The Cost of War
The Cost of War was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
After collecting three polemarch seals, Kassandra returned to Lysander in Sparta.
Dialogue
(Dialogue continues from Rise Through the Ranks)
- Kassandra: I'll kill the fort commanders if it's what must be done.
Lysander growls disappointingly.
- Lysander: We've lost ground.
- Kassandra: You'll gain it back.
- Lysander: I'm the only one of our generals who can. The wealthy don't understand the ugly things desperation makes people do.
- Kassandra: I'll take care of the fort commanders. That should help you regain a foothold.
- Lysander: Go! Don't return until they've been disposed of.
- Kassandra: Understood.
Kassandra approached Lysander.
- Kassandra: I have more of the enemy seals.
- Lysander: Good enough.
- Kassandra: Better than that.
- Lysander: None of our own generals could win this without me.
- Kassandra: Fine. I'll kill more for you.
- Lysander: My soldiers think me bloodthirsty. I know the cost of war. Neither side will be clean of it.
- Kassandra: Your plan is working.
- Lysander: And the Athenian think me battle shy!
- Kassandra: That makes you happy?
- Lysander: I held my army back, so they dropped their guard. And then we ran them aground.
(If players choose "How does the war?")
- Kassandra: So I take it the war is going well for you, then?
- Lysander: Enough questions.
(If players choose "What will you do if you win?")
- Kassandra: What will you do if you win?
- Lysander: Enough talk.
(If players choose "OK. No more questions.")
- Kassandra: Fine. I won't ask any more questions.
- Lysander: Tell me then, Eagle Bearer, you must be pleased with our progress.
- Kassandra: As you said, tactics will win this.
- Lysander: When this is over, I'll try my hand at politics.
- Kassandra: I'm sure it'll suit you.
- Lysander: Go then, kill the enemy command. This is our war to win.
- Kassandra: I'll do it, General.
Outcome
Kassandra helped Lysander eliminate three Athenian polemarchs and recover their seals. She was again tasked to retrieve more.
