In The Battle of the Labyrinth, Daedalus gives Annabeth Chase, his half-sister, his laptop which is full of his ideas, inventions, and theories. In this computer, Annabeth discovered that Daedalus had a brilliant idea: 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 Jackson and Annabeth were 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, however 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.
