Flash: You look pretty nice all dressed up. *will lead him down the hall.*

Connor: *that gets a proud little grin from him* Thank you, Flashpoint.

Flash: *smiles at his bit of preening. She steps into a large room. She motions at where some Thirium has been set out for him.* Go ahead and get yourself some fuel. I need to go back to wait for the next person.

*The room isn't full, but it's not empty either. Those there are those bought from Oil.*

Data: *Connor will likely spot him huddled in a corner.*

Connor: *does indeed spot him. Not sure when he'll be allowed to fuel again, he'll pick up enough to top himself off, then head over to the poor guy*

Data: *already looking at Connor, and gives him a smile when the android approaches.* Connor…

Connor: *will settle next to him* How are you doing?

Data: I'm... I'm /really/ good actually. He... he repaired me, Master did. Completely…

Connor: *nods* I'm glad. I think you're going to be okay now. This mech is working with another, Shai's friend and "master," who intends to expose Oilslick for the criminal he is and have him taken down. They seem like good people.

Data: *looks at him, baffled* ...She was a spy?

Data: You can’t prove that you have no soul any more than Darnell could prove he /does/ have one, and just because I don’t know how to take myself apart doesn’t mean I couldn’t be dismantled while alive. You’re more than just your parts Connor. You can worry for your partner, fear for his safety... enjoy his company, or did your designers plan for you to have feelings too and not just simulate them?

Connor: …… *looks away, seeming to close off at that, his LED flickering red before settling to yellow as he reassembles and redresses himself* I'm just a machine, Datashift. Machines don't feel anything.

Data: ...You’re lying to yourself if you really think that. I’ve seen otherwise in you. I think Darnell does too, it’s why he bought you, I bet, to keep your makers from destroying you.

Connor: *voice flat, still not looking at him, LED shifting to red* Any android that is found to exhibit deviations from its programming, errors in its software, is destroyed for public safety reasons. *so yes...he clings to that, truth or lie*
