685 Words
We have just arrived at the location, We went without a uniform to look less suspicious
Connor was in a grey hoodie with an open brown leather jacket, blue jeans, brown boots and a black beanie.
I was in a White top with an open black hoodie, black leggings, black boots and a black beanie.
He looked at me and we started looking for the symbols.
Locate Jericho
Time Skip
We arrived at Jericho, There were so many Androids. We started looking for the Leader, Markus.
We found a staircase, as we were about to head up it, someone grabbed Connor's shoulder.
"You're lost," She said
She had so many wires hanging out her head, How is she active?
"You're looking for something or someone..." She looked at me, "You may be closer to her than you think,"
She walked away...
He shrugged his shoulders and we continued on.
Time Skip
We watched as another person left.
Entering Zen Garden
We were both in front of Amanda.
Amanda - Nothing
"Well done, Connor," She said
No thanks to me?
"You succeeded in locating Jericho and finding their leader," She spoke
"It was mostly her," He said referencing me
"She has nothing to do with this, Now deal with Markus," She ordered, "We need him alive,"
Exiting Zen Garden
Connor pulled out a gun?!
Deal with Markus
We walked in Connor pointed his gun at Markus.
"We've been ordered to take you alive," Connor spoke
"But he won't hesitate to shoot if you give him no choice," I finished
"What are you two doing?" Markus asked He looked at me, "You are both one of us," He stepped closer, "You can't betray your own people,"

"You're coming with us!" Connor shouted
"We are your people," He moved closer, "We're fighting for your freedom too!" He stepped closer, "You don't have to be their slave anymore..."

"You're Connor, and You're (Y/N), Aren't you? The famous Deviant hunters," He said, "Well, congratulations Connor for two reasons, You're friend seems to also be a Deviant and It seems like she's been like that for a while," He spoke, looking at me, "For reasons, you may not think,"
Connor looked at me then back to Markus
"And you seen to found what you were looking for," He said
Connor was strangely silent
"Have you never wondered who you really are?" Markus asked, "Whether you're just a machine executing a program or a living being..."

"Capable of reason," He paused, "I think the time has come for you to ask yourself that question,"
Connor faltered
"Do you never have any doubts? You've never done anything irrational as if there's something inside you?"
^ Software Instability
"Something more than your program," He paused, "It's time to decide,"
I connected my LED
Remember, I'll always support any desition you make
I disconnected my LED
He lowered his gun...
He is a Deviant...
"They're going to attack Jericho," Connor said
"What?" Markus said
"We have to get outta here!" I exclaimed
"Shit..." Markus ran out
We followed
The girl from earlier appeared, "They're coming from all sides! Our people are trapped in the hold, they're gonna be slaughtered!"
He sent a message to everyone, "There are exits on the second and third floor, Find them and jump in the river!"
"They're coming from the upper deck now too, We'll be caught in the crossfire!" Markus said
"We have to run, Markus! There's nothing we can do!" She responded
"Where's Simon A-and Josh?" He asked
"I don't know, we got separated," She responded
"We have to blow up Jericho," Markus said, "If the ship goes down, they'll evacuate and our people can escape!"
"You'll never make it! The explosives are all the way down in the hold, there are soldiers everywhere!" She responded
"She's right!" Connor said, "They know who you are, They'll do anything to get you!"
"Go and help the others, I'll join you later," Markus ordered
"Markus..." She said
"I won't be long," Markus said
Markus ran one way while we ran another.
