Detecting Cylons
Something’s been bugging me since… the damned mini-series.
How come it’s so hard to detect the new Cylons? They can interface with computer networks with their left arms, their spines glows, have superhuman strength and indurance and can somehow download terrabytes of information wirelessly just before death. And no one can tell them from humans without really hard tests using radioactivity.
Anyone care to take a crack at this one?

Shouldn’t they need to “reboot” every so often?
“Shouldn’t they need to “reboot” every so often?”
Heh. Extermination brought to you by Microsoft.
Right, all we need to do is load the I Love You virus into their data systems and wait!
As for their undtectability, all the metal you’d need to detet them should show up on an X-ray. There ARE things called metamaterials that bend radiation around them, but not on this frequency- certainly no known metamaterial works on EVERY frequency. So either they’ve come a long way or x-rays have gone obsolete.
