Minotour de Force was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
In the town of Lato, Kassandra's attention was drawn by the exclamations of Leiandros, promising glory, honour and drachmae to whoever managed to slay the Minotaur.
In Lato, Kassandra spotted a group of townsfolk crowding around Leiandros.
Kassandra approached Leiandros.
The man laughed.
(Accept – I'll kill your Minotaur.)
The crowd cheered as Leiandros sold the scene to them.
(If players choose ""Pre-Trials"?!")
(If players choose "What is the "The Prize of Pephka"?")
(If players choose "What exactly is the Minotaur?")
(If players choose "What does the name "Melite" mean to you?")
(I'm ready.)
A woman interrupted the conversation, walking to them.
Leiandros leaned forward, whispering to Kassandra.
Leiandros stepped backwards and raised his voice again.
Kassandra departed to complete the trials mentioned by Leiandros. In doing so, she collected all the three tokens to prove her success.
Kassandra met Leiandros, agreeing to participate in the "pre-trials" before facing the Minotaur. She obtained all three tokens as proof of her success.
