[It is all true, every bit of it, but Connor is unable to see the pathway that Kit can see. Maybe he's not imaginative enough, or maybe he's not concerned with it. He's still very new to his deviancy, and when he arrived here things hadn't even begun to settle into calm again in Detroit. He's been in survival mode ever since he was sent out to earn his reputation as the Deviant Hunter, but even with the success of the Revolution (thanks in part to his betrayal and defection to the enemy) things hadn't slowed down at all; he'd been taken and brought here that very same night, in fact. Maybe one of these days he'll learn about the concept of free time.

Less than a week ago, Connor would have adamantly insisted that he wasn't alive, and it wouldn't have raised any doubts or questions for him. In the short time he's been on these islands, his existential crisis had yet to abate. Short answer, yes, he's pretty sure he's alive. Long answer? It's complicated.]


What? Oh. Of course.

[Connor's eyes had belatedly followed Kit's hand, but he catches up and extends his hand for Kit to shake, and doing that reminds him abruptly that they hadn't introduced themselves. Connor's hand is only slightly cooler in Kit's grip than a normal human's would be, and if he hadn't known better, Kit could easily assume that the synthetic polymer that made up Connor's skin was real flesh. He doubts that Kit would be able to tell the difference even under visual scrutiny. Connor has pores and hair, blemishes and imperfections that Cyberlife's engineers designed with such a level of care that it was nearly impossible to distinguish him at first, second, even third glance from a flesh and blood human. Perfectly designed imperfections, made possible thanks twenty years of continued innovations to Kamski's initial genius.]

My name is Connor.
