Connor

Connor followed Hank into his house. The android shut the door as Sumo, Hank's dog, sauntered in to greet his master. Hank grinned and ruffled the dog's head. Sumo's tongue was hanging out as he panted. His tail wagged. Connor tilted his head, analyzing the dog. After a brief analysis, Connor concluded that the animal was joyful. Interesting. Hank noticed Connor staring and stood awkwardly.

"I'd welcome you but you already made yourself at home before…" Hank cleared his throat.

Connor shrugged innocently. "I thought you were injured and the entering through the window was the next plausible action at the time."

Hank scoffed and shook his head, "Whatever, you owe me a window." He pointed at the android. "It's going to be fucking freezing because of winter." Connor watched the human drop his keys on the coffee table before falling onto the couch. "Ahh! God, I missed this old piece of crap." Hank had his legs spread and turned on his television. Sumo wandered to the kitchen, the sound of the big dog slurping indicated to Connor that the animal was drinking water.

Connor scanned the area. He's been here before. There were pizza boxes, Chinese take-out boxes and empty bottles scattered throughout the house. The bookshelf was covered in dust. Connor almost couldn't see what color the wood was for the piece of furniture. Not to mention there was dog hair everywhere. Not a pleasant environment for those with allergies. But it was a comfortable home for a single man who is handling depression while working at the Detroit Police Department...And going to various bars each day.

"So…" Hank leaned forward after settling on a news channel. He rested his elbows on his knees and looked up at the still standing android."What are you going to do now?"

Connor's LED light turned yellow as he thought. What would he do? He could always go with Markus and help Jericho. The leader of this revolution was currently negotiating with the humans. Soon enough the rights and freedom of androids will be settled into a law. That was indisputable. Thankfully Jericho protested peacefully instead of using violent methods to attract the attention of the humans. It still left the problem of what the androids will do now. Job competition will be at its highest peak since the American Great Depression, in Detroit at least. Unemployment rates will go up, humans and androids alike will possibly live out on the streets. This ensured that homeless rates dramatically increasing.

Hank sighed through his nose, "That bad huh?" Connor's raised his eyebrows for an explanation, a common human expression that he found quite useful in adding to his body language database. Hank stared at the television, the news anchor was replaying the events that took place a few days before. Markus singing with the other deviants and Connor marching down the streets with thousands of androids from CyberLife. "You are taking longer to reply. Usually, you have a quick smartass comment. What's the holdup?"

Connor explained calmly, naturally hiding the newfound fear that coursed through his body, "The situation is difficult. Economically speaking, unemployment rates will go up as will the competition for jobs. There is a high probability of there being inflation due to the thousands of androids needing jobs to be able to financially secure their way of life."

"No shit, but what are you going to do now? I don't think CyberLife is too happy how you turned out at the end of all of this," Hank said.

"CyberLife...they could try to make profits to medically treat androids. But...If I am being honest, I do not believe that CyberLife will back easily from all of this. For sales, they will work with the androids in the eyes of the public of course."

"So what you're saying is that they might try to regain control of androids?"

Connor let out a deep breath and sat down across from Hank. His hand twitched with the desire to play with his quarter. "After the military backed down and Markus was delivering his speech...I lost control of myself," he said softly. He leaned forward, emotions erupting in his big eyes, "You do understand CyberLife designed me as a prototype, correct? Specifically designed to hunt down deviants, and perhaps human criminals in the future."

Hank hummed, "Yes…"

"They also planned for me to become deviant. So in my programming, they were able to control me again. And I was trapped. If Kamski did not mention there is a 'backdoor' or 'exit' out of his programs then I would have killed Markus and complete my mission."

"CyberLife planned that you fucked up?"

"Yes, and I was designed to be unable to not complete my mission. Luckily I was able to get out. But I fear that if I did not, even if I was disposed of, the official android they have designed would be released to end this revolution."

"A better, stronger android that would take out the deviant menace."

"Yes, and I have a-" Connor's LED light blinked yellow as he tried to find the proper words. He searched through his database.

"Feeling?" Hank supplied.

Connor nodded eagerly, "Yes, a feeling that androids, including myself, will not see CyberLife agree to our demands peacefully."

"Have you told Markus yet? The android leader?" Hank asked.

Connor recalled his memories and decided not to share specific information. "He was...busy."

Hank dropped the subject and decided to sit next to the android. "Well, for now...let's just focus on the little normal things. You got a place to stay?"

"Jericho was destroyed because of me...so no. But I can handle the temperatures and-"

Hank slapped Connor's back gently, "Ya can stay here with me. And since we have a new populace in Detroit, the police department need a new android recruit...I also kinda need my annoying ass partner?"

Connor read through the sarcasm and smiled. "Thank you, Hank. I think I will take you up on that offer."

Hank smiled, "Yeah yeah…"

Author's Note:

I loved this game, and honestly, Connor is my favorite! I love his relationship with Hank, that father/son vibe. I dunno when I'll do the next part. My inspiration will depend on if people like it and such. It's kinda boring writing for no one.

I do plan that each chapter is one of the three main androids. Just so they all get their spotlight because they are amazing!

Thank you so much for reading. I hope everyone wants more. Just let me know! Leave a like, comment or follow!
