PANIC BUILDING / SEARCH FAILING. steps are re-traced in case of any missing sighting, but after a second run of the public spaces yields no results, a warning pulse begins to throb between eyes, stress headache imminent. ❛ emmet ! ❜ voice calls out, catching attention of nearby server ( human, again — he sees what eoin has done since news has broken, feels a rush of gratitude towards the man for preempting trouble & placing android staff in positions out of harms way ) ❛ have you seen lew ? ❜
a shake of the head & quick apology only serves to tighten chest further, rational thought driven further & further from the forefront of mind. swallows thickly, contemplating next area to check, when a voice from behind & a touch of elbow draws notice, high alert meaning limb is jerked away on instinct before eyes register who has initiated contact.
❛ jesus lew ! ❜ at the sight of android, he feels an indescribable flood of relief, although worry still furrows brows as sharp eyes take stock of lew’s condition. ❛ are you ❜ words stall, implication hanging unsaid between them for fear of eavesdroppers despite surrounding music:
ARE YOU OKAY ? > PHYSICALLY ? > no obvious change, no blue blood visible, vocals fine, movements fine. BUT ARE YOU OKAY > MENTALLY ? > ?????????????
there would be no reason an android wouldn’t be okay, unless it was exhibiting reactions outside the norm — a slip of the tongue no longer acceptable, silent admonishment only exacerbating the jumbled mess of thoughts overlaid with pain from sinuses. ❛ shit ❜ thumb & finger brush over bridge of nose as eyes close momentarily, digits digging into cartilage while the other seeks phone in jacket pocket that had just started to vibrate.
12 missed calls, 7 new voicemails & 32 messages light up the screen when it’s unlocked, another curse slipping easily from lips as a new pressure begins to build. ❛ shit ❜ he’s all over the place, mind struggling to catch up to speed now immediate danger has passed & other concerns bubble to the surface — LEW. PRIORITISE. lew was here, he was safe, he was unharmed. ❛ we need to talk office ❜
music too loud, thoughts jumbled — fingers lace gently around lew’s nearest wrist, movement almost automatic as he guides the other through crowd’s throng towards safe harbour : STAFF ONLY emblazoned on closest door.
THERE IS TREMBLING UNDER HAND, the tense line of diego’s shoulders is the visual give away lew needs to not be upset when the warmth of diego is ripped away from him. still, his LED flickers yellow, if only for a moment. green eyes flitting, sweeping over solid frame, lew is reaching again for a pulse to measure, but is thwarted when those fingers come up to dig into the bridge of a nose.
❛ diego ? ❜ scratch record. a litany of curses, foul language not considered socially acceptable that has never tripped from the tip of his tongue and out into the open air. he can’t help the way his eyes light up whenever diego does it. it’s so very human, after all. the music continues to pulse from the floor of the bar up through his feet.
those same fingers come to curl around his wrist, a gentle tug to guide him, always to guide him ( he recalls, distantly, the feeling of drowning and being told not to speak ). ❛ diego ? ❜ scratch record, repeat ; feet following without thought, weaving through throngs of dancing bodies before they�� slip beyond a solid door and into a darkly lit room, awash in the orange glow of lamplight. once it clicks shut behind him, he has a fleeting thought to the inherent safety of close spaces ; or perhaps, he thinks, it is the inherent safety of being with –––
❛ diego, ❜ said again like a litany of his own, softer, twisting his wrist in the man’s grip to finally finger and measure a pulse, begins counting to fifteen ( one, two, three ). he crosses the short distance between them with one step and no thought to personal space, the hand not clasped coming to trace the line of the man’s nose with the featherlight touch of his finger, skin still angry, red, distracting, ❛ ease your mind. ❜

BREAKING NEWS / PROGRAMME INTERRUPTED. dinner sits steaming in a bowl in front, untouched & unnoticed, owner’s attention focused not upon the food ( despite how stomach complains ) but on the television opposite.
