The Hunt for Honor was a virtual representation of one of Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.

Description

Eivor met a man searching for a way to gain honor.

Dialogue

Eivor approached a small tent with an occupant by the coast.

• Erlend: This quest will put me in the ground.
  I am lost and honor-bound.
  Where is honor to be found?

Eivor approached the man.

• Erlend: You arrived without a sound!
• Eivor: Are you a skald? I have never heard poetry shouted in this way.
• Erlend: A skald? O, no, not at all. I am truly looking for honor, and have become lost as a result.
• Eivor: You are looking for honor here? It is a bit remote.
• Erlend: I am the seventh son of a seventh son. I am expected to bring great honor to my family, but everything has been done!
• Erlend: My uncles and brothers have all had great victories or even greater deaths! There is nothing left for me to do! The gods have been deaf to my pleas, but you are here.
• Eivor: So, you want a great victory from me... or a great death?
• Erlend: No! I want to live! And I could not possibly hope to win against you.
• Eivor: That is true.
• Erlend: But maybe you could lead me to a victory?
• Eivor: I can tell by looking at you, you are not a great warrior. You know it too, there is no reason to deny this. I could bring you a chance at honor... an animal of some kind. Something you could handle.
• Erlend: Yes, yes! That could work! I could add a few details, nothing too exaggerated. Skalds do it all the time.
• Eivor: So, now you are a skald?
  Do not go anywhere. I will only do this once.
• Erlend: I will be here. On my honor.
  Make sure to bring me a beast!

Eivor left the camp and lured a wolf towards the camp.

• Eivor: Now, win your honor!
• Erlend: They are much bigger up close! I do not think I can do this! I DO NOT THINK I CAN DO THIS!
• Eivor: Come, Erlend! Honor calls!"'

Erlend drew out his sword and attacked the beast.

• Erlend: Waaaa!

Erlend winsErlend loses and dies

Erlend killed the beast.

• Erlend: I did it! What an incredible fight!
• Eivor: You got a few stabs in.
  How was your... first kill?
• Erlend: Gods! I have never felt so alive! My hugr (mind) soars on ravens' wings!
• Eivor: With this rebirth comes a new name. From this day, you will be called... Erlend Wolf-Whip, Killer of Curs.
• Erlend: It suits me! You know, now that I think about it, I think my story should be told in verse. Farewell, Beast-Baiter!

Erlend fought against the beast but eventually lost and died.

• Eivor: Not great, as far as deaths go, but neither was he.

Outcome

Eivor lured a predator to Erlend and helped him slay them.
