== Overview == | |||
: ''When the demand for the [[Cylons (RDM)|Cylon]] production is dramatically changed to just a week, [[Daniel Graystone|Daniel]] calls the order to clean the [[meta-cognitive processor|MCP]], which will destroy the [[Zoe-A|Zoe avatar]] in the process and forces her to take drastic actions to escape. [[Barnabas Greeley|Barnabas]] puts [[Lacy Rand|Lacy]]'s allegiance to the [[Soldiers of the One|STO]] to a test, as [[Clarice Willow|Clarice]] plans a trip to [[Gemenon]]. [[Amanda Graystone|Amanda]] is haunted by visions of [[Darius|her brother]] and the allegations made by [[Tomas Vergis|Vergis]] against her husband push her to the brink. [[Emmanuelle]] finds [[Tamara Adama|Tamara]] so as to finally take [[Joseph Adama|Joseph]]'s quest to an end.'' | |||
