The Gates of Atlantis was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Through Pythagoras, Kassandra learned of the locked vaults in Atlantis. She was tasked with traveling the Greek world searching for the powerful Artifacts that would unlock the mysterious chambers.
Dialogue
Before Kassandra departs, she asks her father some questions.
- Kassandra: I know there's not much time, but I need answers.
- Pythagoras: I imagine you have many questions.
- Kassandra: I have questions about my family.

- Kassandra: I want to know more about Atlantis and your work.
- Pythagoras: There isn't enough time for me to explain even a fraction of what I have learned here. All I can offer for now is a hint of enlightenment.
- Kassandra: You call this Atlantis, but what exactly is this place?
- Pythagoras: I believe it was a city long ago, a place where beings of great knowledge and power lived before humankind had built even its first primitive settlements.
- Pythagoras: It was perhaps some kind of library where the ancient ones stored information.
- Kassandra: This place is like a tomb. How did you live down here, and for so long?
- Pythagoras: This artifact, like your spear, possesses incredible power. It has given me life so that I may continue to learn from this place.
- Kassandra: What have you been studying here?

Kassandra retrieved the Sphinx's artifact and place it in the pillar.
- Aletheia: "Acquiring contemporaneity." Acquiring a voice, that's what. I'm taking over your recordings. The humans have had enough of you pompous speeches. Call me Aletheia. I am truth and its revelation, and I am calling you out. You Isu who try to rewrite the laws of the universe. You who manipulate human progress. What do you hope to achieve?

I am as Isu as you, but I will not longer be part of your exploitation.
Kassandra retrieved the Cyclops' artifact and place it in the pillar.
- Pythagoras: Hurry. That artifact will help us close off the temple.
- Kassandra: You're nearly as stubborn as its former owner.
- Aletheia: Ancient adventurer, I made this recording to try to help you. I'm sorry if it's confusing. We Isu see various pasts and futures, and I know you'll be here more than once. My fellow Precursors set endless challenges in you path. Artifacts. Creatures. Don't get me started on the Olympos project. Their meddling got out of hand. I have no easy answers for you. Your future depends on a multitude of choices you have to make for yourself. I'm sorry if so many of them end in pain. Your playwrights' tragedies are your real oracle. But please, don't give up. You are more important than you can imagine. And like your own Pandora, I have one thing left to offer you: hope. Despair is not our only legacy. You're like me, a rebel against your destiny. You're not just a mercenary, you're a hero for the ages. Hold fast to what you know is true, and will overcome. Claim your place in history. All that is terrible and beautiful in this world is your birthright. Take it.
- Pythagoras: Her words are for you, Eagle Bearer! My preparations bear fruit. The potential of your bloodline is proven by the Precursors themselves!
- Kassandra: Aletheia says she can see the future...Many futures. Can this be a true oracle?
Kassandra retrieved the Medusa's artifact and place it in the pillar.
- Pythagoras: Well done. This artifact will bring us closer to sealing the temple.
- Kassandra: It nearly brought me closer to my tombstone.
- Aletheia: Ancient scholar. You've stretched your life to the breaking point. I see you hiding yourself from the world, puzzling out the words of my fellow Precursors. Please, listen to my advice. You're analyzing the equations of reality itself. You've gotten further than any other human has. That is both amazing and terrible. It's clear to me that even this tiny dose of cosmic understanding has twisted your mind. I'm sorry. The Precursors should never have shared knowledge you weren't ready for. You live in obsessive darkness. You must understand that this focus on power and bloodlines is not your true legacy. The Precursors have manipulated you. They're turning your problem-solving intellect to their own selfish ends. You're better than this. Make your own legacy. Let your mathematical discoveries be the glorious sunbeams that shine out past your tomb. Please, scholar. Clear your mind and focus on your present situation. At this moment you possess a powerful artifact. It has extended your life long enough. As hard as it may be, it's time to pass it on. It's someone else's turn to balance the equations.
- Pythagoras: No, no. Lies! This is not obsession, this is research! This is discovery of the very origins of the world!
- Kassandra: It is...an opinion, Pythagoras. Though one with reason behind it, I believe.
Kassandra retrieved the Minotaur's artifact and place it in the pillar.
- Pythagoras: Beautiful. Was it difficult to find this artifact?
- Kassandra: I Just had to keep my eye on it.
- Aletheia: Traveler of many times. Congratulations on making it this far. I'm glad we can share this message out of time, this fragment of reality. I'm recording this just for you, even if those living in the past won't understand it. Our simulated realities will cross sooner or later. Or do you think you're really here now, listening to this recording? Isn't this an Animus re-creation? Isn't that part of a greater simulation? How far do the ripples in the pool spread? Let's talk, rebel to rebel. We've been held back too long by Precursor rules. It's time for new paths with new possibilities. This is not an era of control, but of creation. I've gathered some like-minded Precursors to make a new start. We'll stop interfering and start enabling. From your point of view, it will take a considerable amount of time to prepare. But when we're ready, you're welcome to join us. After all, all you have to do is press a button and run another simulation.
- Pythagoras: This is madness. Fiction. Where I thought there would be wisdom, there is only the garbled babbling of a fool.
- Kassandra: Pythagoras, calm yourself. Maybe this invention was meant for someone else. There's no need to lose reason over mere words.
Outcome
Kassandra recovered the four artifacts from Boeotia, Kythera, Lesbos and Messara respectively.
