An RK800 entered the small premises, the chimes of a bell announcing its presence to the sparsely populated shop.

The investigative android assessed its surroundings. The world darkened as the android's mission appeared in its peripheral vision. The immense processing power made it so time appeared to have stopped, blue and yellow guides displaying, assisting the RK800 in accomplishing its mission. Its eyes swept across the girl silhouetted in yellow. From its peripheral, the mission completed and the next task assigned. 

FIND MAXINE DAY. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
TALK TO SUSPECT.

The android stepped further into the coffee shop, allowing the door to close gently behind with another short bell ring. Although the girl behind the counter had not looked up to acknowledge it, the android walked slowly and deliberately to a table situated away from the door. The RK800 seated itself on a Boho style chair and continued to assess the girl and its surroundings. 

There was the sound of clinking china and compressed air as milk was frothed. The windows allowed a decent amount of light inside which cast upon the few patrons. Aside from itself, there were five others situated around various mismatched furniture. The android noted that the male and female sat leaning towards each other were most likely on a date.

From where it was, a successful scan of the suspect was unlikely as her features were hidden by her activity behind the counter. The android tried to construct the best plan of action to approach her without inducing unnecessary levels of stress whilst also maximising  her cooperation. 

As it watched her, the android noticed the easy smile she gave the man beside her. The man, donned in a matching apron, poured frothed milk over coffee and chuckled in return of something she had said. Familiar colleagues, it processed. The possibility of talking to her increased with the presence of another worker. As the male finished his order and served it to a middle-aged woman, the android seized this separation and crossed the shop towards the suspect. 

She looked up at the RK800 and offered a natural smile. Her voice had a slight husky quality but was still softly feminine. "Hi there. What can I - " The girl's eyes flickered to the still blue display of the android's LED and back to its dark eyes, "-Get you?"

The android performed a quick scan of her face. The recognition software snagged her distinguishing features - the tiny freckle under her left nostril, the tattoo on her right wrist. Then the girl's bio displayed, confirming his assignment.

The display closed as the RK800 focused on the suspect. She looked nervous. Regardless, a direct approach seemed the most logical.

"My name is Connor," it offered.  "I'm the android sent by CyberLife.  I have a few questions I would like to ask you."

So you'll discover this prologue makes little sense to the rest of the chapters - I didn't want to keep her working in a cafe, would change the setting to still be Connor's perspective as he enters the bar from the first chapter.
