Catch and Release was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
The forlorn cries of a fisherman's wife drew the attention of Kassandra in Heraklion, and she agreed to help her.
Dialogue
While near the Fisherman's Beachhead, Kassandra met a woman in distress.
["Help me misthios!", "I'll save your husband!", sail north and kill pirates on the beach, et cetera]
Kassandra returned to Fisherman's Beachhead and spoke to the reunited couple.
Civilian:I owe you beyond measure.
Civilian:How can I repay you?
Kassandra:My services are expensive.
Civilian:I - of course. You're worth every drachma. There would be more, but Swordfish already took his cut.
Kassandra:There's enough widows in this world - we didn't need another. I was happy to help.
Civilian:We're behind on our payments to Swordfish, so your kindness is appreciated. But here, take this.
(Swordfish dead)
Kassandra:Swordfish? You don't need to worry about him anymore. He's dead.
Civilian:Dead?
Civilian:He may be gone, but there will always be someone who takes advantage of the honest and the weak.
Civilian:Still... Thank you, misthios.
Kassandra took her leave, noting where to find Swordfish.
Kassandra:I should check out the waters near the beacon.
Kassandra:
Civilian:
Outcome
Kassandra rescued the wayward fisherman and returned him home safely.
Trivia
The hero makes a closing comment to check out the waters near the beacon, which is part of the investigation into Swordfish, even if the investigation is not active at the time this quest is completed. It does not trigger if Swordfish is already dead, however.
Even if the quest is completed prior to activating Blood in the Water, it will automatically increment that quest's investigation bar by one third. Completing the investigation bar is ultimately not required to locate Swordfish and complete that quest.
The quest rewards the Swordfish Spear regardless of choice, with the "Lots of drachmae" option yielding significantly more money than the alternative.
