| When Zoe Graystone dies due to the religious fanaticism of her boyfriend, Ben Stark, her father Daniel Graystone manages to resurrect her - after a fashion. The same terrorist attack claimed the lives of Joseph Adama's wife and daughter, Tamara and both meet under conditions of mutual grief. Graystone, already having Zoe-A, a digital clone of her memories and personality which was created by his daughter, uses stolen technology (secured by Joseph Adama via his underworld contacts) to create a robotic version of his daughter, known as Zoe-R, the first step toward creating the Cylon race. As Adama works with Graystone to bringing back their children, Adama is appalled at his partner's methods and ethics. However, as a result of this tragedy, he grows closer to his 9-year old son, William Adama. [2], (Caprica_pilot) At first it appears to be a failure with the download of Zoe-A into a prototype Cylon form but later Zoe-R awakens and calls her best friend Lacy Rand for help |
