Blue. [DETRIOT: BECOME HUMAN- CONNOR ]

Twelve

Connor's POV
My head burned hot as the interphase took a toll on my limited battery life. I blinked hard in an attempt to read the information speeding onto my circuits.

She sat inter-phasing with her computer in a nest of wires she had made around herself. If she could decipher this then she would have access to files worth more money than a years vacation. Which, to her, sounded like a dream come true. Not only would she have the most beautiful wedding imaginable, but she's buy a house, maybe even pay off Sarah's student loans. As Sarah reached her thoughts, Emily couldn't help but feel a twang if guilt in her hard drive. It had been their first real fight since she had proposed; It didn't sit right on her heart.

"Emily! Come quick!" Her thoughts were interrupted by Sammy from the other room.

Confused she stood and followed the sound of his voice to find the rest of her team staring in awe at a door that had seemingly appeared out of a blank wall in the old head of directors office.

"What is this?" She asked the group, who all seemed as baffled as she.

"I found it!" Said Cliff- our head hacker, who was very skilled especially for a human, "I recovered some old blueprints to the office, noticed a weird space and...-" She toned him out, distracted by the new room they had recovered. The walls were lined with semantics and sketches, even prototype parts. She admired it, but couldn't help but see the dollar signs on every item. Then her attention was quickly snagged by an android hanging on the back wall, almost complete. She gasped, as did her team.

"Is it dead?" Sammy asked a quiver in his voice.

"I don't think it was ever alive." Cliff concluded.

Dawn, a quiet, yet skilled hacker, walked up to it and placed her hand upon the RK900's cold chest. "Wow."

"Oh my god. Guys." Sammy muttered energetically, "What if we like.. switched him on."

Dawn turned, "Can we do that?" We all looked at Cliff.

He fiddled with his laptop a moment. "Yeah, yeah I think we can."

"Oh my god." Emily chuckled, "That's amazing."

"Oh my god!" Sammy repeated.

Cliff chuckled, "I'm working on rerouting the power now."

"Someones gonna get the honor of deviating him." Emily added looking at the android on the wall thoughtfully.

"Wow, you're actually right!" Sammy giggled jumping a bit on his toes.

"I call it!" Dawn interjected quickly.

"Oh really?" Sammy replied, his voice leaked playful attitude.

"What?! He is one hot piece of iron. I want to deviate him!" She answered smoothly.

Sammy broke into a fit of laughter, "gurl. You thirsty as fuck."

"Oh you're one to talk Sam!" She cracked a smile, "Remember the time with you and th-"

"We don't speak of that!!!" Sammy interrupted her loudly with a face full of embarrassment.

Emily chuckled watching the two bicker.

"Yo yo! I got it running guys!" Cliff stood from his laptop with his hands in the air triumphantly.

"Woo! Alright!" Emily gave him a high five and they all turned to the android hanging in the wall.

A few moments passed with nothing, then his eyes flickered open slowly, revealing two sky blue irises that shown against his pale skin.

Dawn jumped up happily letting her hand fade of color, she placed it on his shoulder. "Wake u-" she began but her arm was grabbed with raw strength by the new born and he twisted her arm until it snapped and dislodged.

"AF200- Model number: 22478651. Several malfunctions have been detected in your code including class four errors. You will be terminated immediately." He jumped down from the wall and grabbed her by the neck. He then looked up at the rest of the crew, who all looked on in horror.

Cliff suddenly snapped back to reality, "EVERYBODY RUN!!"

After that, she takes off running, down the hall and toward the elevator, she was almost there when he grabbed her from behind; he held her down and ripped open her chest yanking out part after part and crushing them in his hands.

He tosses her to the ground and she lays there limp. Cliff jumps out into the room, hoping to get the jump on the RK900. Cliff has a gun-where'd he get a gun? "Stand back!" He shouts, "Stand back! I'll shoot!" His hand quivers wildly and the RK900 doesn't not seem at all intimidated.

The RK900 turns and a fight begins, but her vision fades, the next thing she knows I am there holding her. —

I pull my hand away and my head is swimming in a heatwave. I furrow my brow and desperately try not to faint while I wait for it to pass.

"Well.. there you have it." Emily mumbles.

Sarah then chimes in, "Is there going to be charges against her?"

I didn't have the strength to answer at the moment. Thankfully Hank chimes in. "No, no Miss, I think with this will be enough." He walks over to the three of us. "I think that's all we need, right Connor."

I nod slowly.

"Alright, then we will leave you be." He stepped toward the door, I slid my feet to the floor and tried to focus on leaving the room. Hank eyed me as I shakily walked back to him and we stepped outside the hospital room.

"Are you ok?" Hank chimed in immediately as door shut behind us.

"Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine." I push past him walking ahead, "Just focused on the..." my vision spun and my ears became to ring. I grabbed onto the wall to steady myself, "O-on the..the"

"Connor??" Hanks asked his voice, loaded with concern, swam in a sea of distorted sounds that hit my ears in nonsensical waves.

"I..." I began but I couldn't finish; my legs buckled and locked underneath me, and my spastic code fired ones and zeroes like a madman. I couldn't keep up, this was stupid, I can't function like this! I'm melting. One final spark and my vision faded..
