Summary
The RK800 line was a prototype, it wasn’t meant to last. When Connor-60 was repaired and sent out to the SWAT team, it was only a temporary stopgap to fulfil a contract until the RK900 line was back in production after the revolution. Nobody had anticipated it taking so long. It was just enough time for relationships to form, Sixty to fall in love and for his parts to start breaking out. It had been small, easy to hide glitches first. But when he came out of stasis without knowing how to operate his terminal, it was impossible to hide it anymore. As things got worse and repairs were prohibitively pricey, news of his replacement arrived. He was issued with a recall, to be studied and decommissioned while his still functional parts could be used by more important RK800 models for their own repairs.

Summary
It's months before Connor realizes that the damage to his regulator never fully repaired from when it was torn out and thrown across the room. It's months more before he realizes how hard it is to live with system damage that just gets worse, and worse, until he can barely work, or smile, or think-
But it's fine. He doesn't need to ask New Jericho for a replacement part. Really.
He's fine.

Summary
Markus has been missing for 33 days and Connor pushes himself to the breaking point to find him. Hank is there to pick up the pieces, but even after Markus is found, things are still far from okay.
CyberLife wants to regain control of their machines, and though Connor is willing to do whatever it takes to make sure they don't succeed, they have a new tactic that may make it difficult.
Meanwhile, life seems normal for Markus, but every now and then, something feels a little…off.

Summary
After the Android Uprising of 2038, humans and deviants alike settled in a somewhat peaceful society over the course of the year. Many androids helped each other pick up the pieces of their damaged hearts and minds and in doing so found solace in each other, like Connor and Markus did as they grew intimate in a matter of months. Life in New Jericho was good, the leaders were more serene than they could've ever dreamt to be a year ago, and it seemed that all the threats they'd had to face had stayed trapped in the past. Unfortunately, the past has a manner of reaching out when one least expects it.
