Cybernetic Living Organism

Hello, Mr. Thompson, we wanted to ask you a question regarding the meaning of the word "Cylon".

When we began getting reports and such about the proposed spin-off "Caprica", amongst them was the news that we would learn what the word "Cylon" meant by the end of the pilot. Amongst this information we got a partial name, and then later on more was revealed: "Cybernetic Living Organism". However, we do not know if it is truly the one you, the writers, intend to use, or if it was just a rumor. Is "Cybernetic Living Organism" the canonical origin behind the word "Cylon", or was this just a rumor/old version?

Thank you for your time. --Sauron18 15:02, 6 July 2007 (CDT)

The Battlestar Concordance from the original series doesn't document the etymology. Ron D. Moore's "Caprica," has a character coin the term, saying, "A cybernetic life-form node, a Cylon." But as "Caprica" has yet to go before cameras, there is yet no "official" version. - Ngarenn 13:39, 20 September 2007 (CDT)

Thanks Bradley. --Mercifull ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 03:04, 21 September 2007 (CDT)
