I think regardless of my mission, we should keep close.
I do need to learn from you. That's what I was meant to do from the start. But given the circumstances and everything that's changed in this case, I think an...alliance would be wise.
[close enough. maybe. sorta.]

Mm, no not an alliance.
Why not a friendship?

Do you still have that internal monitor here? I would have thought all that would have cut off being here instead of Detroit. Not that I want to give this scum of the earth city any kind of silver lining, but…this might be your chance.
( her feelings about connor are as complicated as his deviancy journey, it seems, but ultimately she wants him to deviate. of course she does, it’ll make thing much easier on all of them – but it’ll give them another ally, too. a true ally, not the close approximation they’re currently working with.
he’d helped markus save her life. that’s the connor she wants, not the “machine”. )
I wish you wouldn’t be truthful sometimes, honestly. You realize that puts us at odds, right? The last thing I want is for CyberLife to learn enough about us to quash deviancy, to end the revolution before we have the chance to even fight for our freedom. I just want to be free, Connor. Is that really wrong?
( …. )
Thanks.

No. I mean...I'm not sure. So far I've had no contact, but there's still a high enough statistical likelihood that it's simply dormant or capable of activation again. And if that were to happen, they'll still want my progress.
[that surprises him though. simon and hank both had knowledge that north didn't>]
Apparently...you do succeed. You earn your freedom. Simon and Lieutenant Anderson have both shared information indicating as much. And I know I supposedly provide the ranks to help you do so--I just.
I don't know if I can promise that again.

It's alright. We'll get there.
Uneven footing may not be the most stable start to a friendship, but it's a start.

hey asshole, they not turned you into scrap yet?
Okay.
Everyone needs to start somewhere.
[and they usually do that by offering up some piece of information as a token. a way to bond.]
That’s what I’ve learned from one of the relationships I’ve developed over the course of my mission. With—a human. His name is Lieutenant Anderson.

A working relationship?
Is he here with you too?
Is he here with you too?
Yes. He's a decorated Lieutenant with the Detroit Police Department. We've been assigned all cases involving suspected deviants for investigation.
He's here. So is his dog. I offered them both a place to stay seeing as I have little use for it myself. It only seemed fair.
[cue simon realizing the only way to do that is if hank is a sub and there's a contract in place in 3....2....1....]

Ah. So I assume he doesn't think highly of us deviants then?
Then you're contracted? It does sound convenient for you both, since you already have a relationship. Easier than finding someone here you won't know as well.

Actually...he encourages it, now. There was a difficult start, but he played a pivotal part in allowing my future assistance to come to fruition. I may not remember it, but the way he tells it? I only found Jericho because of him.
Yes. It seemed like the easiest option to continue our progress together and ensure his safety. It's much more difficult for the humans, I think.
Is there anyone you've considered? You have the advantage, like me.

[Simon would consider Connor finding Jericho a double edged knife. Yes he came to them and was brought to their side which helped in the end... but a lot of their people died in the raid on Jericho too.]
I'm glad he wants you to be your own person, Connor. I think I'd like to meet him sometime, even if our relations with police haven't been good.
And no, not yet, but I would like to contract someone soon. If not multiple. It only makes sense I help others if I can, there's no need for anyone to be in the Down if all of us Dominants contract people.

Hey Connor. Just checking in with you. How have you been?
No it's fine. I'm...I've been better, but that's neither here nor there.
What do you mean by gone?
What do you mean by gone?
Maybe...you don't need to worry about me right now.
Was it fatal?
Was it fatal?
I don't think I'd call those feelings errors or malfunctions, Connor. I'd call it depression.

I don't think that's what I'd call it. Depression is a mental illness suffered by humans under an extended duration of sadness, most frequently described.
It's a lot to ask, but--do you think you might be able to have a look at my code? There must be something wrong with it. Otherwise, I can't diagnose where this...sensation is coming from.

Didn't know you were a doctor.
[Of course he doesn't get it, he shouldn't have expected him to. One didn't have to have depression to feel depressed. But there's no need to argue over semantics right now.]
Sure, I don't mind. Send over your location and I'll be there shortly.
