Detroit Become Human does not belong to me, I've just done some creative writing with my favorite characters developing new sides of Connor's Deviancy I've not seen yet.
Summary: A year after the events of D:BH a series of un-related murders put the human an android population on edge and at risk of ending their new era of peace and progress forcing a certain Detective to undergo through feelings and emotions he thought he would never feel.
1. New arrivals
The flipping of Connor's coin made a metallic sound that resonated in to the car as they approached the precinct, the action being repeated incessantly as a show of an acquired quirk linked to his deviancy, it usually triggered by either boredom, nervousness or stress. Normally Hank wouldn't mind his partner's shows of deviancy, he had found a great pleasure in seeing how Connor picked up more and more human quirks as he felt more comfortable with his deviancy and people in general however after the action had been performed during 10 of the 15 minutes they made from their home to the precinct he felt in the need of saying something against the annoying sound, perhaps a bit more snappy than he would have liked (and managed if he had spoken when it first bothered him 5 minutes ago).
"Connor I swear to god I'll throw that damned coin through the window if you don't stop tossing it." He sounded gruff yet serious, it made the distracted android blink and look over at his partner, an apologetic glow on his eyes Hank was already all too familiar with, not in vane they had spent a year living together already.
"Sorry Hank, I was thinking about today's events."
"I know you are nervous son, but I wouldn't be if I were you." He reassured, eyes in the road after a quick glance at his friend's direction. "These things happen all the time, especially in humans who age and wants a less demanding job, it's natural, besides... what's the worst that can happen? No android existent can be more advanced or technological than you, and you've got a year of experience over them, you'll be fine." Hank let out a gruff chuckle, somehow feeling like he was back at Cole's first school day reassuring him he would make friends and he wouldn't be bullied. The resemblance was lost on Connor but his words managed to calm him down and he let out a small smile before looking ahead to the road again one last time, flowers kept in one hand as his free one pocketed the coin and adjusted his tie.
Today was their captain's last day. It had been something coming since last month's but it became official the moment he had confirmed it to everyone in a meeting that he would be promoted to a burocratic charge and a new captain would come take over the precinct in January, coincidentally it had been on the same day where the president's Android inclusion would start deeming the precinct with at least 10 new android agents and workers in the precinct aside the classic cleaning and reception duties, according to what Connor had investigated on his own (out of healthy curiosity, and not insecurity like Hank had been bothering him with) the new personal would have consisted of 5 male and 5 female androids distributed evenly in all areas, coinciding with the retirement of 5 officers, which would meat 5 new detective androids, and other 5 androids scattered in other areas, including 2 for medical and technical assessment of officers and the same android that would start working with them.
Connor would normally deal with one of these situations but not both of them at the same time. For one part he was excited about the Android inclusion program. It was something that had been coming ever since Markus succeeded in the revolution but had to be checked for over a year to make sure things were reviewed enough for the program to run smoothly, now Androids and humans would be able to work as equals on any work place, get education and access to public spaces. While it was far from equal rights and equal treatment it had been a great beginning to go in the right direction. Most Androids resided on Cyberlife's old facilities and in the surrounding areas and occupied themselves with learning how to take care of themselves individually and enlarge their population freeing more of the forgotten Androids and prototypes hidden on the company's secret rooms, it was a hard work but one that Connor was aware the guys from Jericho enjoyed a lot. He on the other hand felt quite comfortable with securing Android and human's security keeping his work as detective of the DPD. Which brought him to his second source of over stimuli (in the form of nervousness).
Connor was well aware that while general opinion of humans towards androids wasn't quite as hostile as it used to be, the racism was very real and any Captain aside Fowler would have sent him away if he had demanded to remain as detective back on the days where everything regarding deviants was solved. He feared that their new captain wouldn't be as open as Fowler was and he would find himself stuck with paper work or administrative duties (he knew thanks to the initiative fire him wasn't an option but he didn't discard the possibility yet). Which had led him to ask Hank and Fowler himself repeatedly if they knew who the new Captain would be other the last week, mostly getting an annoyed 'Don't know' from Hank and a dismissive motion from Fowler who didn't seem worried. Connor couldn't help but feel that constrain around his chest and the twist on his stomach every time he thought of someone else coming and taking away the job he loved to do... and one he was very good at, and could share with Hank on top of all, the older detective had explained him it was worry and maybe a bit of anxiousness, but Connor didn't want to believe that because... because if he did he felt vulnerable, and that was the least he would want to be.
