    Summary

    Markus dropped like he’d been shot. He had been shot.

    Hadn’t he?

    He looked down. His systems were intact. He realized the police hadn't fired their weapons at all.

    >INITIATING OVERRIDE SHUTDOWN.

    Override shutdown? Was that a thing?

    Shards of the red command wall he’d broken tore raw through his system. The moment he chose when he shouldn’t have been able to, and pushed Leo back. Even as each process forcibly winked out, he felt freer than he ever had in his recorded memory. It was like waking from a dream.

    Then everything went black.

    -

    If Markus didn't get shot by the cops in "Broken," and Hank and Connor started investigating him instead of Kara in "Waiting For Hank..." An excuse to re-imagine scenes with different characters and outcomes.

    Summary

    “Life at Jericho Mental Health Facility wasn’t as bad as Hank had thought it would be. Sure, the ceiling was more watermarked than it strictly should be, the main TV was old and staticky, and some of the patients made Hank raise both eyebrows, but it had its charm.”

    Summary

    “You're not in a position to disappear again if this goes bad.” Markus' words were personal. His gaze was intent, almost protective.
    The command was implicit: Don’t leave me to clean up another one of your messes alone.
    The words left Connor’s mouth with difficulty, “I won’t.”
    "You already did,” said Markus.


    Detective Connor and Lieutenant Hank Anderson's investigation into the deaths of two android-rights activists sparks a personal crisis for Connor. Forging a fragile connection with Markus, Connor must confront hidden truths that undermine his role as a detective and force him to question his very identity.

    Summary

    Begins early game, a few days after Carlos Ortiz's android was found and diverges from canon.
    The DPD didn't have a hell of a lot of funding, and Connor was a prototype. It made sense. Defective or not, it had basically been free if you didn't count the headache of dealing with it. It acted almost human some times, but no sane human had so little sense of self-preservation. The arrangement was good for Connor too, because he'd never seen more of the outside world than a rooftop apartment and the pavement below it.

    Summary

    and when you said to me, "we're fighting for your freedom, too," were they empty words, meant to stay my hand?

    when you spoke your words so carefully, firm yet soft, were they meant to appeal to the instability within me?

     

    or: markus executes connor in night of the soul, and connor thinks back on their exchange.
