I was in the zen garden, I just had a conversation with Amanda, She was mad that I let Connor die, blah, blah... She didn't need to remind me of before though...
I sat by the cherry blossom tree and waited, I watched as Connor walked over to Amanda.
If you must know, We have our systems interlinked. We stick together due to this. We share the Zen garden, Android code and a few more things that we are 'yet to find out'.
(I guess I should mention what I wear? After all, I'm not naked, Weirdo. I wear leggings, Boots, White shirt (Short sleeve), Black tie and a waistcoat. On the waistcoat, the blue triangle was on the chest where a pocket was and the blue band war around the arm of my shirt, on the other side of my chest it said RK800 with our serial number under, on the back it had 'Android' with a blue triangle under and finally 'RK800')
Connor walked over to me, "Are you ready to go?"
I nodded.
Jump Cut
We walked into the DPD, and to the counter.
Look for LT. Anderson
Hank - Warm
We walked up to the clerk, "Can I help you?"
"We are here to see Lieutenant Anderson," Connor said
"Do you have authorization?" She asked
"Yes," Connor replied
I could feel the LED connect.
"Lieutenant Anderson hasn't arrived yet, but you can wait at his desk," She said as she let us in
Authorization Granted
Find LT. Anderson's desk
We walked through the gate on the way I was nudged by a greasy looking man, Connor instantly looked at me. I just shrugged and we continued.
Connor walked over to a police member, "We're looking for Lieutenant Anderson's desk,"
"It's that desk right there," She said pointing to an empty desk
I nodded and we walked to the desk.
Desk Located
"Excuse me," Connor said to an officer, "Do you know what time Lieutenant Anderson usually arrives?"
"Depends on where he was the night before," They responded, "If we're lucky, We'll see him before noon,"
"Thanks," Connor said
I lightly laugh

Wait for Hank
I looked around the desk. While Connor sat down.
iPod - analysing, Knights of the black death
Box - analysing, Donuts, one left
Dead tree - analysing, Japanese Maple
Coffee cup - analysing, Cold coffee
Board - analysing, Anti-Android slogans
Cap - analysing, Detroit basketball cap
Matches - analysing, Jimmy's bar
Photo - analysing, Red ice task force 2027
Chair - analysing, Dog hairs
I looked to the side to see papers
- Detroit police dismantle a network of red ice dealers
- Detective Anderson promoted to the rank of Lieutenant
- New record seizure of red ice in Detroit!
LT. Anderson was a decorated officer
I stepped away and heard footsteps.
"Hello, Lieutenant," We both said at the same time
"My name is Connor. I'm the Android sent by CyberLife," Connor said
"God, I saw you get shot in the head last night..." He said, having a mini panic
"My predecessor was unfortunately destroyed," Connor said, "But CyberLife transferred its memory and sent me to replace it,"
"Does this always happen?!" Hank asked me
"Yup," I said sitting in the seat
"This incident should not affect the investigation," Connor finished
"Uh, Jesus..." Was all he could say
"Hank! In my office!" A man shouted
Hank walked into the office, I and Connor obviously followed.
"I've got ten new cases involving Android on my desk every day," The man spoke, "We've always had isolated incidents, old ladies losing their Android maids and that kind of crap..." He paused, "But now, We're getting reports of assaults and even homicides, like that guy last night, This isn't just CyberLife's problem anymore, It's now a criminal investigation and we've gotta deal with it before the s**t hits the fan,"
We both watched silently.
"I want you to investigate these cases and see if there's any link," He finished
"Why me?" Hank asked, "Why do I gotta be the one to deal with this s**t? I am the least qualified cop in the country to handle this case! I know jack s**t about Androids, Jeffrey! I can barely change the settings on my own phone..."
"Everybody's overloaded. I think you're perfectly qualified for this type of investigation," Jeffrey said
"Bullshit! The truth is nobody wants to investigate these f*****g' Androids and you left me holdin' the bag!" Hank exclaimed
"CyberLife sent over these Androids to help with the Investigation," Jeffrey said, "They are state-of-the-art prototypes, They'll act as your partners,"
"No fuckin' way! I don't need a partner, and certainly not these plastic pricks!" Hank responded
Damn harsh
I could feel Connor's LED connect with mine,
(Bold = Connor
Italics = (Y/N))
Why doesn't he like Androids so much?
How am I supposed to know?
We need to find out
You lead the way
Why do you always insist that I lead?
I'm not good at leading
How so?
Just not
Fine
Good
We disconnected.
