Hi there
I dunno how long this will last before I lose interest or if I can somehow finish this
referring to androids as 'it' is painful help me
Underlined words are android telepathy
Italics are thoughts
Bold = you
Italics/bold = Connor
-----------------

Unlike Connor, you stayed inside the car while Hank had lunch. What was the point? Androids couldn't eat. Besides, Hank said to stay in the car.

A few minutes later, they came back to the car, apparently now going to investigate another deviant case sent a few minutes ago. Someone had reported strange sounds and an android trying to hide its LED.

-----Ew, bird poo-----

Connor had knocked on the door and ordered the deviant to open it. Obviously, nothing happened, so Hank had to kick the door open and told the two of you to stay behind him. He entered cautiously, pointing his gun everywhere, but then relaxed as there was no danger in sight. He scrunched his nose at the smell of dozens of pigeons and their waste, so you offered him a thin pollution mask. He looked at it suspiciously.
"Calm down, it's never been used before. I only work on deviant cases with you and Connor, remember?" Hank hesitated another moment before deciding to put it on, grumbling a quiet thanks.
Relationship | Hank ^
You waited around for Connor to finish analyzing the evidence. While you could do some of the things Connor did, such as analyzing blood and wounds, that wouldn't help much unless someone got injured.
Connor looked at the door in the ceiling, reaching for it when the deviant dropped down, temporarily stunning the RK800. The two of you gave chase, though Connor's model was better built for chasing, so you stayed behind them and looked for easier ways to catch up while also keeping an eye on Hank, the one to actually worry about. Connor could get replaced. Hank couldn't.
You and Connor were still running after the android named Rupert when it pushed Hank over the edge, leaving him struggling to climb back up.
Connor considered his choices as everything slowed down:

[X] Save Hank, let MD800 chase | Probability of survival: 99% | Capture rate: 80%
[O] Chase, let MD800 save Hank | Probability of survival: 90% | Capture rate: 99%

It seemed obvious: chase the deviant. However, Hank's survival rate was lower if the MD800 tried to save him. The MD800 did seem pretty skilled in persuasion; it had calmed the other deviants, so maybe it could capture the current one without the deviant dying.

>[X]<

"Chase the deviant, I'm getting Hank!" Connor yelled at you, already running towards Hank.
"Got it!"

Software Instability ^^^
Relationship | Hank ^^^ | Warm

You continued the chase, landing gracefully without losing momentum.
You and Rupert ended up at the edge.
"Please, don't... Let me go."
You considered it. After all, you were really only sent as medical aid. You weren't really required to do this.
Amanda wouldn't be able to complain, as she only existed in Connor's programs. Besides, you were only following what you were made to do.

[△] Handcuff Rupert now
[□ ] Let Rupert go
[X] Let Hank and Connor deal with Rupert
[O] Immobilize/'Kill' Rupert

>[X]<

Software Instability ^ This was worrying. Almost everything you did increased your software instability. Why? You were only doing the minimum of what you were designed to do.
You grabbed Rupert's arm to make sure he didn't try anything, and waited for Connor and Hank. Rupert kept trying to interface with you, but you cut off the attempts. A few seconds later, they arrived.
Hank pulled out his handcuffs and snapped them over Rupert's wrist.
"C'mon, we're going."
At first, the deviant obeyed, following them. A moment later, it turned around and sprinted towards the edge, jumping off and muttering, "RA9, save me."
You grabbed Rupert's arm, leaning over the edge, but he was too heavy and you wouldn't be able to hold on for more than thirty seconds before letting go or falling off.
Rupert took that moment to force its memories on you, startling you and forcing you to experience a new emotion: fear.
Software Instability ^^^
You panicked and let go of Rupert's arm, letting the deviant fall to its death. You backed away from the edge and sat there, LED a bright red.
"You okay? Your light's red." Hank kneeled down in front of you.
"Y-yeah, I'm... okay. The deviant... it forced its memories on me. I was scared." You slowly looked up. "What are these 'feelings'? I shouldn't be 'feeling,' I'm only an android! I'm a machine!" Your voice rose and your stress levels shot up to 70%.
What was happening?
