31 Nights of Frights
Ghosts in the Machine: Malice and Malcontent

Model number Six was the only one who'd had contact with the one they called the Son and Father of the humaniod Cylons. He was God's best and worst creation, had once thought himself the father of a new race. And in a way, through God's providence he was. Adam, the only model to have a name before any of the humaniod Cylons had been created, was a perfect blend of man and machine. But Number Six, in her own perfection knew that this gift from God was something to be feared.

Adam might be their father, but he was also their greatest fear. He was a thing of nightmares and awe. He was the greatest monster of them all.
