Headcanon: The reason Connor is so awkward and socially inept is because being that 😀Friendly Coworker😀 is uncomfortable and unnatural for him. His true personality is actually comparatively unpalatable.

More like a headcanon, but I like this one

If Connor were to stick to his promise and repair Daniel do you think it’d be easier to just pop his head off and plunk it onto a fresh PL600 body given that way he’d just need to take care of his head injuries

bc I can’t imagine the latter he’d be very pleased waking up to find out his pants were torn to swim trunks

They did, in fact, jump off of it. 

Based on a text post by @incorrect-rk1k.

Tragically, Connor did not talk to Markus for like a solid week after it made the news. 

[ltcolonelcarter]

He really liked you, Lieutenant. That's what killed him. ↳ Sixty shoots Connor - the androids stay dormant

[thirium-drinker]

I really should draw Markus and Kara more but the dbh coppaganda really got to me

i just thought of the stupidest headcanon ever: deviant connor now attempts to greet hank with a hug every time ever since the chicken feed hug. he doesn't care. he's a deviant he can do what he wants. and if that means he opens his arms up for hank in the office and hank has to embarrassingly reject and swerve out the way and then get hugged from behind and then push him away-- lmao

second stupid headcanon: connor turns into a hugger after the chicken feed and he attempts to hug everyone instead of a handshake because hand = android greeting and hug = human greeting. he saw some teenage girls on the street hug each other why can't he do it. "captain fowler you wanted to speak with me?" leans in for a hug

Case given to Hank:

"investigate the android cases and see if there's any link"

What deviancy is about:

rA9 clues are present in almost every case, likely a myth or savior figure

All cases involved androids having emotional shock, often being self-defense or witnessing androids being treated like androids

The answer is: YES, the cases GOT A LINK. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

Apart from Connor giving CyberLife info they already have the mission is OVER. They already know what deviancy is and when it happens and what causes.

Then we got Markus speech

There's an organization made of deviants

rA9 points at this organization

(Connor finds out the relation between the leader, Kamski and his own series)

It's just a matter of checking evidence if these deviants point towards anything related to this org, a HQ or anything - something they would find.

What may be the issue with this whole thing:

Connor ain't working with the DPD at all, the case assigned to Hank ain't the same.

Connor was sent to hunt deviants, not assist DPD in 'em case. They needed do it in a legal way so they assigned the guy to a lieutenant that could give him access to crime scenes and evidences. So this "finding the cause of deviancy" or anything related to "finding if the cases are related" was never Connor's mission. He's there to take deviants out of the streets from start and they just needed a excuse. The cases started becoming more alarming and frequent with time, after all.

So, "solve the case" what case? The "excuse" case was already solved, mf even discovered CL got something to do with all this. It was all just a matter of finding this "organization", something they could've done before the feds took over or even before the org itself grew up.

Conclusion: the investigation arc is about 3 things

Finding out CyberLife was lying and they got something shady behind all this shit

Finding out Markus relation with Kamski, which also involves Amanda and Connor himself

Finding out deviancy is related to emotional shock and rA9 - presumably a savior basically all androids seek

None of 'em are related to DPD, but Connor needed access to some shit and the legal way was using DPD. It's Connor's mission (only) finding a way of stopping the deviancy issue, either by collecting all androids to disassemble or killing 'em. It includes Jericho rebellion (later).

So no, idk wtf Hank was talking about related to almost solving the case. They got both the knife and the cheese in hands.

I know investigations like these ain't a week thing, some shit are just slow normally cuz we're dealing with humans. But here we're talking about androids in a case that needs to be dealt with asap - another reason they got an android like Connor there. Idk if it would be a month thing if Markus didn't started a revolution, they were concerned with solving the cases before the shit hit the fan, similar to Amanda needing it done asap before the media finds out. The problem is: EVERYBODY KNEW THERE'S SOMETHING HAPPENING, INCLUDING THE MEDIA.

