connor is adorable, obviously, but have you ever seen him be a badass or scary?
Gavin: That wasn’t what I was gonna say...
Gavin: Con here could probably be the scariest thing you’ve ever seen, if you get in his way.
(As he speaks, Detective Connor’s eyebrows furrow a little.)
Gavin: He gets super focused on field missions. Finding suspects, beating them down - Barbie here starts glaring a little, ready to beat some ass.
(Dramatically, Detective Reed puts his hands together to mimic a gun. Detective Connor is looking down at his hands.)
Gavin: One time, we were trying to get the jump on a dealer - but the guy jumped out before we expected it and ran off. Con was all like, “Freeze! Detroit Police!” - y’know, super corny as always -
Connor: It’s normal, is it not?
Gavin: (snorts) Yeah, yeah - and cheesy too.
Gavin: Anyway, the guy runs, right? But Con runs right at him too, through all those tight alleyways and shit - hard as fuck to catch up, damn Android speed - but the guy was about to go into a crowd, and all of a sudden, Connor stops, raises his gun -
(Detective Reed imitates shooting his finger gun.)
Gavin: Pcckah. Instant shot. Just like that.
Connor: It was necessary.
Gavin: Yeah, and really cool. There was another time, too…
(Detective Reed talks for a while, wide gestures to accompany his story, before he finally winds down to a close. He’s smiling quite a bit.
Detective Connor has been silent, however. His LED pulses yellow.)
Gavin: …They had to make you like that, huh, if you were hunting other androids.
(In an instant, Detective Connor’s LED turns blue. He looks up and smiles at Detective Reed.)
Connor: Yes. But that’s only because I was programmed to…
Gavin: Yeah? You’re still badass now.
Gavin: Even that time you knocked me out - (laughs) - how focused you are - it’s scary, but freaking cool.
(The LED is yellow once more.)
Connor: We are past that, yes?
Gavin: You’re just - I mean. You can definitely be -
(Detective Reed points to each of his cheeks.)
Connor: But really, truly -
Connor: It’s only when I’m focused on work.