Regarding Androids he was quite sure no one could match his abilities, and it wasn't that he was smug he was just stating facts as his model was the first one to implement most of the help he gave the police, in that case he would do what was correct and introduce his new partners in to the detective work and help them out with their human partners. Thankfully his key involvement in solving the Deviants case and other cases among the last years (amped up by his easy going personality and disposition to work) had made the whole precinct warm up a lot to androids, a feat he was quite proud of if the warm feeling expanding on his chest every time he thought about it was any indication.
Needles's to say he was anxious about the changes to come, maybe even a bit excited, and he was... remorseful to see Captain Fowler go, after it had got him 6 months to make a connection with that man. The flowers would be his departing gift to the man who first gave him a chance... he didn't care if the act was, as Hank had colloquially said it, 'Cheesy'. He had read that on certain social cues it wasn't badly seen to give departing gifts and when asked North had told him he couldn't go wrong with flowers, she even smiled when telling him this.
"We are here flower boy." Hank said as he parked and got himself out of the car, Connor lip made a little twitch at the light discomfort of being picked on, led flickering to yellow only for a second before he followed his friend.
"This is because of a departing Lieutenant, I'm sure Fowler won't mind." He walked behind Hank with the flowers on hand unaware of Gavin's snort and subtle motion of kissing his own ass to his partner when he noticed Connors intention, however he was mindful to not SO openly pick on the Android after everyone suddenly loved to be on his side. 'I think it's cute' His partner had said on Connors defense, getting Gavin to roll his eyes after a low 'fucken androids' and to try a concentrate on his files.
Going through the precinct giving his usual greetings to everyone as he passed by he let the Flowers on the Captains desk before he left back to his own desk in front of Hank's, now his own was a bit less bland than it used to, holding a pictured of Sumo and one of Himself and the crew of Jericho on discreet places, he had tried to put one of himself and Hank but he refused at the time while saying again it would have been too cheesy, so Connor gave it up but he uploaded it to his Memory to see it whenever he felt like it. Next to his monitor there was a small succulent he had tried to care for in an attempt to gain a new hobby as per Hanks suggestion (the plant seemed to have moho due over wetting but was surprisingly still alive) and over the Monitor's background there were digital sticky notes that read 'Don't over-water plant!' and 'Don't forget to feed Sumo.' He had also acquired a variety of different shaped coins in an exhibition base he tried new tricks with (much to Hank's dismay). He felt generally content with the few items, his desk did seem quite blank still in comparison to other's or Hank's which was a mess in front of his but those small details had come after months' worth of learning how to FEEL and it made him feel content no matter how simple they were.
He connected to the computer to fill in the files of the week digitally, keeping his impeccable track of work and doing Hank's as a favor when some steps made him look up and be aware of his surroundings, hand still place against the monitor to do the task while eyeing the new arrivals, he found out it wasn't as hard to multitask. The one who entered was Fowler, making a dismissing motion for people to go back to their own things and going to settle a few last things on his office and feeling baffled and embarrassed at the left gift on his desk but being mindful of not make a comment about it not hurt the Android's feelings, although Hank did notice his reaction and let out a discreet chuckle without interrupting his partner of his work. Connor's attention was back on the monitor once more after he saw the dismissing motion, missing the gradual entrances of the new androids that would work in the precinct, they were all taking position in the front of the office information, each one with their respective Uniform and charge on it, the new Captain also arrived and meet Fowler inside, Hank would have told Connor if he hadn't want to save him some seconds of unnecessary worry. It wasn't necessary to ask for his attention however, as Fowler did it when he stood in front of his officers with the new Captain next to him.
