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

Description

At Magistrate Xanthe's request, Kassandra ventured to a farm in the fertile valley of Lakonia to investigate the blight.

Dialogue

Kassandra arrived at the Amyklai Farm and talked to Lanike, a finely dressed old woman standing by the cabin and well.

• Kassandra: Magistrate Xanthe told me that you've been having trouble with your farm.
• Lanike: Crop failure. It's as if Eris herself salted the earth.
• Kassandra: How are the crops failing?
• Lanike: Blight! Few plants grow, and the ones that do are wilted and covered in spots. The gods would never let this happen if they were happy. It's my godless helots, I tell you. You're a messenger of Zeus, you show them the light.

I'll talk to your helots.Maybe another time.

• Kassandra: I'll find out what's happening.

• Kassandra: I don't have time right now.

Kassandra returns.

• Lanike: Magistrate Xanthe said you would examine my fields and see why the gods have cursed me so.

(Back to dialogue choice one.)

• Kassandra: I'll find out what's happening.
• Lanike: Oh, thank Zeus. My helots, Teuta and Maron... They work the fields, but they do not respect the gods. Teach them.

(If players choose "What's wrong with the crops?")

• Kassandra: I haven't seen other farms in the area with blighted crops. What could be causing the difference?
• Lanike: The grain grew in short and dry, then the animals started to grow ill. Obvious signs of displeasing Persephone or her mother. Maron claims the animals have been poisoned, but I have no enemies to speak of.

(If players choose "Why do you suspect the helots?")

• Kassandra: What makes you blame your helots for the blight? Have they tampered with the plants and animals?
• Lanike: They do not worship as you and I do. I thank Demeter for all she gives us at the end of each day. But they just reap the bounty of her hard work!

Kassandra seems unsure.

• Kassandra: So, it's divine intervention?

Lanike scoffs.

• Lanike: What else dictates our fates? Teuta won't stop babbling about the soil. Thinks I overwork my farm. Idiot woman. As if this farm hasn't been in my family for generations.

(Leave - "I'll check in with your helots.")

• Kassandra: I'll go talk to your helots and see what they know.
