"I've seen unlikely things," he concedes with a small grin. "Just nothing impossible, not back home."

Although an android gaining sapience was impossible...right up until it happened. So maybe he actually has seen the impossible.

"He sounds like a good person to be around." Connor - this Connor - has only really come to appreciate how lucky he is to have the occasional good person around him. His partner from home right here in the city. The leader of the revolution back in Detroit. Without them, he wouldn't be the person he is - wouldn't have known how to grow into anything more than an intelligent, but ultimately lifeless, machine.

"I never saw much of the world," he says, and he wishes it wasn't the truth. "I was in one city the whole time - it didn't occur to me to mind until I got here and met people who've seen so much more than I have. But my city was a little like this one - just less unpredictable. And there were a lot more people like me around - androids."

He taps his temple where the light is. "That's what the light means - it's my ID as an android."