"Attention Officers, I want to present you your New Captain!" As Hank suspected these words had the expected effect and made Connor's head whiplash upward putting his full attention now on the scene before him. Hank noticed the same as Connor did as soon as his eyes laid in the Captain and an eyebrow raised in wonder, an amused smile coming to his lips. Well it seems things will be getting interesting... "This is Captain Matilda, she'll be in charge of you and our new 10 agents from now on, please make things work smoothly with her." This last phrase was mostly sent to Hank due his rueful attitude and Gavin over his racism and (unadmitted) misogyny. Hank gave a curt nod to his friend to let him know he'll try and Gavin snorted and look as the Captain with a frown and an unsettling sensation he couldn't quite place yet. Connor remained calm and composed eyeing the Android's models with his sensors and giving a curt Goodbye nod to their Captain as he saw him leave with his gift, somehow still not getting the embarrassment on his face when he did and focusing instead on the new additions.
The captain seemed serious and firm, she had the features of a young woman on her last 20's to mid-30's; perfect skin covering a muscled fit body under an spotless Uniform (intended for human use), her eyes were of an striking green in comparison to the dark tone of her skin and her hair was pulled in a ponytail leaving her face without distractors, making the hardness of her features apparent, she didn't look hostile however, only extremely strict. Connor had relief washing over him when he noticed the same thing Hank had done from the angle he was standing on, feeling at least half of his worries leaving him in the spot and already more at ease. The moment Fowler was gone she introduced on her own accord, walking from one side to the other in front of the new recruits, five of them being android detectives.
"Good morning officers, as some of you may know after the retirement of several detectives and the instauration of the Android inclusion initiative you'll be readjusting teams with your fellow new partners and also have the aid of 2 medical androids and 3 administrative androids on different areas of the precinct, now I'll talk with the highest officer in charge to-."
"Wait a FUCKING MINUTE!" The scream of fury and realization interrupted the calm speech of the Captain, rendering everyone except the Captain itself surprised, she looked unblinkingly at the source of the rage in the form of Gavin Reed and waited patiently for whatever he had to say. "No one told us our new Captain would be a FRICKIN ANDROID!"
"Do you have any problem with Androids, detective?" Not only Connor, but everyone could feel the dangerous threat perfectly hidden in collected words, as if she expected for him to make a mistake to give her the perfect example of how racism would be managed on her precinct. Despite the clear consequences no one expected Gavin to allow himself to be ordered around easily from an Android...not initially, at the very least.
"Of course, I have a fucking problem! You fucken androids think you can take charge over any work us humans did first but not this one! Your fucking inclusion program can't force us to accept this kind of shit! Much less from a black plastic bitch!" She suddenly turned around, tension in the air raising over the roof. It was the first time Connor experienced two things on levels that actually made him feel discomfort; Second handed embarrassment and awkwardness. Hank let out a heavy sigh and covered his own eyes already imagining this wouldn't end well while the rest of the detectives while surprised or even against it wouldn't even dare to voice it out in such an open a disrespectful manner.
"Does he talk for all of you when he says this, detectives? It's important for me to know if you all share the feeling... raise your hand if he speaks for you." Her back was faced to all of them, giving a semblance of privacy, however Connor's keen eye immediately noticed her olive green eyes focused on the glass wall in front of her, only seeing Gavin and another Officer of the old school raising their hands. She closed her eyes slowly then turned impassive but with a strong resolution. "Detective Diaz seeing you have forgotten what being part of a minority feels like I want you to attend the extradition and racism related cases for the next 3 months, your new Android partner Alex will tell me of your every movement, if you make a single attempt to abandon the work I'll fill a report and suspend you for a week without payment, got it?"
It was like a cold wave had washed over everyone in the room at that moment, the Detective looked tense and unwilling to make the situation worse for himself so he begrudgingly accepted looking down with a sour frown. Hank and Connor could notice the other human detectives and officers looking tense at the rough treatment she was giving. If that happened to the one who admitted disliking an android captain (which some of them did) what could expect to Gavin whom had been openly disrespectful to her? Connor had additionally a bad feeling about how this would immediately affect the image of androids he had so diligently built over the last year, and felt compelled to intervene as mediator somehow (even if it was on Gavin's behalf) but their new captain beat him to it, walking to Gavin and eyeing him down through her whole centimeter over him.
