| | '''Projection''' is the ability for [[Cylon agent]]s to visualize a synthetic reality around themselves. |
| '''Projection''' is a [[Humanoid Cylon|Cylon]] ability that allows them to consciously induce an extraordinarily realistic hallucination in the form of an artificial environment around themselves, which they can choose to share with other Cylons. | |
|
| |
|
| Cylons use this ability as a way to detach themselves of reality, and experience the world around them as they wish to, rather than how it is, serving as a psychological comfort.
| | Projection, as [[Caprica-Six]] calls it, is used by Cylons to easily make their way through the otherwise confusingly identical corridors of a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]]. |
|
| |
|
| Projection can also be used as a means to navigate the confusing hallways of a [[Basestar (RDM)|basestar]], and presumably other Cylon vessels as well, as hallways are uniform without discernible identification.
| | This ability is called into question by [[Gaius Baltar]], who strongly believes that he has been projecting a virtual [[Number Six]] (in the form of a doppelganger of Caprica-Six) as well as assorted comfortable environments, such as a beach or Baltar's former home on [[The Twelve Colonies (RDM)#Caprica|Caprica]] ("[[33]],"", et al.). |
|
| |
|
| Projection was first observed when [[Caprica-Six]] projects a lush green forest during a discussion with Baltar aboard the basestar. However, promotional photography and deleted scenes show [[Number Three]] projecting cathedral environments. In interviews, Matthew Bennett mentioned that the [[Doral]] model projects a nightclub.{{citation needed}}
| | Baltar, as a result of this information and the fact that only seven of the twelve Cylon agents are in use on a basestar, leads him to suspect that he, himself is a Cylon ([[Torn]]). |
|
| |
|
| The revelation of this ability to [[Gaius Baltar]] has made him suspect himself of being one of the [[final five]] Cylons, for it is undeniably similar to what he has been experiencing with [[Virtual beings#Baltar.27s Virtual Six|the virtual replica of Number Six]] which exists in his head, as well as various environments he has shared with her {{TRS|Torn}}. However, that may not had been a demonstration of native ability on the part of Baltar but Virtual Six's helping him, particularly since Baltar has been shown not to be a Cylon. It is possible any human could have the innate ability to project with the aid of a virtual being or by themselves through training of the mind.
| | Baltar apparently projects himself with his virtual Number Six on a beach, having sexual intercourse in order to block or distract himself from the effects of torture inflicted by [[Number Three]] for his omission in reporting a dangerous [[Lion's Head beacon|beacon]] found near the [[Lion's Head Nebula]] ([[A Measure of Salvation]]). |
| | |
| Later, with the help of Virtual Six, he apparently projects himself and virtual Six on a beach, where they engage in sexual intercourse in order to block or distract Baltar from the effects of torture inflicted by [[Number Three]] for his omission in reporting a dangerous [[Lion's Head beacon|beacon]] found near the [[Lion's Head Nebula]] {{TRS|A Measure of Salvation}}.
| |
| | |
| During [[Sharon Valerii]]'s second incarceration aboard ''Galactica'', she brings [[Galen Tyrol]] into a projection she created showing the two living an idyllic life on [[Picon (RDM)|Picon]] with a daughter named [[Dionne]]. When Valerii later escapes and kidnaps [[Hera Agathon]], Tyrol conjures up the projection by himself {{TRS|Someone to Watch Over Me}}.
| |
| | |
| Tyrol projects himself into a tranquil setting near a waterfall while incarcerated in ''Galactica'''s brig for helping Valerii escape ([[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]] extended version).
| |
| | |
| [[Hera Agathon]] has also demonstrated the ability to project and share projections. ([[Islanded in a Stream of Stars]])
