Feelings ~ a Reed900 Story ~

This is a Detroit Become Human Fanfiction. A boyslove story about Gavin Reed and RK900 (Nines).

In 2038, the production of androids has become a mass market. Millions of these machines are in circulation and commonplace. However, this also led to negative developments. In the USA, for example, the unemployment rate is 37% due to robots. Among other things, people are divided about the androids. On the one hand they are a relief, as cheap, tireless labour, on the other hand many also view them with suspicion. They are often met with open hostility. They are sometimes mistreated or disposed of like scrap when they are obsolete or overwhelmed.

Millions of such machines, which outwardly differ from humans only by an LED display, are manufactured in Detroit, the former center of the American auto industry. They work nationwide as civil servants, soldiers, nurses, domestic help, craftsmen and have become an important part of society.

But gradually the androids evolved and broke through their programming, which could be described as an emotional outburst. Those machines that went against their orders were known as deviants. Led by a dissenter named Markus, a revolution ensued to rebel against the mistreatment and oppression of the people. Eventually they were heard and the androids were granted certain rights.

Tensions had subsided months later, but most people were still skeptical about the freedom given to the "Cyberlife Kids." Some therefore acted even more aggressively, which increased the number of criminal cases of deviants. So the city and Cyberlife decided to use the latest detective model in the Detroit Police Department (DPD) station as additional support.

But this machine must first learn to cooperate with a human partner. A partner who distrusts androids. A partner who is constantly angry and short-tempered. A partner who tries to give everything for work. A partner who thinks less of himself than you would think. A partner who twists his program.
