The Doctor Will See You Now

The Doctor Will See You Now was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan in 2018 through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Kassandra agreed to help the physician Hippokrates recover his notes needed to save a patient in critical condition.
==Dialogue==
Kassandra approached Fort Tiryns in order to recover Hippokrates' notes.
*Kassandra: The mighty Tiryns. Built by the cyclopes, or so the legend goes.
With the help of Ikaros, she scouted the fort for the clinic, where the notes were stored.
*Kassandra: Hippokrates' notes are well guarded. Why?
She snuck her way into the fort, finding a physician inside tending to another.
*Dymas: What are you doing here?
*Kassandra: Hippokrates sent me. Your commander stole his notes, and I think you have them.
Kassandra unsheated her spear.
*Dymas: The ones written by the great Hippokrates himself? I'm sorry. They were burned in the last attack.
*Kassandra: What?
*Dymas: You heard me. The medical tent was burned. At least I memorized the notes before we lost them. I'll transcribe them when I have time — or when the war subsides.
*Kassandra: Then you'll have to come with me. A patient Hippokrates is treating will die without your help.
*Dymas: I have a patient right here who needs my help.
*Kassandra: Can't someone else take care of this one?
*Dymas: I'm the only doctor here. Now let me work.

|-|I'll wait.=
*Kassandra: I'll wait here for you to finish. If I leave, what's stopping you from running away?
*Dymas: Thinking like a mercenary. Guess I shouldn't be surprised.
*Dymas: Then make yourself useful and bring me my bone forceps. Some idiot or another is always borrowing them.
*Kassandra: Then you'll come treat Hippokrates's patient?
*Dymas: You have my word.
|-|🖝 You're coming with me right now.=
*Kassandra: There isn't enough time. I need you at Hippokrates' camp, now.
Kassandra knocked Dymas unconscious and carried him out of the fort. On the way back, Kassandra rationalized her choice.
*Kassandra: Maybe the punch was a bit hasty, but I couldn't wait forever. Neither could Hippokrates.
|-|I could pay you.=
*Kassandra: You must work for drachmae just like everyone else. Whatever the commander is paying you, I'll pay you more. Then we leave.
*Dymas: And let this person die? I could be convinced, on two conditions.
*Kassandra: Out with it.
*Dymas: I'll take double — a life's worth a lot. And for the sake of the gods, don't tell Hippokrates.

|-|Helped Hippokrates first=
*Kassandra: I'll go see the priests for more information about my mother.
*Hippokrates: Come with me. You've had a busy day.
Hippokrates took Kassandra aside to talk to her in private, tossing her an apple.
*Hippokrates: The importance of diet to maintaining one's health cannot be overstated.
*Kassandra: What good can one apple really do?
*Hippokrates: Well, taken daily, they can keep the doctor away.
*Hippokrates: But... to more serious matters. I know why you're here. You're looking for your mother.
*Kassandra: You remember her?
*Hippokrates: I was young then—I didn't know how to help. I turned her away. But her look of determination and despair was burned into my mind. It has never left me and it never will. After, I swore to Apollo that I wouldn't turn away another patient—that I'd dedicate my life to the cause. She made an impression on me, your brave mother did.
*Kassandra: She would be happy to know that.
*Hippokrates: I sent your mother to the Sanctuary of Asklepios. Tell the elder priest a treatment for the will soon be available to any patient who needs it. Then he may talk to you.
*Kassandra: Thank you for everything, Hippokrates. I'll go see him now.
|-|Met the priests of Asklepios first=
*Kassandra: Hippokrates, I'm sorry the patient died. But I still need to know what happened to my mother.
*Hippokrates: Come with me. We should talk.
Hippokrates took Kassandra aside to talk to her in private, tossing her an apple.
*Hippokrates: The importance of diet to maintaining one's health cannot be overstated.
*Kassandra: What good can one apple really do?
*Hippokrates: Well, taken daily, they can keep the doctor away.
*Hippokrates: But... to more serious matters. I know why you're here. You're looking for your mother.
*Kassandra: You remember her?
*Hippokrates: I was young then—I didn't know how to help. I turned her away. But her look of determination and despair was burned into my mind. It has never left me and it never will. After, I swore to Apollo that I wouldn't turn away another patient—that I'd dedicate my life to the cause. She made an impression on me, your brave mother did.
*Kassandra: She would be happy to know that.
*Hippokrates: I know something that may help you find her. I swore I would never tell anyone about Dolops and his past, but I owe this to your mother.
*Kassandra: Who's Dolops?
*Hippokrates: He was a priest who dedicated his life to helping orphans. It's possible he remembers that night, long ago. Maybe he would know something about your mother and her child.
*Kassandra: I'll go see this man. Thank you, Hippokrates.

==Outcome==
Kassandra brought Dymas to reconstitute Hippokrates' notes, and in turn the doctor pointed her in the direction of one who could help her find her mother.
==Trivia==
*There are four ways to get Dymas to help Hippokrates:
**The first is to help him with his surgery first. Hippokrates' patient will die from the delay, and Dymas will apologize for causing the delay. Hippokrates responds that "Sometimes science requires tough decisions." This is the only method that will remove the Bone Forceps quest item, as that item will persist in either the chest or in the player's inventory.
**The second is to bribe Dymas. This requires 10,000 drachmae and leaves Dymas' patient to die, which Dymas simply does not mention to Hippokrates. The player has the option of encouraging this ruse or dressing down his monetary demand in front of Hippokrates. Regardless, Dymas is able to save Hippokrates' patient.
**The third is to threaten Dymas and knock him out cold. This avoids the payment but adds the burden of having to carry the unconscious Dymas out of Fort Tiryns and back to Hippokrates. He later tells Hippokrates what the player did, to which Hippokrates replies that Dymas' patient did not deserve their fate.
**The fourth is to execute the patient. This has the same outcome as the third, as Dymas yells for help and is knocked out. He later tells Hippokrates that the player murdered his patient. Hippokrates is shocked, replies that "We should not decide who lives and who dies", and apologizes to Dymas.
*If the quest is completed after Speak No Evil, the delay causes Hippokrates' patient to die no matter what. The blame is placed wholly on Kassandra as she takes full responsibility, although if Dymas is bribed, she can mention that it cost her a fortune to get Dymas to leave the fort.
*Completing this quest before Speak No Evil results in Hippokrates telling the player to go to the Sanctuary of Asklepios and tell an elder priest that a cure for the Sacred Disease will soon be ready, implying that this will get them to talk. Unfortunately, no such option actually exists in the game and the player must complete, at the very least, A Heart for a Head and Speak No Evil, as though they had gone to the Sanctuary first. However, instead of rubbing their necks indecisively, Mydon and his servant will tell Kassandra about the Altar of Apollo Maleatas.
*Completing this quest after Speak No Evil is the only way to get A Herald of Murder to become available. Hippokrates will not mention Dolops at all if Mydon has not been spoken to.
*In most of the dialogues, Hippokrates is well aware of who Dymas is, however he will ask who he is when bringing him unwillingly and prior to Speak No Evil.
*The notes referenced throughout the quest are what would become a piece known as , one of the first recorded observations of epilepsy, the Sacred Disease, in humans.