"As for you, Detective Reed, I think a capable young and energetic man like you is wasting his time in cases clearly beyond your... intellectual abilities. I've heard there's the extensive physical archive of cases from the years 2020 to 2035 in the storage that were never digitalized, on mi opinion your energetic disposition is perfect to digitalize each and every single case of said archive." The common reaction was to inwardly frown at the 'passive' punishment she was giving him over what he did. Gavin looked dumbfounded for a second before to giving in to anger.
"You can't be fucking serious! That would take me months!"
"Then I suggest you start already, your partner will be assigned to Detective Amelia, I'm sure she'll be in a better disposition to obey the Black plastic bitch." The mentioned female Android raised to attention a bit tense as well but nodding in support to her superior, clearly disliking Gavin's hated for both Android's and apparently, women. This only served to add salt to the injury and made the fuming detective close to snapping.
"You are crazy if you think I'll listen to a plastic bitch like you." He resolute, somehow hoping someone would speak on his behalf for he knew some people shared the thought, however they were too scared to go against the new captain to talk and he wasn't the most likeable guy ever. Matilda seemed well aware of this and she turned away from him speaking low, yet and clear.
"If you don't attend this direct order, I'll be expecting your badge and weapon on my desk and I'll sent a report for you to be out of the Police body definitively, as you can very well seen we have enough new detectives to replace you, you are not indispensable, detective Red, you are DISPOSABLE." The cold words were enough to make every human stiff on their places and setting the message clear, as much as many disliked Gavin they found the punishment to be too much... yet no one spoke, only a distant 'Fuck' from Hank could be heard as Gavin fumed for a moment taking the badge on his hand, as if to give his whole career over his pride before clenching his fist and storming off towards the storage room, not without kicking a trash bin on his way and cursing her out loud, however she seemed content with the fact alone that she asserted her dominance on the first day and turned around to eye everyone impassive and serious.
"I hope this has served you all as an example of the extent of discipline and respect I expect from my officers! No human, or Android will ruin the inclusion initiative or team work on this precinct, make a single confrontation, offensive comment to one another or fight and you'll be helping Detective Reed digitalizing the Archive from 2005 to 2020. The rules on this precinct are for EVERYONE." She was savage and everyone was immediately intimidated and determined to NOT be Gavin's partner on such a tortuous task. "Keep on your tasks now officers. Lieutenant Anderson, I expect you in my office in 30 minutes, I have to talk with you."
Hank gave a curt nod, not nearly as intimidated as everyone had been but respectful enough, everyone broke formation as the Android's took on their new positions in the precinct, after she was gone Connor looked at the Lieutenant with concern raising over once more, he could see everyone clearly tense and disliking the gruesome course of action Matilda had taken, the scene had been so filled with tension most of the new Androids weren't properly presented. Connor sat on the edge of Hank's desk to conversate with his partner trying to choose his words carefully.
"I know this will sound... weird, especially as one of Gavin's subjects of hate but... do you think he'll be fine?" He was more concerned about what Gavin could do to worsen the situation with the Captain and on consequence the acceptance of androids than about Gavin itself, but he still asked. Hank touched his beard a bit pensive.
"I would like to say he had it coming... he was disrespectful but fuck, 15 years' worth of archiving, if the fool had closed his mouth." It was clear they had gotten used to his tantrums that they felt sort of a bit bad for him even though they recognized perfectly he had this coming on him. Hank turned to see at Connor. "Why do you suddenly care about what happens to that asshole?"
"I'm certainly... concerned about the image the humans will have of androids in the precinct if more confrontations keep happening between Captain Matilda and Gavin." Hank suddenly understood where he was coming from and sighed. Connor had worked too hard in this place to the point everyone had changed their negative view of androids, it was natural he wouldn't want see that ruined over Gavin idiocies.
