Red in the Wreckage 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
On Keos, Kassandra was told by two civilians about a shipment of miltos which had gone missing.
Dialogue
While in Keos, Kassandra overheard two men talking near the port.
- Civilian 1: Can you fucking believe it?
- Civilian 2: Thought she'd know better by now.
- Civilian 1: Well, you know why. Shame though, all that cargo out there on the ocean...
- Civilian 2: More like under, knowing Gotarzes!
The two men laughed. Intrigued, Kassandra approached the men.
- Civilian 1: I mean how hard is it to take a merchant ship and get to Thera and back?!
- Civilian 2: Still, Xenia could've used that miltos. The drachmae would have been helpful in her fight against...
The men noticed Kassandra and shut up.
- Civilian 1: Something we can help you with?
- Kassandra: Yeah, you were talking about a shipment.
- Civilian 2: We weren't saying nothing... Nothing that concerns you, anyway.
- Kassandra: You were, and I want to know more.
- Civilian 1: Yeah, don't really care what you want.
- Kassandra: You'd better tell me about that miltos shipment.
- Civilian 1: Don't have to tell you shit.
- Civilian 2: Don't even try it. We're under Xenia's protection here, like everyone else.
- Civilian 1: Go on, get out of here.
- Civilian 2: Told you, nothing more to say.
- Civilian 1: You want that shipment? Lot of water between here and Thera, better get to it.
- Kassandra: If it's worth money, I'll find it. They said the ship was on its way to Thera.
- Kassandra: Apologies, I... I've been at sea, and my curiosity got the better of me.
- Civilian 1: Huh, no worry about manners here. Cause trouble, though, and you'll answer to Xenia.
- Civilian 2: Yeah, we've both been to sea. Boring as fuck, and no one minded their manners on any of the vessels I sailed.
- Kassandra: I'd like to find this ship.
- Civilian 2: Well, I'll help you if you can. Then you can bring us a story.
- Kassandra: What's miltos, anyway?
- Civilian 1: Miltos, the next best thing to gold.
- Civilian 2: Fucking Athenians want it all for themselves, self-important malákas.
- Kassandra: Do you know where I can find the ship?
- Civilian 1: Could be anywhere, knowing Gotarzes!
- Civilian 2: I heard the plan was to intercept the shipment near Lestris island, due south of Keos.
- Kassandra: Who's this captain you keep mentioning?
- Civilian 1: Gotarzes, be thankful you don't know.
- Civilian 2: The Parthenon's got more chance of staying afloat than him!
- Kassandra: Thank you.
- Civilian 1: If you find that miltos, be sure to come back and share the wealth!
- Kassandra: Of course, my friends!
- Kassandra: Malákes.
- Kassandra: If I can find this shipment of miltos... It's easy money.
- Kassandra: There's a shipwreck, and there's the miltos.
- Kassandra: Sounds like a tale for another day. I'll be seeing you.
- Civilian 2: Not if we see you first!
- Civilian 1: Ha, good one!
- Civilian 2: You again. Thought you'd be sick of ports, or are you looking for work?
- Kassandra: Just wanted to ask about that shipment.
- Civilian 2: Oh yeah?
- Kassandra: I'm always open to a good tale, especially if it ends in misfortune.
- Civilian 1: Ha, the ones with Gotarzes always do. He's the worst captain on Keos!
- Kassandra: I'd like to find this ship.
- Civilian 2: Well, I'll help you if you can. Then you can bring us a story.
- Kassandra: What's miltos, anyway?
- Civilian 1: Miltos, the next best thing to gold.
- Civilian 2: Fucking Athenians want it all for themselves, self-important malákas.

Outcome
Kassandra found and recovered the shipment of miltos.
Behind the scenes
Scanning the pair with Ikaros reveals the labels of the bigger civilian as "Brute" and his partner as "Wharf Rat".
The Brute incorrectly uses the singular malákas when referring to a group of Athenians instead the plural conjugation of malákes.
