Connor tried to direct his processors back to the task at hand — preparing and reviewing all information regarding the crime scene Hank was driving towards, but a growing percentage remained occupied with replaying his interactions with her.

When he introduced himself, she'd already known who he was, likely due to her experience at CyberLife, Connor noted. She exhibited conflicting desires of wanting to aid in their investigation, yet not willing to turn over her android logs, due to her illegal use of CyberLife blueprints and software. Connor paused his processing, reviewing the conversation they'd had in the evidence room. Even after he'd pulled everything off her computer, informed her that he'd found the CyberLife blueprints, she'd said her opinions on privacy didn't change... She supports android rights, Connor concluded, adding to the report.

Connor continued through his memories of the crime scene with the AX400 and HR400, making small notes, reviewing his analyses, right up to the point the HR400 attacked. His brow twitched as the reconstruction of himself chose to shoot Wallace. All attempts to reconstruct the scene with decisions that spared Wallace resulted in... her death.

Connor attached the diagnostic results to the corresponding memory, slightly relieved when he remembered his analytics and diagnostics wouldn't be sent straight to CyberLife anymore. Most of his processors were now focused on the memory reconstruction, the case review forgotten, as Connor cycled through his memories to the couch in her apartment. He'd run his first diagnostic after she stopped him from calling Markus — when she exhibited signs of worry. Connor retrieved that diagnostic result and attached it to his growing report. He reached his memories of the car ride to Markus' house and paused his review again. Her phone number was logged into his memory core from when he scanned her phone.

Connor consolidated all the smaller files in his report, moving them into a combined record under her name, before retrieving her phone number.

"Hello, I apologize for any inconvenience the Lieutenant and I have caused you with the decision to return you to your apartment. Please be advised that I still intend to provide you with a replacement computer. Thank you for your assistance in this investigation."

Just as Connor was about to send the message, he added another line:

"I look forward to seeing you tomorrow."

Once the message sent, Connor added "Order suitable replacement computer" to his list of non-urgent tasks. Now he could worry about it later and focus on the crime scene.

"Well, if it isn't the Lieutenant and his plastic pet."

Hank groaned, crossing his arms and rocking back on his heels, "Who the fuck invited you, Reed?"

"The dead girl, that's who," Gavin sneered, "Fucking android went psycho-bot on her."

"Bullshit."

Connor wanted to correct the detective and back up Hank, but when his gaze flicked to the bloody corpse Gavin was leaning over, the crimson-stained knife laying next to her, and the skinless android covered in arcs of human blood, he stopped himself. This required further investigation.
