Devastated by the loss of her best friends, Zoe sought the counsel of Sister [[Clarice Willow]], Headmistress of Athena Academy. Secretly a cell leader in the monotheist terror group the [[Soldiers of the One]], Clarice was aware of Zoe's avatar program, though unable to access it.

Lacy Rand was a student at the Athena Academy on Caprica and best friend of Zoe Graystone. Following Graystone's death, Lacy became one of the Zoe avatar's only links to the outside world, helping orchestrate her escape to Gemenon by joining the Soldiers of the One.
Early History
Lacy grew up as normal Caprican teenagers did, living in a small home in suburban Caprica City. Lacy frequently visited the Virtual World's "V-Club" with her best friend Zoe Graystone, where she took part in simulated group sex rooms. Despite the closeness of their relationship, however, Zoe and Lacy began to drift apart (CAP: "Pilot", "Rebirth", "The Reins of a Waterfall").
Attending the Athena Academy, whose curriculum was based on the teachings of the Goddess Athena, required Lacy to join prayer groups. Still, she was convinced by Graystone and her boyfriend, Ben Stark, to attend a different kind of prayer group - one devoted to the worship of the monotheist God. According to Stark, "You pray, Lace, but your Gods don't answer, you hurt but your Gods don't heal. You go to the V-Club for sex and sin, but it doesn't fill the void in your soul." (CAP: "Pilot")
Convinced by the exhortations of the Monotheist Church, Lacy once again grew closer to Zoe and came to see the decadence of the V-Club as moral corruption (CAP: "Pilot").
Flight to Gemenon
Despite their close friendship, Lacy was left much in the dark about many of Zoe Graystone's activities relating to the monotheist movement. Lacy was aware, however vaguely, of Zoe's work in the creation of a duplicate avatar, one that acted a permanent manifestation of Zoe inside V-World. She also agreed to join Zoe and Ben Stark in their move to Gemenon, told only that there would be a "new family" waiting for them. (CAP: "Pilot", "Rebirth).
When the time came, however, leave Caprica, Lacy backed out, watching her friends depart on the MagLev train to the Caprica City Spaceport. The train, though, never reached its destination. As the Lev departed, Ben Stark denoted a homemade explosive, killing everybody aboard the train, including Zoe Graystone (CAP: "Pilot").
Finding the Avatar
Devastated by the loss of her best friends, Zoe sought the counsel of Sister Clarice Willow, Headmistress of Athena Academy. Secretly a cell leader in the monotheist terror group the Soldiers of the One, Clarice was aware of Zoe's avatar program, though unable to access it. Clarice urged Lacy to seek out any work Zoe had been conducting as a way of feeling closer to her deceased friend - and hoping she would lead Clarice to the avatar (CAP: "Pilot").
To that end, Lacy visited the home of the Graystone family where she accessed Zoe's computer sheet and located the avatar in V-World. Shocked to find the avatar reeling from the death of the real Zoe, the Zoe avatar pleaded with Lacy to acknowledge it as a the real Zoe Graystone, not just a computer-generated simulacrum. Lacy conceded, embracing her friend for the first time in her virtual "skin" (CAP: "Pilot").
Accessing the avatar from Zoe's home computer system some time later, Lacy was caught by Zoe's father, Daniel Graystone, who insisted Lacy show him the avatar. Taking Daniel into the hacked underbelly of the Virtual World, Lacy introduced Daniel to the virtual copy of his dead daughter and unknowingly allowed him to capture her code (CAP: "Pilot").
With Lacy out of communication with Zoe and unaware of Daniel Graystone's plans for the avatar, Lacy was shocked to receive a phone call from a familiar voice - that of Zoe Graystone, now living within the body of a U-87 soldier robot (CAP: "Pilot").
Once again sneaking into the Graystone home, Lacy returned to find Zoe living in secret as the 7-foot Cylon prototype. Overcoming her reluctance at seeing her best friend in such a horrific form, Lacy accepted Zoe and agreed to help her (CAP: "Rebirth").
