Connor: *small, almost sad grin* How he chooses to see and treat me and others of my kind doesn't change what we are. I am a machine designed to accomplish a task. In my particular case, as a prototype, I was programmed with all the newest social protocols and engineered with a variety of cutting-edge forensic hardware and software and investigative initiatives, but ultimately the task I was built for was to field-test all of that for the commercial model that followed me. Had Darnell been unwilling or unable to purchase me from the company that manufactured me, I would have been recalled for deactivation, likely with my biocomponents specialized equipment recovered for use in future units.
