| *'''Kassandra:''' ''I suppose she will.'' | | *'''Kassandra:''' ''I suppose she will.'' |
| Layla Hassan, who was relieving Kassandra's memories, reported her findings to her team.
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''[[Altaïr II]], come in.''
| |
| *'''[[Kiyoshi Takakura]]:''' ''Altaïr II here.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''The next stop is the Tomb of Orion. I'll show you how to get there when I get back.''
| |
| The Altaïr II brought Layla to Orion's tomb in Boeotia.
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Altaïr II, can you read me?''
| |
| *'''Kiyoshi Takakura:''' ''We hear you. Layla, there's something that you need to know - the interference in the comms is coming from an outside source. If I didn't know any better, I'd say someone was listening in.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''It must be related to the Staff.''
| |
| *'''[[Alannah Ryan]]:''' ''That's just it. I recognize the interference pattern. It isn't [[Isu]]. It almost reminds me of an [[Erudito]] hacking algorithm.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''I'd recognize a hack if I saw one. Besides, once I find the third symbol, it won't matter. If only I knew which order they go in.''
| |
| *'''Alannah Ryan:''' ''Hmm. You could try randomly guessing. There's not that many combinations.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''There's no guarantee I get two chances opening the Seal. After this, we're going back to [[Atlantis]], and I'll figure something out.''
| |
| Layla explored the tomb, entering a chamber.
| |
| *'''Aletheia:''' ''We are approaching the final symbol. If the Keeper doesn't know the order of the symbols, her [[Alexios|brother]] will.''
| |
| She found a hole in the ceiling.
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''A hole in the ceiling... But how do I get up there?''
| |
| Layla looked for a shelf and shifted it near the ceiling. She climbed up the shelf and the ceiling, finding the symbol on a wall.
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''The final symbol. Another part of a constellation. They must fit together. Altaïr II, can you read me?<br />OK, Lyala, think this through. Outside the [[Tomb of Eteokles|Tomb]] of [[Eteokles]], Aletheia said Deimos would show me what the Keeper can't. [[Phidias]] had answers [[Theras]] didn't and killed for it...''
| |
| *'''Aletheia:''' ''The Heir is wise.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Altaïr II, come in please.''
| |
| *'''Alannah Ryan:''' ''Layla, that you?''
| |
| *'''Dr. [[Victoria Bibeau]]:''' ''Did you find the symbol?''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Three for three. We need to head back to Atlantis. In the meantime, let's run the symbols I've found against known constellations. Consider the research a Plan B.''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''What's Plan A?''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Kassandra knew where the symbols were, but not the order they go in. Aletheia thinks Deimos may hold that secret. We have his DNA...''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''What? Layla, are you crazy?''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''I'm not crazy. I'm commited, and you should be too. When I get back to Atlantis, I'm getting this done whether you're on my side or not.''
| |
| Layla returned to the Altaïr II, and then to Atlantis. There, she relived the memories of Deimos, who had encountered Phidias before. In Phidias' [[Phidias' Workshop|workshop]], he was looking through his scrolls. Deimos arrived shortly afterwards to punched the back of Phidias' head. Phidias head bounced off a block of marble, causing him to bleed. Phidas attempted to crawl for his life, while Deimos tooked a knife off the marble.
| |
| *'''Phidias:''' ''Are you... Brison?''

| (If players choose this option, they would be brought back to the dialogue choices again, making it a necessity to choose one of the other three options.)
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this.''
| |
|
| |
| |-|I'm Deimos.=
| |
| *'''Deimos:''' ''The name is Deimos.''
| |
| *'''Phidias:''' ''No... I heard you're not real. You're not real.''
| |
| *'''Deimos:''' ''I'm real. Here, let me show you.''
| |
|
| |
| |-|This is going to hurt.=
| |
|
| |
| |-|Tell me how you found these symbols.=
| |

| |
|
| |
| Deimos punched Phidias, throwing him onto a slab of marble.
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''Layla! Your heart rate's accelerated, and your body temp is almost ninety-eight degrees. What's happening?''
| |
| Deimos stabbed the knife into Phidias' left hand and took it out, causing Phidias to scream in pain.
| |
| *'''Phidias:''' ''Itira! Korgath! Metin! That's all I know. You have to believe me.''
| |
|
| |
| <tabber>
| |
| |-|Please stop this.=
| |
| (If players choose this option, they would be brought back to the dialogue choices again, making it a necessity to choose one of the other three options.)