Introduction to the STO
As Caprican authorities squared in on Ben Stark and the Soldiers of the One as the perpetrators of the bombing, Lacy was questioned by GDD Agent Jordan Duram. Forced to lie about her knowledge of Stark and Graystone's religious beliefs, Lacy became riddled with guilt. Once again seeking solace from Sister Clarice, she confessed her association with the monotheist movement only to learn that Clarice herself was STO (CAP: "Pilot").
Not fully trusting Sister Clarice, Lacy agreed to visit Willow's home where she met the various members of the headmistress' group marriage. Despite the glimpse into Clarice's life outside the Athena Academy, Lacy only distrusted her more, from then on avoiding contact with her. Meeting regularly with Zoe in the Virtual World, Lacy was tasked with finding a way to transport the U-87 to Gemenon, to complete the original Zoe's mission (CAP: "The Reins of a Waterfall").
Zoe asked Lacy to track down Keon Gatwick, a member of Ben Stark's STO cell. Having been taunted by him at school, Lacy approached Keon aggressively, tackling him and demanding information about the Soldiers of the One. Reluctant to help her, Lacy was forced to win Keon's trust by helping him repair motorcycles - a skill she learned from her mother - at the auto shop he worked at. Finally, Keon agreed to set up a meeting with Barnabas Greeley, the leader of his cell (CAP: "The Reins of a Waterfall", "Gravedancing").
Meeting Barnabas in his lair at the Caprica City ports, Lacy was unable to explain precisely what she needed transported to Gemenon. Still, with persistence, Lacy was allowed to join Barnabas' prayer groups. Quickly showing her metal and earning Barnabas' trust, Lacy continued to work toward freeing Zoe. Providing her with a container that would clear Gemenese customs, Barnabas asked Lacy to return the favor - plant a "tracking" device on Sister Clarice. At first hesitant, Lacy did what she was asked, planting the device on Clarice's keyring (CAP: "Know Thy Enemy", "End of Line").
Back in Barnabas' lair, however, Lacy learned the true purpose of the device: a detonator. With Keon working the controls, Lacy felt betrayed. At first refusing to go along with murdering Clarice, Lacy relented when Barnabas held a gun to her head, then Keon's, threatening to kill him if she did not comply. Activating the remote detonator, Lacy watched as the bomb in Clarice's trunk ignited. Though Clarice was able to escape unharmed, Lacy was by then well in over her head (CAP: "End of Line").
Unfortunately, Lacy was too late. With Zoe at risk of being deleted by the scientists at Graystone Industries, Zoe escaped confinement and fled into the outskirts of Caprica City. Ramming her escape vehicle into a barricade, destroying the robotic body she inhabited and sending the avatar program back to the Virtual World (CAP: "End of Line", "Unvanquished").
Aftermath
With a means of finally securing Zoe passage to Gemenon, Lacy's task nearly complete. However, she was too late and Zoe - at risk of having her program deleted - fled Graystone Industries. Angry and betrayed, Zoe accused Lacy of failing her, just like she failed her on the MagLev some months ago (CAP: "End of Line").
Without the mission of helping Zoe, Lacy became fully immersed in Barnabas' STO terror cell, training in the use of firearms and participating in blood-letting rituals (CAP: "Unvanquished")
As part of her initiation into Barnbas' circle, Lacy joined cell members Pann and Hippolyta as they planted explosives at the Caprica Interplanetary Spaceport. Confronted by spaceport security, Lacy was unable to plant her bomb, managing to elude capture but botching the entire attempt. With the cell's activities capturing the attention of the press and the Caprican Government, Sister Clarice took the opportunity to seek revenge for the attempt on her life, killing Pann and Hyppolyta (CAP: "Retribution").
Finding Barnbas at a construction site in downtown Caprica City, Lacy begged for forgiveness for the botched bombing. However, Barnabas no longer trusted her, accusing Lacy of working for Clarice. As the situation deteriorated, Keon Gatwick attempted to quit the cell, forcing Barnabas to shoot him. Charging in on the scene, Sister Clarice handcuffed Barnabas to an explosive and kidnapped Lacy, watching from the street as the bomb detonated (CAP: "Retribution").
