A Learning Experience (Connor x OC)

Chapter 1: Partners

November 5th, 2038 at 10:00 pm sharp a series of knocks rapped on the office door. The woman sitting at her desk got up from her chair to open her office door. She knew exactly who the knocker was, she had been expecting him for some time. Opening the door she was greeted with just the one she was expecting. The latest Android model RK800 stood in front of her standing perfectly straight with a diplomatic smile on its face.

"Good evening, Dr. Margaret. I received report on a new case that happened not too long ago. I was assigned to a Lieutenant Anderson at the Detroit Police Station, but I believe you are also accompanying me on this investigation."

She nodded in confirmation, " Yes, as one of the primary observers in CyberLife I'll be watching how you handle situations, if your systems are functioning properly, and how you interact with the others at the police station." She smiles with a glimmer in her eye, " I'm very excited to see how you perform, Connor."

He smiles back in return. "Of course, Doctor I look forward to working together and I promise we will accomplish our mission."

Human Diplomacy functional, she'll record that in her records later.

The two walked out together into the raining night towards the destination of the police department to find Lieutenant Anderson, a recognized detective from what she had researched from and hopefully, a good help for this investigation. But, their hopes of finding the Lieutenant were cut short when the android receptionist informed the pair that the Lieutenant had left his post about 2 hours ago and that he had left to go to get a "fucking drink" as the Android tried replicating in his words. So now instead of investigating the crime scene, it was a duo search party to find the detective in any of the bars nearby.

Bar after bar they searched became sleazier than the last, and at this point her patience was running thin, however kept Connor kept insisting to keep looking.

"This is absurd, Connor. We've been looking for this man for almost an hour! We could have been on the crime scene long time by the now."

"I understand Dr. Margaret, but Lieutenant Anderson is essential to my mission. I need to find him as ordered. If we don't find him in this last bar, then I am uncertain of what else to do," he responded.

They got out of the taxi to find themselves in front of a bar named simply 'Jimmy's Bar" and entered ignoring the sign saying 'No Androids'. She scoffed at the sign and it's meaning. What would an Android even be doing at the bar? It's a pastime of humans, not Androids. Androids don't have free time.

As they entered the rather small bar the patrons in it turned to face the bizarre pair that just entered, and their eyes were drawn to the Android with the LED and a human next to him with a white, pristine uniform and the loud letters spelling out CYBERLIFE. But neither cared what the patrons there thought, they simply cared about where Lieutenant Anderson was.

Connor observed all the people at the bar, scanning their faces to figure out who was Anderson and if he was even here. After finishing his scanning Connor walked over to a man sitting by himself, hunched over on a barstool almost as he was hiding away in plain sight and introduced himself to the Lieutenant.

"Lieutenant Anderson, my name is Connor. I'm the android sent by CyberLife. I tried looking for you at the station but nobody seemed to know where you were. They said you might be having a drink nearby. I was lucky to find you at the fifth bar."

Introduction protocol working perfectly she quickly typed on her tablet.

Connor continued explaining to the Lieutenant why he was looking for him, but the Lieutenant seemed in no rush to leave, and even less to get to know Connor. "Well, I don't need any assistance. Specially not from a plastic asshole like you," he said bluntly and he glanced over his shoulder to Margaret. "And who the fuck are you?"
