You’re actually cooked for asking me to comment why 🥹 I think Connor was always meant to be a deviant. While I don’t think it was what Cyberlife intended, I think Connor was always deviated in some way. From his introduction, Connor is shown to have choices that other Androids do not have, a specific autonomy unique to him. I like to think it’s because of the nature surrounding his “purpose”. He’s a Deviant Hunter. Deviants are unpredictable, so it’s only natural that they’d have to make Connor adaptable. His purpose is not a linear one. There is no single approach to catching a deviant, so Connor needs the ability to think for himself, to make decisions for himself. While he’s told what to do, to catch deviants, he often does it in whatever way he sees fit, hence the reason Connor’s chapters typically have so many different endings. He has an ability to perceive, to understand, to make decisions no other android can until they’ve deviated. I firmly believe that Deviant Connor is the “intended” Connor, and that Machine Connor is Connor suppressing his deviant nature (which, in of itself, is deviancy). Even during a Machine Connor run, Connor is shown to get angry. He gets bitter, or violent, or emotional in a way no other android does. He’s filled with emotion, even as he tries to portray himself as an emotionless machine. Machine Connor is a deviant, just a different kind of deviant. So yeah, that’s my take guys
