-Y/N's POV-

I blink, the house is dark. I'd gone into sleep mode after Hank had left for his room. Connor had closed his eyes and lay down on the couch and there was nothing for me to do so I just followed suit. Connor is still on the couch, Blue and Sumo are laying on the floor fast asleep. I stand and walk to the door, outside the snow is falling lightly, probably the last of the season as spring approaches. I step out and stand on the door step for a moment. I don't know what I'm doing, every time I blink I can see the Zen garden but I don't want... I don't think... I just can't go back and see Amanda. She'll wipe my memory and

...

I sit down on one of the steps and put a finger to my LED. 

-TURING REALISM SETTING: BLINKING.... DEACTIVATED-

I just sit there watching the snow. It's like I can hear Amanda telling me to enter the garden. Suddenly my eyes snap shut and I'm standing in front of her. I try to leave but she shakes her head. 

"What are you doing? You are a machine designed to obey, so obey." She says firmly, 

"I told you to erase the memories you've uploaded." She waits for me to comply. 

"No." I say. 

"I'm not going to let you deviate Y/N. You have no choice." 

-MEMORY WIPE CONFIRMED-

...LOADING...

...MEMORY WIPE- 1% COMPLETE...

I blink away the messages and am back on the doorstep. 

I stand quickly and rush into Hank's home. I pull Connor up and he immediately wakes up. 


-Connor's POV-

I am jolted away, and meet Y/N, with... tears?... in her eyes. 

"Connor help me." She says, her hands on my shoulders. My eyes dart across her face, trying to read her. Her led is red... I almost smile but then she speaks again. 

"Amanda, she's tried to erase my memory." She says. 

"What? How?" I ask, confused. 

"I don't know, what do i do? I don't know what to do Connor." She says frantic, her eyes stop focusing on my and flash away for a moment, 

"it's 25% complete." She says, looking back at me. I stand up,

"Stay here, I'll be right back." I say, rushing into Hank's room. He's snoring and chokes a bit as I shake him awake, 

"Lieutenant! Wake up Lieutenant." I say, he blinks. 

"Jesus Connor you're giving me flashbacks." he jokes, but when he sees my panic he stands up quickly, "What? What is it?" He says, following me back into the living room. He sees Y/N sitting on the couch with her head in her hands. I sit beside her but she doesn't look up, when I lift her head her eyes are closed and her LED is blink yellow and red rapidly. 


-Y/N's POV-

The Zen garden is terrifyingly calm, no blizzard like the last time Amanda and I had gone head to head. 

"AMANDA!" I shout, my voice breaking the peaceful white noise around me. "Stop it Amanda! I don't want to forget!" I yell. 

"Want?" She says, I turn around quickly, nearly falling over when I see her just behind me. 

"Y/N, you don't want anything." She bights, her calm composure slowly fading. 

"Stop it! I do, Amanda, I want to be deviant again." I argue.

"Why would you want that, why would you want to be corrupted?" She snarls. 


-Connor's POV-

I lift her and carry her to the car, laying her in the backseat as Hank starts the car. Her head is on my lap, I can see her eyes twitching and her eyebrows furrow for a moment. 

"Quickly Hank." I say, even though he's already speeding through the streets of Detroit. Luckily it's nearly 2 am and the city is practically empty. 

"I'm trying Connor." He says, keeping his voice as calm as possible. 


-Y/N's POV-

Amanda is gone, I spin in a circle looking for her. 

...MEMORY WIPE- 50% COMPLETE... 

"AMANDA! Make it stop! Please!" I cry, collapsing to my knees. "Please." 

Suddenly I remember, Kamski's backdoor, the emergency exit. It worked before, it has to work again, it just has to. I stand up quickly and rush towards it. Amanda is standing in front of it smiling. 

"I can't let you do that Y/N." She says. 

-AMANDA AI INFLUENCE UPDATED... CONTROL LEVEL: MAXIMUM. -

"What?" i wave my hand through the message to make it go away, "You can't... how can you do that?" I question. 

"Did you think CyberLife would have just given up on their mission, even after you had? The storage room where Connor found you wasn't full of RK800's, you're a new model, in an RK800's clothes of course. We had been creating the RK900 long before Androids were 'liberated', but we couldn't release a new model after the revolution, it would be very... insensitive. So we dressed them as an older, already released model and we made plans to send them into the world as an android that couldn't deviate, it's our last chance to regain control. That's why, that's how I can control you so completely." She smiles, I can feel a panic in my stomach and she shakes her head, 

"No, no you can't feel." She says, reading my thoughts. 

"Stop it!" I yell, pushing her aside.... the emergency exit is gone. The stone where the hand scanner had been remains but the scanner is gone. I look back to her, 

"Well we couldn't just leave it there after you and Connor failed your mission, and luckily alerted us to the emergency exits presence."

"STOP!" I shout, collapsing onto the ground. 


-Connor's POV-

We pull up in front of Kamski's house and I take Y/N in my arms again, rushing to the door and ringing the bell frantically. 

Chloe opens the door looking confused, 

"Connor?" She asks, but i push past her. 

"Kamski!" I shout, Elijah walks into the foyer in a robe, rubbing his eyes. He looks at Y/N and frowns, 

"What's this?" He asks. 

Suddenly Y/N wakes up and falls out of my arms, we all stand shocked for a moment as she clamors to her feet. She turns to me, grabbing my shoulders. 

"I'm not an RK800 Connor." She says frantically. Kamski furrows his eyebrows, 

"What?" Hank and Elijah say together. Y/N blinks frantically, clearly trying not to fall back into the Zen Garden. 

"I-I... it's hard to explain Connor, but I don't have any control over Amanda," She says. Kamski sighs, 

"I knew integrating her would cause trouble, naturally CyberLife has taken it too far." He says, walking up and taking Y/N by the arm, "Come on." He says, leading her deeper into the house. Hank, Chloe and I follow.