"Jeffrey, Jesus Christ! Why are you doin' this to me? You know how much I hate these fuckin' things. Why are you doin' this to me?" Hank said
"Listen, I've had just about enough of your bitching, Either you do your job or your hand in your badge. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got work to do," Jeffrey said
Hank left the room, slamming the door behind him.
"I wonder whether Lieutenant Anderson is really the best person for this investigation," Connor said
"Hey, I don't need any machines to tell me how to handle my men, Okay? So get the f**k outta my office," Jeffrey snapped
"Have a nice day, Captain," We both said in unison
We walked out and headed over to Hank's desk.
"I understand the destruction of my predecessor may have been unpleasant for you, Lieutenant," Connor said, "I'll do everything I can to make sure it doesn't happen again,"
"I'll make sure it won't and I mean it," I said
"In any case, I'd like you to know I'm very happy to be working with you," Connor said, "I'm sure we'll make a great team,"
I could feel the cringe from here.
"I agree," I said in a monotone voice
"Is there a desk anywhere I could use?" I asked, wanting to get to work
"No one's using that one," Hank said pointing to the dest in front of his
I was about to sit down but Connor beat me to it.
"Mind if I take this chair?" I asked Hank
"Sure," Was all I got
I took the chair and placed it next to Connor's.
"A lot of people don't appreciate having Androids around," This won't go well, "I was wondering, Is there any reason, in particular, you despise us?" Connor asked
"Yeah..." He said, "There is one,"
Hank v
"Do you listen to Knights of the Black Death?" Connor asked
Connor, Shut up! Do some work!
"I really like that music," Connor continued, "Its... Full of... Energy,"
"You listen to Heavy Metal?" Hank asked
"Well, I don't really listen to music, as such..." He said, "But I'd like to," He said
I let out a light laugh
Hank ^

"You're a Detroit Gears fan, right?" Connor asked, "Denton Carter scored 53% of his shots from the three-point line yesterday," He said proudly, "Did you see the game?"
"That's what I was watchin' at the bar last night," Hank said
Hank v
"Oh..." Was all Connor could say
"You have a dog, Right?" Connor asked
"How do you know that?" Hank asked
"The dog hair's on your chair," Connor replied, "I like Dogs, What's your dog's name?"
"What's it to you?" Hank asked, "Sumo, I call him Sumo"
Hank ^
"Have you known Captain Fowler for long?" Connor asked
"Yeah... Too long," Hank looked to Jeffreys office then back
"I was wondering..." Connor said, "Do you always arrive at the office at this time?"
"I arrive when I arrive," Hank responded, "Stop busting my balls, Okay?"
Connor went silent.
"Hank, Which file is the Android database in?" I asked, wanting to get to work
"Just look at the Terminal on your desk," He said
"Rude," I muttered
Connor accessed the Database and we Scanned the data.
"243 files..." I said
"The first dates back nine months..." Connor finished
"It all started in Detroit..." I said I knew what was coming next
"And quickly spread across the country," Connor finished again
I looked at Connor waiting for him to pick the mission
He looked back at me, "An AX400 is reported to have assaulted a man last night," He looked towards Hank, "That could be a good starting point for our investigation,"
I watched Connor stand up and walk over to Hank. I stood up and put the chair back.
"Uh, Jesus..." Hank said, He quickly turned and started looking at files on the tablet
"I understand you're facing personal issues, Lieutenant," Connor said, "But you need to move past them,"
"Hey! Don't talk to me like you two know me, I'm not either of your friends and I don't need any advice, Okay?" Hank said
"We've been assigned this mission, Lieutenant," Connor said, leaning next to his face, "We didn't come here to wait until you feel like working,"
Hank stood up and grabbed Connor by the suit and pinning him on the wall.
"Listen, asshole. If it was up to me, I'd throw----"
I grabbed Hank causing him to let go and I pinned him to the wall...
"You listen, you piece of s**t," I spoke, "Don't you even dare try to hurt him," I paused and leaned to his ear, "If you do, I will assure you, I will tear out your eyes one by one, then slowly cut off all your senses until you are nothing more than a mess, I will then burn your body until there is nothing left," I whispered, "Capish?"
Hank v
He gulped, "Capish,"
I let him go and turned to Connor, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," He responded
^ Software Instability
"Lieutenant," A voice spoke, "Sorry to disturb you but I have some information on the AX400 that attacked the guy last night..." He paused, "It's been seen in the Ravendale district,"
"I'm on it," Hank said
I helped Connor fix his suit as Hank left.
"Why are you helping so much?" He asked
"I told him that I wouldn't let you die, and If you get damaged, I also need to get repaired," I lied
"Well, let's go," Connor said
We followed Hank
