Idk I'm having so many thoughts rn
I'm thinking about how Connor's social relations programming really.. doesn't work?? He does not integrate seamlessly into any human interaction he ever has
I'm thinking about how the timing of when Connor was made is super suspicious, sandwiched between the military ordering 200k units from CyberLife and the deviancy problem spreading, and how CyberLife likely thought they could kill 2 birds with one stone by using their not-quite-finished RK900 programming to quell deviancy so they can get their huge payday from the government
I'm thinking about how there are enough Connors made that no matter how many times he dies he can always come back, and that they can activate a second Connor that somehow is very different in personality than the first one, but except for that one outlier they only ever activate one Connor at a time instead of making the RK800 a model line
I'm thinking about how it says in the RK900 gallery entry that "all the glitches in the programming of the RK800 have been fixed" or something like that, meaning Connor was just a guinea pig to test the early versions of the programming
I'm thinking about Connor saying, "That's not my social relations programming talking, I really mean that! At least, I think I do." He doesn't know where his programming ends and he begins
I'm thinking about how Connor was made to be a deviant from the beginning, when Kara or Markus disobey an order they have to break through the deviance wall, but Connor can disobey orders left and right and all he gets is software instability
I'm thinking about how because of Connor being a deviant they had to program an abusive mom into his head to keep him in line
I'm thinking about how that abusive mom so easily takes control of Connor's body, how it says that she can shut Connor down at any time, but she never does that through the whole game where Connor is showing clear signs of no longer being in her control and of going truly fully deviant, instead only asking Connor why he's making the choices he is, asking him at what point he's starting to feel emotions, what is the thought process behind his decision making
I'm thinking about how Connor was made a deviant on purpose to study deviance
I'm thinking about how that second Connor that was activated has all of Connor's memories uploaded into his head, presumably including the memory of Connor formally deviating, but is still not a deviant and is so different in personality from Connor that he wonders why CONNOR of all people would ask questions, Connor who is literally programmed to ask questions and investigate, why would RK800-60 be so different?
I'm thinking about how they've already gathered so much data from Connor being out in the field (and considering how quickly RK900 is unveiled at the end of Machine Connor route) that they're already using all that data to refine the programming and maybe that's why 60 is so different in programming and personality, maybe the more-refined programming has been used in him as yet another guinea pig
I'm thinking about how the "glitches" or whatever word they used in the RK800 programming was him purposefully being designed to be a deviant, and that's what's "fixed" in the RK900, which is why 60 isn't a deviant
I'm thinking about the months between August and November, what was Connor doing for all that time? And what was it like whenever he went back to CyberLife, or was woken up in a new body at CyberLife?
I'm thinking about Connor living in a little observation chamber where he's constantly being watching by CyberLife workers, and doesn't realize until months after the revolution how not normal that was for an android
I'm thinking about how the RK900s look exactly like Connor, and how the official name of the RK900 line is Connor
I'm thinking again about Connor's social relations programming not working because it was never intended to work, the RK900s won't need that since they'll pretty much only be working with other androids, and how they never make the RK800 into a model line because they never intended to make android detectives, there's only Connor who was born of the convenience of killing 2 birds with one stone, and the social relations programming is something CyberLife came up with to pretend that the RK800 isn't a guinea pig and a stepping stone to the real model coming out next year
I'm thinking about how Connor was never supposed to exist, and at the end of a Machine Connor route how quickly they kill him proving he was never intended to do everything they touted him to do, but yet despite Connor being nothing but a lab rat his soul and personality are so real and so strong that he defied CyberLife at EVERY turn and because of this one prototype stepping stone android that was only supposed to gather data, androids were able to gain their freedom and Connor was able to gain a real, full life
I'm thinking about how Connor knows almost none of this
