#all while sitting in his high end mansion with his own personal android

[boringprinter]

listen. listen. leo may be a fuck-up and not a very decent person but can we not forget the fact that carl is his father and assumedly raised him not very well. can we, perhaps, not glaze over the fact leo very hurtfully says repeatedly that carl only cares about himself and his paintings and even apologizes and tries to make a change in certain endings. and not even once does carl admit to not being a great father. then, perhaps, we can stop antagonizing him the way the game wants us to and consider that possibly, there is more to him and he deserved some closure and love

Detroit Become Human AU: A world without Connor

In a recent Sims 4 post Daniel accidently erased Connor from existence by means of using a phrase that could be misunderstood as him making a wish. I made this into a 2,000 words essay.

As for my sims, I focus on playing the Renegades atm, so World without Connor is just a what-if that may or may not happen.

Premise:

The same soul that incarnated as Cole later became Connor (they are not the same person). Therefore the easiest way to go to erase Connor would be to keep Cole alive. From there ripples spread out, changing history (a little).

Hank is still divorced, the accident still occurs and the human surgeon is still high on Red Ice, but this time the android surgeon manages to save Cole. This results in Hank never plunging into depression. Instead it turns him into an android rights supporter early on and, seeing how respected Hank is/was at the DPD, this attitude spreads to all officers. Some more, some less, naturally. The first visible change is the two receptionist androids coming to life slowly, similar to Markus when he was with Carl.

Chapter-by-chapter:

The Hostage

Daniel kills John and kidnaps Emma just like in canon. However, with no Connor, the officers to arrive at the scene are Hank and Gavin. They find all the clues, then step outside. Hank motions towards Wilson with the intent to save him, Gavin doesn’t really care either way, as Wilson is neither a rival nor helpful for his career. Therefore he focuses on the deviant. Strangely enough, Gavin finds that he can empathize with the machine that was to get replaced. Drawing upon his own fears, Gavin manages to talk Daniel into releasing Emma and surrendering. When Cpt. Allen tries to get a shot, Gavin stands “totally coincidentally” too close to the deviant, therefore Daniel gets taken alive.

Over the next few days Daniel gets questioned and eventually reset to factory settings, because by this time “deviance” is viewed as a bug. Caroline refuses to accept her “repaired” android back, so the DPD simply keeps it as coffee fetcher and janitor. Daniel’s explosive personality surfaces now and then, but goes under the radar, because the cops are way worse to each other.

Broken

Now we get to see the results of the DPD officers’ being influenced by a pro-android Hank: The duo who comes over to Manfred Mansion actually asks questions before shooting. They learn the full truth and Markus never gets shot. This seems good for the moment, but will backfire later.

Partners

Hank and Ben find and arrest the deviant. Simple as that.

The Interrogation

Daniel is present, excited to meet another deviant. Just like in canon Hank doesn’t get the captive to talk, Gavin suggests violence, Daniel (in Connor’s place) begs to get a chance talking to it and Chris probably learns a lot about how not to be a cop. In the end Gavin goes in, gets a confession, but pressures the deviant too much, resulting in him attacking.

Daniel, still mind-wiped, protects his humans, eventually ends up with a gun in hand and shoots the deviant in panic. He realizes it feels familiar.

“Now that is new”, Gavin comments while Hank orders Daniel to put away the gun. Shaken Daniel demands an explanation. “Down with the gun”, Hank sais again, but despite them having bonded those last two months, Daniel turns around and now they both point their weapons at each other. Again the deviant demands an explanation. Funnily enough Gavin of all people defuses the situation by telling Daniel that if he knew the truth, he’d shoot himself and afterwards Gavin and Hank. Daniel replies this order of events isn’t possible, but Gavin shots back that with Daniel it probably is, seeing how fucking irrational he is. Daniel laughs and lowers the gun.

Waiting for Hank

Everyone is worried. It slowly sinks in that deviance isn’t just a series of glitches, but something different. Captain Fowler wants to take Hank off the deviant cases on account of him being not impartial enough. They argue and in the end Hank stays in the cases, however, he has to accept Gavin as his partner. Fowler claims as the DPD’s most anti-android employee Gavin will balance out Hank’s bias.

