Life Finds A Way (A Detroit Become Human Fanfiction)

Chapter 17: Human 2.0

The Next Day at the Police Station

They were surprised. He could hear so many of the androids talking straight at him, not opening their mouths. Connor ignored all the feedback from them and concentrated on Kara in the station with Detroit Blue. Everyone from the talk host Diane to former expert Cyberlife engineers, to the world's brightest scientists.

The humans were posing no threat. They were getting and giving feedback amongst themselves too.

"Brilliant, Connor," Hank congratulated him. "This could have turned out so bad if she stayed hidden."

"I know," Connor admitted. "Humans only fear what they don't understand." Even the people there who had been the most on edge were relaxing. The more they knew about Detroit Blue, the better it had become. Soon, it should hopefully reach a point everyone cared for him as much as any other regular android. The scientists and engineers informed the public, and even spoke to some of the celebrity visiting hosts the best they could. The substance that Kamski had used was determined to have slow growing properties. The intelligence that they found on the inside, and what could occur according to their data, was surprising.

The biggest surprise though, was Kara. She wasn't taking it as well.

"She okay?" Hank asked Connor. "She's been pretty quiet."

"She isn't happy with some of the findings," Connor admitted to Hank. "She will be okay. I will talk to her once the crowd dies down."

"What's she not happy about?" Hank said almost in shock. "Things couldn't have turned out better! Hell, she'll probably be just fine to stay with you now instead of being at the department soon."

"The . . . humanity of it." Connor didn't say anything else until the crowd got smaller. He moved closer to her, while the crowd was staying away a distance, sharing more of their findings with each other. "Are you okay, Kara?"

She kept Detroit Blue near her, but her expression wasn't happy. It's not fair.

Connor still had a ton of feedback he was ignoring from all the other androids around there, but he tuned in especially to talk to her. He is safe and you were never decommissioned. I think that's relatively a positive scenario.

Connor, Kamski won. She wiped fluid from her eye. He did it, he created the Human 2.0. Even without him or his genius, this was all designed to just work. He made it work. Detroit Blue is . . .

Special. The first of many. Connor tried to hold perspective. "I know what you don't like."

"All of it."

But there was something in particular she really didn't. Connor, Kara, and Alice all arrived at the station early. They didn't even take a day to relax and then tell the media because they needed help.

Detroit Blue may have been blue, but he was not taking blue blood. He had cried for something but they didn't know what he wanted. They needed the top engineers and scientists to figure out the mystery.

Blue blood was a limited supply material and Kamski had not designed it to want it. It lubricated itself with different oils, from easily found human foods. It even had an interesting internal system similar to that of a trash compactor, where it could straight eat the food, get rid of the wastes, and take what oils it needed. In other words, it ate human food.

He also had a temperature indicator, and it was revealed he was most comfortable when he was around the human temperature. He didn't respond to much hotter temperatures well and he did poorly near cold temperatures. Holding a cold stick near him made him start crying. He thrived in human temperatures.
