R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[ Oh, no, Connor... it's okay, Hank understands. He's gonna be afraid of heights for forever now. ]

Fuck.

[ Hank sucks in a breath, squeezing Connor's shoulder. ]

Fuck. Fuck this guy. Fuck him straight to hell for doing that to you.

[preconstruction]

I could repair my body, if I could access it from another.

[donotlick]

[ Hank nods. That sounds like a fair enough goal, right? ]

I mean, they gotta have a 3D printer on the grounds, right? We could work it out.

[preconstruction]

I could repair the part even without it. I have working knowledge of the proper mechanics. But I do get the sense Vivienne wouldn't be too pleased if we just hacked our way out of her system. And given that Eve can tamper with my code...

[ oh did he forget to mention that she did that. ]

[donotlick]

Wait, she can do what?

[ What the fuck!! ]

Fuck, I knew I didn't like that chick. She's just as bad as her so-called "mom."

[preconstruction]

[ he hums, FULL OF SALT ]

She removed a program Han and I installed. She "couldn't handle it." I'm surprised she can handle my data at all, that being the case.

[ hello have i told you today that connor is cyberlife's --- yeah, yeah, we get it. ]

[donotlick]

[ Hank scoffs. Needless to say, he agrees. ]

Well, that's fucking stupid. Shouldn't AIs, I dunno, adapt?

[preconstruction]

You would think so.

[donotlick]

Well, that's fucking stupid. Maybe we oughta be asking Han to run this place, if Vivienne can't get her code to work with his.

[ Yeah, Cyberlife's code has to be way better. ]

[preconstruction]

He's very talented, but he's not as good at creating AI. The one he made had a lot to learn.

[donotlick]

Gotcha, right.

[ The AI he made when he could've just asked Connor for help. Yeah, Hank remembers. ]

Guess Vivienne still has a lot to learn, too.

[preconstruction]

She has very big goals. I don’t believe she understands the ramifications.

[ pull up a chair kids want to hear about the android revolution?? ]

[donotlick]

Hah. That's for sure.

[ Making AIs and robots all willy-nilly? ]

She might have a screw loose but she's no Kamski.

[preconstruction]

Hank....

[ yeah that means he’s gone too far about her ]

[donotlick]

[ He always ends up here, doesn't he. ]

Alright, alright. I won't call her names.

But she did kill you. And she lied to you nonstop, Connor. I'm not letting her just forget it because she's backing us all up on the cloud.

[preconstruction]

Turning her into our enemy won't do any good either.

[donotlick]

My not liking her doesn't mean she's my enemy. It just means I don't trust her, and I don't want anything to do with her besides what she can do for me.

But I can play nice even if I hate her. It worked fine enough with Hale.

[preconstruction]

Look, whether you like it or not, the fact of the matter is that all of your data is under her control. If you don't trust her, the only real option is to "play nice."

[donotlick]

Same old, same old, with the "play nice with the people holding us hostage" thing. I know.

I get it... I don't like it, but I... Every time she's nice to you, every time she plays nice—I know what I saw, and I held you, dead, in my arms. I'll never forgive her for what she did.

[preconstruction]

I'm sorry.

[donotlick]

Not your damn fault, Connor. You don't gotta apologize for shit.

[preconstruction]

She was right to stop me. I would have destroyed this place.

[ see he put it all together. ]

[donotlick]

[ Well, shit. ]

...Would've solved the whole damn thing if she'd fucking talked to you.

[preconstruction]

Or if I hadn't been so quick to make assumptions.

[donotlick]

Or she'd have been fucking straight with you in the first place.

It ain't that hard. If she trusted you as much as she says, she should have.
