They can you know, love I mean." He had to smirk. Once he'd questioned a machine's ability to feel emotions, but now he had no doubts. He loved. He loved Mirta and their child completely, even if he was a machine. "It raises so many questions. How in control are the Cylons? Are there secret programs? And can they be removed without damaging the Cylon?"
