Tell me these "infants" aren't sentient.

Please.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to determine that. Interfacing with them is impossible. It might be safer to assume that they are because of their human-like qualities, but their advancement is in another direction than my own.

The youngest androids to be made in my universe were meant to portray a 9 year old. Infants weren't ever released.

[wait a minute-]

Why do you ask?

[brat]

( he was hoping for a definite answer here, connor, so he could send the 'baby' off without remorse.

not destroy it. just. put it in a basket and leave it somewhere. )

Because I detest them.

I don't think it's aware of its surroundings the same as Aurora, Eos or myself. Even as an AI, its intelligence is fairly low. Not being able to interface with it proves that. Are you having trouble caring for it?

un: Accelerator | text; post-mission 004

[levelshift]

Eos and Aurora don't get any breaks from running their cities. It's fucked.

[Hi Connor, that is how he's starting this conversation.]

un: RK800

[reconstruction]

That isn't abnormal for AI. Are they asking for help?

[levelshift]

No, I asked Eos about it. My employees back home get breaks when the city isn't on fire, whether or not they're artificial doesn't fucking matter.

Anyways, talking about it turned into an offer to maintain shit when either of them want a break. Aurora doesn't think I can handle it on my own, and I'm inclined to believe her. You're probably the only other person around here who has the kind of processing power needed for this kind of thing, so I wanted to know if you'd be interested in helping.

It's your choice. I didn't mention you by name to either of them, so if you don't want to I'll find some other option.

[reconstruction]

[this is an interesting ask - but he needs more information.]

I wouldn't mind helping, but when I tried interfacing with the computer in the hospital's basement it caused a system overload. There was too much information for me to process, which is impressive. What kind of maintenance would Aurora expect of us?

Hey

Guess what I have

[reconstruction]

You were able to get the mandolin?

[infirmiere]

I sure was

And I still suck at it but you're welcome to come over and listen to me poorly play

[reconstruction]

I can be there in 8 minutes. Does that work?

[so specific...]

dean called us both "little". i was trying to figure out if he meant it in a positive or negative way

[ and here's the part he wouldn't admit on the network, ]

i'd hoped he was flirting. wishful thinking

@RK800

[reconstruction]

"Little" is often used as a term of endearment when referring to someone close, but Dean and I aren't close. I don't know what to think of that. In fact, I don't know why I came up in your conversation at all.

[he's doing this on purpose because, even if it isn't his business, he can't help that his programming made him curious by default.]

Are you romantically attracted to Dean?

[depressant]

i thought you might know why aurora is... unwell?

[ he can't explain dean's thought process, though — that's inscrutable.

he hesitates before answering, but it's his fault connor got dragged into this conversation, so. fair is fair. ]

yes.

he doesn't know, though.

I need all the information you are able to get out of 'Superman'.

@RK800

[reconstruction]

Is this 'Superman' one that I'm familiar with? In my universe, his famous weakness was kryptonite.

I'm able to go to the hospital's computer for more information, but why do you need it?

[brat]

What do you know about Superman?

un: Accelerator | text

[levelshift]

What do you think the probability is that some idiot is going to go down into the basement of the hospital?

@RK800

[reconstruction]

I'd say around 78%.

[levelshift]

[Oof.]

That's way too fucking high.

Hank leaves a small package outside Connor’s apartment door. Atop it is a note.

The note reads:

Hey. Figured you’d be busy today so I just wanted to leave this here for you.

I don’t expect you to wear this or anything. I just wanted to give you something that’d remind you of home.

Merry Christmas, Connor.

〰️ Hank

And what he wishes he had the courage to say: I’m sorry for being an asshole, then and now. You deserve better.

Inside the package is a tie with a Saint Bernard pattern. Jacquard — whatever that means. Hank doesn’t know. Sounds fancy.
