This entire arc of events involving the Cylons hinges upon both an act of high-level corporate espionage, multiple murder, and now extortion and revenge. And I'm far form convinced that the timing of the bombing on the part of the boy and the stealing of the chip are or were incidental. For soem rason I suspect some connection, either directly or indirectly, between Zoe's old teacher and Graystone. I know she targeted the mother, but I suspect she knows far more about the father.I think I do. the Cylons will need human assistance, both to eventually rebel, and sources of encouragement to be autonomous enough to rebel. If I had to guess I'd bet the boy is either killed accidentally by Cylon action, or is killed intentionally by human action which precipitates a rebellion by involved Cylon leadership. However he may also go underground and help lead the rebellion.In any case I think we now know the basis of the Cylon download capabilities.A much improved future version of the Swipe Drive. Capable of operations at a much greater distance, and I would suppose capable of near instantaneous dual-directional interface.  The technological precursors are interesting devices, but also aimed at what I call God Technology (technology that in one way or another emulates capabilities previously ascribed only to God). Everytime I see things like this employed on the show I cannot help but think of Adama's admonition at the end of BSG that man should start all over again on Earth "without all of this stuff..."In this series "the stuff" is simultaneously both the basis of all man is capable of achieving, and the Serpent in the Garden he has made with his own hands.In this other world of man the serpent is made of Machine, and the Ghost in that machine is a sort of uncertain and unstable haunting.</blockquote>
