Chapter 12- Waiting for Mark and Y/N...

Sean is in the Pride garden. Sean finds Clementine.

Sean: Hello, Clementine.

Clementine: Sean... It's good to see you.

Sean found the deviant and got a confession out of it.

Clementine: Congratulations, Sean... Finding that deviant was far from easy, and the way you interrogated it was very clever. You've been remarkably efficient, Sean.

Sean: Thank you, Clementine.

Clementine: We've asked the NPD to transfer it to us for further study. It may teach us something about what happened. The interrogation seemed...challenging... What did you think of the deviant?

Sean says that he thought the deviant felt traumatized.

Sean: It showed signs of PTSD after being abused by its owner, as if its original program had been completely replaced by new instructions.

Clementine: This... Lieutenant and Detective Fischbach has been officially assigned to the deviancy case... What do you make of them?

Sean thinks that Mark and Y/N are intriguing characters.

Sean: I think they're irritable, and socially challenged. But I also think they used be 2 good detectives... They're 2 intriguing characters.

Clementine: Unfortunately, we have no choice but to work with them... What do you think is the best approach?

Sean thinks that being friendly with Mark and Y/N is the best approach.

Sean: I will try to establish a friendly relationship. If I can get them to trust me, it will be helpful for the investigation.

Clementine: More and more androids show signs of deviancy. There are millions in circulation. If they become unstable, the consequences will be disastrous. You are the most advanced prototype CyberLife has ever created. If anyone can figure out what's happening, it's you.

Sean: You can count on me, Clementine.

Clementine: Hurry, Sean. There's little time.

Sean walks into the police station. He talks to the android at the reception desk.

Android: Can I help you?

Sean: I'm here to see Lieutenant and Detective Fischbach.

Android: Do you have authorization?

Sean: Yes.

Android: Lieutenant and Detective Fischbach hasn't arrived yet, but you can wait at their desks.

Sean looks at the TV.

Michael Brinkley - CTN TV: Tensions in the Arctic have reached a new level, with a Russian carrier and an American patrol boat reported to have clashed last night. Several warning shots were exchanged, apparently with no damage or casualties to either side. The Minister for Defense, Denis Riggs, has spoken of "intolerable provocation that cannot go unanswered". The countries in the region, particularly Sweden and Skyrim, have called for military forces to withdraw and an international conference to be held. So far, there has been no response from either Moscow or Washington. We'll keep you informed minute by minute as the situation develops.

When Sean gets into the main area of the station. He asks some officers where Mark's and Y/N's desks are.

Sean : I'm looking for Lieutenant and Detective Fischbach's desk.

Android : It's those desks right there.

Sean talks with Asriel's android.

Deviant: They're gonna destroy me...

Sean is compassionate with the android.

Sean: I'm sorry. It's not what I wanted but there's nothing I can do. I know there's something you didn't tell me. I need to know, before they take you away...

Sean asks about the director.

Sean: What you wrote on the wall...the director... What does it mean?

Deviant: I'm going to die...

Ben: Open the cell, quick! Hurry! I'll call CyberLife... Clean this mess up...

Sean goes into the break room.

Jordan: Fuck, look at that... Our friend the plastic detective is back in town! Congratulations on last night, very impressive!

Sean greets Jordan.

Sean: Hello, Detective Frye.

Jordan: Never seen an android like you before... What model are you?

Sean answers Jordan's question.

Sean: RK800. I'm a prototype.

Jordan: A prototype? Android detective... So machines are gonna... replace us all...is that it?..Hey, bring me a coffee, dipshit! GET A MOVE ON!

Sean refuses to get Jordan a coffee.

Sean: I'm sorry, but I only take orders from Lieutenant and Detective Fischbach.

Jordan: Oh...Oh...If Mark and Y/N hadn't got in the way yesterday, I would've fucked you up for disobeying a human. Stay outta my way...'Cause next time... You won't get off so easy.

Sean looks at the TV.

Michael Brinkley - CTN TV: Several sources report that CyberLife has provided Newark Police with a prototype detective android. Although police assistant androids have existed for several years now, this would be the first case of an android being authorized to play an active role in criminal investigations. We contacted CyberLife for comment but no one was available to answer our questions.

Rosanna Cartland - KNC: The first book written by an artificial intelligence has just been published and to call it a success would be an understatement - Do Humans Dream of Mammalian Sheep? has shot to the top of the bestseller list. Moreover, critics are unanimous in their praise for the depth of thought and originality of this first work. Designed by CyberLife, the AI known as VOLTAIRE analyzed human centers of interest on social networks for several months before its complex algorithms generated the plot of the novel. According to several specialists, it will be very difficult for human authors to compete with these algorithms and the odds are that most of the books written in the coming years will be the work of artificial intelligence.