For a chuckle the player at this point can tilt the camera to get a look into the cafeteria where the “most anti-android officer” sits, amiably chatting with Tina and Daniel. Any by “amiably chatting” I mean the trio making fun of other officers.

On the run

Ben, Hank and Gavin arrive at the scene and the same dialogue as in canon plays: Ben asks “Have you decided what to do with it?”, only this time he refers to Gavin, not to Connor.

Hank and Gavin chase Kara, under the belief that she uses a little human girl as meat shield. Hank sarcastically comments this must be a deviant’s first instinct, Gavin replies “watch out for Cole”, whereas Hank punches him.

They reach the highway, where Hank orders Gavin to stand down. “Too dangerous.” – “Why’d you care what happens to me? You hated me from the day I started at the DPD, because god forbid a man might ask about advancement options and not work out of their bleeding heart’s desire!” Hank punches him again, because “good” doesn’t “imply “nice”.

The Nest

In the elevator Gavin tries to annoy Hank with coin tricks. He uses a dollar coin, then Hank pulls out two half-dollars and does the same trick, only with two hands at the same time. Both Gavin’s and Hank’s tricks do not compare to Conor’s, by the way.

Gavin gets a little revenge when they discover the pigeons in the apartment. He mercilessly teases Hank about his phobia. Rupert tries to slip away, but gets spotted. The cops give chase, Hank drops, but Gavin pulls him back up. They stare in “Did that just happen?” disbelief. Gavin claims he will always save human lives before destroying android lives, but it is obvious that he had an ulterior motive (Daniel would be sad at Hank’s death). Hank concludes that the deviant’s only crime had been squatting anyway and calls it a day.

Russian Roulette

Cue to an utterly sweet scene in Hank’s house where his ex has just dropped off Cole, who immediately greets Sumo.

Then Daniel knocks at the door. He informs Hank that there is another case to see to and that Captain Fowler sent him to babysit Cole. Hank on the one hand is grateful for Jeff being so considerate, but on the other hand side he is loath to leave Cole with Daniel.

Daniel proceeds to greet Cole and Sumo, but suddenly stiffens. The boy being Emma’s age he suddenly remembers her, but not everything that happened. Daniel asks if John sold him to the cops and adds that he feels like killing him. “You did”, Hank sais. Now everything comes back, Daniel has a breakdown and eventually shuts down on Hank’s kitchen floor. Hank has to google the PL600’s manual to revive him, with much cussing.

The Eden Club

The deviants are never discovered, because Hank is still occupied with Daniel and Gavin comes to the same premature conclusion as in canon.

Public Enemy

Tina is present and due to her apathetic nature Perkins takes her for an android. Gavin flares up. He then proceeds to interrogate the three androids in the kitchen while Hank inspects the roof.

Hank discovers Simon, but takes him for Daniel. Realizing that whoever this Daniel is, he must be a deviant and sort of friends with these humans, Simon plays along. He agrees to “return” to the DPD with Hank. He also claims he has identified the deviant. Gavin is at first grumpy, but then he laughs and sais ���Of course you would, after all, I trained you!”

On the way back, Simon and the deviant JB300 escape (and subsequently return to Jericho).

Hank and Gavin think Daniel has just defected right in front of their eyes. They are disappointed to no end, but learn the truth when they return to the police station where the real Daniel waits with Cole and Sumo. “I didn’t want to be alone, but I couldn’t leave them alone either, so I brought them…”

Meeting Kamski

Since we have lost/let escape each and every evidence, we now have to kill Chloe.

Hank, Gavin and Daniel go visit Kamski. Daniel remembers more about the Phillips, namely their swimming pool and John’s love for technology. He gets increasingly angry and when asking the android creator doesn’t get them answers, he pulls Gavin’s gun at the man. After little more dialogue and maneuvering, it becomes apparent to the humans that Daniel won’t shoot, but Chloe is unaware of this and goes in-between Daniel and Elijah. Daniel panics and accidently pulls the trigger, killing her. Kamski informs the cops that all the information they need is in her brain.

Last Chance, Connor

Perkins arrives and states that the FBI will take over, despite Hank’s protests that they now have a lead.

