Ambition was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Lysander, a Spartan general, had a plan how to win the war. To do this, he tasked Kassandra to weaken the Athenians by killing the polemarchoi of three forts.

Dialogue

Kassandra sees her grandfather Leonidas's statue.

• Kassandra: Grandfather was a true hero. Maybe one day they'll sculpt a statue of me.

Below the statue's feet by the stairs of its plinth she notices what appears to be a Spartan commander lecturing his soldiers.

• Lysander: We'll not be outmaneuvered by the Athenians the way the Persians did to Leonidas.

Kassandra approaches him.

• Lysander: You're not one of my soldiers. You better have a good reason for being here.

I don't need a reason.We Spartans stick together.

• Kassandra: I don't need a reason, good or otherwise.

Lysander laughs.

• Lysander: Ah. Some bite to you, is there?
• Kassandra: More than some cowering dog.

Lysander guffaws.

• Kassandra: We Spartans stand together. So here I am.

Lysander loosens up.

• Lysander: Yes. Spartan blood matters most.
• Kassandra: Looks like this victory will bring you glory.

Lysander stands proudly.

• Lysander: The rewards of skill and effort!
• Kassandra: It's the Spartan way.

Lysander paused briefly then speaks.

• Lysander: From slave to general, bathing in the blood of this war, while our leaders stuff their faces and preen.

• Kassandra: The polemarchs believe it's an easy victory.

• Lysander: I will end this war in my favor.

• Kassandra: You have a strategy?

• Lysander: Athenian polemarchs are paralyzed with indecision. They serve too many masters.

• Kassandra: Making them slow to react.

• Lysander: And that's where you come in. Infiltrate their forts and kill their polemarchs. I need the way clear for my troops.

• Kassandra: I'll do my part. Consider the commanders already dead.

• Lysander: Bring me their Athenian seals as proof. You'll be rewarded for your efforts.

Kassandra finishes the task eventually and returns to Lysander.

• Lysander: The blood of the enemy will show our leaders that my strategy is the right one.
• Kassandra: These seals should help convince them.
• Lysander: You've done well. Our troops are on the move.
• Kassandra: They underestimate Spartans.
• Lysander: They consider me much lower than a Spartan.