It tells me 2 things:

Either CyebrLife knew there were a possibility with the numbers rising exponentially a rebellion would start and a group like Jericho be formed (meaning they know the deal about rA9) and that's the only concern they had and the reason they wanted Connor to deal with all androids

Or the hurry they had with the case was to find out about things quickly before it became a federal thing, something that catches even more attention and rumors.

Maybe both.

All this big ass post to explain why DPD's case not being solved is super weird like they were just waiting for something to happen even tho they already had answers and was just a matter of telling people what to do. And what to do? Find this place where androids are reuniting after analysing the clues and working with CyberLife a way of tracking missing androids. How to stop deviancy once and for all? That's a good question I bet nobody can answer, maybe cuz ain't got an answer, maybe u just can't. What u can do is try collecting these "defective" androids, destroying generations and replacing with better systems, preferably if away from Kamski's design.

Yoooooo! It's been a hot minute since I posted a new prompt, but here's something I've been thinking about for a few days now? Consider:

AU where Cole was born much earlier, back before Hank's career really kicked off. He follows his ol' dad into the police force, joining the DPD the summer of 2035. However, that same year, a freak ice storm takes the city. Hank had been planning to visit Cole in his first apartment, promising him that "the roads aren't that bad, don't worry about it." The next call Cole receives is from Detroit Regional Hospital, asking for a next of kin. Cole rushes there himself, heedless of the horrible state of the roads, to find his father in surgery, a medical android operating. Anxiously, he waits through the night, fidgeting in the uncomfortable plastic chairs outside the operating theater.

He receives the news the next morning. Hank had suffered some serious injuries including multiple concussions, and had fallen into a coma during the surgeries. He's told there's no way to know when or if he might wake. The sight of the medical android leaving the theater with the same placid expression on its face as off of the things haunts him long after that night.

For three long years, he's consoled with platitudes of "it might be any day now." For three long years, he visits his father regularly, hoping to spark some change in the man. For three long years, he throws himself into his work, hoping to forget that this was all his fault. That Hank had been out because of him. That he was laid up in a sterile room for years because of him.

And almost three years later, his hard work pays off. His promotion to detective coincides with a surge in deviancy cases. And Cole Anderson, professional workaholic, newly-instated rookie, who's father's big shoes he will fill or die trying, has a proposition for the captain:

"Assign me this case," he demands.

"This is high profile, rookie. The sergeant will handle it," Fowler replies.

"Sir, the sergeant hates androids. I can work with it. Perhaps even mediate."

"Seem to recall you not being a fan either, Anderson."

And Cole grits his teeth, flashbacks of an android in bloody scrubs running through his mind. But he says, "I'm not, sir. But I need…" And here he hesitates, looking away from Fowler's piercing gaze. "… I need something… substantial… at this time of year…"

And the office is quiet for a few seconds more before he hears Fowler sigh. And Cole knows he's won this. "Alright, Anderson. Alright. I'll add you to the case. But Reed takes lead, you hear me? No going off on your own, kid."

Smartly, Cole salutes, knowing when to let sleeping dogs lie. "Thank you, Captain. You won't regret it."

"But Reed might," he hears the man mutter as he closes the door behind him.

Cole smirks, returning to his desk and the case files he'd been finishing up. Deviancy, he thinks. Perhaps this is the missing link. The key to proving androids can't be trusted in sensitive situations. That his father's condition was a result of malpractice, not routine. That they, too, shoulder some of the blame.

Two days later, Cole meets Connor. And that is when he knows his theory is right.

Or! The one where Hank is out of commission and an adult Cole Anderson is assigned to the deviancy case alongside Connor and Gavin. Through peril and hardship, the three must learn to work together to solve the greatest mystery Detroit has ever known, or risk letting the menace known as deviancy roam free. And meanwhile, tempers flare, worldviews shift, and all three learn there's perhaps more to life than just being human.
