Detroit: Reborn (DBH Fanfic)

Ch.1-Rebooting Life

~Jericho Church: December 2nd, 12:34 pm~

No one expected Detroit to turn out better when the revolution just ended, but everyone was hoping some things would change. Androids have their freedom, but since the rebellion there was also casualties caused from it and the treaty for androids and humans were that androids should live like humans. This wasn't an outrageous request, but with many people still angered or scared from the most recent events it would be complicated. Markus maintained the androids safe until jobs were given out, several of them were lucky enough to find parts at the junkyard, but due to the treaty finding jobs were a little shortcoming. Some humans liked the androids and volunteered to help take care of them and find job opportunities, but other humans were still paranoid over the thought of androids taking jobs. The sanctuary, the church that was found after the destruction of Jericho, was the only place the androids had peace.

Markus was currently going through the status of androids with North, figuring out how much thirum was needed along with bio-components. "The junkyard doesn't have spare thirium, and Cyberlife is going through legal trouble and refused to give us anything."

North looked to Markus for his reaction, only hearing a sigh from him. Markus looked over to the androids who were talking or helping one another with their parts. "We need to find jobs and we also need parts..I believe I should contact Connor."

"Connor? Why the deviant hunter?" North asked, it wasn't that she hated Connor but she still had misgivings since the fall of Jericho.

"He may still have ties to Cyberlife. It wouldn't hurt to check." Markus replied and stared off into space as he contacted Connor.

The DPD was busy with new calls and reports on violence between androids and humans, on top of that there is open investigations on red ice deals that cause the police to be flooded with work. Hank was looking through the file of the red ice epidemic, being a detective to help catch the last drug ring, and Connor was looking at the screen to catch up on the android cases. Fowler wanted Connor to focus on the androids seeing that he had more of a connection to the newly freed people.

Connor, who was sitting at his desk in the DPD, receiving the call from Markus, and his LED flickered for a moment as he replied. "Hello Markus, It's been a while."

"A couple weeks if I recall." Markus replied. "Connor, do you happen to still have a connection to Cyberlife? We need thirum and parts until the androids find stable jobs."

"Since I became deviant I'm not sure. But I will attempt in negotiating with them." Connor replied.

"Thank you, let me know how it goes." Markus spoke then ended the call before looking to North. "Let's go see what we can do in the meantime."

Connor blinked for a moment before returning his gaze to his computer screen, but glancing over to Hank's desk he tilted his head to look at his partner. "Hank is something wrong?"

"Can you not talk out loud on a call?" Hank grumbled, looking at Connor with slight disturbance. "It looked like you were talking to the goddamn air."

"That would be nonsensical, how could I reply to a call with someone and not speak?" Connor replied in confusion.

Hank groaned and leaned back in his seat, averting his eyes to his own screen. "Never mind just, could you look more natural? Just not staring off into the distance like a creep?"

Connor was still new to deviancy and didn't follow the pattern of deviancy as other androids did. He nodded and looked back at his screen, but contemplated about what Hank was talking about. In the last couple weeks he had moved in with Hank since Cyberlife had to cut ties with any androids to deal with the public's ridicule. Standing up he looked at Hank. "Lieutenant, I need to go to Cyberlife for information."
