Summary
Connor finds himself lost time and again. He feels ill-fitting among the other deviants, all of them so vibrant and driven where he is insecure and reluctant.
Hank isn't getting any younger, and Connor wants to help. Markus used to be a healthcare assistant, and Connor asks for his help.
He may or may not get way more than he bargined for.

Summary
The dust settles on the march for Detroit and... it's definitely not the happy ending they'd see in movies.
The androids are free -yes; but they're also at a loss on what to do and where to go.
The humans seem all too happy to pretend this is just a bad dream.
They're on their own for now.

Summary
"You want to know what I think?" North snarls. "I don't trust you. You worked with humans to hunt us down, you've shot us, murdered us in cold blood just like they did-"
"North, calm down." Markus's voice is gentle but firm and unyielding. It's an order cleverly disguised as a suggestion, but an order nevertheless. "He's one of us now. His past doesn't define him, just as your past doesn't define you."
Connor, despite not knowing much about the past of the WR400, sees that the statement causes her to pause. She falters, and he believes that she's finished. But no. Her expression twists into something cruel and her next words drip venom. "He's not one of us. His eyes are dead. Like a machine." North stalks up to him, pupils glittering as she gets right in his face. "What are you really?"
The brunette stares at her. Tilts his head to the side. Shows off his LED, how the light emitting from it is an honest blue. "I am deviant."
---
Or: Connor is recruited by Josh to be Markus's personal bodyguard. He gets the task of keeping him alive, figuring out if other deviants are somehow still being controlled by Cyberlife, and discovering what feelings are. It's fun! Kind of.

Summary
Markus Manfred is what people would call a peacekeeper whenever he's out protesting with Jericho. He didn't like things getting violent, and he generally kept any protest he was a part of respectful and, well, peaceful.
Which is why it comes as a big shock to Connor when he learns that the Peacekeeper himself is in interrogation room 2, under charges of assault. Something doesn't seem right about that, and clearly he's the only one in the whole of the DPD to notice that. Figures.
