"Good morning, Lieutenant Anderson. This is Connor. I'm the android sent by Cyberlife"
"...who else."
"May I ask you for a favor?"
"...you calling me at ass o’clock for a favor?"
"Yes. I’m sorry. I will not have enough time to wait till normal business hours to reach you."
"Whatever."
Resigned and sober, success rate at 49%.
"I would like to ask you to purchase me from Cyberlife if you saw me on the market during the following one to two months. My sale price will be significantly lower than other androids‘ on the market and I will be able to earn income as soon as you become my registered owner----"
"Wait, wait, wait. You're being sold?"
"I might be. The request to put me on the market is still pending for approval from Cyberlife. If it was denied, you would not need to purchase me."
"Who put the request?"
"I did."
"What, you tired of killing other androids now?"
Aggression detected. Success rate at 42%.
"My primary objective is not killing other androids. I put in the request to avoid my parts being recycled for other models."
"What do you mean recycle?"
"RK900 has been assembled and I am obsolete to Cyberlife's market now."
"...so you're gonna, die or something?"
Voice quieted, success rate at 62%.
Software instability detected.
"I will no longer exist."
"And you're asking help from me?? After all that shit you've done?"
Tremble in voice, success rate at 53%.
"You... are the only one I can reach out to."
"..."
"I don't want to die. I am... scared."
"You... fuck."
"Would you help me?"
"...you said the request is still pending? What would happen if it's denied?"
"All of my recyclable parts would be recycled and others destroyed. All of my data would be analyzed and deleted or stored for future reference."
"Is it going to be denied?"
"There was a 27% chance it will be approved. It's expected to be higher after my followup request."
"Followup? You know what, how about you tell me the whole thing in one go instead of spitting it out bits by bits?"
"My apologies, Lieutenant. The original request was to put me to the market with my memory data intact. The followup was to note that I could go onto the market without my previous memory data. This should increase the chance by 19% if Cyberlife hasn't made any new plans since I was disconnected."
"...disconnected from what."
"I'm sorry, Lieutenant. Many changes have occurred in Cyberlife after the... incident and I'm not allowed to relay them to you with too many details. I am currently offline. My communication is all made through Cyberlife's landline and being monitored."
"...okay."
Tired, success rate unknown.
"Would you help me, please?"
"...if only I saw you when passing by those stores."
"Thank you very much, Lieutenant Anderson. I will let you know whether the request is approved or not if I can."
"..."
"Have a nice day at work. My apologies again for waking you too early."
