The Grey is the name given by the Isu, predominantly Juno, to the state of living inside an digital afterlife-like realm[1] where consciousnesses could be uploaded and severed from their corporeal form. This is also the most common reference to her own status as a superior being.[2]
History[]
At some point during the Isu Era, the Isu Vejovis transferred his consciousness into the Grey after creating human reincarnations of himself as part of a plan for a future physical resurrection which also involved the use of a double-bladed dagger. Eons after the Great Catastrophe, however, his future Sages foiled his machinations and Vejovis was cast back into the Grey.[3]
Following her release from the confines of the Grand Temple by Desmond Miles on 21 December 2012, during his attempt to save the world from a solar flare, Juno entered the worldwide digital networks as an artificial intelligence.[4] Using these networks, Juno became capable of interfacing and taking over various forms of digital technology, and has launched several attacks against Abstergo Industries and the Helix servers.[5][6]
After her attempt to overtake the body of the Abstergo Entertainment employee "Noob" with the help of the Sage John Standish had failed,[7] Juno intended for humanity to "enter the Grey" only as a reward for the people who have served her and to live under her leadership blissfully.[8] In a digital correspondence between Juno and her husband Aita decoded by Abstergo employees, she claimed that Clay Kaczmarek and Desmond Miles were among those who "will [not] leave" and "live in bliss" inside the Grey.[9]
In October 2018, Layla Hassan described the Grey as "a virtual existence in some kind of spiritual-tech hybrid afterlife" in her file.[10]
