āNo?ā He turns rapidly, hearing the sharp answer to his order. āDid I stutter?ā He hisses out, tilting his head. He just looks again at the officer -- K - stated to be a model of replicant -- there wasnāt much of them in Detroit, in the end, the city was capital of android production. Model meant to track older models, similar to him. And right now, for that split second, Allen wasnāt so sure if he didnāt miss something - in the end, K probably knew more than him. Allen was simply ordered to assist the Nexus-9 model, and make sure that the replicant of the 8s model - that made its way to the Detroit - Ā will be apprehended and āretiredā. That is why they sent KD6-3.7 Detective.
And now, when Allen finally knew where the rouge replicant was and when Allen was ready to carry out the plan, the Nexus-9 just disagreed. And yes, listening to it - as it had better knowledge than Allen about the replicants - seemed like a reasonable idea. For most of the time. But so did the plan of apprehending the replicant with a team of four people, picked from Allenās unit. And at that moment, Allen just assumed that the Nexus-9 model had just a contradictory plan of his own.Ā
āWe are in my city, we will do it on my terms.ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā ā āā K stood his ground, feet firmly planted when the squad leader wheels on him to question his obedience. He tries to level with the manās stance, gaze unbreaking from the Captainās eyes. In all his existence, heās been expected to bend to this kind of authority and intimidation.To be scrutinized.To be ordered. To be obedient.
But this wasnāt about defiance, more that he knows exactly what they were currently up against.Ā Humans are so possessive and territorial, they measure their worth with what they own. K wasnāt a threat to that.
ā With all due respect, Sir, ā he paused,Ā his voice soft and mild mannered. Not in any way at odds with the man.Ā ā I think I know more about what weāre dealing with here than you. Itās my job. āĀ A Replicant ordered to hunt down his own kind.
He tells the Captain he had no doubt that he and his team were more knowledgeable about the whole perimeter. This was, after all, his city, as he had put it.
ā ...But we gotta be careful. Heās aĀ Military issue-- ā K shows the captain a datapad of the Replicantās profile.Ā
Elite Nexus-8 Model capable of infiltration, assassination and specifically adapted for marine combat.
He steps back, watching the manās expression as he read. The Captain has probably never dealt with Replicants before. Androids were far more disposable and can be easily terminated. Replicants arenāt.
ā Heās a whole different beast. You take him down with brute force, he will fight back. ā he studies the man again, eyes searching.Ā ā Let me go in alone. ā
