Connor already approached with the question without much other thought. She is exhausted. Dark circles and stress are two profound symptoms of lack of sleep. He realizes they have been extremely busy here at the DPD lately. Crime rates against androids have risen. With them the RK800 finds his attempt to integrate as an upstanding officer of the law, abiding by proper etiquette is - difficult.
He knows right from wrong in a human concept. He would not be worth a small fortune otherwise. Cyberlife built him with specific features that are high quality.
The detective wrinkled his nose. A physical tick. The habit is becoming a nuance in his formulated range of expression. Cyberlife as an idea now only causes him distaste.
“Connor.” She smiled, sighing a minute. “No, I’m alright. Just a little tired is all.” Getting up from her station, Jade handed him a data pad. “This is my result. Think Fowler would find the current analysis unexpected.” Well she can be proud of that at any rate.
His lips twitched at her tone. It was full of mirth, playfulness. “Unpredictability is a route cause for unexpected results. Some are quite interesting.”
“You don’t say?” Jade allowed her smile to brighten. “Oh, um. Have you seen Cassius? I was hoping to talk to him.”
Connor shook his head. “I haven’t seen him. Though last I did he was on call with Detective Reed.”
“Oh,” she drawled expecting that to go well. “OK. I’ll see later then. Thank you, Connor.”
He blinked as she moved by him. Taking her belongings from the work station, he assumed she was heading out for her lunch break. Connor moved in the opposite direction. Taking the DNA record for proper storage, he scanned, analyzing each component. Remarkable how gifted she is in discovering new pieces left undetected from others. As an android he is designed to scout out information, reconstruct and preconstruct events; her talent is natural.
Connor paused. Overhearing voices, he narrowed eyes on the loud source of obnoxious banter.
“Maybe next time you won’t slow me the fuck down, Tin Man.” Gavin sneered at the RK900 before heading for the breakroom.
That is enough to cause a glare. “Cassius,” the android called out to the other. “Ms Winthrope wanted to talk to you. However, I believe she went to lunch. Though it seems you have been busy with Reed.”