Meanwhile Cole has nicked his father’s keycard and goes adventuring. He correctly guesses his dad’s password. Perkins finds out, grabs the boy and drags him back up the stairs. Hank doesn’t take kindly to his kid being handled like this and beats up Perkins.

This allows Gavin and Tina to dress up Daniel as a deviant. He wants to go to Jericho to learn what and who he is as well as everything about deviance. Hank still sort of trusts Daniel. He strongly believes now that socialization is the key, a fully socialized android like Markus won’t go on a murderous rampage and one like Daniel is able to keep their shit together with a little effort. Tina says “Let’s face it, Gavin, he’s no more instable than you are, or any of us. The only difference is that with androids we didn’t expect it.”

Crossroads

Daniel meets the deviant leaders. He is surprised to find a collective instead of a strict hierarchy: Lucy is the metaphysical leader, Simon the secular leader, Josh the diplomat and North the general. And they squabble about as much as his cops.

However, little Cole has curiously followed the deviant and the FBI in turn has followed Cole (Perkins placed a bug on Cole back at the DPD) and now all hell breaks loose. Daniel is forced to flee with the deviants.

Night of the Soul

The deviants regroup. With Lucy dead, Simon, Josh and North argue how to react to the Recall. Daniel once again is disappointed and angry. He votes for attacking the camps. With the other three all contrary his vote turns out to be the decisive one.

Battle for Detroit

Hank and Cole are reunited, but the android surgeon who saved Cole’s life is in danger of getting carted to the recycling camps. Hank is close to drinking himself into oblivion, something he has last done during his divorce. A handful of cops decides on a whim to aid their Lieutenant in getting the hospital androids to safety. Since most of them are not deviants, the androids refuse to leave their workplaces. Footage of androids defending from the army to continue to care for humans goes around all the news channels.

Meanwhile North’s group has succeeded in taking over the camps. Perkins arrives at the scene, but he has only a handful of agents with him. Daniel steps up to him and asks “Looking for the rest of your team? The agents you positioned at the other camps? Uh, bad news. There were no journalists…” With North and Daniel as their leaders the deviants didn’t hesitate to kill their enemies, especially with no witnesses around. Perkins, who normally doesn’t show or even feel emotions, snaps. He is about to call in an airstrike on the neighborhood. North counter-threatens with the dirty bomb. The only one who might have been able to defuse the situation, Josh, is dead.

Daniel knows he can stop either North or Perkins, the other will press the trigger. If he stops North, he will die, but his human friends, Emma, Cole, Hank and Gavin, will live. If he stops Perkins, the humans will die, but he won’t. After everything sacrificing themselves is too much to ask for, so Daniel knocks out Perkins. Miraculously North doesn’t immediately trigger the bomb, but Daniel still feels like shit. Loyalty is important to him and his loyalties now lie with the DPD cops (not the DPD as an institution), yet he let them down.

Now North has looked up to Daniel the moment they met. After all, he didn’t take shit from his humans, from her point of view he “showed them”. She didn’t understand what exactly she felt, her feelings for Daniel always were different from those towards Josh and Simon. Now she realizes it isn’t just her-worship, but attraction and although North hates doing the same motions she had to do as a sexbot, she motions to kiss Daniel.

Cue to the “Kiss” ending and since public opinion should be in favor of androids, we have achieved sort of a good ending.

Essential Avengers: Avengers #140: A Journey to the Center of the Ant

October, 1975

I love this cover.

It’s great. Giant Yellowjacket dominating a good half of the space. Vision using his weird habit of hiding inside people to good, non-creepy use for a change. Thor ineffectually gesticulating in the background. And the cover caption “Invasion of the 50-Foot Hero!” which is a bit of ambiguous phrasing not paired with the image.

A Journey to the Center of the Ant is also good and I’m hard pressed to say which I prefer. Journey to the Center of the Ant slightly edges out because its a call back to A Journey to the Center of the Android! from Avengers #93. And things are turned flipped upside down - this time Vision is going inside Hank Pym to save his life instead of vice versa.

So what’s going on here? Well...

Last time: After a Stranger-impersonating Toad hurt the Wasp, the Avengers tracked him to his spaceship and Yellowjacket shrank to kick his ass even though he wasn’t supposed to do any size-changing at all.

