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

Description

Kassandra agreed to help her old comrade Heitor return a special blade that had seen him through many campaigns. A local polemarch had taken it. She would find him and get the sword.

Dialogue

[needs previous dialogue]

Kassandra returned to Heitor with the sword in hand.

• Heitor: "Glad you're back safely. Did you get my Harpe?"

(If the player chose "I got your sword.")

• Kassandra: "Yes, I found Harpe."
• Heitor: "Good, good."
• Heitor: "And what of that malákas commander?"

(If the player killed the polemarch)

• Kassandra: ""
• Heitor: ""

or

(If the player did not kill the polemarch)

• Kassandra: "And what of him?"
• Heitor: "Oh, no matter - you have my sword. That's what's important."

Kassandra realizes that Heitor has been lying to her.

(If the player chose "Fess up.")

(If the player chose "You sold Harpe.")

• Kassandra: "The sword wasn't stolen from you, was it? You used me."
• Heitor: "Truth be told, I never said it was stolen."
• Kassandra: "You..."
• Heitor: "Ah, a crime of omission only, my friend. You know how important Harpe is to me."
• Heitor: "I had no money, couldn't fight anymore. I would have died without a drachma by the side of the road. Selling Harpe enabled me to start my business."
• Heitor: "You wouldn't begrudge a man a second chance, would you?"
• Kassandra: "No... but I don't like being lied to."
• Heitor: "I'm sorry, OK? I'm sorry."

Kassandra shifts the subject to her payment.

(If the player chose "Don't worry about it.")

(If the player chose "You still owe me drachmae.")

• Kassandra: "Getting Harpe back wasn't easy. I had to go to a lot of trouble... A little drachmae wouldn't hurt."
• Heitor: "Ha! You truly are a mercenary, through and through."
• Kassandra: "I learned from the best, remember?"
• Heitor: "Of course, of course. I'm happy to pay. You did me a great service today, and great work deserves a great reward. Here, take this."
• Heitor: "Even if I don't swing her anymore, I'm glad to have Harpe back."
• Kassandra: "Take care of yourself, Heitor, and try not to lose anything else."

Kassandra collects her payment and departs, though this wouldn't be the last she heard from Heitor.

Trivia

• Lying to Heitor allows the player to keep Harpe as a weapon, at a reduced XP compared to handing it over. It also remains as a quest item.
• Handing over Harpe rewards Heitor's Breastplate instead and rewards more XP. Kassandra also has the option to confront Heitor for lying to her about the nature of the sword's disappearance.
• Killing the polemarch once at any point in the game, even after allowing him to respawn before beginning the quest in earnest and/or looting the sword, triggers the dialogue for killing him when reporting back to Heitor.
