    Summary

    The cool Detroit winter breeze. The obnoxious light from the club’s sign. Loud music. Big brown eyes that take on all the light’s colors and make them their own. A soft smile, a breathy laugh. Hands tucked into the pockets of a long coat. Boots strolling down the sidewalk, crunching in the thin layer of snow. Three shots of vodka apiece. Soft hands with long, delicate fingers.

    These are the things that Markus can remember from that night. Healing, like incense. Strengthening, like sunlight.

    Markus could paint it, if he could just relearn how.

    Summary

    That was him. That was what defined him. Android, RK800, deviant hunter, detective for the DPD. A machine, a deviant, two sides of a coin. He was both, he was all, he was the worst parts of what either side thought he was. He was deviant, a blight on CyberLife’s radar, a machine to the people of Jericho.

     

    He was both, and he was drowning.


    In which Connor wraps up a case, has a dream, and visits a friend.

    Summary

    “Lieutenant?” Connor asks. His voice, at least, sounds closer to normal. Subdued, sure, but nothing like I’m okay or I felt it die.

    “You look like shit,” Hank repeats. Because it’s easier than trying to address the obvious trauma the deviant-hunting android beside him is trying to process.

     

    Connor is traumatized by the death of Simon at the Tower. And, Hank? Hank has a long-overdue epiphany.

    Summary

    Another winter, another snow, another murder. Nothing new in Detroit. But Connor suddenly going catatonic in the middle of the crime scene? Yeah. That's new; even if the fear in Hank's gut isn't.

    Summary

    The chassis emulating Connor’s eyelids opens, but it takes him a moment longer than usually acceptable (specifically, 2.94 milliseconds later than the estimated time of his wake from stasis) for his actual ocular examination systems and visual scanning programs to properly reboot and start their normal processes. His sensors pick up the barking of a relatively old and overweight Saint Bernard, and on epidermis belonging to a fifty-three year old male covered in water droplets containing traces of ammonia, urea, and salts, bathed under bright electromagnetic radiation visible to the human eye in the color associated as red—

    Connor gulps in air that isn’t there. 

    He can’t breathe. 

    He can’t breathe.

    connor has a nightmare. (the lieutenant is woken up.)
