WHAT RUH ROH IN PERSON
WHERE anywhere
WHEN 140

[ a bunch of those like, scanners you see at airport security are set up with tvs to display what they find. If you happen to wander through one by accident the tv might show something. . . that you didn't expect. Perhaps it shows the silhouette of a dog inside your body, or maybe a big flashing warning shows up on the screen like 'METAL DETECTED' or 'OLD FOGEY WITH NO SENSE OF HUMOR DETECTED' you know. . . whatever. . . ]

[Yeah this guy doesn't appear human at all on one of those monitors. He's mostly an assortment of metal components, wires, and plastic. "TIN CAN DETECTED"]

[If you pass by, he will STARE at you.]

[hackervoiceimin]

--Jesus, Connor, don't just--

[wait a minute.

freezes.]

[betterfasterstronger]

[Processing...]

...Lieutenant Anderson. Seeing you here is unexpected.

[hackervoiceimin]

Oh yeah? Who the fuck are you, and what were you expecting?

[morethanyou]

Connor? Is everything okay there?

[betterfasterstronger]

...I'm sorry, you don't seem to be in my facial recognition database.

[morethanyou]

Then I've probably mistaken you for someone else! I'm Shuri.

[ ........

STARING RIGHT BACK, running a quick scan ]

RK...900?

[betterfasterstronger]

[Stares... for an uncomfortably long time. He's obviously thinking heavily on something.]

Yes. CyberLife just created me. I am the latest and most advanced Connor android.

[hackervoiceimin]

[I'M HERE. NEARBY. LOOKING CROSS AND UPSET ABOUT THIS BUT AT LEAST NOBODY HAS A GUN OUT.]

... Ran into him a few minutes ago.

[aintrunning]

[boy, time to take apart metal detectors!!! absolutely sucking on his fingers when he gets a particularly good shock]

Need to carry some gloves . . .

[but keeps going, because that's it, that's your dumb boy]

[aintrunning]

[there may be weird buzzing noises on the call, but don't pay any mind to that, ring ring kimoyo phone, t'challa]

Yo, what's the over under on us getting stuck together again?

[willnotwatch]

[he just stares for like, a full 30 seconds. it's awkward.]

What do you want?

[aintrunning]

[not staring, because he's working. so enjoy just audio]

Yeah, stupid question, huh? We're probably two days out from a locked room.

[hackervoiceimin]

[once Connor is with Vasily, Hank just. Trucks back out and picks up RK900.

And carries him to Shuri. So Hank shows up with Connor who is in a different CyberLife uniform and shot with many bullets in standby mode. Hank would be looking nice today if he wasnt splattered with blue blood]

Shuri? Shuri if you're here, I need your help.

[morethanyou]

Sure, what's—whoa.

...this is the other one! Come in, come in.

[gonna. help him out with the carrying, jeez. picking up the legs or somethin.]

[hackervoiceimin]

Oh, you met!

Flustered and out of breath but bringing him in to where Shuri guides him]

Yeah, Connor's old bosses, sent him after us and... He's got a kill mission in him, and. They built him with somethin locking him out from breaking it. I had to... Can you help him?

[morethanyou]

[nods briskly]

I even have practice with this sort of thing.

[setting him on a table that's padded in such a way that it appears meant for lying down on. making a FACE, which is actually just at how inferior her set up is here compared to her lab at home, but could be interpreted otherwise under the circumstances.]

[hackervoiceimin]

[okay. Well. Here I am with an evil Connor 2.0. Who I just saved and decided to not delete their kill order, just, you know, let him choose to delete his kill order himself.

He rubs his face and reaches behind RK900's neck to activate him again. His bullet injuries are recovered, he's full up on thirium and, well, CyberLife's lockdown on his ability to rewrite his own programming is gone.]

[betterfasterstronger]

[The RK900's eyes fly open, and he immediately sits up and swings himself off of the table to stand, nearly knocking himself into Hank.]

[He scans the new area, reading popouts of the details. Then his eyes flutter for a second as he runs a diagnostic.]

[hackervoiceimin]

[startles, really, really not wanting to have to pull a gun out again, but they're so close anyway he might be fucked regardless if Connor decides to swing on him. But he doesn't think he will once he figures out what happened.]

Easy.

[betterfasterstronger]

[He turns and faces Hank, staring for an extended moment. His expression softens.]

I'm... sorry for the trouble, Lieutenant.

[negotiatoronsite]

[ sometimes after THE KERFUFFLE Connor opens his eyes, not immediately sure where he is. His apartment? Did someone bring him home? ]

[hackervoiceimin]

[Hank is in a chair that's been pulled up to the side of the bed, and there's a half empty bottle of whiskey on the floor. He's nodded off. Sumo is curled up next to Connor. Clues]

[negotiatoronsite]

[ as he looks around he sees where he is, and finally Hank asleep in the chair. it has to mean that at the very least the worst didn't happen ]

...Hank.
