The researchers hoped that the hybrid VI, essentially a "computer program with a face", could become a similar kind of figurehead and thus give Cerberus complete control over all geth.
This was inspired by Cerberus' observations of Saren Arterius as a leader of the geth in the events leading up to the Battle of the Citadel. The VI itself was designed by Cerberus to exploit the religious tendencies of the geth. If it had escaped, potentially every electronic device in the galaxy accessible by the extranet could be subsumed and used by the VI against an unsuspecting populace. The VI attempted to leave Aite through the facility's communication dish, but the dish was destroyed by Commander Shepard. The VI overwhelmed David and the resulting hybrid essentially became a virus, which proceeded to take over the facility and used the live geth that had been acquired for the project to kill off the Cerberus staff in Hermes, Vulcan, Prometheus, and Atlas Stations. Gavin Archer's brother, volunteered for the experiment to meld his mind to a VI. The project was only partially successful.