Sean finds Mark's and Y/N's desks.

Sean: Excuse me? Do you know what time Lieutenant and Detective Fischbach usually arrives?

Wilson: Depends on where they were the night before... If we're lucky, we'll see them before noon...

Sean: Thanks.

Sean talks to Chris Miller.

Chris: You still here? I thought your assignment was over.

Sean: It's just been extended.

Chris: Mark's and Y/N's gonna be overjoyed to hear that...You were right about that android... it's been quiet in the cell all night. Scheduled for transfer today.

Mark and Y/N arrive to the office and sees Sean.

Sean: It's good to see you again, Lieutenant and Detective.

Mark: Uh, Jesus...

Sims: Mark and Y/N! In my office!

Sean enters with Mark and Y/N and listens in to their conversation.

Sims: I've got ten new cases involving androids on my desk every day. We've always had isolated incidents, old ladies losing their android maid and that kind of crap... But now, we're getting reports of assaults and even homicides, like that guy last night... This isn't just CyberLife's problem anymore. It's now a criminal investigation and we've gotta deal with it before the shit hits the fan. I want you 2 to investigate these cases and see if there's any link.

Y/N: Why us? Why do we gotta be the ones to deal with this shit? We are the least qualified cops in the country to handle this case! We know jack shit about androids, Logun! We can barely change the settings on our own phones...

Sims: Everybody's overloaded. I think you 2 are perfectly qualified for this type of investigation.

Mark: Bullshit! The truth is nobody wants to investigate these fuckin' androids and you left us holdin' the bag!

Sims: CyberLife sent over this android to help with the investigation. It's a state-of-the-art prototype. It'll act as your partner.

Y/N: No fuckin' way! We don't need a partner, and certainly not this plastic prick!

Sims: Mark and Y/N, you 2 are seriously starting to piss me off! You are a police lieutenant and detective, you 2 are supposed to do what I say and shut your goddamn mouths!

Mark: You know what our goddamn mouths has to say to you, huh?

Sims: Ok, ok... I'll pretend like I didn't hear that, so I don't have to add any more pages to your disciplinary folders 'cause it already looks like a fuckin' novel! This conversation is over!

Y/N: Logun, Jesus Christ! Why are you doin' this to us? You know how much we hate these fuckin' things. Why you doin' this to us?

Sims: Listen, I've had just about enough of your bitching. Either you 2 do your job or you hand in your badges. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got work to do.

Mark and Y/N leave Logun's office and Sean is positive to Logun.

Sean: I'm very pleased to have joined the team. I can assure you I'll do my very best-

Sims: Close the door on your way out.

Sean: Have a nice day, Captain.

Sean leaves the office and talks to Mark and Y/N. Sean is understanding.

Sean: I get the impression my presence causes you 2 some inconvenience, Lieutenant and Detective. I'd like you 2 to know I'm very sorry about that. In any case, I'd like you 2 to know I'm very happy to be working with you 2. I'm sure we'll make a great team. Is there a desk anywhere I could use?

Mark: No one's using that one.

Sean asks about Mark's and Y/N's dog.

Sean: You 2 have a dog, right?

Y/N: How do you know that?

Sean: The dog hairs on your chairs. I like dogs. What's your dog's name?

Mark: What's it to you? Chica, we call her Chica.

Sean asks about the music Mark is listening to.

Sean: Do you listen to Knights of the Black Death? I really like that music. It's...full of energy...

Mark: You listen to Heavy Metal?

Sean: Well, I don't really listen to music, as such...but I'd like to.

Sean starts working.

Sean: If you 2 have any files on deviants, I'd like to take a look at them...

Y/N: Terminal's on your desk. Knock yourself out.

Sean: 243 files... The first dates back nine months... It all started in Newark... And quickly spread across the country...An AX400 is reported to have assaulted a man last night. That could be a good starting point for our investigation.

Mark: Uh, Jesus..

Sean is understanding towards Mark and Y/N.

Sean: I understand you're facing personal issues, Lieutenant and Detective, but you 2 need to move past them... and-

Y/N: Hey! Don't talk to us like you know us. We're not your friend and we don't need your advice, okay?

Sean is determined to get through to Mark and Y/N.

Sean: I've been assigned this mission, Lieutenant and Detective. I didn't come here to wait until you 2 feel like working.

Mark: Listen, asshole. If it was up to us, we'd throw the lot of you in a dumpster and set a match to it. So, stop pissing us off... or things are gonna get nasty.

Chris: Lieutenant and Detective...uh...sorry to disturb you 2. I have some information on the AX400 that attacked the guy last night... It's been seen in the Baritone district.

Y/N: We're on it.