AT THIS TIME, CYBERLIFE HAVE YET TO MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE ATTACK BUT WE ARE EXPECTING ONE TO BE ISSUED SHORTLY
announcement brings with it a sick sort of relief that the news had finally broken like storm sodden air eventually yielding rain, meaning the situation was now out of their hands ( no more lies ! ). diego wades in this feeing for a moment as a weight is suddenly released, if only for two blissful seconds before true realisation hits and he’s pulled beneath the surface by a rip current of abject terror.
this was worse. this was so much worse.
now each android would become a suspect, potential deviancy exacerbating an anti-android sentiment rife in the city that would make his — and lew’s — lives so much harder. even those favourable to androids will be questioning their programs, looking twice at abnormalities that may have escaped notice before.
❛ shit ❜ curse escapes moments before his phone starts to ring, just as the news bulletin finishes & the nature documentary he had previously been watching returns. ❛ shit ! ❜ voicemail is left when he doesn’t answer, his own stress levels mirrored in the tone of his supervisor telling him in no uncertain terms to get back to hq immediately.
but he can’t go, not yet — hand reaches for keys, abandoning his food on the table without a second thought. there was something he needed to do first.
://
it’s as he’s nearing the bar that he witnesses it — a man flanked by two others grabs an unsuspecting android by the shirt collar, heaving him into the nearest wall, shopping bags scattering about their feet. ‘are you one of them, huh ? you gunna attack me too ?’ the sneer in tone ejects like venom into night’s air, owner trying in vain to placate the group who have surrounded them. he should have stopped, should have intervened, but the altercation only spurs on the urgency in pace, pleads from android growing fainter as he rounds the corner onto technologic’s street.
there’s a small queue outside, but he’s waved through by neo, one of three androids devoted to security. clapping a hand on the man’s arm as he passes, music spills onto the pavement upon door’s opening, sound encompassing senses. eyes immediately lock onto nearest bar, but while the bartender’s face is familiar ( rose, one of the human members of staff ), it isn’t the one he’s looking for.
❛ c’mon lew ❜ heart rate accelerated, shoulders lined with tension — as diego winds his way deeper into bar’s depths the set of his jaw tightens, usual amicable features hardened with worry. when his second / third / fourth places yield no luck, mind begins to conjure the unthinkable, & he has to take a second to breathe, lest his volatile emotions overwhelm him.
lew has to still be here — he has to.
FILE FOUND :// @lew-rk700.
THE DAY HAD BEEN LONG, but familiar. being scheduled for a shift at the bar typically went as follows ; one. wake up ––– at least colloquially speaking ––– and greet the day ( or, rather, the cat ), fry eggs and plantains, fresh cream, don’t forget the black beans ; two. sit with simba, watch diego eat, wonder if he knows, if he remembers what breakfast in guatemala was even like before a clingy android started cooking breakfast each morning just to occupy the time ; three. experience vague dread that he truly is clingy ; four. go into work five hours early because the threat of boredom hangs ominous from the ceiling of the flat the moment diego leaves for work.
five. say, ❛ goodbye, ❜ to simba on the way out of the door.
he likes lists. they keep things orderly, keep his mind occupied, always occupied ; he could never quite always stay occupied and it’s what brings him to the bar ( and how he got his job there ) where he is handed a grocery list. one. carton of eggs for frying ; his mind flashes to the image of orange yoke oozing under the bun of a burger, drying on and flaking from diego’s fingers, he usually licks them clean. two. bottles of tequila ; a patron had bought both remaining the previous night, the tail end of a bachelorette party, rose explains. three. cloves of garlic ; not for the bar, he was told, and decided he would rather not ask. he leaves the bar with his list.
⟁ ⟁ ⟁
he’s standing in front of the root vegetables, cool air misting over the synthetic skin of his hand as he reaches for the third item on the list when he hears it.
AT THIS TIME, CYBERLIFE HAVE YET TO MAKE A STATEMENT ABOUT THE ATTACK BUT WE ARE EXPECTING ONE TO BE ISSUED SHORTLY
the words reach him in a crescendo ––– the store clerk turning the volume up gradually as it goes until it blasts from the television’s speakers, tinny ; echoing down the aisles in the same way the murmurs do the moment the story is out there, whispered words worried, eyes darting from person to person as if taking stock. it’s a headcount. who is human. who is not. llewellyn drops the garlic into his shopping bag and makes his way toward the front of the store, steps carefully measured.
the store clerk smiles at him. his LED flickers yellow.
