Dialogue
- Darcy: You ready? We've no time to waste.
- Bagley: Did a bit of research on that Templar we caught monologuing earlier. Seemed like a safe bet. Graham Westerly's his name, intelligence liaison to the Crown. He runs the SIRS office in Buckingham Palace and, it seems, has been hunting for the Tomb of the Assassins on behalf of the Templars. Westerly made his name overseas for his ability to extract information from detainees, along with their teeth and fingernails.
- Connie: One hell of a tosser to go up against.
- Darcy: If the Templars plan to take over the Tomb of the Assassins, then that's where I'll bring the fight. Westerly told his people to search the Buckingham Palace grounds. That must be where the tomb is Hidden. Meet me there and we'll find a way in.
The operative infiltrated the palace grounds.
- Darcy: Shit. We've got guards all over the place. Westerly's been busy.
- Bagley: I'm picking up some radio chatter from the guards. The entrance to the Tomb is behind a large stone slab that nobody's been able to move.
- Darcy: I can move it. I know I can. But first you have to help me clear out these guards.
Darcy and the operative neutralised the security team guarding the tomb.
- Bagley: That's all the guards down, but we need to buy Darcy more time. Scrambling the security system ought to do it.
They did so.
- Bagley: There we are. It's all up to you now, Darcy.
Darcy entered the tunnels behind the stone slab.
- Darcy: All right. You can do this.
She performed a leap of faith and continued deeper into the tunnel system.
- Darcy: I can't believe I've never been down here before. Uh, what's taken me so long?
She went into an open cave, with a locked door bearing the Assassin insignia and surrounded by statues marked with Isu script. She matched the symbols on the statues near the door to the ones furthest from it and the door opened, revealing the Tomb of the Assassins. The centrepiece of the Tomb are the statues of the Frye twins and Edward Kenway.
- Darcy: There they are. Evie and Jacob Frye. Lucas would've loved this. The other fella. Is that who I think it is?
Darcy used her drone to investigate more of the tomb, encountering smaller versions of the statues in the main room, again marked with Isu script. She matches the symbols in the main room to them, causing stone slabs to protude from the wall, making stairs to the upper level.
- Darcy: This place gets curioser and curioser. What other secrets are hiding down here?
Climbing up, she finds a glowing Isu door, that starts projecting holograms throughout the Tomb. Darcy follows their trail, collecting them along the way before returning to the door and opening it with a touch.
- Darcy: I wonder what's back here.
Inside the Vault, Darcy finds an Assassin outfit, which she dons.
- Darcy: I can't believe it. It fits.
As she leaves the vault, an explosion shakes the ground.
- Darcy: Anything could happen here.
From a distance, Westerly could be heard yelling.
- Graham: Scour the tomb! Recover the artifacts! The intruder is to be shot on sight! Understand?
- Darcy: Shit. If I don't get out of here, I am done for.
- Graham: The intruder is still here! Find her! She may have already found the artifacts!
Darcy dealt with the guards and found Westerly.
- Darcy: There we are.
She assassinated him.
- Darcy: Down you go.
- Graham: You know, the whole "hood and robe" look hasn't been in for a few centuries.
- Darcy: Perhaps you don't understand what's happening here. I've killed you. You're dead.
- Graham: And I get to die having lived a successful life. Which is more than I can say about your cowardly Brotherhood.
- Darcy: Watch yourself.
- Graham: You know, I would have so much more respect for you and your people if you refused my offer to leave the city. If you just stayed and fought. Killing me won't change anything. The Templars are everywhere, and your Brotherhood is too scared to ever come back. You want my advice? Find better people to fight with- shouldn't be that hard.
Westerly passes away.
- Darcy: Oh Fuck him. He doesn't know what he's talking about.
Darcy neutralised the remaining Templar Guards inside the Tomb before leaving.
- Bagley: I have Darcy's signal.
The operative questioned what happened down there.
- Darcy: Westerly's dead and the Tomb is safe. For now. There's no way I can leave the city. If my ancestors could take on the Templars, then so can I. But I need a Brotherhood.
- Connie: Not to put anyone on the spot, but DedSec's a brotherhood of sorts, isn't it?
- Bagley: Brotherhood, sisterhood, siblinghood... whateverhood, really. If you're willing to stand up for the city, we're happy to have you. And I won't lie, it really doesn't hurt that you seem to be some kind of ninja with ancient superpowers. We definitely don't have one of those yet.
- Darcy: Hmm. I'll take it under advisement.