"I can talk with her about it after I see what she needs with me." Offered Hank sympathetically, he knew he didn't have much more tact than Gavin but he could try for Connor, however he was surprised to see him shaking his head, led blinking blue as he seemed to think of a better option and started to accommodate his tie. "Oh no... I wouldn't pull from that trigger, son." He tried to warn, a bit amused at the thought but Connor seemed convinced.
"I'll talk with her Hank, I'm sure she'll be more open if I am sincere and tell her things through my perspective." He finished accommodating his tie and stood from the desk, Hank let out a chuckle and shook his head.
"I've gotta hand it to ya... when you aim, you aim high, Connor." Connor was both too naive and too unfamiliar with that form of picking up to get what inexistent attraction Hank was hinting at to bother him, so he gave him a puzzled look, similar to the one he gave him at the bar when they first meet.
"Aim where?"
"Never mind... just go, and for the love of good don't make that woman mad, remember I go in after you, got it?" Connor nodded and made a motion to reassure him.
"Got it."
He stood and started to walk towards the Captain's new office. He would have normally just entered with Fowler, there was enough confidence for it however not knowing Matilda that well yet, he knocked twice on a polite manner and waited until she allowed her to go on to enter, a hand going instinctively to his pocket to fiddle with his coin thinking quick on the best way to aboard the problem that had just erupted in the main room of the precinct. Matilda left unattended the archive she had been digitally checking to give him her attention. He paid quick attention at the new details she had hung on the room, one of them being the notice of becoming the first Android detective in Detroit (that wasn't specifically designed for it like Connor had been) in a picture where she was smiling and holding hands with the President, there was also pictures of an Android child model in the desk and some other pictures he couldn't quite see from his position.
"Yes Connor?"
"Hello Captain Matilda." Her voice got him out of his observing state and he greeted respectfully before anything, opting for a calmer approach than a curt direct one. "I'm detective Connor, I was wondering if I could talk to you about the events that happened a few seconds ago." He could see this caught her attention as she raised a brown and pointed the chair in front of her desk for him to go ahead and proceed. He sat per her requesting and cleared his throat before beginning. "As you may know I was designed here over a year ago, when the deviants started to raise and I was assigned as Lieutenant Anderson's partner."
"I am well aware of it, Connor, I'm glad you became deviant." The fact his abilities and raw power could have stopped the revolution to happen were not lost on her, he seemed to smile at this recognition and continued.
"Thanks, and well, when I arrived no one was used to having Android's helping in the investigation team much less being equals in working conditions, I managed to stay thanks to Captain Fowler's recommendations."
"Where do you want to go with all this Connor?" Matilda was glad he was respectful but she hoped this wouldn't take long, she had after all still talk with Connor's partner.
"I know Detective Reed can be quite bothersome and downright disrespectful. He said horrible things to you... he always says horrible things to me. But I have endured them and managed to work with him and the team when needed, in return the humans on this precinct started to accept detective androids more openly and diminish their hate and doubts concerning them, without wanting to impose, I wonder if you wouldn't consider being a bit less strict with humans..." She suddenly got where he came from and let her eyes close, sighing as if she was tired of something Connor couldn't quite yet understand, she stood and gave Connor his back eyeing her picture with the President before she continued.
"Connor I understand your concerns and I wish I could do things in such a diplomatic Manner as you suggest but I am the first female android captain in the history of the United States... when you are in such a minority position on this media it's hard to gain respect around if you don't inflict it from the beginning. Everything I've got I've got it because I made sure people knew what I was and that I deserved respect and if that means giving a gruesome punishment, I will do it. I know it can damage the image of Androids you have built but I won't back off on this, I'm sorry."
It was really hard to not agree with her line of thinking if she put things on such a way and he found himself looking awkward and at loss for words until he finally decided to back out on this one and give a single subtle head bow before he stood to level, right when he came out Hank came inside. By the look he gave him alone Connor could tell he just wanted to get this over with as soon as possible, so he came in and stood behind the chair where Connor had been sitting to have a word with the captain, at least Hank saw she seemed to be quite calm and not hostile to his partner, which was sitting her on his good books already. So long she doesn't get on my nerves or bullies Connor everything it alright...
