There’s the snapping of that wire. Connor’s face goes all sharp edges and a deeper frown, LED flickering with this confirmation. North is all up in his face, but he’s still unmoving, and when he speaks he’s nothing short of accusatory—]
You’re a deviant.
[The world seems to jar itself out of alignment. A deviant, here of all places. The very reason for his existence, the core of his mission, to find them and to question them, to stop their upheaval back in Detroit. A mission fallen by the wayside, but now brought to the forefront in this one singular moment.
Of course. When he has no jurisdiction here, no authority to do anything about it, not even his own core functions that an android would normally possess to aid him. Only his power to question, to prod and to be probably very highly annoying to North from here on out.
(Maybe. Their abilities had worked briefly before. He wonders if he’s lucky, they’ll do the same for him now. Patience, first. Questions.)]

Aren’t you, North?
