At first sight, [[Cylon Centurion|Modern Centurions]] exist only to obey orders given by [[Humanoid Cylon]]s. Their purpose and existence are limited to humanoid closed guard and commando actions. Actually, according to [[Sharon Agathon]], the thinking function exists but has been switched off by Cavil in order to prevent a rise of the machines ([[TRS]]: "[[Precipice]]"). | |||

Yet these two appear to have been affected even by their brief experience, such that they feel the pull of desires and emotions they did not have before and arguably become addicted to them. The psychology of the [[Number Six|Sixes]] and [[Number Eight|Eights]] at least is not entirely pre-fab or stable out of the box, in that they seem predisposed to life in human society, but born unwise to it, like pre-pubescent teens. Whether other models would opt for a human-like life, given sufficient experience of it, is less clear. | Yet these two appear to have been affected even by their brief experience, such that they feel the pull of desires and emotions they did not have before and arguably become addicted to them.

The [[Number One|Ones]] do seem to come from the box ill-equipped and dead-set against it, but then humans can be like that too, most often as infants. Conceivably Ones could adapt to living as a human, were they obliged to do so, as children always are. But being born with seniority, authority and no strong commitment to democracy, the circumstance does not arise. | The [[Number One|Ones]] do seem to come from the box ill-equipped and dead-set against it, but then humans can be like that too, most often as infants.

The [[Final Five]] do not remember the lives from which they resurrected themselves two thousand years before, but they were born and raised from childhood in a society like humans. They are diverse, each an entirely human-seeming individual. Of course, they are not human, it seems reasonable to suppose that more or less they are. | |||
