[ holden hasn't known connor for long, but the thought that he could be monstrous doesn't cross his mind even for a second. the guy's fought next to him, they've stumbled into the safehouse together - those are not the actions of a monster. ]
Is it?
[ human ingenuity isn't really the reason humans exist, is it? that's just biology. help him out here, connor. ]
(a small amount of trepidation is worming its way in, now, wondering if he's made a mistake.)
I don't know how they managed to create a human body for me to inhabit - your guess is as good as mine, perhaps better considering your advancement - but I am an android.
No amount of flesh and blood is going to change that.
[ huh. holden actually says huh out loud, but the sense of surprise doesn't translate through this weird neurological network the same way it would if they were touching in some way. ]
So you're an android but they somehow stuck you in a human body? Is it a different one?
It's like they... cloned me. Something that doesn't seem possible when you consider the fact that I had no DNA for them to work with. I was told an upload was unlikely as well, since the only piece of technology in this body is a neural implant - nothing with the capacity to hold my base programming let alone an entire personality suite and three months of memories.
Maybe I've been thinking too small. It is the 25th century.
Sorry if I've alarmed you. It may be necessary here, but I'm not used to keeping what I am a secret. Obviously.
(oh, what a nice offer. there are a few things on his list left to figure out, but he didn't want to inconvenience anyone when there were things far more important than little ol' him.)
Are there any foods I should stay away from that may cause digestive distress or illness?
And speaking of illness, how would one go about combatting a common cold or influenza? Or allergies? Are there any you're aware of which could prove to be dangerous for a body with a recently developed immune system?
(at least one personality trait has been made crystal clear: connor is paranoid.)
There are suggestions here that may very well assist me with some of the problems I've been having. Thank you for taking the time to... think them out.
They seem to have eliminated many major diseases here, don't you find that fascinating?
The ones I mentioned in my previous message to you. It can't be helped, but I would prefer to streamline things.
In the meantime, I will let you get back to whatever it was you were doing. Hunger is something else I must acclimate to, as I regularly forget to eat. Please excuse me.

(he could've called himself a monster too if his friends hadn't cared enough to help him.
splicing two forms of intelligent life together? atrocious.)

[ which - seems even more invasive than what happened to him, if he thinks about it. ] Are you all right?

[ so?? maybe he knows something about bodily functions an android wouldn't?? or maybe androids have databases on that, who even knows. not holden. ]
It sure does.

[ he is not good at moderation when it comes to coffee so??? sounds fake??? ]
Lots of fluid and rest for the common cold. Wash your hands. Don't hang out with sick people? Maybe talk to a doctor.

Here's another tip: don't be like me and get addicted to coffee if you can avoid it.
