Unaware of the presence of the [[Zoe Graystone]] [[avatar]] within the prototype U-87, Philomon intuitively refers to the [[robot]] in the feminine, treating it with a respect and reverence not shared by his coworker, [[Drew Tanner]]. Having worked on the U-87 during its initial design and construction phases, Philomon is tasked with the maintenance and upkeep of the prototype - while also working with [[Daniel Graystone]] to solve technical problems with the (stolen) [[Meta-cognitive processor|MCP]] ([[CAP]]: "[[Rebirth]], "[[Gravedancing]]"). | Unaware of the presence of the [[Zoe Graystone]] [[avatar]] within the prototype U-87, Philomon intuitively refers to the [[robot]] in the feminine, treating it with a respect and reverence not shared by his coworker, [[Drew Tanner]].

Personally, Philomon struggles at finding a romantic connection, even finding it difficult to meet women in the [[virtual world]]. Philomon's sexual frustrations manifest in his interactions with the U-87, often speaking to it as though it's a romantic interest, even dancing with the robot during a motion analysis test of its limbs. Developing an attraction to Philomon over the course of these interactions, Zoe Graystone as the U-87 initiates contact with him through the virtual dating site, V-Match.

Philomon's sexual frustrations manifest in his interactions with the U-87, often speaking to it as though it's a romantic interest, even dancing with the robot during a motion analysis test of its limbs. Developing an attraction to Philomon over the course of these interactions, Zoe Graystone as the U-87 initiates contact with him through the virtual dating site, V-Match. Taking on the guise of "Rachel", Zoe makes a date with Philomon and arranges to meet him in the [[V-Club]] ([[CAP]]: "[[Know Thy Enemy]]). | ||
Though Philomon is at first shocked by Rachel's close resemblance to Zoe Graystone, he quickly reciprocates the attraction, stating that he believes Zoe Graystone "had principles". Taking Rachel on several virtual dates - including a simulated [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] flight, Philomon grows closer to Rachel, despite not being able to see what she really looks like. Though Zoe is using her interaction with Philomon as part of a plan to escape Caprica to [[Gemenon]], her persona as Rachel inspires him to solve a major problem in replicating the MCP chip and mass producing Cylons. With new insight, Philomon brings his theory to Daniel Graystone who dismisses Philomon, ordering him to delete the MCP. Neither men are aware, however, that doing so would also delete Zoe in the process {{CAP|The Imperfections of Memory|Ghosts in the Machine|End of Line}}. | Though Philomon is at first shocked by Rachel's close resemblance to Zoe Graystone, he quickly reciprocates the attraction, stating that he believes Zoe Graystone "had principles".
