- Kassandra: It's hard for me to apologize, but I would say I'm sorry... for everything I failed to do.

Orion's Symbol was a virtual representation of one of Kassandra's genetic memories, relived by Layla Hassan through the Portable Animus HR-8.5.
Description
Kassandra travelled to Boeotia to look for the symbol in Orion's tomb.
Dialogue
Kassandra reached the entrance to Orion's tomb, finding Aletheia within.
- Aletheia: Kepper. The Tomb of Orion awaits the Heir.
Kassandra approached Aletheia.
- Aletheia: In this tomb, the Heir of Memories will see how life grows from a dead place.
- Kassandra: Life growing from a tomb? If I hadn't seen the Staff work, I wouldn't believe it.
- Aletheia: The Heir's task is to bring life where there was death. And your task dooms you to endure loss. Close your eyes and picture the face of one you will never see again. What would you tell them?
Kassandra closed her eyes.
- Aletheia: Remember that answer, and the path from which it comes.
- Kassandra: You don't have to tell me, Aletheia. I will always remember... I will always "keep."
- Aletheia: And now, will the Heir of Memories rise to face the tomb?
- 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 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?
OK, Lyala, think this through. Outside the 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' 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.
- 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.
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.
(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.
- 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?
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! 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.
- Layla Hassan: You're right. I can do this. I can do this.
- 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.
Outcome
Kassandra found the tomb of Orion. Layla Hassan found the symbol within.
