The Blood Fever was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Civilian 2:We survived the massacre, but he'll kill us now!
Priest:The gods have abandoned us. The sick must join the dead if we are to save the living!
Kassandra:You burned the whole village?
Priest:Many nights were lost praying. We had to take action—to scorch the blood fever out of Kausos.
Kassandra:Is there no hope for a cure?
Priest:Nothing has worked. Sacrifice, prayers...
Civilian 2:Healers won't come near us, soldiers won't let us leave... The gods won't answer our prayers!
Kassandra:But I don't know anything about plague.
Priest:There's nothing you can do.
Civilian 1:No!
Priest:If you intervene, I will be forced to defend the god's wills.
Civilian 1:Save us from him! Have pity!
Civilian 2:We aren't even sick! We'll get better!
Priest:Nobody gets better! This is the only way all of Kephallonia will save itself from extermination!
Civilian 2:Please!
Civilian 1:We have children! Think of them!
Priest:Don't regret stopping here, misthios...
Kassandra:Let them go.
Priest:What?!
The villagers ran for safety.
Kassandra demanding the family to be freed
Kassandra:You're no god.
The priest and his guards attacked Kassandra, who defeated and killed them. Kassandra returned to the villagers outside the village. Phoibe came over.
Phoibe:You're a hero!
Civilian 1:That priest came from the underworld. Some "man of the gods."
Civilian 2:The real gods sent you. Time to go. We're well enough to travel, but need healing.
Civilian 1:Before you go—take my drachmae. It can't pay for what you gave us, but it's all we have.
Kassandra accepted the coin pouch.
Kassandra:It'll do just fine.
She shook the man's hand.
Kassandra:Safe travels.
The family left the place.
Phoibe:Be safe, Kynna!
Kassandra:Forget about that. Just travel safely.
Kassandra shook the man's hand.
Civilian 2:You're a gift from the gods, Eagle Bearer. I hope they bless you!
The family left the place.
Phoibe:Bye Kynna! Be safe!
Kassandra:I'm sorry. I shouldn't be involved in this.
Civilian 2:We don't have to die!
Kassandra:How many others will die if I free you?
Civilian 1:You have blood on your hands!
Priest:You've acted on the gods' behalf. They'll bless you for this!
Kassandra left the village, allowing the priest to go ahead with the killing. Phoibe confronted Kassandra.
Phoibe:You... you didn't save them? What about Kynna? She's my friend!
Kassandra:How could I make that choice? I can't always go into things spear first.
Phoibe:You saw they were in trouble! What about Kynna?
Kassandra:They could infect the entire island, Phoibe. You don't know best either.
Kassandra:It's not that simple. You don't understand.
Phoibe:How do you know? I know you didn't help anyone!
Kassandra:There was no right decision to make. Nobody wins.
Kassandra:I know you're sad about Kynna—it's a big loss. But look around you. You want it to be like this everywhere?
Phoibe:No... But maybe Kynna would get better. They could be wrong about her!
Kassandra:And maybe the sickness would take the family tomorrow. It's impossible to tell.
Phoibe:I hope you're right.
Kassandra squat down to comfort Phoibe.
Kassandra:Sometimes, good people die, Phoibe. No matter how much we don't like it.
Phoibe:I know... I just wish it wasn't true.
Phoibe walked away.
Outcome
Kassandra helped Phoibe to look into the blood fever plaguing the village of her friend. She was left decide the family's fate.