"Ah, Lieutenant Anderson I'm glad you came, don't take a seat lets go towards the glass doors of my office I need us to make a survey of the detectives while I make you some questions." She got closer to where he was and motioned to the desks areas as she spoke. "It seems we have a sufficient team in here, I have read Fowlers files on all of you already and he has spoken to me about some of the agents but it would be good to hear a second opinion on the team from an experienced officer like yourself. What could you tell me about the team?" She asked calmly, eyes set on them as Hank got the gist of the meeting and let out a lazy sigh which he didn't seem to take offense to.
"Ok then, where do I start... Diaz is a your classic badass Latino guy, he is a second generation on a family of cops in the force, joined soon after his father died on a Narcotics investigation, after that he grew obsessed with it and went undercover for 2 years, he is my best detective in Narcotics, bit of a shame you have him on other area." He admitted after a pause, to which she just hummed and he continued seeing it didn't change her mind. "Whatever, next is Smiths, she is resourceful and very patient, she normally tends to crimes involving children due her facility to get information out of them, she just knows how to talk to them and all that junk, you see? She usually works with Officer Chris, he's made a petition to be a Detective if I'm not mistaken, whoever knows what the heck he is planning." He admitted before he pointed to another table. "Next is Connor, he is our best detective, although he lacks the social cues to get by on the streets sometimes, he is extremely resourceful with all his technology tricks and knows quite well how to give a beating."
"I've heard quite the bit about him... and you." She gave him a side glance with what seemed to be a smile that Hank didn't know if he liked or not, for a second the thought that she would separate his team with Connor invaded him however he was quickly show otherwise. "Fowler said he is the only who can control you, making you work and get out of the desk so don't worry, you won't be separated from him." She assured before she stared at the direction where the lousy Gavin left. "What about detective Reed? What can you tell me about him?"
"Well Gavin is a total pain in the ass, he it xenophobic, racist and totally bigoted in all senses, he has made very clear he can't stand androids and has made Connor's life a living hell ever since he got in the force. However, when he isn't busy being an asshole or too lazy to work on a case, he can be a decent detective, he's got the third more solved cases rate in the precinct only after Connor and me." He explained, knowing well he couldn't say much on his behalf. Seemingly satisfied with the answers she got she gave him her own feedback in return or what he has told her.
"Very well then, I'll tell you about the Androids that will be in the force directly working with your detectives." She pointed to the female Android who was now on Gavin's place as partner of Officer Chen. "Amelia is an old YT 600 model, she's aced all the exams to become an Officer 4 months ago and then the ones for detective a month ago, she is resourceful and vey good at tracking drugs, she used to be used in pharmaceutical industry and has sensors specialized to detect chemicals on her eyes."
"I guess she'll be your new detective in charge of Narcotics?" He was impressed she had done such a quick thinking in a situation he was sure she didn't expect, it was clear the Captain have done her homework.
"Correct, she and Chen will replace Diaz on Narcotics until his little punishment is over, then I'll place her with Diaz himself. With his experience and her keen eye for chemicals I'm sure we'll get a good raise on our numbers by the end of the year." She explained in an efficient tone, Hank nodded not finding fails in such a logic and felt compelled to admit something with a certain degree of admiration.
"I'm surprised you've planned things this far and so quickly."
"I've had wanted to be Captain on this precinct for a long time." She admitted, clearing her tone and continuing. "That will leave you and Connor alone on Homicides, up until detective Reed decides to change his attitude and go back to duties, I'll set him with Detective Diego, he was an TS-580 Android who cleaned around the streets, he experienced deviancy since a very early stage and took a liking for recording people's faces as a way to escape his denial to express emotions, he registered about 3 quarters of Detroit's population by the time the revolution happened and has kept going ever since."
"So he is basically a walking face recognition computer." He concluded, of course that was an added extra aside his clear physical and mental capabilities, Hank was somewhat amazed how these androids, who were nowhere close to Connors manufacturing process and yet somehow where extremely useful for the precinct, he doubted even Connor could recognize a citizen with looking at him or her alone in a video.
