Plan Twenty-Three

The First Idea
In The Battle of the Labyrinth Daedalus gives Annabeth, his half sister, his laptop which is full of his ideas, inventions, and assumptions. In this computer, Annabeth discovered that Daedalus had a brilliant invention — Almost every statue in New York is an automaton that will do whatever you want if you press it in a special location and say the Authorization Code. Percy and Annabeth are unsure if the statues were meant to help the Gods, or to help the Titans, because they knew that Daedalus did not have a side in the war and has never really had a side. He did say he was going to help Luke until he turned and helped the Gods by killing himself to destroy the Labyrinth to keep Camp Half-Blood safe.

Authorization Code/Phrase
To activate the statues in New York, you much press their activation button on them somewhere (William H. Seward, as seen in the picture to the right, has his activation button on his shoe.) To give him an order you must say "Daedalus Twenty-Three" then say what you want the statue to do. For example in The Last Olympian when Annabeth is activating William H. Seward she says "Defend Manhattan, Begin Activation." After that he got up and started the Activation of other statues all over Manhattan.

Pros

 * An army that is at your disposal and will do whatever you want.
 * There are many statues in Manhattan
 * Made of Stone, Marble, Steel, and Bronze so they are all hard to break which could prove well in combat.
 * Very strong.

Cons

 * Automatons are very unpredictable.
 * Could join the Titans and all the Pros would then become cons.



Percy and the Sow
When Kronos sent the Clazmonian Sow out on the Demigod army, Percy was the only one brave enough to battle it. Percy and his Pegasi Blackjack fortunately killed the sow, but it was not until Percy activated the Hermes statue and the Lion statues to "kill flying pigs" using Daedalus Twenty-Three. And with the help of the statues, they killed it.
