The '''Meta-cognitive Processor''' (MCP) is an advanced central processing unit developed by [[Tomas Vergis]] of the [[Vergis Corporation]] on [[Tauron]], intended to bring higher brain function to [[robot|cybernetic life form]]s. | The '''Meta-cognitive Processor''' (MCP) is an advanced central processing unit developed by [[Tomas Vergis]] of the [[Vergis Corporation]] on [[Tauron]], intended to bring higher brain function to [[robot|cybernetic life form]]s. | ||

Though Graystone believes the experiment is a failure, the chip enables the U-87 prototype to test at sentient levels, performing well in battle simulations. Despite this success, however, only the original chip and the original U-87 chassis demonstrate this level of aptitude, an inexplicable bonding of the two nominally isometric components. Unbeknown to the scientists at Graystone Industries and Graystone himself, the bond is due to the presence of the [[Zoe-A|Zoe Graystone avatar]] within the MCP and U-87 body {{CAP|Pilot (Caprica)|Rebirth}}. | Though Graystone believes the experiment is a failure, the chip enables the U-87 prototype to test at sentient levels, performing well in battle simulations.

Unaware of Zoe's presence as the U-87, Graystone continues to work on the unit, striving to solve the problem and deliver 100,000 functional robots to the Caprican Government within a short deadline. Working with [[Cyrus Xander]] and his assistant [[Philomon]], Graystone ultimately concludes that the chip contains anomalies that, while giving the U-87 a psychological presence, needs to burned off the MCP "like a cancer." With the MCP wiped clean of any existing anomalies, the Graystone scientists can finally create clean copies. Fearing the deletion of her avatar and thus potential death herself, Zoe steals a company van and escapes Graystone Industries within her robot body {{CAP|End of Line}}. | Unaware of Zoe's presence as the U-87, Graystone continues to work on the unit, striving to solve the problem and deliver 100,000 functional robots to the Caprican Government within a short deadline.
