Okay but WHAT IF it was Nines instead of Sixty in the Cyberlife Tower chapter? Hear me out.
I mean I love Sixty so much, but imagine if Cyberlife had sent the upgraded model to torment and end Connor, that would’ve been poetic.
Nines could’ve bragged about being superior, ”equipped with the latest technologies” and stated how Connor is already obsolete and means nothing to Cyberlife. (I know Amanda already tells all of this to Connor in one of the bad endings, but if it was Nines himself instead rahhh, imagine a better version of yourself degrading you, such a harrowing thought)
Like my friend said, ”Cyberlife would be that petty.” Damn right.
Imo Sixty’s personality and mannerisms suit Nines so well too, tho I usually my headcanon for (deviant) Nines is him being a bit more machine like than Connor, very loyal and a tad bit more calculating but still his heart being in the right place (or thirium pump). I would like to know Bryan’s spin on Nines’ voice, would he have sounded different from the original Connor and Sixty? I know it would’ve been something equally delicious. I think we all have our own idea of Nines because the canon RK900 is a total blank page, so y’all might disagree with me about Nines’ personality. And I think it’s wonderful, it’s like make-your-own Connor, no interpretation is wrong! Sixty tho, he’s a ecoistical lil’ shit, it makes him so much fun too. Tho I like to think he’s somewhat redeemable (if he’d survive that is).
Of course the tormenter being Sixty is already amazing and I enjoy the Sixty vs Connor showdown immensely, imo it emphasizes how Connor is just one of many and not special at all in Cyberlife’s eyes, and so so easily replaceable (even when he’s a state-of-the-art prototype). And on top of it all, a defective model at that. Sixty even thinks Hank won’t notice any differences between the two RK800s and makes a whole ass plan around that fact. So without Sixty there wouldn’t be that brilliant scene where Hank has to indentify the real Connor. It’s an amazing conclusion to Connor’s deviancy journey and Hank’s final acceptance of Connor being alive and his own person. It would’ve been a shame if they didn’t include that scene, it’s an integral part of Connor and Hank’s story. So, thank you Sixty?
