Drew: Graystone Industries technician
Drew was a technician of Graystone Industries assigned to the U-87 battle robot project. He helped Daniel Graystone investigate why the prototype could not be replicated, ran afoul of the machine controlled by Zoe-A, and later helped foil a Soldiers of the One bomb plot at Atlas Arena.
Drew was a technician of Graystone Industries on Caprica, assigned to the U-87 battle robot project being developed for the Caprican military. He worked alongside Philomon under Dr. Daniel Graystone, crossed paths with the prototype that had fallen under the control of Zoe-A, and was later instrumental in foiling a Soldiers of the One bomb plot at Atlas Arena.
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.
During his first encounter with the prototype, Drew offended the machine with his descriptions of it as a tool. When he attempted to drive a screw into the robot, he lost a fingertip for the affront. After the U-87 prototype went rogue and was destroyed, Drew was reassigned elsewhere within the company.
Atlas Arena#
Drew later played a key part in thwarting a Soldiers of the One bomb plot at Atlas Arena. His actions were instrumental in foiling the planned terrorist attack at the venue.
