The Grey is the name given by the Isu Juno to the state of living inside an unknown digital afterlife-like realm[1] This is also the most common reference to her own status as a superior being.[2]
History
At an unknown time during the Isu Era, the Isu Vejovis transferred his consciousness into the Grey after creating human reincarnations of himself. This was all a plan for a future physical resurrection which also involved the use of a special double bladed dagger. Eons after the Great Catastrophe, Vejovis was later revered as an Etruscan deity. Even after his future sages foiled his plan for resurrection, he was defeated and cast back into the Grey for an eternity.[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 an Abstergo Entertainment research analyst 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]
