Ambition

Ambition was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Lysander, a Spartan general, had a plan how to win the war. To do this, he tasked Kassandra to weaken the Athenians by killing the polemarchoi of three forts.
==Dialogue==
Kassandra noticed a Spartan commander at the foot of Leonidas' statue atop his tomb, lecturing his soldiers.
*Lysander: We'll not be outmaneuvered by the Athenians the way the Persians did to Leonidas.
Kassandra approached him.
*Lysander: You're not one of my soldiers. You better have a good reason for being here.
<tabber>
|-|I don't need a reason.=
*Kassandra: I don't need a reason, good or otherwise.
Lysander laughed.
*Lysander: Ah. Some bite to you, is there?
*Kassandra: More than some cowering dog.
Lysander guffawed.
|-|We Spartans stick together.=
*Kassandra: We Spartans stand together. So here I am.
Lysander loosened up.
*Lysander: Yes. Spartan blood matters most.
*Kassandra: Looks like this victory will bring you glory.
Lysander stood proudly.
*Lysander: The rewards of skill and effort!
*Kassandra: It's the Spartan way.
</tabber>
Lysander paused briefly then spoke.
*Lysander: From slave to general, bathing in the blood of this war, while our leaders stuff their faces and preen.
*Kassandra: The polemarchs believe it's an easy victory.
*Lysander: I will end this war in my favor.
*Kassandra: You have a strategy?
*Lysander: Athenian polemarchs are paralyzed with indecision. They serve too many masters.
*Kassandra:  Making them slow to react.
*Lysander:  And that's where you come in. Infiltrate their forts and kill their polemarchs. I need the way clear for my troops.
(Accept – I'll kill the polemarchs)
*Kassandra:  I'll do my part. Consider the commanders already dead.
*Lysander:  Bring me their Athenian seals as proof. You'll be rewarded for your efforts.
In time, Kassandra eventually completed the task and returned to Lysander.
*Lysander:  The blood of the enemy will show our leaders that my strategy is the right one.
*Kassandra:  These seals should help convince them.
*Lysander:  You've done well. Our troops are on the move.
*Kassandra:  They underestimate Spartans.
*Lysander:  They consider me much lower than a Spartan.
(Dialogue continues in the next quest.)
==Outcome==
Kassandra helped Lysander collect 3 polemarch seals. In return, she obtained Lysander's own personal belt and another task to retrieve 3 more seals.
