A Life's Dedication was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Kassandra met an adventurer in Boeotia who possessed a tablet dating from the Mycenaean period.
While in Boeotia, Kassandra came across pack of wolves attacking a man. After eliminating the beasts, she approached the individual.
Kassandra turned around and prepared to leave.

Kassandra, hearing what Eppie had said, turned around.
(Accept – I'll come with you.)

Kassandra followed Eppie as they made their way to the Cave of the Oracle.

Kassandra and Eppie reached and entered the cave, coming upon a number of individuals worshipping inside.
Before leaving, Kassandra spoke to Eppie once more.
Kassandra dwelled further inside and went under a small opening to a hidden cavern.
Kassandra went further in, coming up across a locked door.

Kassandra took out the stele and put it near a circular lock, emitting a glow. This unlocked the door to a secret chamber.
Kassandra entered the chamber, exploring the contents within.
Afterwards, she reached a room with a hole beneath and jumped down.
She came a cross a small statue on the ground near a pillar.
She investigated a series of markings on a wall.
She investigated a chest and looted it, recovering a pair of boots.
Kassandra exited the chamber, returning to Eppie in the cave.
(Accept – I'll look for the others.)
Eppie and Kassandra entered the chamber, approaching the wall with writings.
