( god he even sucks the fun out of taking the piss )
So what is it that stops you, then? There's no CyberLife here Connor, there's no orders. What's stopping you?
Like it or not there's not many of us here, we have to stick together. Being irritating as hell doesn't mean I want you dead, I'm not a monster. Maybe that doesn't make sense to you though, maybe you still want to just kill us. Is that it?
I know what I am. I know what I’m meant to do. I don’t think you’d understand even if I tried to explain—and I don’t mean that in arrogance. I’m different, and so are my experiences compared to other androids.
But I don’t intend to kill you. I don’t think about it as something I would even like to transpire, if you can believe it.
What I mean to say is...I do think we share a connection. We are all androids, from Detroit...similar backgrounds in the wider context of other hostages here. It is beneficial for us to communicate.
And maybe I’d like to understand more about you. About any deviant.
I hope that isn't an attempt at some 'I can't deviate' bullshit because I know that's not true.
( the policy of refusing to discuss topics and/or people that annoy her means that north isn't actually sure if connor has been kept up to date on his missing future knowledge, but she's probably also the least concerned about the ramifications of a heavy handed approach – if north had a say markus would have deviated him already and been done with it. )
Don't 'intend to kill' me? Careful there Connor, that almost sounded sweet for a second there. I don't intend to kill you either, most of the time.
You want to learn about us. To help with your CyberLife issued mission, or because you're curious? Because quite frankly if it's the first I'll quite happily tell you where you can shove your mission, but...I can work with the latter. Can you set up that fancy little encryption so we can all use it, us Androids From Detroit?
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?
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.

he doesn’t FEEL north GOD
Oh. No, I would not use proud to describe it, but.....it is beneficial for you that it lasted. I would do it again, if you needed it.
May I ask—why do you care what becomes of me? Surely I’m not the only thing capable of repairs here.

does the word gentle even exist in her vocabulary

[do you have a tiny lady in ur head north? no? he didn't think so.]
I'm trying to be polite. My mission was never to kill deviants. It was to try and understand them.
[to correct it from happening again, but he won't add in the obvious.]
If I admit that it's both--that would be most truthful.
--Yes. It's done.
he is one (1) good boi

I don't know if I can promise that again.