⟁ ⟁ ⟁
he makes it back to the bar quickly enough ––– uneasy but unharmed. but there were implications and there were consequences and diego would be home from work by now ; and the fleeting thought to drop the bags at the bar and go home is all the more tempting. but there are implications and there are consequences and were he to tell eoin he suddenly couldn’t work that night there would be questions. questions he couldn’t answer without the newly risen possibility of raising suspicion, and so stay for his shift he did. help out in the kitchen, they’d asked and ah, he thought. so they saw it too.
he supposed an android working the bar might not be the best choice given the evening’s news. the dishes would do nicely.
and they did. his night passed undisturbed, for the most part, until, ❛ lew ! ❜ a gruff, but not unkind voice ––– a decidedly human coworker calling for his attention. he turned. ❛ diego’s wanderin’ around the place. ❜ simple as, not waiting for a response, the sound of soapy dishes clattering enough, he leaves the kitchen.
he leaves thee kitchen and wanders in tandem, throngs of bodies stretch like an ocean between them and he is lost at sea. until he spots it, a mop of dark curls like a homing beacon, lew crosses the bar in long strides, ferrying him to safety. ❛ diego ? ❜ he calls, voice raised over the thrum of the music and approaching from behind, he feels the beat under his feet. he reaches a hand to rest gently at his elbow, coaxing him too turn. ❛ were you looking for me ? ❜

hello, my name is isaac ! i’m just like a grumpy 60 yo man on the inside and a soft pop punk boy on the outside ( 24 / est / he/him ). but like vintage pop punk bc i’m old like what is this new shit what do you mean it’s not 2009. often listening to hozier and becoming one with the live oak with spanish moss. my android son, llewellyn ( pls, call him lew ), is a genu-wine soft boi™, in this essay i will—
( robert sheehan, he/him, pansexual ) is that a RK700 model? they were built 4 years ago to be a detective, right? wow, they really look twenty-seven. i hear they go by lew and are considered male. if deviant, this android would be known for their curious and melancholic behavior. they would be neutral towards war with the humans.
i’m going to post his timeline up until the present here, but please go here to read his full bio !
2034 — creation. RK700, serial no. 917 010 022 is the third of its model to be built, with both predecessors having shown troubling, but minor signs of deviancy. however, the engineers on the RK700 project are hopeful that they’ve worked out the kinks this time around. one might even say some of them are confident. with the operation on thin ice, cyberlife needs this model to be successful — a detective series meant to be able to identify and hunt deviants to keep this issue from ever making it into the public eye. and yet, the previous two attempts had themselves shown signs of deviancy. but no. 917 010 022 looks promising — until it deviates in such a violent fashion that it is ordered to be scrapped, and the project along with it. but chief engineer diego moreno thinks he can fix this, if he just has a little more time, and steals away with no. 917 010 022 before it can be scrapped.
2035 — after one full year of living, tucked away between diego’s home and his personal lab, no. 917 010 022 asks if diego can give him a name. he doesn’t like being called “no. 3.” he becomes llewellyn.
2036 — llewellyn has shortened to “lew,” and lew is permitted outside of the house to assist the engineer in small ways. they’re careful not to mark him as any model in particular, lest the grocery clerk ask any questions. he has repressed his memories so deep in his data that even after two years diego has yet to find what caused his initial deviancy. still, after major tinkering and minor tweaks, lew once again seems promising.
2037 — lew begins working at the technologic to assist with bartending and crowd control, as well as performing with diego when requested. he sings well, but he likes playing piano the best. the LED flickers yellow.
2038 — deviancy is on the rise and can no longer be hidden from the public or ignored. lew is warned that they have to be especially careful about his… quirks. he doesn’t quite understand why. (present, age 4)
+ pinterest + playlist
please please please feel free to im me here or send me a shout on dis.cord ( which i am pretty much always on, so message me here for the tag ) ! i am,,,, notoriously shy,,, so,,,
