Deviant Hunter of New Detroit- A Detroit: Become Human Fanfiction

Chapter 24: Busy Days of Good and Bad

Do not worry, as I said in the beginning, the main characters including Markus, don't die. Appearances are deceiving.

Hank moved toward his car to folllow with the others. As they started pulling out, they heard the sound of a gunshot. Hank stopped and got out with Connor.

Markus was no longer in the prison containment center. "Can't be," Hank said. He went toward his Chief with Connor. "Where'd Markus go? What was that gunshot?"

"He didn't get a chance to test," the Chief said. "There are certain models that are automatically supposed to be disposed of. The RK 200 was one of them."

No. "Markus was a prototype," Connor said, "there were no others like him."

"I'm just following the rules, Hank," his Chief said. "You better get going, and be fortunate it's over for you. I'm sure we'll have to be dragging androids off the street to get this done."

"Bullshit!" Hank criticized him. He looked toward Connor. "Network."

"Markus lead New Detroit." Connor had nothing else to say. It was obvious what was happening. When Kara saved Connor and gave the cure out, then it was outside of the Network's hands. Anyone could find out the cure, they made sure it could be well known quickly if anything happened. Since she singlehandedly ruined their eight year plan, they must have decided to go a different way. Be nice to the humans. Rule New Detroit, and slowly gain more access to advance technology the way they had been deceiving since the beginning. If they wanted New Detroit though? Markus.

"Let's go, Connor. Let's get the fuck out of here and not come back," Hank said coldly. He left the Chief's area and went back out to the vehicles.

"What was it?" Kara asked as Connor came back in and started the truck.

Connor didn't speak out loud, he connected through her AI for a private conversation. They killed Markus.

What?!

They labeled his model as being one that always turned. Markus was an RK 200, a prototype android model who serviced Carl Manski from Elijah Kamski himself.

He ruled New Detroit, Connor. The Network. Kara looked out the window as Hank continued to drive. They want New Detroit. Tons of androids with nothing to do. They'll use them to conjure up something new since I . . . Kara looked toward Connor. I'm to blame? They would have only turned so many, it was an injection.

Maybe. The Network has been working to appear favorable for years. Maybe some wasn't their intention.

You think they planned on tricking humans into thinking it was some kind of . . .

Healthy inoculation.

To the radiation, or something similar to it!

Yes. I don't know what they would use so many for. Perhaps I don't want to know.

Then me doing that, that wasn't just a bump in their plan, that was their whole plan. Markus is dead because I took the cure.

I believe that you are right, as painful as it is to say that. You were never supposed to know of that plan. I was the one who figured it out, and I only pushed because they upset me. If they had never taken you away, I would not have pushed, got Hank involved, and your experience would not have led you to grab it. He turned a corner. The decisions were personal, Tilly was trying to make us listen. Not something that involved leaders.
