Sacred Favors was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description[edit | edit source]
At the request of Xanthe, the magistrate of Pitana, Kassandra sought out Zeuxo in Geronthai to help with whatever she required.
Dialogue[edit | edit source]
Kassandra arrived at the village and found Zeuxo walking back and forth, looking worried.
- Zeuxo: You wouldn't happen to be the Eagle Bearer, would you?
- Kassandra: Me? Yes I am.
Zeuxo looks at her admiringly.
- Zeuxo: Words do you no justice. Your hair must have been woven by Athena, your body is like a sculpture made by the masters... Your arms look so strong. Strong enough to...
- Kassandra: Strong enough to...?
- Zeuxo: Strong enough to carry this basket to my husband, Kalibos.
- Kassandra: Oh. Right. The magistrate mentioned you.
- Kassandra: I don't have time for that.
- Zeuxo: Please don't forget to bring Kalibos that basket I gave you!
- Zeuxo: Thank you so much. Let me know if you need anything.
(If players choose "Where can I find your husband?")
- Kassandra: Where might I find Kalibos?
- Zeuxo: He's an important general. His unit is stationed in the northeast, near the Fort of Praisai, down by the beach.
(If players choose "What's in the basket?")
- Kassandra: What's in the basket?
- Zeuxo: What any man would need on the eve of battle to win the respect of the gods. Please, Eagle Bearer, it would give him an edge over his enemies.
(Leave - "I'll bring this to your husband.")
- Kassandra: I'll help with your delivery.
Kassandra carried the basket on her shoulders and left the village.
- Kassandra: Ugh, this is heavy. What's in here, bricks?
She ran all the way to the beach some three stadia away, and arrived at a beach camp with a table of food and a fire spit-roasting a pig. She gently put down the basket and talked to the Strategos standing by the biggest tent.
- Kalibos: A misthios? Well met. What brings you to our camp?
- Kassandra: You are Kalibos? Your wife sent me to deliver this package. I think it might be some kind of offering.
- Kalibos: Zeuxo is a good woman. She's gifted me with a basket fit for Dionysos.
- Kassandra: Earthly pleasures? She made it sound like it was a case of life and death.
Kalibos and his troops turn cheerful.
- Kalibos: A deathly hangover, maybe. Boys, we're having a good night! Care to join us, friend?
(If players choose "How can you drink before battle?")
- Kassandra: Are you sure you want your soldiers this intoxicated while in the field?
- Kalibos: I must have misjudged you. Are you not also a Spartan? The only thing we're better at than fighting is drinking.
- Kassandra: I see your point.
- Kassandra: I never say no to good wine and good company.
- Kalibos: I expected no less from you.
- Kassandra: Thank you for offering. I don't like to dull my senses this close to battle. I will stay and keep you and your men company through the night.
- Kalibos: Chaperoned by a messenger of Zeus? This will be interesting.
They spent day and night feasting, and woke up the next day with headaches.
- Spartan Light Soldier: Could someone pass the waterskin?
Kalibos groans.
- Kalibos: Could someone pass my head? I think I left it further down the beach.
(If players chose to feast with them.) Kassandra slurs a bit.
- Kassandra: Surely this is the after effects of the mushrooms. I remember the chicken coop. I remember the farmer's field. I do not remember building a Trojan horse.
Kalibos turns around to also look at the large wooden horse.
- Spartan Light Soldier: Uh, it was just here when I woke up.
- Kalibos: We offer it to the gods for safe passage across the seas! Boys, let's move this down to the beach!
(If players chose to feast and not drink with them.)
- Kassandra: I didn't even drink last night. Why am I seeing a Trojan horse?
Kalibos turns around to also look at the large wooden horse.
- Kalibos: We can offer it to Poseidon Earth-Shaker for safe passage across the sea!
- Kassandra: Careful, this was a trap the last time.
Regardless, they prepare to do so.
- Spartan Brute: I don't trust that horse.
Almost a dozen Athenians broke out of the horse and charged at them.
- Kalibos: By Zeus, I can't believe I fell for that.
- Athenian Heavy Soldier: For Athens!
- Spartan Light Soldier: For Sparta!
- Athenian Archer: I can't believe they fell for that.
They won the battle after killing them all. Kassandra talked to Kalibos for the last time while observing the broken horse.
- Kalibos: I once boasted to a friend that I was a better tactician than Odysseus himself... Today I was proven wrong.
- Kassandra: You live to fight another day. Learn from this.
- Kalibos: Please thank my wife for her festive gift.
- Kassandra: I don't know if I should thank her or curse her.
Outcome[edit | edit source]
Kassandra presumed the help asked by Zeuxo would be something else, but a delivery of liquor to a camp of Spartans, with her husband planning for a feast, has led to a replication of a legendary event the next morning.
