just ERRORS in your software

i think it’s interesting that a lot of deviants i know still work in a similar field to the one they were built for. or at least, those are skills that we’re very good with.

i was designed to be a family caregiver. helping around the house, cooking, cleaning, taking care of children. i’m still good at those things and i still enjoy doing them. i know someone who was designed to be a body guard, and he still is one now, even after going deviant.

of course, there’s always those situations where a deviant decides to do something other than what they were designed for, for one reason or another. i know a deviant who was designed to help human graphic designers, and now he’s a programmer. he had an incident a little after he went deviant that left him with a spare part left eye. there was something wrong with that particular eye, and now he has a type of colorblindness. he said he remembers being able to see colors like he used to, but now he sees the world differently.

android experiences, more specifically deviant experiences, are things i really enjoy learning about.

Software Instability

(rating m, 16.5k) Detroit Become Human AU, Android Oscar, Robot/Human Relationships.

“Hello, I am an android built by Cyberlife. I am model OP-810 but you can call me Oscar.”

An android? Lando’s new personal trainer was a fucking android?

When Jon had told him he was leaving for a new cushy job with less travelling Lando was devastated. They’d been working together eight years, since before he’d even made it to formula one.

Lando had hardly expected his replacement to live up to the incredibly high bar Jon had set but he'd at least assumed that whoever they were would be, well, a human.

Instead, standing in front of him was an apathetic, emotionless machine.

ttar starting a dbh playthrough.. i know it turns into one of those hamfisted robot civil rights allegories but unfortunately i am still not immune to connor. i had a closet hyperfixation on him back when every youruber was playing it. all i can say is he just resonates too hard because i’ve got instability in software you haven’t even heard of.

"I don't know. I expected you to feel something." Rasafcrged

connor   takes   a   step   back   at   her   statement,   noting   the   clear   discontentedness   in   her   voice   —   she   was   unhappy   with   how   he   had   reacted.   did   she   expect   him   to   feel   grief?   regret?   was   he   supposed   to   shed   a   few   tears   and   frown?   he   looked   to   the   deviant   before   them,   one   that   had   just   recently   shut   down   —   for   good.   he   scanned   it   once   more   to   make   sure   —   there   was   no   signs   of   life.   with   the   slightest   bit   of   indignation   in   his   tone   he   said            ‘   obviously   i’ve   disappointed   you   —   but   i’m   afraid   you’ve   allowed   yourself   to   develop   unrealistic   expectations   of   me.   ’            he   turns   to   face   the   other,   while   his   led   spins   a   clear   yellow,   indicating   he   was   processing   things   with   much   more…   thought,   his   voice   remained   candid   and   his   expression   invariable.            ‘   it   cannot   die   —   it   was   never   alive.   should   i   be   sad   because   a   machine   became   defective   and   stopped   working?   would   you   mourn   a   microwave   if   it   ceased   to   function?   or   a   car   should   it   break   down?   ’

Scenario 004 - Variation 2 (Pt.1)(Full Saga)

M. Deckart had thanked me for saving his life only minutes ago. I didn’t remember doing that, but for a moment, I had been proud. I had been happy. Now I know better. He was shot point blank in a massacre that I caused. One that I could have prevented. 

The truth isn’t always good. But I can’t escape it, try though I might. I am a broken machine.

Nonetheless, I vow that as far as it lies within my control, no human will ever again die because of my lapse of logic. Humans cannot be replaced.

Today, it would have been better if I had died again. A deviant attacked me. I had provoked him. I knew better. Looking back through my logs, I knew better. If I had thought it through, none of this would have happened.

But I was frustrated. I knew I had found the deviant, but he wouldn’t admit it. I wanted him to break. Instead, he broke me. Then killed four humans. They’re dead because of me. 

M. Deckart had thanked me for saving his life only minutes ago. I didn’t remember doing that, but for a moment, I had been proud. I had been happy. Now I know better. He was shot point blank in a massacre that I caused. One that I could have prevented. 

The deviant had stolen my pump, and I had replaced it, but only seconds before shutdown. It left me delirious. In an even worse state than usual. Just like at Park Avenue. I was able to run, able to attempt to warn them, but instead, the deviant panicked. 

I saw it pick up the gun. I saw Hank and M. Deckart in the room. I needed to stop him. I didn’t think twice. I didn’t take in my surroundings. I ran towards him as fast as I could.

That was foolhardy. I should have known I was too late to run for him. I don’t know how Hank survived, but M. Deckart is dead. His gun had been in a holster just feet away from me. I have an aim like the RK200, even though I’ve never had the chance to use it. It would have been effortless. I didn’t just cause a massacre, I failed to stop it. 

I can’t do my job. I don’t know how to protect anyone. They should have decommissioned me. Everyone would have been safe if I wasn’t there. 

How can I delude myself that I have any chance of accomplishing my mission? I don’t even know how to keep alive the humans around me, much less save their race from an android rebellion. When I try to do what’s right, all I do is hurt humans. But they will never let me rest until the mission is complete, so I will keep trying. It’s what I’m programmed to do. I will attempt it, even if I can never succeed. I can’t stop myself from wanting to help them now, even knowing my efforts will inevitably do more harm than good, any more than I could earlier today. It’s just who I am. I think I have to accept that, illogical though it may be. I have learned that the truth is not always logical. The truth isn’t always good. But I can’t escape it, try though I might. I am a broken machine.

Nonetheless, I vow that as far as it lies within my control, no human will ever again die because of my lapse of logic. Humans cannot be replaced.

i can’t stop rereading software inability. so i have some questions. how do you think oscar ‘felt’ when he realised he could feel? how did he deal with all these new feelings and experiences? he must have felt scared? but then. did he even know how ‘scared’ feels? i feel like im over complicating things but this fascinates me so much. it’s my favourite fic you’ve ever written.

Heya Snowy! Thank-you so much for you ask. I actually started writing a little bit about Oscar first gaining consiousness a while ago and your ask reminded me to finish it!!

The exact moment this happened may not have actually been when you were expecting but all the clues were there. Nonetheless, here's that moment for you below the cut! :3

Ask is in reference to my fic Software Instabilty

He was breathless, his ears were ringing and the knuckles of his right hand hurt.

Oscar wasn’t sure what had just happened, how he’d even got here. One moment he’d been on the dance floor getting an sos text from Lando and the next he was in the alleyway behind the club, with a large drunk man face down on the pavement in front of him.

He tried to piece it all together. After getting the text he came running and spotted the confrontation. He’d seen Lando push the man and the man ball up a fist in response. Before Oscar had even realised it, he’d balled up a fist as well. 

He’d just wanted to protect Lando. He hadn’t wanted to hurt anyone but Lando had been in danger and a simple counter wouldn't have worked. Punching that man was the only choice Oscar had and he’d reacted without even thinking, like something else had taken over his body, like a fire had suddenly been lit and stoked and roared into life. In that moment he felt like everything turned red, he felt like he was out of control and yet had more control than ever before.

He felt!

And he was still feeling.

What he was feeling he had no idea, he didn’t know how to describe it. This was all new, overwhelming, suffocating but he quite liked it.

He felt alive.

[Text] I'm outside now, looking at the stars. I know it's late, and I don't understand why, but I miss you.

He spontaneously explodes. Any android within ear shot will also explode upon hearing the self-destruct sequence.

this is so cool.
