Brothers in Arms was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Kassandra's abilities had earned the respect of Iatrokles, the agoge master. He then entrusted her with finding two lost paidískoi, or students, who disappeared mysteriously from their overnight camp.
Dialogue
- Iatrokles: Now that I know you can fight... I have a serious matter to discuss.
- Kassandra: Oh?
- Iatrokles: Two of my older students have gone missing, and I need someone I can trust to find them.
- Kassandra: They should know enough to take care of themselves...
- Iatrokles: Yes, but the world is full of unexpected dangers, and I cannot leave my charges to investigate properly.
(If players choose "What were the students doing?")
- Kassandra: What were their last orders?
- Iatrokles: I had sent them to a lookout camp, where they were to survive on their own for a few days. It is up to them to treat it seriously... But when I went to check on them, there was no sign.
(If players choose "What threats are in the area?")
- Kassandra: What dangers did you expect them to face?
- Iatrokles: The students learn to watch for wolves and bears. But I saw no spoor.
- Kassandra: Perhaps a different sort of beast...
(Leave - "I'll find the students.") Iatrokles frowns.
- Iatrokles: The two students who are missing are called Akamas and Theoros.
- Kassandra: Theoros? Makarios's brother?
- Iatrokles: The same. I fear I have failed the magistrate.
- Kassandra: I'll look at the campsite and see what I can find.
Kassandra went up the small cliff overlooking the training camp and located the campsite some thirty meters from the cliff. She started to investigate the empty campsite.
- Kassandra: A burned patch. Someone dropped a torch in surprise.
Behind the tent she spotted a broken aspis with blood around it.
- Kassandra: A lost shield... that is a bad omen.
A few paces west, a broken dory and Corinthian helmet.
- Kassandra: Signs of battle.
And a corpse lying facedown - blood around the head.
- Kassandra: A body. Hmm. He doesn't look much like Makarios or Xanthe. Must be the other boy.
Along the rocky slopes of the mountain:
- Kassandra: A trail... someone ran towards the mountain heights. Could be Theoros.
She followed the intermittent trail of blood on the slopes of Mount Taygetos until finally sighting a cave that leads to it. Kassandra went inside, saw three bandits and Theoros kneeling with his hands tied behind his back.
- Kassandra: Found him!
Kassandra proceeded to fight the bandits
- Theoros: Gods be good, please untie me!
She killed the first one.
- Theoros: Have mercy! Cut me free!
Eliminated the second bandit.
- Theoros: Help me, before these murderers butcher me!
Then finally executed the leader. She untied Theoros and talked to him.
- Theoros: My gratitude, warrior. I was certain I would not see another day.
- Kassandra: What's your name?
- Theoros: Theoros.
- Kassandra: Trainer Iatrokles will want to know what happened to you and your companion.
- Theoros: My age-mate, Akamas, was killed by these dogs when we saw them sneaking about in the night.
- Kassandra: And what happened to you?
Theoros speaks nervously.
- Theoros: I fell in combat, and they dragged me here.
- Kassandra: I saw the battlefield. You ran as soon as your companion fell. A Spartan never drops his shield.
- Theoros: Curse you. Yes! I don't want to be a soldier, I never wanted to! All I wanted was a small boat, a small life. To fish and live in peace.
- Kassandra: A fisherman?! I came all this way for a coward?
- Theoros: So what? I didn't ask for this. It was forced upon me. A boy in Sparta has no other choice.
- Kassandra: Your mother and Makarios will be disgusted by you.
- Theoros: At least I'll be alive to pray for them and love them from afar. Thank you for my life, misthios, but tell them I'm not coming back.
TBA
- Kassandra: Your brother worships you and will be overjoyed to see you.
- Theoros: Makarios? Has the time come for him to join the agoge already?
- Kassandra: Yes, he already studies with Trainer Iatrokles.
- Theoros: Curse all of Olympos! He isn't ready for this.
- Kassandra: The world is tough. But if we look out for those we love, we can shield them from at least a little harm.
- Theoros: I do not know that I can face my brother - all my brothers - again.
- Kassandra: Of course you can. Makarios worships you. But you can use that love to fuel your bravery and defeat your fear. Retrieve your shield from where you left it and return to the agoge. Soon you'll embrace your brother again.
- Theoros: Thank you, my friend. I will! Please, tell my mother that her sons will do the family proud.
