The Sokratic Method was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Kassandra came across the philosopher Sokrates within the Sanctuary of Apollo on Delos during her time in the Silver Islands.
As Kassandra traveled through Delos over the course of her campaign to kill Podarkes, she heard a crowd around the familiar voice of Sokrates.
Kassandra decided to intervene.

Seeing Sokrates had shifted his queries to someone else, the crowd took the opportunity to quickly disperse.
.
Before leaving, Kassandra spoke to Sokrates once more.

Kassandra left and made her way to the Hestiatorion, She scanned the location with Ikaros to find the rebel.
She infiltrated the building and overheard the rebel shooting his mouth off at his captors.
With her usual skillset, she was able to untie the rebel and lead him away.
Regardless, Kasos would not keep his mouth shut, bellowing war cries throughout their escape.

In spite of his less-than-helpful shouting, Kassandra was able to secret Kasos to the Sacred Lake north of the city.
Kasos attacked Kassandra and she killed him with little effort. She remarked sarcastically on the outcome.
Kassandra returned to Sokrates to see the crowd had returned to lodge another complaint.

Once more, Kassandra spoke to Sokrates.
Sokrates laughed.
Regardless, Sokrates asked the rebel's fate.
Sokrates was briefly speechless at Kassandra's witty response.
The two continued talking.
Kassandra met Sokrates and decided the fate of the captive rebel before returning to report the results to him.
