Arrival Part 2 [Network Video]

[lickstheevidence]

[Now that Connor's been here for a minute and met a few people, he decides to try his device again.]

My name is Connor. I'm a recent arrival. I've met some of you already, but to those of you I haven't- hello.

[Short and to the point.]

I know a lot. I'm living with a human which, won't lie. I wasn't doing this time last year. I didn't want anything to do with humans after the shit they pulled at Jericho.

_{[York looks uncomfortable thinking about that. But he pushes the thoughts away and sighs just for the presentation of it, instead of actually needing to.]}

I have no idea why they chose me. I'm nothing like you or Markus. They could've brought someone else instead of me here. At least you've got detective skills and probably other shit, too. Markus is a good leader.

Don't worry about it. I shouldn't have been so harsh when I started talking to you. Habit, I guess. One I need to break out of my programming.

I can't say I blame you for that. Can I ask what changed?

[Connor is always uncomfortable about what happened at Jericho, but he's learned to ignore it, and like York, to push the thoughts away. He's not at the point yet where he's ready to examine them.]

There must be something about you, maybe something you've yet to discover about yourself. Or maybe it's all random. I don't know.

[Another rabbit to chase down a hole. Later. Sometime in the future.]

It's fine. I don't expect any less from other androids. I know what I did.

Lots of things. Watching and interacting with them - willingly and unwillingly sometimes. There's still 'bad' ones, but everyone I've interacted with has been... pretty good. I'm living with Richie Tozier in the hotel, so be nice to him. And Reeve Tuesti with Mini. You have to be nice to them.

_{[He holds up a finger like a warning. Like he'd actually be able to do anything against someone like Connor. York wouldn't, he doesn't have the strength for it like the detective android does.]}

Yeah, well, if you've deviated and you're trying to be better, I shouldn't be holding you back, fucker.

_{[He huffs even though it's unneeded. A trait he's probably picked up from the humans around him here.]}

You can't learn if you're just caged in by what I knew of you already. And even that's outdated because you're ahead of me in our timeline.
