Connor: Is everything okay, Lieutenant? Hank: Chris was on patrol last night. He was attacked by a bunch of deviants... He said he was saved by Markus himself... Connor: Is Chris okay? Hank: Yeah, he's in shock, but... he's alive... What the hell...
-INSTINCT Connor: I have a bad feeling, Lieutenant. We shouldn't have come here. Hank: Bad feeling, huh? Should get your program checked. Might be a glitch...
Hank: Hi... Uh... I'm, er, Lieutenant Hank Anderson, Detroit Police Department. I'm here to see, uh, Mr. Elijah Kamski. Chloe: Please, come in. Hank: Okay. Chloe: I'll let Elijah know you're here. But please, make yourself comfortable.
>WAIT FOR THE ANDROID
Hank: Nice girl...
-ANALYTICAL Connor: An RT600. The first CyberLife android to pass the Turing test. Hank: I didn't ask for her technical specs... I just said she was nice...

Connor: Amanda...
Hank: Nice place... Guess androids haven't been a bad thing for everybody... So, you're about to meet your maker, Connor. How does it feel?
-DISTANT Connor: I dunno... I'll tell you when I see him.
Hank: Sometimes I wish I could meet my creator face to face... I'd have a couple of things I'd wanna tell him.
Chloe: Elijah will see you now. Hank: Mister Kamski? Kamski: Just a moment, please. Hank: I'm Lieutenant Anderson. This is Connor. Kamski: What can I do for you, Lieutenant? Hank: Sir, we're investigating deviants. I know you left CyberLife years ago, but I was hoping you'd be able to tell us something we don't know. Kamski: Deviants... Fascinating, aren't they? Perfect beings with infinite intelligence, and now they have free will. Machines are so superior to us, confrontation was inevitable... Humanity's greatest achievement threatens to be its downfall. Isn't it ironic?
-WAR Connor: If a war breaks out between humans and deviants, millions could die, Mr. Kamski. It's quite a serious matter.
Kamski: All ideas are viruses that spread like epidemics... Is the desire to be free a contagious disease? Hank: Listen, I didn't come here to talk philosophy. The machines you created may be planning a revolution. Either you can tell us something that'll be helpful, or we will be on our way. Kamski: What about you, Connor? Whose side are you on?
-DEFENSIVE Connor: It's not about me, Mr. Kamski. All I want is to solve this case.
Kamski: Well, that's what you're programmed to say. But you... what do you really want?
-DEFENSIVE Connor: I'm sorry, but I don't see what you're getting at. (SOFTWARE INSTABILITY ^)
Kamski: Chloe? I'm sure you're familiar with the Turing test. Mere formality. Simple question of algorithms and computing capacity. What interests me is whether machines are capable of empathy. I call it "the Kamski test," it's very simple, you'll see. Magnificent, isn't it? One of the first intelligent models developed by CyberLife. Young and beautiful forever. A flower that will never wither. But what is it really? Piece of plastic imitating a human? Or a living being... with a soul? It's up to you to answer that fascinating question, Connor. Destroy this machine and I'll tell you all I know. Or spare it, if you feel it's alive... but you'll leave here without having learnt anything from me. Hank: Okay, I think we're done here. Come on, Connor. Let's go. Sorry to get you outta your pool. Kamski: What's more important to you, Connor? Your investigation, or the life of this android? Decide who you are. An obedient machine... Or a living being endowed with free will... Hank: That's enough! Connor, we're leaving. Kamski: Pull the trigger— Hank: Connor! Don't. Kamski: —and I'll tell you what you wanna know.
-DON'T SHOOT (SOFTWARE INSTABILITY ^^^) Kamski: Fascinating... CyberLife's last chance to save humanity... is itself a deviant... Connor: I'm... I'm not a deviant. Kamski: You preferred to spare a machine rather than accomplish your mission. You saw a living being in this android. You showed empathy. A war is coming... you'll have to choose your side. Will you betray your own people or stand up against your creators? What could be worse than having to choose between two evils? Hank: Let's get outta here...
Kamski: By the way... I always leave an emergency exit in my programs... You never know...
[HANK THOUGHT CONNOR MADE THE RIGHT DECISION]
Hank: Why didn't you shoot? Connor: I just saw that girl's eyes... and I couldn't, that's all. Hank: You're always saying you would do anything to accomplish your mission. That was our chance to learn something, and you let it go... Connor: Yeah, I know what I should've done, I told you I couldn't! I'm sorry, okay? Hank: Well maybe you did the right thing. (HANK ^^^)
