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

But they are not living beings. They may look human and have the ability to replicate human behavior, but they are not alive. They are just machines.
[Did he really still believe this? ... He wasn't going to think about that too much right now. He didn't want to be deviant, that meant that he was defective... broken, and a part of him didn't want to be deactivated. At the moment, it was much easier to deny any sort of deviant behavior and continue to repeat his programmed responses.]
no subject
[Really, he knew more, but he wasn't about to talk about Yuki to some strange android who was trying to say that he had less of a priority to live because they are metal and plastic rather than meat and bone.]
Besides which, there are organic lifeforms here that are not human who pass for it, and some who don't. They don't deserve any less respect.
no subject
[It didn't help that during this entire debate, Connor's tone had remained the same helpful, pleasant one that it had been in his initial greeting. He could also continue repeating the same thing over and over again without frustration, each time gently correcting this stranger.]
You are, however, correct about the other organic lifeforms. My programming previously had no way of quantifying them, therefore, they are all treated as a human would be.
no subject
[Kira laughs a little at himself. And at Connor and his practiced tone. Annoying.]
Human emotions are all just chemical reactions. Human brains control their bodies through small electrical pulses that move through their nerves and tell their muscles what to do. In a way, humans are just machines as well. Following programs that are simply complex enough to come together and form a unique individual.
It doesn't cheapen emotions for them to be programmed into you.
[Oops he's a little well-read and knowledgeable for a 17yr old delinquent. At least he can play it off by saying he likes to read. It's not a lie, anyway.]
no subject
[It really was as simple as that.
Too bad Connor was beginning to doubt those claims. He'd been struggling with this debate before he'd arrived suddenly on the station. Though he wasn't about to admit any of that. That would mean he was deviant, which he wasn't.]
no subject
I dunno, I made one cum once.
[He sounds proud.
He is proud.]
Sounds like a feeling to me. Pretty fuckin' human.
no subject
There are android sex clubs where I am from as well.
I've heard their programmed responses to basic stimulation can be very convincing.
[He gives the man a polite smile as if he isn't completely insulting him on purpose.]
no subject
[Kira pauses after a moment, tapping on his chin.]
You know though. It was really cute. He was nervous... it was his first time, and I don't believe humans actually even exist in his time. [He is actually very fond of Yuki. The fact that this android might consider him less of a person because he was created by man was infuriating.]
And when he found out I wasn't human, he was hurt. Accusing. You can say what you want to yourself, decide what you think is right, but if you hurt him, say cruel things to him, deny his personhood...
I'll find out if you can feel, Connor RK800. [It had been a debate up until that point, but. That was it, that was the bottom line.]
no subject
[Even nervousness could easily be faked. All of it could. Connor knew that all too well; he was specifically designed to very believably, very accurately fake a huge range of emotions and responses.
However... part of him didn't doubt at all that the android had actually felt those things. He'd seen it and it was incredibly difficult to keep denying it. But the implications right now were too much for him not to deny it.]
I assure you, I do not. [At least not pain. He could say that with absolute certainty.]
no subject
[He laughs a little.]
But you shouldn't have to worry, right? I mean, you can't worry. You aren't alive, so you shouldn't be afraid to die. So like, by all means. Do and say whatever. I mean, it's not like I could change an android's mind.
Unless I were a hacker. [He's not, but you know. Couldn't they?]
no subject
[He certainly didn't sound at all concerned. This sort of thing was easy to say with complete confidence. Less than a week or two ago, he'd actually felt that way.]
I've never heard of any cases where CyberLife androids were 'hacked', but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible. [Viruses, most definitely, but no out and out hacking cases.]
