My eyes opened and i found myself in an elevator. I had just finished making a report to cyberlife

Conner was standing right beside me, playing with a coin.

I wasn't sure why cyberlife had installed that in his programming.

The doors opened and they walked through into the hallway.

Scanning...

There was an aquarium to their left, some pictures on their right, and some broken glass and a fish on the floor.

I went for the pictures while Connor grabbed the fish and put it back in the aquarium. I rolled my eyes and analyzed the pictures: father, mother, and daughter.

I grabbed Connors hand and shared the information with him.

Just as the transfer finished, a hysterical woman that matched the mother in the pictures was being dragged out by two swat members.

She grabbed onto me and started screaming.

"You have to save her! Please, please..." and she stopped cold as soon as my LED caught her eyes. She looked over at Connor and saw the same.

"No..no... how can you send one of those things... you can't do that..." And she was dragged out.

Me and Connor walked towards Captain Allen, who was looking at the computer.

I let Connor talk to Allen and I started to preconstruct the scene. I gathered that the deviant steal the father's gun and than shot the father. I frowned and made my way over to the child's room, how could she not have heard the shots?

When I entered the room I saw an electronic device on the desk. I opened it up and saw a video with the child and the android. The child referred to it as Daniel.

Information: irrelevant

I looked at the ground and saw a pair of headphones. That explains why the child didn't hear the shots.

"Find anything Amber?" Connor asked.

"Nothing relevant. Deviant stole the father's gun, is referred to as Daniel. You?"

"Android was injured. There was a first responder shot, child was in proximity to that. Both are on the ledge now. The parents were getting a new more advanced android, could be the reason it deviated."

"Lets get them down then shall we?"

Connor nodded and we made our way to the balcony.

"Hey hey, what are you doing?" Allen said blocking our path.

"Saving the girl. Or would you rather she die?" I said staring at him.

"Why would I trust you to do that? You're just a plastic machine."

"Yes, a plastic machine that is assuredly more efficient than you. Do you want to put aside your pride, or do you want her to die?"

He stared and then moved out of our way.

I stepped out first slowly, Connor following me.

The android was holding onto the girl. Helicopters were circling the building and his stress levels were high, and rising.

As soon as he saw us he shoot and caught me in the shoulder. It didn't hit any biocomponents.

"Hello Daniel." I shouted over the helicopters.

"How do you..."

"We know a lot about you. I'm Connor and my associate is Amber." Connor jumped in as we edged closer. "We know you don't want to do this."

He paused momentarily before asking "Do you have any weapons?"

I had pocketed a gun from one of the swat members. I didn't know about Connor until he pulled out a gun and dropped it on the ground.

Daniel looked at me. "What about you?"

I thought for a moment before lying. "No. I don't."

"They were going to get rid of me." Daniel continued crying out. "I thought they loved me, i thought i was apart of their family... but I'm just a machine to them."

"That's not true Daniel!" The girl sobbed.

The noise of the helicopter momentarily drowned out any chance of saying anything else.

After it died down, Daniel shouted. "Arghhhh I can't think! Get them away from me."

How amusing, an android, thinking.

Nonetheless, Connor waved the helicopters away. Causing the deviants stress level to lower. Good, better chance for the mission's sucess.

"Listen, she didn't do anything wrong. You have to let her go. I promise you won't be hurt." Connor tried to reason. He was better at this whole negotiating thing. He is the negotiator after all.

We were only a few feet away from him.

"I've always taken orders. Now its my turn to survive." He said almost to himself. He was about to fall back when Connor dove forward and pushed the girl back onto the roof and started to fall. I sighed and dove forward as well, trying to grab connor.

I got his wrist but our momentum was too much and we continued to fall.

I felt some... satisfaction with saving the girl. I frowned. That wasn't apart of my programming.
