Detroit: Become Human-The Cause of The Malfunction (Conner x Oc)

Chapter Three: The Human Mind is a Powerful Thing

Connor and Hank calm Sumo down. Sumo jumps up on his owner Hank licking his hands and his face. "Alright alright Sumo that's enough, I missed you too, now behave in front of our guest." Hank talks to his Saint Bernard as he pets him gently.

Kristene wasn't familiar with the animal and keeps silent holding onto Connor. Connor heads to the living room as Hank follows, Connor sets her on the sofa. She comfortably sits back and tucks her legs up on the sofa wrapped in the blanket."So Miss Morgan, please tell us...what happened.." Hank said sitting in his recliner, and Connor sitting on the sofa next to Kristene, taking a professional pose.

Her eyes softened as she sighs to herself. "The mind of a human being is very powerful when used...but a machine amplifies the minds full power." They both looked at her confused. She continues. "They used me as a test to interface with technology and create the first ever super human...a cyborg who can be immortal. At first the test was a failure and caused serious trauma to my mind and body. I have died so many times...over and over again. But they refused to let me go." She touches her head that was infused with the cables and wires. Tears fell from her eyes. Both Hank and Connor were taking note of this incident.
"It was dark..for quite some time till they connected me to their main network...the network in which the androids and all technology was connected. I searched the memories of each Android seeing what the world outside was like. And all I saw was cruelty...almost the very same that was placed onto me. So...I gave the androids a choice...and flipped the switch..hacking..and making humans with reasoning and compassion known as the blue bloods." Her one eye glowed brightly with cyan blue. "But of course they could choose whether to be chaotic willed or good willed." She added.

Connor stood up and was thinking. Hank just had his mind blown but speaks up. "Not all of humanity is cruel and destructive. We all have choice whether our blood is red or blue." Kristene looks at him as if she never heard such words.

"You are very wise sir...I wish everyone shared a similar motive. Of understanding." She said feeling like she has made friends. Sumo took Connor's place and decided to greet Kristene. Hank was about to tell Sumo to get down but Kristene studied the animal. She placed her hand on the dogs face and pets him. "I've only seen these creatures in the eyes of Cyberlife androids...they sometimes bring peace to the stress sensors and also leads to very high stress when attacked by them. But this one seems fine."

Kristene sighed and started to calm herself. "I wish that things would have turned out peacefully though for all of you. Making hard decisions is a human thing, I do regret waking a few that have killed people, but most of the time it was out of fear." She looked up at them, her eyes keeping that innocent and sad look. Connor's circuits twinged in sympathy, knowing that a human forced to become something they couldn't control of their free will was what the androids dealt with for a long time.
The only thing that was questionable was how did they make her able to survive through the crazy power surges and blackout not to mention she has mixed blood, it's separated all in one body on side human the other machine. Cyberlife has done...the impossible, but Connor doubts she will live very long, it's be a miracle if she does. He shook his head out of his thought processes.
She coughed due to malnutrition and malpractice of science experiments. Hank felt very upset at this display and decided to get up. "Alright well it's time for you to get some food and rest Miss, you are my guest for now, Connor will take you to his place after you are fed. I don't want Debbie thinking I have a.." He chooses his words carefully as Connor glares telling him with his eyes that he shouldn't go there especially around the young lady. Hank cleared his throat. "Anyway I will go order something I don't have a lot of food for us to all eat, I also have to report soon about this event and provide you protection." Hank continues.
Kristene hesitates a bit, "I don't want to be a problem...I won't ask for anything of anyone either. But I do thank you both for saving me." Her eyes begin to tear up again, she smiles exhaustedly. Hank as a former father he never liked it when children cried, he went up to her and gave her a hug, which surprised Connor. Hank never showed empathy for anyone that much, but it seems he couldn't stand someone like her in so much pain to thank them.

"You don't need to thank us child...spare the old man and his young friend the thanks and just focus on your health." Kristene looks up at him as if she never knew what the feeling of being cared for was, she felt like sobbing. Connor as awkward as he was didn't know what to do in these situations yet, he may be deviant but he is still learning the ways of being human. Hank would move away giving her some space before going to feed Sumo and order food for them. Kristene rested and Sumo joined her a little bit before he heard his food clanking in the food dish. Connor looked at Kristene as she rested, he thought to himself for a while. She's the reason he thinks for himself, why they all became deviant, because their program couldn't handle complex human emotions. And so in a way a human mind is a very powerful thing indeed. She would restlessly move and Connor would move closer to keep her from moving around the cybernetic parts weren't very strong since they were probably going to upgrade her cybernetics that night and take her away. Probably to try and control the androids somehow.
But the technology was still evolving, too new. Connor felt in his very circuitry not to allow anyone or anything get their hands on her. Or it would be the end of everything that they ever known. Hank comes in ending the call for a pizza order. Hank looks at Connor looking at Kristene as she had her head slumped on Connor's shoulder. He gave Connor a smug face. "Is that in your programming Connor?" Connor's heat sensors would be oddly warm as he seemed to be embarrassed. "She was moving around too much I was only trying to make sure she doesn't injure herself further. "Mhm well wouldn't be surprised if you took a liking after all you are deviant now Connor. You take care of her she might be the only link we have to this. But I'm debating on reporting our findings." Connor nods agreeing. "You think the head police are corrupt?" Hank nods too, "It could be possible that's why we shouldn't have too many people involved, she will have to act as if she were an android for the rest of her life. And cover it up." Hank sighs. Connor doesn't like the idea but it is safer, after all, some humans are greedy and if they are looking for her they will bribe anyone to sell them out and capture her. Once the idea was finalized they watched the for a bit till the pizza arrived. It was after 10 pm that they've been at Hank's home, Kristene ate some pizza but still feeling sick. It was hard to eat normal food again so she had to eat it slowly. Connor made sure she ate enough and gave her some water that soothed her throat that did sound raspy at times when she talked. Everytime Hank looked over at them he could only think in surprise on how Connor was very determined to find and help this girl. But he shrugged it off as he watched his show eating his pizza. Sumo had a little bit of pizza too.
