Connor's Deviant Menu (A Detroit: Become Human Fanfiction

23: Echo and Wallet

——————————

One Hotel Later . . .

Connor was finishing up the installations he added to the pet androids. "Remarkably, these androids do have an error, but show no real signs of being ineffective. Your virus affects android animals in a better way than regular androids."

Now that they were away from the store, the SM 400 dog was responding more positively with both of them. The LS2 2000 kitten was exploring the ground and walking more appropriately since he uninstalled the tumble. It had even jumped on a windowsill to look out with no problem.

Best of all? "An android just walked by, a PL600, no errors detected so no deviancy, registered as Mark. "Good job, LS 2000. You are processing perfectly in synch with me."

"They really should have names," Kara said from her spot on the bed. "Everyone deserves a name, not a number."

"I have never named anything before," Connor said. "I just scan for names and information." The dog came over and started to lick him in the face. "Yes, hello, SM 400. You can use less of the saliva in your systems." It didn't listen and licked him more. "If any other deviant did this, it would be terminated already." He patted his head. "It is still a part of your programming, so it isn't a worry." It barked right near his auditory and used an echo locator that slightly reverberated its bark. "Yes, I am here, and I know you are there. No need to use that." It did again anyway.

Kara just smiled at him. It was so much different than the dead smile before. It just had much more vibrancy to it. It looked better on her. "When it comes down to it, the error will help them think faster on what they really want."

"The deviancy in them isn't helpful, it's just something I have to deal with since your touch is a virus to everything," Connor corrected her. The dog used echo location again. "Yes, I know you are there, and you can see that I am here. There is no need to use that feature."

The dog ran over toward Kara and used its echo location near her.

"Yes, I see you." She scratched behind its ears. "We aren't far. You're not alone anymore."

Right. That made sense, the deviancy would make it feel like its alive and could experience emotions. It could think it feels loneliness. "I've looked at the pet androids. Only one more error device to look at."

He went over where she was sitting and started to study her. Her systems seemed normal for what she had been. Her expressions seemed healthy. "I think the biggest conflict might have been from Rick corrupting your database."

"Does that mean I get to live and we can go back to Alice now?" Kara asked.

"Negatory. For one, you are not living," Connor reminded her. "For two, no. The Detroit Police want nothing to do with you. Also, your biggest corruptions have been repaired, but you are still causing deviancy." She pouted lightly, but tried to hide it. "Don't pout, investigating requires getting all the pieces first."

"Wallet."

Wallet? "Why did you say wallet?"

"For a name for the LS 2000," Kara said.

"Wallet. If it's in a purse, the word wallet wouldn't trigger as much attention," Connor agreed. "Plus, it's size and packed important features denotes a good comparison to be a-" The SM 400 licked him and barked in his auditory sensor again. "I was in the middle of talking." It used it's echo location again. "Disruption or Echo?"

"Echo is a good name," Kara said to him. "Good choice, Connor."

Echo apparently liked it too, as it used its echo location on him. Again.
