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

Description

Thespis tasked Kassandra with finding the actor who was to play the role of Xerxes I in his latest play.

Dialogue

Kassandra found the actor and untied him.

• "Xerxes": Thank the gods!
• Kassandra: Don't thank them yet. Let's get out of here.

She escorted the actor away from the ruins.

• "Xerxes": Thank you! I don't think I could have survived much longer.
• Kassandra: Why were those malákas keeping you prisoner?
• "Xerxes": They were raving, convinced I'm the villains I play. They wanted me to lead them in a dark ceremony and tortured me to recite their spells... Nothing was enough.
• Kassandra: You're safe now.
• "Xerxes": I am, but the witch has plans to harm the citizens of Elis. She says they wronged her, so she poisoned a shipment of supplies for the city!
• Kassandra: I'll have to destroy those supplies before they get there.
• "Xerxes": But now that she knows you're here, she'll leave her hiding place and flee into the wilderness! No one will be safe if she escapes.

I'll destroy the Poisoned supplies.I'll kill the witch before she escapes.

Kassandra destroyed the supplies.

• Kassandra: I destroyed the poisoned supplies before they could reach Elis.
• "Xerxes": That's good, but the witch is still out there. Nobody really safe... I'm not safe.
• Kassandra: You think Xerxes was ever safe? Leonidas and his Spartans wanted him dead. His own mother would betray him given the chance.
• "Xerxes": Xerxes asking for safety... You're right, the King of Persia would never grovel. He'd crush his enemies before they could execute their plans.
• Kassandra: I'm glad you see it that way. You should get back to Thespis.
• "Xerxes": I will, and thank you. Xerxes will rule at last!
• Kassandra: Happy to have helped, your majesty.

• Kassandra: I can't let that witch escape. Who knows what she'll do next?

Kassandra headed back into the ruins, where she engaged the witch in combat.

• Witch: I'll drink your blood from your scull! You'll be gone to Hades soon!

Despite her boasting, the witch proved no match for Kassandra and was killed.

• Kassandra: That witch is dead, thank Zeus.

With the witch taken care of, Kassandra returned to "Xerxes".

• Kassandra: That horrible witch won't hurt anyone ever again.
• "Xerxes": Oh, thank you! That delusional hag turned her followers against me. But now that she's dead, I should be fine. Right?
• Kassandra: You'll be fine. You should go on and play your part knowing Xerxes is safe.
• "Xerxes": You're right, Xerxes was sure of himself. A god among men! I should be as confident as him.
• Kassandra: I'm glad you see it that way. You should get back to Thespis.
• "Xerxes": I will, and thank you. Xerxes will rule at last!
• Kassandra: Happy to have helped, your majesty.

Outcome

Kassandra secured Xerxes for the play, while also stopping a threat to the city.
