Bleeding Hearts and Stolen Money

Bleeding Hearts and Stolen Money was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
==Description==
Meeting Kyra again, Kassandra had an idea about how to cause more mayhem for Podarkes' forces.
==Dialogue==
Kassandra returned to the Porphyrion Cave to meet with Kyra about their next move. She overheard her speaking to Praxos about Kassandra's previous actions.
*Praxos: Scouts came back from Delos. The misthios likes to set fires.
*Kyra: She just might be the answer to our prayers.
*Praxos: She's only mortal.
*Kyra: From what I've heard, she's much more.
Kassandra spoke to them.
*Kassandra: The Athenians are weak. Now we strike Podarkes where he'll hurt most.
*Kyra: His kidneys?
The two women burst out laughing while Praxos face-palmed and walked off.
<tabber>
|-|Flirt - I'm happy to see you.=
*Kassandra: It's good to see you, Kyra.
*Kyra: Since you came here, I've actually started to believe we can win this rebellion. So... you were saying we strike?
*Kassandra: Guards protect the island's treasury in one location. If we find it and steal it, the soldiers go unpaid, unfed, and unarmed. Podarkes will finally be vulnerable.
|-|Let's discuss our next move.=
*Kassandra: Delos keeps its wealth in one place, under constant guard. We steal it, and the soldiers will go unpaid, unfed, and unarmed. Podarkes will be vulnerable.

*Kyra: Then we can stick our blades in between his ribs... Feed his liver to the dogs.
*Kassandra: Before we start feeding organs to animals, can you get me to the nation's purse?
*Kyra: Our spies have located it in Miltiades Fort. I'll have Praxos gather the troops.
*Kassandra: It's best if it's just the two of us. Easier to sneak in and out undetected.
(Romance conditions met)
*Kyra: You just want me all to yourself, don't you? Let's get going then.
(Romance conditions not met)
*Kyra: Good thinking. Let's move.
The two made their way to the fort on foot.
*Kyra: Victory is close. I can feel it.
*Kassandra: We haven't won yet. The fort will be treacherous, and the gods can be fickle.
*Kyra: It was the gods who sent you to me—I refuse to believe they'd send you here to die. So, what do you think of our islands?
*Kassandra: I think I prefer Mykonos. They really don't like you shedding blood on Delos.
*Kyra: The priests are so terrified of desecrating the sacred grounds of Apollo, women about to give birth are shipped over to Mykonos.
*Kassandra: What happens if they don't make it to shore?
*Kyra: Boat babies.
As they drew near the fort, Ikaros located the nation chest.
*Kassandra: The nation's treasure, ripe for the picking.
Kassandra and Kyra parted at the fort's entrance.
*Kyra: I'll keep an eye out for reinforcements.And don't you die on me!
Kassandra crossed the rubble into the fort and took note of the guards.
*Kassandra: Guards everywhere. I need to be careful.
She commented on the decrepit conditions of the fort.
*Kassandra: This fort has seen better days. They should have spent some of that silver on upkeep.
She eventually made her way the chest and pilfered its contents.
*Kassandra: Done! Kyra's going to want to see this.
:Alternatively, Kassandra realized she had already looted this very chest earlier.
:*Kassandra: I already looted Delos' treasury. Kyra should hear about this.
Kassandra escaped the fort and returned to Kyra, keeping watch from a nearby cliff.
*Kyra: Kassandra, there you are! Good news, I hope?
*Kassandra: When the people of Delos discover Podarkes lost every coin of their nation's treasure, they're going to rip him to pieces!
:(Alternatively)
:*Kassandra: I have a surprise. The treasury was already looted... by me. I'm surprised the soldiers haven't already ripped Podarkes to pieces!
Regardless, Kyra was elated to hear the news.
*Kyra: You've weakened Athens' grip over Delos, exposed Podarkes, and made way for a Spartan alliance. I could kiss you!
<tabber>
|-|Flirt – Why don't you?=
*Kassandra: I don't see anything holding you back.
*Kyra: You breathe life into me. If only you'd arrived on Delos before Thaletas.
|-|Don't kiss me.=
*Kassandra: The job is done. Payment is my reward.
*Kyra: Coins are as cold as death, misthios. They soothe me as well.
</tabber>
*Kassandra: We should probably move. They're going to come looking for us.
*Kyra: I don't think I've ever really said thank you for coming here. You've given us hope.
*Kyra: I'll go back to the hideout. But if you keep this up, Podarkes is as good as dead. I may finally know peace.
==Outcome==
Kassandra looted the Silver Islands' treasury, leaving Podarkes' men without pay. Adding this to their previous loss of weapons and provisions greatly weakened Podarkes' position.
