- Kassandra: Ha! They couldn't even get it to work properly.
- Natakas: It's only a matter of time before they succeed. We need to do something.

Persian Puppetry was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2018 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Kassandra met with Natakas in Patrai.
Kassandra located Natakas on the deck of a house overlooking the docks. She leaned against the post and smiled at him, and he motioned for her to crouch down beside him.

They turned their attention to ship in front of them.
A child sailed a small toy boat in a puddle. As she looked up, her eyes widened with fear. She grabbed her boat and fled from the imposing figure approaching the docks. Two adults cowered in fear as well while the soldiers stood at attention.
Two soldiers came to the lieutenant's side, and he glanced at them before answering, motioning towards the ship in dock.

The Tempest glanced at the ship.
The soldiers looked at each other nervously. The lieutenant went to fire the weapons personally. She ordered to the other men.
They observed while the lieutenant got in position and gave the signal.

Plumes of fire erupted from the bow of the ship. After only a few seconds, the flames abruptly snuffed out as the fuel reserves caught fire, exploding violently and engulfing the deck in flames. The Tempest turned to the other soldiers barely containing her anger as the ship sank casually in the background.
They formed ranks and marched off.

(Accept – "Let's get the Tempest.")
Behind them, a man listened in on their conversation.
They traveled east through Patrai, overhearing some civilians chattering about the recent demonstration.
Further down, a man complained about the exploding ships.
A woman also complained about the harbor being shut down.
Outside the shipyard, a commander barked orders to the workers.
Kassandra and Natakas walked inside.
Natakas began his investigation, and Kassandra began hers. She inspected the tables inside the main gate of the shipyard.

She proceeded to question some of the workers, starting with a man to the left.
Kassandra sensed a disturbance.
She turned through a nearby barn and overheard a panicking worker.
Near the lumber storage in the middle of the shipyard, Kassandra inquired with a man working with rope.
She sensed the disturbance was a person.
Kassandra spoke to a woman crouching down by a pile of wood.
The woman began sobbing uncontrollably before she could finish her statement. Kassandra sensed the person was following her.
She spoke to a man near the dry-docks.
Having learned nothing, save for the fear the Tempest instills in ordinary people, Kassandra returned to Natakas.
Kassandra spoke to him.
He presented a bounty letter.

Kassandra observed the open bounty and realized the implication.

Natakas stopped himself. Both he and Kassandra noticed the man who was clearly following them.
He glanced over at a warehouse in the distance.
Natakas nodded in agreement.
Natakas shoved her and shouted.
Kassandra was taken aback, then realized it made for an effective ruse.
Natakas got into position while Kassandra assessed the number of enemies. She ambushed them at the opportune moment, and Natakas drew his weapons as well.
Kassandra and Natakas defeated the guards and their stalker.

Kassandra held the stalker to a nearby post with her right hand and her spear to his neck with her left.
The stalker laughed defiantly.
Kassandra stepped back slowly as he continued laughing, letting down his guard. She thrust the spear deep into his gut and he fell to his knees, still defiant.
The mercenary keeled over from blood loss and expired.
She and Natakas turned to leave.

Kassandra made her way to the docks and took the Adrestia out of port to attack the ships supporting the Tempest.
She engaged the ships and overwhelmed them, sending them to the bottom of the sea.
Kassandra and Natakas learned about the secret weapon and Order's plan that instructs Tempest on capturing them. After defeating the guards that were hunting them, Kassandra destroyed Tempest's fleet in order to get her attention.
