What does a Cylon do all day?

[lizardbeth]

I have Sammy stuck on the baseship for weeks and months during Ariadne now that New Caprica's been evacuated. He does pretty much have the run of the place, so he can do anything the Cylons are doing.

I've already used and/or considered:
- pyramid
- triad
- sex
- tai chi (naked and otherwise *g*)
- ?

Obviously the Cylons can project so that shifts a lot of their entertainment inward, but I'm sort of drawing a blank for something else he can do, especially WITH his Cylon buddies.

ETA:
Or in other words, cuz I am a lame-o and did not give direction, I'm looking for a group activity so I can have something going on in the background while all the Cylons talk politics, basically.

Do Cylons play Twister? Movie night? Charades? Baking cupcakes? knitting circles?

Penny for your thoughts?



Anyone?

You already used mine.
Sex.

Sorry.

Same thing they always do... to try to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Random thoughts here...

Do you have him interacting with all the Cylons? Because each one prompts different ideas in my head. I see him having a spiritual kind of friendship with the Eights, maybe just hanging out and talking about personal things. The Sixes, maybe him asking religious questions. Leoben, trying to figure out what the heck they're all about, and I can see him being fascinated with the fact that maybe Leoben's just crazy and how does that work if they're programmed to be this way? The others don't give me any vivid ideas, but I wonder if Simon or Doral would be interested in him and approach him. Or D'anna, for that matter.

He's not the Chief, but eventually I'm pretty sure he'd be curious about the Raiders and how they work. Maybe one of the Eights mentions that they have personalities, and he tries to communicate. Same with the Centurions maybe. And through Leoben, maybe the hybrid?

Sam's a very people-oriented person, so I see him being curious about life in general because of the people he talks too. He's also very identity-oriented, though, so I see a lot of soul-searching and self-discovery. Maybe testing Cylon strength and limits through different activities (sex and pyramid, yes please).

Group prayer meetings?

re the music brought up in another comment; well, Boomer was humming a song during season one to the raider Kara brought back. And songs traditionally are important to certain religious services, if I remember correctly. Are there any other priest than Cavil, you know, who actually believe in their God?

A random thought I had recently about the Cylon projection ability: Role Playing. Seriously, if they can put other people in their projections, then they can have a very entertaining shared live action role playing game, for those who are interested in that.

Any readers? People who have to maintain the ship? They must be doing something other than Plotting Doom.

Can the datastream act similar to the internet? People can be on the internet for hours...

That's all I can think of right now.

Hmmm, projection comes to mind when I think "Cylon group activity". Caprica projects a forest, D'Anna projects a cathedral, but what's really interesting is that Doral, according to a magazine interview, projects a nightclub. So a lot of possibilities there.

Silverblade's right about the live-action role-playing. Sam could project Kara out of thin air, or someone could even take on Kara's role in the projection. Not a group activity, of course.

Oh, your movie night idea. They could definitely watch old Pyramid games and other news. Doral could chime in about the corruption of society.

And I recall that Cylons take pictures.

I'll chime in again if something strikes me.

I'm sorry, I had this open as a tab and then rebooted and didn't realize until I caught your post via PoD from work...

Hrm.

The thing is... The thing is, we really don't know what the Cylons do, themselves, when they're not shooting people or punching humans, or arguing (only a few) around tables or in their CIC.

Do they have art of their own? Do they create anything? Sometimes, Cylons make me frustrated.

Maybe they play charades, or do group jogging sessions, or imagine they're all on Caprica...

Not strictly on-topic, but I've been thinking about the fact that if one of the Final Five had gotten his or her memories back before Revelations, he or she would have been able to tell Adama and Roslin that the search for Earth was pointless.