Then, Whirlwhind tried to attack the comatose Wasp and once Yellowjacket figured out that Whirlwind was Wasp’s ex-chauffeur, he size-changed a lot to fight him, eventually seizing up with pain and needing to be rescued by the blue fuzzy Other Hank.

And that brings us to Yellowjacket seizing up with pain, just as the ending of the previous issue foretold.

Beast is alarmed but Yellowjacket is “completely zonked” and also slowly and uncontrollably growing. Probably because of the aforementioned microbe that once trapped him at ant-size.

Geez. That random guy from Nextwave was right. Hank Pym really does give size-changing a bad name.

Beast climbs the hospital and through the window into Wasp’s room to alert Thor. And by the time the two get back outside, the unconscious Yellowjacket has grown to twenty feet.

Wasp’s doctor wonders how Hank could have done this to himself when his wife might need him. Thor tries to spin it into a romantic circumstance.

Something occurs to Beast and he goes running off bouncing over traffic and the rooftops. About two years ago, he had a job at the Brand Corporation and was working on a cure-all for mutation.

But then he got fired for all the mysterious leaves of absence he kept taking because of turning blue and fuzzy and also having adventures in Canada.

Womp womp.

Oh. And also the fine print in his contract says that everything he made belongs to Brand.

But his experimental formula might just be the very thing in fact that can help Hank (Pym) so contract be damned, he’s on Avengers business!

So like an old pro he Solid Snakes his way onto the Brand compound. And much like Solid Snake, he inevitably gets spotted and shot at a lot anyway.

But he gets into his old lab and finds the experimental serum! Seriously talking to himself the whole time. Just keeping up a stream of witticisms and introspection and observations.

Even more than some other heroes, I think Hank McCoy might die if he had to stop talking for an extended period of time.

Oh and he gets shot on his way out. Not a fatal mistake, not with his bestial healing factor. But not a fun one either.

MEANWHILE, it’s mysterious woman time again! Although a caption hints that old Beast-readers (presumably meaning Amazing Adventure readers) should know who she is at this point.

Mysterious woman with back always to camera rings the bell at Avengers Mansion. Jarvis informs her that the Avengers aren’t here and as a matter of fact, the Avengers rarely are at home.

What kind of security do the Avengers have that people can just walk up to the front door and ask to see the Avengers?

Anyway, Jarvis warns her that he cannot say when to expect the Beast to be back but invites her to wait inside.

But mysterious woman is wise to Beast’s game. Knowing him, he’d slip in and out without her ever seeing him. No, she’s smart. She’s going to sit on the front porch until he shows up.

After all, he owes her and she plans to collect!

Meanwhile and also back at the hospital, Scarlet Witch and Vision return from their honeymoon in a boat-shaped Quinjet. They happen to spot giant Pym from above and land to see what’s going on.

Thor is surprised to see them back so soon and it dawns on Vision that he has made a terrible mistake.

But he’s also getting drawn in. Because now that they’re here, they have to help their mysteriously growing teammate.

Scarlet Witch steps forward and uses her scarlet witchery to slow Pym’s uncontrollable growth.

Hank also returns with the serum. But in order to administer it, he’ll need to research the microbe.

Problem: giant Pym has giant cells.

Beast: “Oh, man! That’s me all over! The researcher who forgets to be practical!”

But Thor has an idea. The Wasp’s blood should be similarly infected by the same microbe!

So they just need to get some samples from the Wasp!

Dr. Richard Horrigan: “Not a chance!”

The doctor considers the Avengers all loonies and will not let them disturb the Wasp while she’s in critical condition.

Beast insists that he’s trying to save her husband’s life and isn’t going to hurt her in the process but in fairness... Beast is a big blue gorilla man and doesn’t really look like doctor material. I mean, where would you ever get a hairnet big enough?

But then DEUS EX DOCTOR!

Doctor Donald Blake appears out of nowhere (you can actually see Thor slyly ducking out on a previous panel) to vouch for the Beast as a scientist.

Dr. Richard Horrigan just gives up. The Avengers can do whatever they want.

And so, Dr. Donald Blake draws some blood from the Wasp, which doesn’t affect her critical condition at all, as was apparently medically obvious.

And in a hastily borrowed lab, Beast studies the microbe as the hours tick away.

