I’ve think I know who rA9 is.
Now as crazy as it sounds I think I’ve figured it out. The R stands for the RK series. Which surprisingly if you notice are all prototypes including Markus, who is a RK200 I believe. Then you have Connor who is an RK800. Both of them showed signs of deviancy but with Connor it depends on the players input on whether or not he is. The nine stands for when Kamski left according to the game. Nine years ago. Meaning he created the RK series to be deviants since he left Cyberlife.
(However if you think about it all the androids are deviants to begin with. They were everything a human isn’t. The image and proof of perfection. But everything has to have a fault. Because nothing can become perfect if the human race have anything to do with it or accosiated to the cause.)
Sorry for sidetracking but with the theory. If the RK series were prototypes and Cyberlife were unsure of their signs of deviancy then there is a reasons why they gave the prototypes to the people they did.
If Markus became deviant and attacked Carl the president would blame the androids and they would all be killed because it shows not everyone is safe. When Connor was trusted with Hank I believe the goverment were trying to either blame Connor/Cyberlife for the RK800 deviancy or catch him out as an alcoholic who wasn’t cut out for being a cop.
Throughout the game there are booklets you can collect as trophies. One of them: says is your android spying on you? I believe this is in reference to Connor. Hank was a decorated officer and the goverment wanted to know why he stopped being that officer other than the death of his son. By using Connor if the mission failed they would send in the new prototype to take over as the RK900 would be more advanced.
Kamski would of most likely tried the test on the prototypes of the RK series to make sure they showed signs of deviancy before they were issued out. And by signs of deviancy I mean human emotions. Being a carer Markus was the most likely prototype to show affection which is why his love for north was inevitable.
With Connor it’s different. I believe the human emotions he showed most predominantly were compassion and bravery. When he learned of Hank’s son Cole you notice he deeply respects Hank and doesn’t ask him about it because he knows that it would be a difficult conversation. Although many of you may believe he did this because he knew Hank would most likely shoot him or something like that, Connor had the option to ask about the Russian Roulette Hank had been playing. This shows his caring side towards Hank and when learning about his son he doesn’t talk about it until the end of the game.
His bravery, if Markus doesn’t kill him, comes from wanting to infiltrate the Cyberlife tower. When Connor becomes deviant you would think any android showing signs of deviancy would be terrified of going back in fear that they may be reassembled and unknowing of their life during deviancy. He choses to do this so that androids have the upper hand against the war. As Markus so rightly says it would be suicide. Yet Connor still does it for his kind. Showing not only his loyalty but his bravery for his people.
When Hank questions Connor on what his son’s name was, when Connor replies with Cole you can hear the compassion in his voice which is what makes him human. So if you think about it the deviancy logically it is an evolutionary step for both human and androids.
Which is where rA9 comes in. RK series all prototypes and all destined to become deviants. Kamski designed the RK series to be rA9. Because rA9 isn’t a person it’s a group of deviants from the RK series. They were the founders of Jericho which is why Markus is able to persuade everyone so easily. Connor not so much. The RK series was most likely made from the bottom so the first deviant would of been RK000. The Chloe’s that Kamski has are the first andrioids ever. Prototypes in my eyes because you never see them other than with Kamski.
Chloe on the main menu was the first android to ‘wake up.’ Which is why she was reset and then taken by Kamski in order to realise her full potential. The ones that don’t wake up are most likely shot by police androids when tested to see if they are human or not. Hence why he only has three left if you exclude the one on the main menu.
RK stands for the r in rA9.
A stands for are
9 stands for the nine letters in evolution and when Kamski first started making deviants.
RK are Evolution.
The RK series are everything you need. A carer, a leader, a son, a dedicated police officer. They start the revolution because they are Evolutionary. They are rA9.
I don’t know if this is correct or not but I’m hoping it’s a good theory because this has been sitting on my mind for weeks.
