History

Not much is known about Graystone's childhood. At a young age, he began technological experiments in his parent's garage and dreamed of owning the Caprica Buccaneers. At some point, he married a surgeon, Dr. Amanda Graystone, with whom he has a daughter, Zoe.

Graystone eventually founded a technology corporation on Caprica that pioneered the development of the holoband, a user interface technology that allows for seemingly fully immersive virtual reality. The success of the technology made Graystone a celebrity scientist, frequently appearing on television. At the same time, his company began contracting with the Aschen government to develop technologies for military application, the most prominent of which was the U-87 Cyber Combat Unit, and the Aiyanna Series Omniscient AI Project. These projects aimed at replacing human soldiers and officers with Cybernetic, Artificial units.

While the development of the cybernetic body was successful, Graystone had considerably more difficulty with the programming of a true artificial intelligence and its related hardware. The project had originally been planned to take five years, but the increasing number of prototype failures led the program falling five years behind schedule and five hundred million cubits over budget. Frustrated with Graystone's failures, the Caprican government threatened to cancel its contract with the company and take the project to the Vergis Corporation, Graystone's Tauronese rival that had announced the successful development of a meta-cognitive processor that could serve as an artificial intelligence.

Pushed and motivated by his constant failures and downfalls. Daniel Graystone finally came up with the Meta-Cognitive Positronic Processor, and developed random generative code to serve as an appropriate Artificial Intelligence format. He created the first Aiyanna series prototype, upon downloading of the consciousness and the meta-generative code into the AI systems of the cybernetic body he had constructed. There was a computer error, this resulted in catastrophic corruption of data throughout the first Aiyanna's Databanks. The Project was dubbed a failure and Aiyanna was to be scrapped.

Unfortunately Aiyanna-A had escaped, upon her escape she learned much from her creators, it was then she determined Humanity a flawed creation. Aiyanna-A was born.

Graystone wasn't satisfied, spurned by his recent failure, he created a second Aiyanna, this was dubbed Aiyanna-B, however unlike her predecessor, she was a success, three laws safe, and programmed to assist the Aschen as their Compendium of knowledge, their Librarian.

So begins...

"They do." Daniel said as he shrugged somewhat. "I program and work in Artificial sentience.. I created the Aiyanna Project.. of course.. that was a huge frakup... Being around robots sooths me though.. they're so innocent and pure."

"Well.. this is true.." He said as he slowly stood up. "So what's this you want to know about split personalities? I might be able to help... or I can try." He said as he pulled out some cubits to pay for his drink.

"Well that all depends, it's been proven for two to inhabit one.. sometimes there's a Goa'uld blending. If you have the problem.. there's an Aschen doctor outside the city whom could probably remove the personality."

"Simply put I'm not from this world." He said as his phone rang. "I have to go." He said as he stood up and started to walk out of the bar. Tossing five thousand cubits towards Autumn.

Outside the bar a series of white vans would be seen driving down Main Street, each and every van looked roughly the same, but in the center of the convoy of vans was a white limousine. Inside the limo was a man of profound wealth, profound intellect. Daniel Graystone, a proud individual. The Vans would continue to make their way through the street until they all came to a stop. Each of the vans had a logo upon the side, a dark gray 'G' with the text under it that read 'Graystone Industries.' Upon coming to a stop, the vans would remain for a long while.

The driver would emerge from the limo, a short stocky built man clad in a black blazer, white dress shirt, black tie and black slacks, a traditional driver's cap atop his head. Walking towards the back door of the limousine, he would open it to reveal a middle aged, physically fit man clad in a black trench, white dress shirt, sunglasses and a pair of tan slacks. It was the man himself, the Dr. The founder of Graystone Industries and one of the richest men in the Galaxy. Emerging from the limousine, he would slowly start to approach the front door of Gambit's Bar. Extending his right hand he would grasp the doorknob, he wasn't one for flashy entrances, rather he preferred to keep it simple. Upon entering Gambit's, his gaze would fall upon two individuals, Magdelena De Vante, and Hadya`. Graystone said nothing though, but he found the two individuals quite interesting.

Steeling himself for the approach, he would allow a smile to play across his lips, step by step he would make his way over in their general direction. They had struck him as interesting, and an interesting group was hard to find in this day and age.

Graystone continued his approach. He was a man of profession. The trench he was wearing would move with his movements, flutter in the stale, stench filled air of the bar. His footsteps were well timed, careful if you would. Upon being noticed by the two individuals, Daniel couldn't help but smile. Which played across wise features. A man of brilliance, and cunning. Hands tucked in his trench pockets for a moment, he would bring his gaze first on Hadya, inclining his head politely, and respectfully. Overhearing their tales was somewhat easy in the bar, given his location adjacent to them. But it was hard to discern words over the clamor of the patrons inside the bar. The Graystone vans would still be seen parked in front of the bar, and they would remain there until Daniel had decided it was time to go. Extending his hand to Magdelena, he smiled. "Greetings, I couldn't help but notice you two fine ladies here, do you mind if I join you?" He asked as he extended a hand. "How rude of me.. I'm Daniel Graystone, Dr. Daniel Graystone." He said professionally, politely and curtly. His voice conveying no hostility. "A round of drinks for the ladies please, on me." He said as he withdrew a red tinted 1,000 cubit bill, and promptly stuffed it into the pocket of the waitress, whom went wide-eyed at the money in her pocket, and went right away to grab the drinks.

"I see." Was all the Doctor said. Looking to the two he would clear his throat. "Well... in any case I'm due for an appointment back on my home world.. apologies for bothering you." He then smiled to the waitress. "Keep the change." He said before withdrawing a fat wad of cubits, flashing cash perhaps. Daniel Graystone was one of the most powerful men on his world. The creator of the Aiyanna Android would have to be very powerful. He could tell he had probably offended them. But he was not going to make a scene. Approaching the door as he walked away from the group, he patted the shoulder of one of the PMC Soldiers that had entered, the man following Daniel out of the bar, the convoy of vans, pulling out and leaving.

