Vienna | Vienna wakes up after three [[month]]s of training [[simulation]]s at the [[Assassin Academy]], including her missions to [[assassination|assassinate]] [[Jamela K'lynn]], the [[Kreyfin]] and [[Percival Kendrick]], and is given a score of only 43%. She and fellow assassin [[Canton Malrick|Malrick]], who scored 98%, listen to [[Felman Shazarel]]'s speech about the imminent [[Tournament of Death]] in which the various assembled assassins will fight to the [[death]] and are flown away in a [[hovership]]. On the journey, Vienna tells Malrick that she believes that the training simulations were based on her [[memory|memories]] as she can remember what happened following the last simulation. She learnt from her ship upon leaving Percival and [[Kendra Spendlove]] on [[Miradox]] that she had wiped her memories of [[Crevo Finn]] after uploading them to her ship's [[storage drive]] to make her more efficient and had them restored, allowing her to remember how Crevo broke in and attacked her parents when she was a child on [[Mercator (Deathworld)|Mercator]]. Whilst her father was killed, her mother was left in a [[coma]] and Vienna has been paying for her care on [[Miracle 3]]. | ||
Vienna's reminiscing is interrupted by Malrick, who informs her of their arrival. Vienna and Malrick agree to a temporary team-up until the end. Malrick agrees just so that he can hear the rest of her story. A man by the name of [[Galaron Darvil]] overhears them and takes the matter personally. Vienna warns him that when the door opens, he better begin running. The Tournament officially begins. Vienna notes the numerous terrains crammed into one area. Within minutes, Darvil makes his first kill. Vienna and Malrick go off to find higher ground. | Vienna's reminiscing is interrupted by Malrick, who informs her of their arrival.
