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

Description

Kassandra spoke to Praxilla about recovering her beloved lyre.

Dialogue

Kassandra approaches the young woman talking with Alkibiades.

• Kassandra: Praxilla? I have flowers for you from Orchimedes of... somewhere.
• Praxilla: Did I not tell you to get the wine five minutes ago?
• Alkibiades: Kassandra of Agiad. May I introduce to you my dear friend, Praxilla. Apollo's muse, and mistress of the golden strings.
• Kassandra: You're Praxilla?
• Praxilla: Didn't expect an aged bard, Mercenary of Agiad?

Age doesn't concern me, only drachmae.Mastery takes time.

• Kassandra: People your age tend to have more wealth, so if anything this is better for me.

• Kassandra: It would be foolish of me to assume a master of the craft would be young.

• Alkibiades: Praxilla, this is Kassandra of Agiad. Eagle Bearer, Messenger of Zeus, launcher of a thousand -
• Praxilla: Kassandra. Ka. Ka? Casts stone and light alike. Leaves ladies and lads alight, alive? Ailing women and awestruck men cling to her side.
• Alkibiades: Ah, a true genius.
• Praxilla: Look at those shoulders. A soldier. A Spartan? A thorn in the side of tyrants. She who dares challenge Poseidon. Alkibiades, this one I'm keeping my eyes on.
• Alkibiades: The poems she writes about me are never so kind.
• Kassandra: I have flowers for you. They're not from me. They're from Orchimedes. He's right over...

Turn to see Orchimedes fleeing the area.

• Kassandra: Well he was over there.
• Praxilla: A Coral Rose? I'll have to get my servant to add these to the pile.

You should be more grateful.Flattery doesn't go far with me either.

• Kassandra: It's a gift. Show some gratitude.

• Kassandra: I also prefer actions to easy gestures.

• Praxilla: Where is that servant girl? I swear, her head must be rattling with rocks.
• Alkibiades: I wish she would rattle my rocks.
• Praxilla: Achaikos is missing! That idiot must've taken it with her and run off!
• Kassandra: Achaikos?
• Alkibiades: Achaikos is Praxilla's legendary lyre.
• Praxilla: I set it down after tuning moments before you arrived. I can't go on stage without Achaikos.
• Kassandra: I did see Orchimedes leaving in quite a hurry. You need to get that lyre back.
• Alkibiades: Please, without Praxilla getting everyone's juices flowing, the festival is just a bunch of young men measuring the size of their verse.

(Why is the lyre special?)

• Kassandra: This lyre was special? Can you play another for your recital?
• Praxilla: Perseus without winged sandals or a mirrored shield was just a man. Would he have the same legends, the same mystery, if he performed each task without a legendary weapon?
• Alkibiades: It's very valuable both in significance and in drachmae.

(Who do you think is behind this?)

• Kassandra: Orchimedes and the missing servant both disappeared as the lyre was stolen. They could be working together.
• Alkibiades: And he seemed like such a nice boy.
• Praxilla: Alkibiades invited a viper into my tent.
• Kassandra: Is there somewhere they could have taken it?
• Praxilla: It's a poetry festival. There is no better hub for shady trade.

(Leave - I'll go find the lyre.)

• Kassandra: I'll find the thief and return the lyre.

Outcome

Kassandra recovered Praxilla's lyre from Orchimedes, who revealed himself as Praxilla's son.