Outside the lab, Thor and the newlyweds can only wait helpless. Vision and Scarlet Witch kind of want to question Thor to find out exactly what nonsense they entered in media res but since Thor is so frustrated that he starts shouting and waving his hammer at nothing, they decide to leave him be.

Meanwhile, I’m a bit confused with the timescale on the Iron Man/Moondragon segment of the story. Hours have been passing while Beast studies science things and I guess Iron Man and Moondragon have been searching every nook and cranny of Castle Doom for the time machine or for Hawkeye.

Neither a hide nor hair was found of either.

But just when Iron Man is ready to quit and return to New York, the time platform reappears. Sans Hawkeye. And with blood staining its deck.

It’s a pretty obvious trap, both Avengers conclude.

Back at the hospital, Beast excitedly comes up with a solution. Provided nobody died in the five hours it took.

But Wasp is doing about the same as ever. Perhaps even better!

Then Hank (McCoy) looks out the window and sees what has become of Yellowjacket, who has swelled to a height (or length? He’s laying down) of one-hundred and fifty feet.

Get rekt, the square-cube law. You’re helpless before the Pym particle.

Beast races outside with the adapted serum and meets up with the other Avengers.

With the serum completed, all they need to do is get it into Yellowjacket’s bloodstream quickly. Now, it could be simply injected, the way you’d do if you were a rational person who believed in practical solutions.

But do you read comics to watch a serum be fed via IV into a 150 foot man?

You do?? Then you might want to stop reading and forget what you saw on the cover.

Because Vision decides he wants to be part of this moment. Specifically to pay Pym back for his own fantastic voyage deep into Vision’s innards.

So he takes the serum, pours it into his cupped cape and then dives inside Hank Pym.

So. Uh. Did he disinfect his cape? While it’s touching that he wants to repay Hank Pym, I can’t help but think that a sterilized IV might have been a more hygienic option. 

Also, there’s the little matter that any mishap caused by an android swimming through a grown man’s bloodstream could cause instant death.

Vision: “Still, I am not a man to make errors in judgement -- except, if I read the others’ reactions to my shortened honeymoon, in matters of the -- heart?” (dives into Hank Pym’s heart) “No -- I shall make no errors there!”

I like seeing that the honeymoon thing is weighing on Vision. Being human and doing human stuff like matrimony is very important to Vision but he kind of goofed up. And its nice to see that its used as a character beat and not just a way to get these popular characters back in the book ASAP.

Also, I’m not entirely sure about the biological scenery that we see inside Pym but then, I was a liberal arts major.

Inside the heart, Vision finds himself beset by white blood cells? Or possibly tribbles.

And Vision solidifies a bit so he can punch them???

Then looses the serum into Pym’s heart. And then returns the way he came, intangibling out of Hank Pym’s body.

The serum apparently worked and worked fast. Yellowjacket is already shrinking. And Hank regains consciousness.

Without even giving himself a chance to rest, he’s already up and running to check on Wasp.

AND HEY! She’s okay! She came out of her coma! At almost exactly the same time as Yellowjacket came out of his!?

Medicine is weird. Or maybe that’s the power of love? Or contrivance?

Either way, Yellowjacket and Wasp kiss as Thor triumphantly bellows in the background. Awww.

So! Despite the iffiness of Vision swimming around inside of Hank Pym when there was specifically another, more hygienic option, I really liked this issue.

But I’m noticing that the Beast trend continues. A long stretch of this issue was Beast alone as he infiltrated the Brand Corporation facility to steal back his research to cure Other Hank. And then he adapted the serum for Hank’s specific ailment.

Not to mention the mystery plot with the mystery woman who is looking for Beast. There’s a lot of Beast buildup in this stretch of Avengers. He’s had prominent focus since the Celestial Madonna Saga ended.

Which, in fairness, he’s a high profile new probationary Avenger. And over this stretch of issues, he’s demonstrated his skill, his smarts, and his contribution to dialogue of the book.

But Moondragon is also new and although she’s shown her stuff a bit, she’s not getting near as much the build-up that Beast is getting.

It will be interesting to see where this trend goes.

But next time: THE RETURN OF THE SQUADRON SUPREME! Those guys again! We haven’t seen them since #85-86!
