'''Karpos:''' ''What have you done?! You murdered the - Oh, no, no, no. The general is going to kill me.''
*'''Kassandra:''' ''You're with the Cult, aren't you? What did you do to Neleus -''
*'''Karpos:''' ''No! No, no, no. I'm just uh, business associates with them, I work for the general''
*'''Kassandra:''' ''Tell me what your "business" is with the general, or I start removing your teeth one by one.''
*'''Karpos:''' ''Malaka! Fine. I help the - More like, I'm being blackmailed - By the Cult of Kosmos to deliver them drunk athletes for their army. The good ones fetch more. Good ones like Neleus.''
*'''Kassandra:''' ''And now, he's very sick.''
*'''Karpos:''' ''They do something to the students...It makes them...different. How do you think the elite guards can do what they do? Their strength...it's not normal. Not natural!''

Indulging Just a Little was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Mikkos suggested Kassandra look for the person last seen with Neleus to figure out what made him sick.
Dialogue
Kassandra travelled to the Vineyard of Glory to find Aietes.
Aietes:Ugh, I shouldn't have drunk so much. I need to train or I'll never beat Neleus.
Kassandra:Long night?
Aietes:Ugh...Waaay too long. I need to - ugh - shake this off and start training so I can...Defeat Neleus! And ride that victory to become the Olympic - (Aietes vomits)
Aietes:Ah, who am I kidding, maybe I am just not cut out for this Olympic stuff..
Kassandra:I take it you're Aietes. Mikkos sent me. Neleus -
Aietes:Neleus?! What now? Did he break another record?!.
Kassandra:Yes, he did.
Aietes:Oh, curses! What record did he break this time? I bet it was the discus throw. No, wait. Maybe...
Kassandra:Projectile vomiting.
Aietes:Huh? Zeus! He even beats me at throwing up?! Curse you and your perfections, Neleus! So Mikkos sent you here just to break my spirits?
Kassandra:No, he didn't. He's bound to his bed.
Aietes:Oh, just another drunken night of celebration, then.
Kassandra:Then it must have been quite a night.
Aietes:Huh?
Kassandra:Neleus has taken ill. Mikkos sent me here because you were the last one to see him well.
Aietes:He was fine when we went to Karpos's house for the usual, uh - dose of hedonism - But I didn't leave the party with him. Or seen him since
Kassandra:Something must have happened at the party, then.
Aietes:Look for Karpos at his house on the hill, he probably knows what happened to Neleus. He's a reclusive man, though. You will need to get his attention. I'd say smashing some of his valuable wine, the stuff that gets me this drunk, would get him to come out and play.
Kassandra:Thank you, Aietes. I'll look into it.
Aietes:Well, I better get started, or I'll never catch up to Neleus and the rest.
Kassandra:Being the Olympic champion doesn't sound as impressive as travelling across the Greek world. Come work for me on my ship and see new sights. I could use someone with your arms. Strong, rower's arms.
Aietes:I've always wanted to travel...And you know what, I'm sick of this training day in and day out. Count me in, misthios! I mean, captain.
Kassandra:Aietes, you will be an Olympic champion. Believe in yourself.
Aietes:You're right! I can do this. I've just got to work extra, extra hard. Thank you for believing in me! I'll beat Neleus and all the others.
Kassandra:It'll start with the right attitude.
Kassandra:Do your best, Aietes. See you later.
Kassandra reached Karpos's house and heard a familiar voice
Mikkos:Ooh! Look who it is! Oh, misthiosss! Comeee over hereee! You know you want some of this. Heyyy! Don't ignore me, misthios! Am I not your type? Well, you're not my type either! Fine. Don't come over here. OK, OK, I'm joking Come here. I'll make it up to you, I promise. Hello, hello? Misthios?
Mikkos:Loook whooo's hereee!
Kassandra:Mikkos? You should be at home taking care of Neleus.
Mikkos:I should be doing a lot of things, but right now - I want to have some fun.
Mikkos:You look like you could use a little fun. And I'm plenty of it. So how about it? You and me. Let's have a great time.
Kassandra:I have work to do, Mikkos. Work you sent me to do. I'll pass.
Mikkos:But nooo. Work can wait just for a bit. I promise I won't take long.
Kassandra:Increasingly less interested.
Mikkos:Malaka! Ah, no matter. (Turns to couple behind him)Got space for another? Make a little rooom!
Kassandra approached the place where the wine jars were located, only to find Cult Scions guarding them.
Cult Scion:Stop stealing sips of it, you idiot. You know what this wine does, right?
Cult Guardian:But it's just so good. Maybe more of it will make us stronger?
Cult Scion:More of it will make you dead. You've seen the athletes in the armory -
Cult Guardian:What damage could one more sip cause -
Cult Scion:We're supposed to be protecting the wine, not drinking it. Stop.
Kassandra destroyed the jars and took out the guards in the process. Karpos showed up, visibly distraught.
Karpos:What have you done?! You murdered the - Oh, no, no, no. The general is going to kill me.
Kassandra:You're with the Cult, aren't you? What did you do to Neleus -
Karpos:No! No, no, no. I'm just uh, business associates with them, I work for the general
Kassandra:Tell me what your "business" is with the general, or I start removing your teeth one by one.
Karpos:Malaka! Fine. I help the - More like, I'm being blackmailed - By the Cult of Kosmos to deliver them drunk athletes for their army. The good ones fetch more. Good ones like Neleus.
Kassandra:And now, he's very sick.
Karpos:They do something to the students...It makes them...different. How do you think the elite guards can do what they do? Their strength...it's not normal. Not natural!
Kassandra:No matter their strength, it pales in comparison to mine.

Karpos:The Cultists always took the drunk students from my docks to a cave along the coast, south of here.
