The U-87 project#
Drew served as a technician at Graystone Industries, and he was assigned to the U-87 project, a battle robot under development for the Caprican military. After a Meta-Cognitive Processor was installed into a prototype U-87, Drew and Philomon aided Dr. Daniel Graystone in trying to determine why the company could not replicate the result. None of them realized that the prototype was under the control of Zoe-A. (Caprica, "Rebirth")
During his first encounter with the prototype, Drew spoke of the machine as a mere tool. When he tried to drive a screw into it, he lost a fingertip. After the prototype fled Graystone Industries and was wrecked in the attempt, Drew was moved to other work within the company. (Caprica, "Rebirth"; Caprica, "End of Line")
Atlas Arena#
Drew turns up again during the Soldiers of the One bomb plot at Atlas Arena, which Graystone's Cylons stopped, and he was part of the effort to foil it. (Caprica, "Apotheosis")

Atlas: Lord of Kobol who bore the sky
Atlas appears to be one of the Lords of Kobol worshipped in the Colonial polytheist faith. He gave his name to Caprica City's Atlas Arena, where a great statue of him, posed as if bearing a heavy load, stood watch.
Caprica: the Colonial capital
Caprica was the richest of the Twelve Colonies, seat of the Colonial government, and the world where the Cylons were built. The Cylon attack destroyed it.
Zoe-A
Zoe-A was a sentient artificial intelligence created by the Caprican prodigy Zoe Graystone as a digital recreation of herself. Through a damaged chip placed in the U-87 battle robot, the program from which she sprang came to underlie every mechanical Cylon built before and during the Cylon War.