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''I can't... I don't want to do this.''
| |
|
| |
| |-|Time to break your other hand.=
| |
|
| |
| |-|Talk sense, and I'll spare you.=
| |
| *'''Deimos:''' ''I'm not here to hurt you, Phidias. We're friends. I just want to know where these symbols come from. You would tell your friend, wouldn't you?''
| |
| *'''Phidias:''' ''It... Itira. Ko...''
| |
| *'''Deimos:''' ''Korgath! Metin! Are you trying to anger your friend?''
| |
|
| |
| </tabber>
| |
|
| |
| Deimos continued to punch Phidias repeatedly before stopping.
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''No no no no no... Layla, get your shit together.''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''Layla, you're not safe. We have to get you out of there.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''NO!''
| |
| Deimos climbed up the slab.
| |
| *'''Deimos:''' ''Don't be afraid. We all die. But first, tell me what I want to know. Tell me what I want to know!''
| |
| Deimos picked up Phidias and threw him to the ground. The sculptor continued uttering the words.
| |
| *'''Phidias:''' ''ithira! Korgath! Metin! Ithira! Korgath! Metin! Ithira! Korgath! Metin!''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''Layla, we're remote-ending your session.''
| |
| The scene turned to outside of the workshop. Screams continued to be heard. In the modern day, Layla Hassan's Animus session was terminated.
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Itira. Korgath. Metin. Itira. Korgath. Metin.''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''Layla, come in.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Vic! You had no right!''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''I had to pull you out. Diving into Deimos' mind almost killed you!''
| |
| *'''Aletheia:''' ''The Interloper. He is listening.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''He!?''
| |
| *'''Kiyoshi Takakura:''' ''[[Sigma Team|Sigma]]! I'm opening fire.''
| |
| *'''Alannah Ryan:''' ''Doc, fall back!''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''Kiyoshi's been hit!''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Altaïr II, come in! Altaïr II! Vic... Anyone? Can you hear me?''
| |
| The commumications went silent. Layla approached the huge door.
| |
| *'''Aletheia:''' ''The Great Seal has waited long enough.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan;''' ''I'm... I can.'t. I've seen inside Deimos' mind. I can't contact the team. The Animus isn't safe.''
| |
| *'''Aletheia:''' ''The trials of the Heir are just beginning.''
| |
|
| |
| <tabber>
| |
| |-|I'm ready for anything.=
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''You're right. I can do this. I can do this.''
| |
|
| |
| |-|I can't be the Heir.=
| |
|
| |
| </tabber>
| |
|
| |
| *'''Aletheia:''' ''Yours is a role of strength and resilience. Now, the Heir must call the name of the first symbol.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''This symbol was the first I found, and the first name said by Phidias was Ithira.''
| |
| A symbol next to the door lit up.
| |
| *'''Aletheia:''' ''The Heir recalls. She heard the names of the symbols and their order. Now, call out the name of the second.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''It was this symbol. And the second name said by Phidias was Korgath.''
| |
| A symbol on the door's right lit up.
| |
| *'''Aletheia:''' ''The Heir doesn't just experience memories, but holds them inside her. And now, the final symbol.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''I remember! Phidias somehow unlocked the order of the symbols, even if he didn't realize it. It was Ithira, Korgath, Metin.''
| |
| A symbol on the left light up. A stream of light appeared on the gate.
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''Layla! Can you hear us?''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Vic! You're alive!''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''Sigma Force soldiers stormed the ship. Kiyoshi was shot, but I stopped the bleeding. He saved us.''
| |
| *'''Alannah:''' ''It isn't the Staff. Someone is internationally remote-hacking our signal. I encrypted a new frequency for us just to be sure.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''We need to go dark until we know it's safe.''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''Before we go... How are you?''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''It's good to hear your voice. Listen, I've unlocked the Great Seal. Atlantis... is open.''
| |
| *'''Dr. Victoria Bibeau:''' ''Please. Don't go in until we know we can keep a secure connection. I wan this as much as you do, but we need to do it together.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''I'm hearing you, doctor. Atlantis has waited this long - it can wait a little longer. Until then, while I'm down here, I'm safe. Call me when Kiyoshi is back on his feet.''
| |
| *'''Alannah Ryan:''' ''He'll be glad to hear your voice. Until then, Altaïr II is going dark.''
| |
| *'''Layla Hassan:''' ''Bye.''
