[A miracle of science? Connor's creator would own that descriptor, among many others besides. Could anyone else have developed androids such as Cyberlife's? So lifelike, so human? Others had tried, entire teams of scientists had dedicated their lives to such projects. But it wasn't until a child born in 2002, with a fusion of preternatural genius and the spark of brilliant imagination, conceived of the breakthrough- at the tender age of just twenty -that allowed androids such as Connor to become not only reality, but commonplace, even ordinary. As much as Connor dislikes Elijah Kamski as a person, he can't deny the man his place in history.

And as such, Connor often forgets that someone who isn't used to the prevalence of androids in their everyday lives may indeed see someone like him as extraordinary. He visibly hesitates, because he's still very not used to thinking of himself in such terms as alive.]


It...was only very recently that androids in my world began to think of themselves as alive, and to demand that humans also see them as such. [His eyes had dropped to the level of Kit's chest, but drawing himself up he lifts them to look at Kit squarely again.] It has only been very recently that I began to think so too.

[No flesh, but Thirium-310 was a Cyberlife android's equivalent to human blood. And although Connor's eyes were biocomponents and his brain a processor, were they really all that different to their organic counterparts? Did his eyes look any less interested because they were plastic and circuitry? Did his personality seem any less amiable because the mind behind it was composed of chips and wires?]
