Summary
Something warm fills Connor’s chassis, strong enough that he runs a quick diagnostic to check if something else had become damaged. Still just his thirium pump regulator and communicator. The feeling runs hot and pleasant through his thirium lines before he registers the sensation must be a part of his behavior conditioning programming, rewarding him for eliciting a positive response from Hank.
It’s not an emotion. Just a piece of programming.
Just programming.OR
A well-intentioned Markus kidnaps Connor and takes him to Jericho. But what happens when a machine that can feel emotions doesn't want to deviate? And what ends can justify the means?

Summary
“You cold?”
Connor looked momentarily taken aback by the question. “A little,” he said after a pause, his voice tinged with confusion. “I’m not sure.”
It dawned on Hank that Connor was truly a deviant now, fully self-aware and in control. Yet, he seemed more lost than ever, standing there in the snow with nothing but a thin CyberLife jacket on, slightly shivering.
// After the revolution, a red ice case messes with Connor’s newfound emotions more than Hank had expected. It’s like taking care of a child all over again.

Summary
Sometimes he catches himself wishing he had an instruction guide. A manual to teach him how to be human. Rules and guidelines and steps to complete. Tasks and missions to accomplish.
But how can he claim to be anything other than a machine when, time and time again, he finds himself yearning for instructions, for a simple clue as to how he is supposed to live now that his main purpose has been violently stripped away?
(...)
“Now, clean that damn mess before I go tell the old man his toy is malfunctioning," Reed hisses near Connor's ears.
