- Kassandra: I should be the least of your concerns. I'll find this Doctor and bring her back.
- Magistrate: You better.

Mysterious Malady was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Kassandra travelled to Potidaia to investigate a sickness plaguing the village.
Dialogue
As Kassandra approached the village, she heard the villagers complaining about a Doctor.
- Civilian: Where is the Doctor? I need more of her medicine. I don't feel any better...
- Magistrate: Where is that useless Doctor?! When I get my hands on her....
She got closer to a small cliff overlooking the village and talked to the magistrate.
- Magistrate: Unless you're here to fix my problem, I'm not interested. Oh. The eagle-bearing misthios.
- Natakas: Ah, Kassandra. You've arrived. This is the -.
- Magistrate: Great, another joins the fray. If you people have no important business here, I suggest we break up this party.
A civilian down below started coughing and the Magistrate signaled one of his men to turn the civilian around, so that they could face each other.
- Civilian: Please! I'm healthy (cough), I promise!.
The Magistrate waved his hand and the civilian was led somewhere else by the Magistrate's guard. He then turned and faced Kassandra and Natakas again.
{If the player chose "Where are they taking that man?" - optional)
- Kassandra: That man's afraid. Where are you taking him?.
- Magistrate: It's not your business, misthios.
Any sign of sickness has to be culled. Whatever it takes.
{If the player chose "Tell me what's going on."}
- Kassandra: You must be the Magistrate in charge of Potidaia.
Tell me about this illness. - Magistrate: Looks like word of us is spreading... just like this foul plague! All these idiots are falling ill quicker that we can find a cure.
- Natakas: I heard that there is a doctor in this village. We're looking for her.
- Magistrate: Aren't we all? That malakas went off to find ingredients. I even sent men to bring her back!
If you have so much time to stand around and chat, why don't you help? - Kassandra: I'll find this Doctor.
- Magistrate: Good. You do that. She's never around when you need her! If you can't find her, don't bother coming back.
If you catch whatever is going around, I might need to make space in the carts for an extra body.
- Kassandra: Keep it up and you'll have to make space on the cart for someone your size.
- Magistrate: Don't threaten me, misthios. You don't know who you're dealing with.
- Kassandra: You must have some idea about where the Doctor might be.
- Magistrate: That malakas left towards the forest, blabbering about ingredients.
Kassandra and Natakas shared a look.
- Kassandra: A plague, a burned village... This is no accident.
- Magistrate: Of course it's no accident. We've been cursed!
- Natakas: I'll take a look around. Let's meet back here after you're done.
{If the player chose "Where is the Doctor?" - optional}
- Kassandra: There are a lot of forests in Makedonia. Where exactly can I find the Doctor?
- Magistrate: Somewhere east of Potidaia, following along the coastline. I sent some men after her, but they haven't returned.
{If the player chose "What else do you know about the sickness?" - optional}
- Kassandra: You're the man in charge. You must have some idea of what's going on with this sickness.
- Magistrate: I only know it started around the time that village burned.
She looked at him suspiciously.
- Kassandra: You look like you know something about the fires there.
- Magistrate: I don't know anything. I want nothing to do with it.
{If the player chose "I'll be going now."}
- Kassandra: I'll see to your Doctor now.
- Magistrate: Make it quick, misthios.
Kassandra began her search for the Doctor. Ikaros spotted her and the Magistrate's men on a beach near the Underwater Cavern. The woman, seemingly unconscious, was surrounded by the soldiers, who were unsure of how to proceed.
- Greek Soldier: I only hit her once!.
- Greek Soldier: What should we do with her?
- Greek Soldier: I knew she was up to something.
- Greek Soldier: Should we bring her back to the Magistrate?
Kassandra attacked the soldiers, eliminating them, and went closer to the Doctor, now awake.
- Timosa: Thank you. Those men were - oh!.
She inspects Kassandra.
- Timosa: You're the Eagle Bearer.
- Kassandra: You must be the Doctor from Potidaia. The Magistrate's looking for you.
- Timosa: Of course he is. I knew something was amiss when his guards appeared out of nowhere and attacked me.
- Kassandra: He seems to take... extreme measures.
- Timosa: That's true, and although I understand his concern for the village, it shouldn't be at the cost of innocent lives.
- Kassandra: The magistrate is doing what he has to for the village.
- Timosa: But I can't condone his actions, especially when innocent lives are at stake.
- Kassandra: Let's get back to Potidaia.
- Timosa: Not yet, misthios. My ingredients were stolen by bandits. I need the ingredients to save the village!
- Kassandra: Innocent lives are on the line. I'll get your ingredients.
- Timosa: As expected - you're as kind as you look. I'm grateful for your help, misthios.
- Kassandra: I'm willing to swim - for drachmae.
- Timosa: As expected of a resourceful misthios. I'll have your drachmae waiting, you have my word.
{If the player chose "How will you stop the plague?" - optional}
- Kassandra: You must have a plan to save the villagers.
- Timosa: This illness... It's slow and suffocating. But my medicine is the key. The village is counting on me. And now they're counting on you.
{If the player chose "I'll go get the ingredients."}
- Kassandra: I'll get the ingredients.
- Timosa: And I'll run back to the village and get a head start on a new batch of medicine.
- Kassandra: See you in Potidaia.
As the Doctor was leaving, Kassandra went into the water and swam towards her ship in order to retrieve the stolen ingredients from the bandits' ships that sailed nearby. Once the ships were destroyed, she sailed back to the port of Potidaia.
- Kassandra: Hmm... There's a letter with the medicine. Looks like these bandits were hired by someone.
- Keep a close eye on these supplies. Our deal is to bring her the Eagle Bearer's head. She will pay us in full when the job is done.
Outcome
Kassandra and Natakas investigated the illness that plagued Potidaia and received a clue to the location of the Huntsman.
