[V I D E O] [UN: CONNOR]

[rk800connor]

Hello.

[The standard jumpsuit immediately gave him away as a new arrival, his expression was neutral, but pleasant.]

I've been informed that introducing oneself in this manner is advisable to those who have recently found themselves on board.

My name is Connor. I am a CyberLife RK800 model android. [It was important to introduce himself this way. CyberLife androids, though very realistic, weren't ever supposed to be deceptive about their true natures. His carefully measured words and tone and even the way he moved, his expressions, all reinforced his claim. And, if there were any other doubts that he might not be an android, he had a small, circular LED on the side of his temple that flickered blue from time to time as he spoke.]

I've been granted access to all messages transmitted publicly over the inter-station network. There have been some very odd occurrences, not to mention our sudden arrival here, the locked areas of the station, and it's absent crew. I was hoping to discuss the theories that you all have regarding our presence here, especially if you have any evidence to support it.

I also wish to offer my assistance to anyone who is endeavoring to find out more about the station or a way for us to return to where we were brought here from.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

V's right, though
doesn't matter what you say, your makers made you hot

[resleeves]

A mistake?

[ fucking unlikely. if it was a mistake, wouldn't they have had some people trying to find them? some communication? anything to let them know that there had been people here besides the creepy videos from beyond the grave? ]

A crew was here at some point. I agree. So, where's all the evidence of people? Clothes, personal items, that kind of shit. If there was a crew, wouldn't there be more of a, I don't know, indication of that?

[ he knows bodhi had mentioned finding something but that was one thing. if something catastrophic happened, where were the bodies and the blood and the smell of death? ]

I don't know if it's them.

[ they made a convenient outlet, though. ]

Looks like they got pretty screwed over too, though.

[theunluckygirl]

[Jennifer would like to believe the best in people and situations, even if she expects the worst. But she nods to show that that's the theory she'd like to agree with] I'd like to... believe that nothing here was on purpose. It's easier to think of it as a tragic accident.

[She's wearing the standard jumpsuit herself as well, but there's an old-looking rose brooch haphazardly attache to it that looks as old as the 1920s or so.]

It's very different. [She laughs slightly, but there's not much humor behind it.] It was 1940 where I was from. Everything here is... Very overwhelming and a little confusing.

I'm afraid I'm only passingly familiar with what an 'android' is, for example. The only time I heard of them was... Well, probably in the novel The Future Eve... Or when people talked of automatons.

[reposing]

Is it so unusual that I would not approve of potential cruelty to you? To put it simply, I like you and I will ensure those I like are safe. Nothing complicated about it.

[Although he does wonder. Connor has had some odd responses before. Another time, Alucard will need to remember to ask more questions about Connor and the nature of his world.]

Mm. I hope that parts for you do arrive. It would give me an opportunity to examine them and be better prepared for you.

As you wish. I will be there. Take your time, Connor.

[iustitia]

Oh my god, Troll Karen, you can't just ask someone what they are!

[The laughter in her voice makes it clear she's not actually taking offense to his question. It's something she's heard a lot in her life, especially since coming here.]

My name is Terezi! I'm a troll. A space alien! Previously from Alternia, then a resident of Earth, and now I'm here. Unfortunately.

[rk800connor]

Support. [He noted the correction with a dutiful nod.] But you were present in the hallway? Were you effected at all?

[If he'd been there and been fine, that could rule out anything airborne.]

Exactly. If it's some sort of automated response programmed into the station, it would rely on a number of conditions being met before it was triggered. We might be able to figure out what those conditions are so we can avoid them when working on the next doors.

[a2brutus]

Maybe originally.

I'm still missing over half of my skin layer. Please don't tell me you still think that's hot.

[tumang]

i'm not going to lie just because you say please

[a2brutus]

I'm not saying please.

[tumang]

you just said 'please don't tell me you still think that's hot'

but i don't like to lie

you know, where i'm from, they make sex robots. like it's their only purpose. an oversize fleshlight. and sure, for some people it's to make them think they're having sex with a real girl, but for some people, it's totally for the thrill of fucking a robot

sorry

android

[a2brutus]

Holy shit. Why?

Also I don't even have those parts.

[rk800connor]

[It all made sense once she explained the difference.]

Ah. I understand. I'm using the wrong word. [And, if she were human, this would be where he would apologize for potentially offending her. But she was an android. Androids couldn't be offended.]

If you do not have serial numbers, how are androids identified where you're from?

[a2brutus]

[Jokes on you, Connor. This Android is offended ALL THE TIME.]

I told you. Type and Model. There's no point for serial numbers. Even if you were to have like fifty Type G, Model 4's on the field, they'd still all be G4's. Generally though they don't send out multiple units of the same type because that'd get confusing for the personality data.

[rk800connor]

[He paused, looking thoughtful, LED flickering between blue and yellow.]

There are many possible explanations, but it is most probable that someone, or a group of people, has brought us here. How or why we were selected is unclear.

From the things that people have been experiencing, it almost seems like some kind of... psychology experiment. [He wasn't unfamiliar with psychology, though most of his experience centered around AI and testing for free will or testing between two opposing instructions.]

[wingstosee]

hmm. sort of?
but she's also a lot prettier than you.

i don't really think that's your fault though?
girls are just sort of. wow.

[wingstosee]

whoa. haha, that's crazy to think about?
androids don't even exist yet where i'm from.
but it's only 2015. i guess some people are from like 11000 or something??
anyway i haven't seen any really aggressive behavior or anything.
one of them's kind of a jerk, and the other one...
he means well? i think?
he basically tried to tell me i was a human, and that i might be his enemy, but then he saved my life.
so it's sort of a conflicting answers situation.

oh, i just thought like. wormholes can teleport people, right? and do time travel stuff.
i don't know how any of that works but i'm pretty sure that's a sci-fi thing.
and ghosts just explain how we've been seeing. ghosts.
or maybe holograms, but there's nothing to broadcast them, and they're of old crew members dying.
which seems a lot like ghosts.

[wingstosee]

haha. i kind of doubt that?
she seems like the kind of person to get angry about it, even if she wants to appreciate it.

but also, i'm not going to lie?
she's really pretty. haha.
so thanks, i guess?

[twoaffirmations]

She's missing half her skin.

[wingstosee]

well. yeah.

but it looks kind of like short shorts and a top?
plus it's probably good that the skin's missing.
i don't think she likes wearing clothes? or taking showers.

actually i should probably ask that. do you take showers?
that might push you above her a little.

[twoaffirmations]

I like bathes more, but yeah. I do.

[Now tell him he's better than A2.]

1/2

[wingstosee]

hmmm.

2/2

[wingstosee]

nope. sorry.
a2's still hotter.
but like, in a sort of trashy way?
you seem like a better person to date, i guess.

like, if someone i knew wanted to date you, i mean.
i don't think you're really my type? and also i have two girlfriends already.

[rk800connor]

[He actually looked surprised in a subdued way. He was still trying to get used to people treating androids like they'd treat people. It was strange. So a positive nickname was... nice.]

I like it. [He offered him a soft smile.]

You want to explore the ship with me? [Again, it's a little shocking. He's used to people being irritated simply by having an android nearby.] I plan on doing a thorough investigation of the bridge if you would like to join me. There are some forensic tests I wish to perform.

[tumang]

i don't ask people about their kinks, robutt

[twoaffirmations]

Oookay... [That didn't help him at all.] Where's Detroit located?

[Before Connor can even answer, he quickly changes the topic.]

Actually, nevermind. What's the status of mankind in your world?
