	Following this event, Layla's relationship with the other members of her team became strained, and she was reassigned to an Assassin cell with [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]]. In 2020, the cell, together with Layla's former teammate [[Kiyoshi Takakura]], performed a mission in [[Tokyo]], infiltrating an Abstergo facility to extract an Assassin mole, Dr. [[Kazui]], and destroy samples of his DNA collected by the Templars. The mission was a success and Layla was able to part ways with Kiyoshi on good terms after saving him from the [[Master Templar]] [[Juhani Otso Berg]].

	Months later, Layla's cell received a strange message that promised a solution to a series of anomalies affecting the [[Earth]], leading them to the grave of the [[Vikings\|Viking]] [[shieldmaiden]] [[Eivor Varinsdottir]] in {{Wiki\|New England}}. Using the [[Animus]], Layla relived Eivor's memories, which led her to the [[Yggdrasil\|Yggdrasil Chamber]] in the former county of [[Hordaland]], [[Norway]].

With the Staff of Hermes protecting her from the lethal radiation emitted by Yggdrasil, Layla used the supercomputer to upload her consciousness into [[the Grey]], a digital realm created by the Isu.

	There, she met [[Basim Ibn Ishaq]], whose consciousness had been trapped in the Grey for centuries. Working together, the two managed to end the anomalies and save the Earth, though Basim betrayed Layla and escaped from the Yggdrasil Chamber with the Staff of Hermes, leaving Layla behind to die. Making the ultimate sacrifice, Layla decided to remain in the Grey alongside an entity known as "[[Desmond Miles\|The Reader]]", helping him run countless [[calculations]] to find ways of preventing future disasters.

	At some point, Layla met [[Deanna Geary]], a member of Abstergo's Medical Team, and the two became best friends.

	Layla's refusal to check in with Abstergo led to the company deploying [[Sigma Team]] to find her and Deanna. Layla was swiftly woken up by Deanna during her Animus session.

	Through a transceiver from one of the deceased operatives, Layla helplessly listened in on Sigma Team as they stormed Deanna's hotel room and shot her to death.

	Following this event, Layla's relationship with the other members of her team became strained, and she was reassigned to an Assassin cell with [[Shaun Hastings]] and [[Rebecca Crane]]. In 2020, the cell, together with Layla's former teammate [[Kiyoshi Takakura]], performed a mission in [[Tokyo]], infiltrating an Abstergo facility to extract an Assassin mole, Dr. [[Kazui]], and destroy samples of his DNA collected by the Templars. The mission was a success and Layla was able to part ways with Kiyoshi on good terms after saving him from the [[Master Templar]] [[Juhani Otso Berg]].
