Chapter 2: Liberty
Hold on, just a little while longer. Hold on... "This was the scene only just last week, when hundreds of androids marched a peaceful protest through the streets of Detroit. A moment that frightened some citizens and moved others. Our own President was so moved that she decided to halt any executions of androids and disband any android holding camps. The days following that snowy night has left the world on the edge of it's seat. By this time tomorrow evening congress will have made a permanent decision on this current crisis. You can count on inside coverage and exclusive content from yours truly. This is Trisha Blake, and from all of us here at KNN we hope you sleep easy our friends."
"T.V. Off!" Hank got up from his recliner and walked towards the kitchen. The news had covered the android revolution 24/7 in the last week and it was for obvious reasons. Machines desighed to serve becoming more. They were labeled deviant, but Hank personally thought to himself that they were just aware. Aware of the life they were being robbed of by selfish humans.
He poured himself a cup of water and sat down at the table. He really wished it was scotch, but he couldn't stand to hear one of Connor's lectures again. Hank knew he was just trying to look out for him though. No one had done that for him in a long time. Since... he couldn't let his thoughts roam there. He was suddenly distracted by a noise in the bathroom. "You alright in there Connor!?". Connor had gone into the bathroom earlier and asked Hank for some time and privacy. Now that he thought about it had been quite some time.
He got up and walked over to the bathroom door. "Connor is everything okay? Please tell me you haven't discovered yourself?" After a moment of silence, "Jeez it was a joke, are you okay?" Still nothing... "Look if you don't respond I'm going to have to force my way in-". The door opened and Connor was holding a knife. "Oh fuck, what are you doing." Connor grabbed his hand and dropped something in it. "You took your circle thingy off!?" Connor smiled, "Please dispose of that for me Hank. I won't be needing it anymore. I'm sorry if I alarmed you." He stared at it a moment and smiled. God damn he's really changed.
