[BURSTING INTO HANK'S ROOM OR WHEREVER HANK AND CONNOR ARE]

Hank!

I just talked to--I--No, is Connor here? What happened?

[ connor is there, dressed and alert. his shirt is stained in blue, and he looks messy but he looks over her, blinking a few times as he processes her words. ]

Max...?

Oh what the fuck.

[Max makes a...noise. Maybe it's a sob, maybe it's a laugh, maybe frustration. It just emotion. She stumbles over to Connor and hugs him.]

Tell me you're okay, please tell me you're okay.

[ it takes him a moment to reciprocate, like it doesn't register with him; but surely that's just part of his reboot. ]

I am functioning.

[She doesn't let go of Connor, but glances at Hank.]

...I'm not sure what you mean.

Oh.

[ hank is right, probably. ]

Right. I -- yes, it's me. I'm sorry for scaring you. I was forcibly shut down, but Hank rebooted me.

Vivienne?

Oh Hank, Connor...

I just saw her, and...

[squeezes onto Connor a bit more.]

Something is really wrong. Something bad happened.

[ i don't care, i don't care, i dont care -- it flashes through his systems searing through everything he's got, like a child who wants to throw a fit. vivienne killed him. he'd watched the way she'd played with her emotions; the way she'd turned them off when she no longer felt they were necessary. it was a ploy he understood all too well because he'd done it countless times before.

it makes him think of daniel, bleeding out on the rooftop after the bullet had impacted his skull you lied to me connor yes, yes he had and now he understood all too well what it was like to be on the receiving end. no, it was more than that, wasn't it? he understood all too well what it was like to be the android playing that card in the first place. ]


What happened....?

[ he forces the words out although he feels an intense revulsion to them. he questions because knowledge is power and he has too little of it. but he would like nothing more than never to care about her agian, this woman who had scarred him on such a deep level. ]

It's not--No, guys...[she stammers, tensing up. It's not like they were wrong. No, they aren't wrong. Vivienne attacked Connor. Someone that supposedly loved him, loved all of them...Would she have done the same to Max? It doesn't make sense.]

So you know that she died, or killed herself, or whatever. I thought she was our ally, [she tenses even more, trying to keep herself from shaking too much as her thoughts catch up to her heart] but I was wrong.

I told you to trust her and look what she did. And now she's gone and we have no answers and no nothing.


I'm sorry Connor.

I'm sorry.

No -- I was the one who ---

[ but it's true, max had taught him to trust. but he doesn't blame her, only himself for putting that trust in the wrong place. but something she says makes him think. and he blinks a few times before extracting himself from there collective arms and so he can rummage through his pockets.

he finds a piece of paper that he tells himself to deal with later, and then produces a small memory card ]


No, we still have something.

[Max doesn't say anything, mostly because she doesn't believe either of their attempts to reassure her that this isn't somehow all her fault.]

...Did you get that from her?

It's a backup -- it's a a little over a week old now, but it's still something. I could read it. And maybe -- maybe we'll learn something.

[ but what good would learning do if he can be killed so easily? ]

[Robots. She finally lets go of Connor.]

If that's true, it's probably not a good idea to flash it around in the open. You should be extra careful about when and how you try to check what's on that.



...But you probably already know that.

I know.

[ after all, he had died ]
