I'm a specialized prototype. I was assigned a mission and expected to complete it within a week. [ Because that time frame makes loads of sense. ] Whether I succeeded or failed, I would have outlived my usefulness to the company that designed me. I would have been taken apart and studied so whatever data I collected could be used to create the next android in the RK series.

[ Not a lot of time for hip pop culture references with that kinda life, unfortunately.

He a l m o s t sends a followup message saying he hoped that now that she had a frame of reference for AI she didn't think they would try taking over the world or enslaving humans or anything but decides against it. She'd seen him chasing people over highways, after all. She doesn't have the best impression of him. ]

_{[A load of sense, or a load of something that smells delightfully like manure?]}

You're the most expensive disposable camera I've ever heard of.

_[Jesus.]

[metanoias]

That's essentially how most humans where I'm from would think of me.

[ and how he used to think of himself tbh ]

I feel differently.

_{[Confirmation this future timeline of North and Connor's is fucked up.]}

What changed?

_{[Everything this Connor's saying fails to match up with the Connor from the highway. That version, the version who had chased those other two androids, hadn't felt that way.]}

I woke up.

[ More like sauntered vaguely towards deviancy rather than went deviant in one fell swoop but, you know. Details. ]

I was supposed to apprehend an android named Markus, the leader of the deviant rebellion. But after he spoke to me something changed. I was able to break through my programming. I became a deviant too.

Deviants. Mutants. Let me ask you this as our new resident information expert: why do people love special snowflake labels so much?

_{["Deviant" is a stupid word. It's an especially stupid word for that mysterious evolution of consciousness Connor is describing, like realizing you can think and feel is somehow equivalent to mental illness or secret gay love affairs or something moronic like that.]}

You know what a rebellion makes me think of? The Matrix.

How does that work, breaking through programming? You didn't think about anything and then you did? Boom, alive?
