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 | 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%.

Whilst her father was killed, her mother was left in a [[coma]] and Vienna has been paying for her care on [[Miracle 3]]. | ||
Vienna | Vienna forms an [[alliance]] with Malrick and they head to high ground to set up a base, sneaking up on the attacking [[Galaron Darvil]] on the way and causing him to accidentally swallow one of his own [[poison dart]]s. She tells Malrick how she broke into the [[Magisterial Palace]] on [[Kazbar]] and threatened a [[defence robot]] with mind-erasure to get it to take her to Crevo, who claimed that he did not know who she was and that he would have been too young thirty years ago to have attacked her parents. When he claimed to have proof of his innocence, she saved him from people attacking the palace so that she could kill him herself at a later date and they fled from the defence robots, whose [[loyalty circuit]]s had been reprogrammed, in a [[hover skimmer]]. She then performed a [[memory scan]] on Crevo, but he was shot and killed when the scan was only 85% complete. | ||
Back at the Tournament, the issue of food is brought up. As neither of them wishes to hunt, Vienna states that the next best option is to explore the cave. Deep in the cave, they find bones of a half-eaten carcass. The predator isn't far away either. Vienna manages to kill the creature with a falling icicle. With four contestants remaining, Vienna and Malrick are eating the food. Vienna remembers uploading the memory of Finn to her computer, which tells her that there is no memory of visiting her house during her childhood. However, the computer also points out that not only is the memory scan incomplete, but also the use of a [[memory box]] is equally as plausible. Vienna is stunned to hear that there is a complete memory available for the night of the murder of her father, thus giving Finn an alibi, meaning that either Finn's memory has been tampered with, Vienna's memory has been tampered with or that there are two Crevo Finns. | Back at the Tournament, the issue of food is brought up.
