Test of Judgment was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Kassandra was tasked by the mysterious woman to investigate the graveyard in Megara.
Dialogue
- Mysterious Woman Misthios, may I trade your time for wealth? You look wiser than the average mercenary. Perhaps you're nearly as wise as Athena herself...
- Kassandra: You speak plainly, auntie.
- Mysterious Woman: I speak the truth, Kassandra.
- Kassandra: You know me?
- Mysterious Woman: Don't pretend to be ignorant of your infamy, Kassandra the Eagle Bearer. I have a series of tasks I thought someone of your reputation could handle. But if you feel you're not up to it...
- Kassandra: What kind of tasks?
- Mysterious Woman: To begin, I have a test of judgment. Which god is more dangerous, Poseidon or Apollo? The answer lies in a nearby tomb.
- Kassandra: This is just a riddle.
- Mysterious Woman: Riddles are telling. And rewarding, when I give them. Prove your worth to me by going to the graveyard near the Sanctuary of Athena and solving it.
(If the player chooses "I can't help you right now.")
- Kassandra: I don't have time for riddles at the moment.
(If the player chooses "I'll solve your dead man's riddle.")
- Kassandra: Fine, I'll figure out this riddle.
Kassandra headed north to the graveyard of Megara. On arriving she read a large tombstone:
- Kassandra: "Here lies my father, a simple farmer. A lion tore him to pieces as he brought in his grain. May the gods grant him peace."
She also noticed a golden plate resting against the tombstone:
- Kassandra: A golden plate marked with the sun. An offering dedicated to Apollo and his youthful strength.
Kassandra considered the memorial.
- Kassandra: Lions are a golden beast with manes like the sun. Surely they are the favorite of Apollo... Does that make him the more dangerous god?
Kassandra considered a second memorial, and read the tombstone:
- Kassandra: "Here lies my brother, a brave man. He was chosen to confront the enemy threatening our village. But his ship sank, and sharks feasted on his flesh. What little parts were found, I sealed in this tomb."
Kassandra noticed an offering next to the tombstone:
- Kassandra: A model ship as an offering to Poseidon. Clearly someone feared death in the sea.
Kassandra considered the second memorial.
- Kassandra: Sharks are under the command of Poseidon, as are all creatures of the sea. Is he the more dangerous god?
Kassandra tried speaking with the Hermit, who replied simply:
- Hermit: Whoooo.
Finding a small clay tablet resting on a tree, Kassandra read:
- Kassandra: "Protect us from teeth that tear and beasts that bite." Sounds like a child's prayer.
Beginning to leave, Kassandra a furious man stepped in front of Kassandra and confronted her.
- Dorykleidas: You! I know who you are. Athena sent you to kill me!
- Kassandra: Why would you think that?
- Dorykleidas: I was to be tried for murder, but a great fire burned up the court and all the records. I walked free! But lately I've heard Athena in my dreams, saying I would meet justice. And here you are.
- Kassandra: Yes, I am the emissary of the gods. Cause me trouble, and I'll end your miserable life.
- Dorykleidas: I know what Athena told me. I'll face my death blade-first!
The man attacked Kassandra, who promptly killed him.
