The Hybrid:  The excited state decays by vibrational relaxation into the first excited singlet state . Yes , yes , and merrily we go . Reduce atmospheric nitrogen by 0.03% . It is not much consolation that society will pick up the bits . Leaving us at eight modern , where punishment rather than interdiction is paramount . Please cut the fuse . They will not harm their own . End of line . Limiting diffusions to two dimensions increases the number of evolutionary jumps within the species . Rise and measure the Temple of the Five . Transformation is the goal . They will not harm their own . Data - font synchronization complete .
Number Six: The Hybrid is clearly telling us something .
Brother Cavil: The Hybrid is always telling us something . They are supposed to maintain operations on each ship , not vomit metaphysics . All right . I give up . What ? What is she trying to tell us ?
Lt. Sharon 'Athena' Agathon: They 're in the Colonial Fleet with the humans .
Brother Cavil: They ? They who ?
Leoben Conoy: The Final Five .
Number Six: The Raiders refused to fight because they sensed the Final Five might be in the Colonial Fleet .
Leoben Conoy: They could have been caught . They could be in hiding .
Brother Cavil: No , wait , stop . Stop right now . Turn around . Go and take a cleansing walk . And I 'm gon na try and forget what I just heard .
Number Six: The Final _ Five _ , Cavil , they are near ! This is far too important .
Leoben Conoy: What their eyes must have seen , witnessed over time .
Lt. Sharon 'Athena' Agathon: Do they look anything like us ?
Brother Cavil: That 's enough ! Do n't you realize what you 're doing ? You 're openly discussing the Final Five . THAT 'S FORBIDDEN ! You 're toying with our survival . Look at yourselves . Look , there 's millions of Twos who have that nose . Millions of Sixes possess that mouth . Eights share those breasts and Ones have this brain . We 're mechanized copies . There 's a reason the original programmers clearly felt that it 's a mistake for us to contact the Final Five !
Number Six: No .
Brother Cavil: Violating that programming threatens our survival !
Number Six: Something has changed .
Brother Cavil: Thoughts have changed . Yes , they change . The Raiders changed . That 's where all this started , with them . Somehow they exceeded their programming , and unlike us , they ca n't correct themselves . So we 're gon na have to do it for them .
Number Six: Do what ?
Brother Cavil: We 'll reconfigure their neural architecture , and shave down their heuristic responses .
Leoben Conoy: Dumb them down ? Lobotomize them ?
Brother Cavil: They 're tools , not pets . But in any case , it has to be done .
Number Six: Says who ?
Brother Cavil: Says God almighty , the voice of reason , that 's who ! When are you gon na hear it ?
Number Six: You do n't have the authority to make any change without a majority vote .
Brother Cavil: Well , we 'll vote . The Fours and Fives will be on my side .
