Better known as the "Deviant Hunter"

Connor was assigned his first case, a hostage situation in which he would be the negotiator. As the elevator rose to the top floor he rolled a quarter on his knuckles. He paid no attention to the coin, doing the trick smoothly. He tossed it over to his other hand, over and over. The coin flying

back

and

forth,

over

and

over.

The coin was caught perfectly between his middle and index fingers. The elevator opened at the exact same moment, as if it were synced with his quarter. As he stepped off, a middle-aged woman grabbed him by his shoulders, seeming relieved that someone was here.

"Please, you've got to save my little girl!" she said through tears. The moment didn't last long, as she saw the blue LED on the side of his head.

"You're sending an- an android!" she said in disbelief. Slowly, she removed her hands from around him and stepped back in shock. The officer escorting her out pulled her away from him and started to escort her off the crime scene.

"You can't do that! Why aren't you sending a real person!"

"Don't let that thing near her!"

She shrieked from the elevator, screaming in desperation. Connor was unfazed, and proceeded to his mission. He scanned the room and found who he was looking for, Captain Allen.

"Captain Allen? My name is Connor. I'm the android sent by CyberLife." Connor stated his programmed greeting in a seemingly emotionless tone.

The Captain seemed annoyed by the android's presence, but explained the situation to his negotiator.

"They're on the edge of the balcony. If it falls, she falls." He said.

Trying to determine the best approach to the situation, Connor asked the captain about the deviant android's name and behavior, but he just ignored.

"Listen, saving this kid is all that matters. So either you deal with this fucking android now, or I'll take care of it." Captain Allen demanded.

To accomplish his mission, he would need more information than what the captain had offered him. Connor searched the house for anything he could use to help settle the negotiation.

He searched the corpse of the hostage's father, and found a tablet lying next to the victim. The tablet showed that the family had ordered a newer model of the deviant.

“ Deviant was going to be replaced „

Connor's LED flickered from blue to yellow for a moment to process the information he had learned. It retured to it's normal steady blue color as he started to walk towards the hostage's bedroom.

Headphones blaring the child's music were left on the floor when the deviant rushed her to the balcony, she didn't know what was going on.