Walks into the bar with a neutral expression on his face. Making his way through the throng of people he spotted Claire Brownlow and Swift. Clearing his throat some the doctor would make his way over to the table. "For some reason every time I see an Invictus there's a women at their side.. must be the cool kid's club." He said as he slowly removed his sunglasses and inclined his head. "No need for introductions, you probably know who I am, and drinks are on me, money is no object."

"I'm Daniel Graystone, the worlds' famous CEO and scientist." He said throwing down a one thousand cubit bill, the red hued aschen bill almost glowing in the light of the bar. "I don't get out much, you don't have to be so rude." Graystone added as he moved to sit down. "I'd have said the same thing... I've been getting out more since my wife went missing. News said she jumped from the Pantheon Bridge after the failure that is the Aiyanna project." He said with a shrug. "In any case stop being rude, it's not like I'm causing trouble."

"I'm also not into males." He added curtly before grasping the one thousand cubit bill and replacing it back into his pocket. "I will have a conversation with you." Graystone added. But I'm still kinda shook up over my wife's recent disappearance, you understand. I just want someone to talk too."

He knew Claire was watching him, and so he would turn his attention to her. "Hello, whom might you be?" He asked. "You look like a bright individual." Graystone said as he withdrew a 100 cubit bill and passed it to the waitress. "Ambrosia please." He said before turning to Swift. "Ever heard of the Aiyanna project? If you have... then you would be wise to keep in a conversation with me."

"You really need to stop being an ass, you have any idea the kind of weight I pull? Keep it up." He said coldly before returning his attention to the woman. "You don't want to hang around men like him, you'll wind up hurt, or worse." He said as he motioned to the waitress. "Would you like anything to drink, miss?"

Graystone said nothing as he slowly rose to his feet. Quietly he removed his trench and withdrew a cell phone. "You don't need to threaten me... that's a really bad idea." He then cleared his throat. "Five billion cubits to the first man that brings the corpse of this man to Graystone Industries' front porch!" With that four hulking mechanical U-87 Centurions walked into the bar, taking up key positions around the group as Graystone faded behind the centurions. "I've just placed a bounty on your head so large, you won't be able to go near a civilized system." He then cleared his throat. "Centurions.. let's go." He said as he walked out of the bar towards the parked van, which had several mercenaries clad in gray jumpsuits armed with beam rifles standing around it. No one threatened Daniel Graystone, no one.

Outside the bar a black limo pulled up to the bar. The windows would be tinted almost a solid black, after a few moments, the driver would emerge and open the side door to the limo, allowing a middle aged man in a sand colored trench trimmed with black fur, and a white dress shirt and black slacks would be seen. Once he emerged from the limo, he would approach the bar, saying nothing as he walked through the throng of people towards the counter.

Sitting directly besides Roman. Graystone would rub his brow before holding up his hand. "Something strong please." He said as he sighed. "Gods it's been a long week..." He muttered. Looking somewhat haggled after some kind of something went down back home.

Taking off his dark sunglasses, he would slide them into his pocket. He appeared to be a man of wealth, someone of status where he was from. "Hello there." He said with a somewhat straight face. One of the U-87 Centurions, would have provided their drinks, one for Roman, and one for Graystone. Taking the money it clunked off. Graystone speaking up. "Daniel Graystone." He said introducing himself. "You've probably heard of me."

"A wealthy many to a shitty place like this... gods I ask myself the same question.. Why couldn't I be in some... ritzy place in the upper districts of Caprica City..." He said with a passive shrug. "I'm here because Graystone Industries has a stake in the Trinnium mining that Tech Con is working with on this world, We've also got a stake in a few of the companies here on this world. I thought that was common knowledge." He said. "I'm here to wash away my sorrows.. my company's failing, my wife jumped off a bridge, and my daughter is a frakking terrorist."

With that Graystone took a swig of his drink and swiveled in his seat some.

"If You're not with Tech Con, or Vergis, then I probably haven't heard of you." He said with a shrug and then sipped his drink, but when Meghan approached him he would turn to her for just a moment. "I'm sure i'll be fine, excuse me." He said, returning to his conversation with Roman. "So what brings a woman like you to a hive of scum and villainy like this?" He asked, shifting in his seat slightly, the bartender pouring him another drink. "Though there's a lot of bickering going on between the Aschen Confederation and the Taiyou Empire, since the kidnapping of their Empress, she wants to destroy the planet, but she can't because us Aschen have an interest in the natural resources here." Graystone explained.

"Vata-what?" Graystone said as he tilted his head. "I'm sorry but you got me there... wait... oh.. Yeah... LDA has files on them.. I think I glanced through it when I was reading up on their Aiyanna dossier.. they had links to STO, a terrorist organization on my world. I think the Confederation has dubbed them a fanatical entity. Beyond that I don't know much about them, Something... I mean I think they want the Confederation destroyed because of our polytheistic beliefs.. but we have such a powerful military.. but that's why our military exists." He then turned to Meghan. "Oh they found her, rescued her, but she wants revenge."

"No... not that I know of.. I heard the Empress got kidnapped by middle eastern terrorists." He frowned somewhat as the interesting conversation seemed to vanish, changing to something he knew little about. "You would have to speak to the Empress when she comes to the bar, I hear she frequents it, albeit under heavy guard." Graystone said as he watched Viktor enter the bar. But of course he said nothing, going back to his drink he turned back to Meghan. "I trust however.. the Empress would be willing to tell you all you know."