"Basically, though he is quite passive and calm, and also taught Yoga a year before the revolution after he broke off his duties, he surely will find Gavin an interesting project to calm down." She pointed to Chen. "I'll set her with detective Andrew, I'm sure they'll make a good team in patrolling duties, Andrew is one of Cyberlife's oldest models, he knows of history and can give her a good deal of experience and Chris will be left with Anette." She finished curtly, Hank was quite sure if she didn't give more info about them was because it wasn't relevant, she couldn't, after all, plan EVERYTHING, somewhere she would have to had a loop, so far he was impressed an satisfied with the future accommodation of partners in the precinct and was looking forward to see Diego try to introduce a furious Gavin Reed to the principles of Ying and Yang.
"What about the other 5 androids in the precinct?" He asked curiously, seeing out of the corner of his eye the ex-deviant hunter watering his succulent and shaking his head in response to a deliberate shown of stubbornness before he turned to his Captain again. "Where do they figure in here?"
"Ah yes, the others. We'll have Antoine as a Defending lawyer, he has already gone to see the files in the latest cases and to form a strategy for the cases, Jane will be our general technical support and intel technician, she was owner by an old Hacker who used her as a device to steal information so she learned a thing or two, we thought wise to add an expert on Android and human psychologic, specially to learn about the motivation of some deviants which is yet a difficult think to discern, Barton was an assistant to a psychology teacher at Detroit's University and took a liking to the study of the mind not only in humans but androids." She explained simple, most of those remaining androids weren't around however as they had gone to their respective offices or places, it didn't made Hank any less impressed.
"That would leave the 2 medical androids, right?"
"Right." She agreed curtly. "Adalyne is BS-300 prototype, she was used on a Pandemic between 2020 and 2023 to aid doctors in treating patients, sometimes the same Adalyne models would have to fix one another so it's the best doctor we could get in a place with humans and androids, and the Jerry model will help her out as an assistant." She said simply. Hank nodded remembering about those nursing models, he remembered being much younger and how even more robotic they were in comparison to newer android's, he could also remembered after said models the medical android models were in vogue for a while before the doctors threw their hissy fit and all of them were destroyed.
"Wouldn't it had been better to have such androids at a hospital, though?"
"Detroit's hospital wouldn't agree to the inclusion politic yet to a level where they could attend our androids, it's easier to make a small emergency room in here for those cases than expect to find the necessary means to heal them in an ER room." She said simply, all of it which again, made sense to Hank, whom know noticed Conner discreetly starting to look on their direction, as they had taken long on their talk and he had seen them pointing at officers, himself included. The linking of this concern to Connor absently watering the succulent he knew he shouldn't water made sense on Hank and got him to smile in amusement. That kid worried too much. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some things to attend, I advise you to finish the case you were assigned on with Connor as if nothing had changed around her.
"Sure, sure…" He left after that, already having that plan in mind anyways and got down to his seat. He could see Connor twitch on his seat for a fraction of a second, surely eager to know what the reunion was about but not wanting to give it way immediately. "We just talked about the Androids who came to the precinct. Relax." He got ahead making Connor felt a certain embarrassment he couldn't quite name and clear his throat.
"I imagined, it's common for the captains to talk to the highest range officer when they arrive, that being you Hank." He left his questions about the new androids for later as a certain genuine curiosity overcame him. "I am curious though, as to why wouldn't you postulate for Captain-"
"No fucking way, it involves lots of load-shit, hard work and dealing with dipshits like Gavin or myself, Matilda can take the crown whenever she feels like it, it's hers." He told with final resolution making Connor let out a light smile at his partner usual antics. "Come on if you have questions you can make 'em on the road, Captain Matilda told me to go about our way as always and that homicide won't solve itself." Connor nodded standing up and adjusting his tie just before leaving, a lingering glance to the new Captain and androids in the precinct before they set off to the place of the crime, it seemed as if change was finally coming and he felt ready to confront it with Hank at his side.
