To Kill or Not to Kill 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 followed the trail of her mother Myrrine and the Spartan general Brasidas to the Statue of Artemis in the Cedar in Arkadia, but Arkadia's welcome façade belied its hostility.
Kassandra crossed the border into Arkadia and reminded herself of her meeting point with Myrrine.
Kassandra crossed Golden Fields of Akardia and remark to herself.
Kassandra traveled to a hill at the border of the Golden Fields, upon which sat the statue. She spotted it with the help of Ikaros.

She climbed the hill and encountered the mercenary Sosipatros, instead of Brasidas, at the base of the statue.
Ikaros swooped down upon her head and uttered a short call. She grimaced at the eagle's poor timing, if not intentional on his part, and dropped the ruse.

Sosipatros drew his sword and attacked Kassandra, but was quickly defeated.
He yielded and dropped to one knee.

Kassandra threatened Sosipatros.
Sosipatros slumped back on the ground.
Kassandra drew her spear.
Sosipatros laughed and stood up.
Having acquired the information she sought, Kassandra left Sosipatros.
Still enraged at Sosipatros' duplicity, Kassandra fought him again and killed him. Looting his body, she found a sword, a ring, and a note.
Letter from Brasidas
Kassandra made her way to the cliff overlooking Tegea and finally reunited with Myrrine and Brasidas. As she entered their encampment, she heard them arguing.

Brasidas took his leave of the women and Myrrine took his place at the cliff to speak to Kassandra.
