Irreplaceable (Connor X Reader) /(RK800 X Reader)

Chapter 4

"Elijah will see you now." Chloe smiled as we walked past her. 

"Mister Kamski?" Hank called, his voice echoing through the large room. Unintentionally, I was hidden behind the two towering cops.

"Just a moment please." I heard Elijah's velvety voice respond and I saw his figure gliding through the reddened water. We all stood on the carpet, politely folding my hands behind my back as Hank crossed his arms and Connor fiddled with his coin. Elijah climbed out, allowing Chloe to put a robe over his shoulders while Elijah fixed his signature man bun.

"What can I do for you Lieutenant?" He enquired, folding his hands in front of him, I tried to peek over the men's shoulders but I was still too short.

"Sir, we're investigating deviants. I know you left Cyberlife years ago  but I was hoping you'd be able to tell us something we don't know." Hank answered and I, frustrated with not being able to see properly, walked next to Connor. Elijah's eyes lit up slightly, unnoticeable to most.

"Well, if it isn't (YN) Manfred," he remarked and smiled. It was light yet mysterious as ever. "Come here, dear," he added and I quickly walked to his side. He wrapped an arm around my waist in a casual side hug. After a brief pause, he turned back to the men, acting as the whole endeavour never happened.

"Deviants. Fascinating aren't they? Humanities greatest achievement threatens to be its downfall. Isn't it ironic?" Connor shifting slightly.

"Deviancy seems to spread like some sort of virus. We thought you might know something about that," he said, his LED changing to a bright yellow.

"All ideas are viruses that spread like epidemics. Is the desire to be free a contagious disease?" Elijah responded. Always cryptic.

"Look, we didn't come here to talk philosophy. The machine you created may be planning a revolution. Either you tell us something useful or we'll be on our way." Haank stated and I shot him a glare, telling him to behave. Elijah suddenly pulled me forward as he took a step towards my android partner.

"What about you Connor? Whos side are you on?" he asked raising an eyebrow. Connor's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'm on the human's side of course," Connor answered quickly, glancing at me for a split second. Elijah let out a breathy chuckle.

"Well, that's what you're programmed to say. But you. What do you really want?" He pushed and Connor straightened up, towering over his creator.

"I believe we're the ones asking the questions." Connor snapped harshly.

"Connor!" I scoulded and Elijah took a few steps back, taking me with him. He unwrapped his arm from my waist and pulled a gun from one of his drawers

"Chloe?" Elijah called and the android approached obediently. "I'm sure you're familiar withthe Turing test?" 

"Elijah..." I said, beginning o feel uneasy.

"Mere formality. The simple question of algorithms and computer capacity. What interests me is whether machines are capable of empathy. I call it the Kamksi test. Its very simple, you'll see." He glanced at me before running a hand down Chloe's face.

"Magnificent isn't it? One of the first intelligent models developed by Cyberlife. Young, and beautiful forever. A flower that will never wither." Elijah suddenly dropped his hand and turned to Hank, who was shifting anxiously.

"But what is it really? Pieces of plastic imitating a human or a living being with a soul?" Elijah pushed Chloe to her knees and handed Connor the gun.

"It's up to you to answer that fascinating question, Connor." Elijah sated and i narrowed my eyes.

"Destroy this machine and I'll tell you all I know... or spare it if you feel it's alive. but you'll leave here, having learnt nothing from me." Elijah continued and I stepped forward
