    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?
