Eivor the Sheepdog was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2020 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.[1]
Description
Eivor heard a man calling his sheep Fenton and decided to investigate.
Dialogue
Eivor heard a man calling out for someone called Fenton.
- Anglo-Saxon Man: Fenton! Fenton! Jesus Christ! Fenton! There are wolves in that forest!
Eivor went into the forest.
- Eivor: That sounds like a sheep, and not a happy one.
She found a sheep atop a hill, surrounded by wolves.
- Eivor: That sheep will be torn apart if I do not do something.
Eivor killed the pack of wolves and approached the sheep.
- Eivor: Are you Fenton? Your master is calling you. Maybe it will come if I whistle?
She gave it a try and the sheep walked over to Eivor.
- Eivor: It works! The sheep follows my whistle. Come on, let's get you home. You do want to be home, don't you?
Eivor led the sheep back to its owner.
- Anglo-Saxon Man: There you are, Fenton! You've escaped for the last time, you walking mutton chop! Hold still you wooly git!
The man killed the sheep.
- Eivor: I went through all that just so you could kill that poor beast?
- Anglo-Saxon Man: A man like me can ill afford to slaughter a sheep for vittles, but the ealdorman demanded it, and I must obey. Between you and me, I've been dying to murder this bastard for ages. Fenton was a royal pain in my arse. Still, you did me a good turn, stranger. Take some meat for your help. The ealdorman won't miss it.
- Eivor: It's mutton stew for me tonight. Farewell.
Outcome
Eivor rescued a farmer's loose sheep from a wolf pack, only for the man to kill it for food upon her return.
Behind the scenes
The dog breed in the memory's title and the farmer's initial lines are references to a YouTube video in which a man visiting London's Richmond Park chases after his loose sheepdog Fenton, who ignores his exasperated calls to return and instead chases a herd of deer across a road.[2] In both the video and Eivor's memory, the animal owner's opening lines are "Fenton! Fenton! Jesus Christ! Fenton!"[3]
