It's awkward, navigating Detroit as an android. Well, as a much older, "inferior" model. One running even after three and a half decades of being operational. Fortunately, Callias passes off as human in more ways than one, including the fact that his breath gives off steam in the chilly winter air (in spite of his lack of need for it.)
What really gets to him, some days, is the vacant look in so many of the androids' eyes. They remind him of himself when his own coding hadn't organically matured (as it was programmed to do.)
But one catches his eye, and it's hard to say exactly why that is.
Maybe it's the way he looks, or the fact that he's incredibly small. Dirty-red glass eyes hone in on him, his perplexion obvious. In a place of large androids, and large people, why would an android be small? Unable to resist the pull of his coded curiosity, he approaches, but words aren't coming.
He's an inferior model, unable to scan anything in detail by sight, sound, or by any other means.
"Um... hello there. Might I ask why you're so tiny?"
Right, good way to open things up.
...Hopefully he's not scanned too thoroughly. Hell, his metal-reinforced limbs are a dead giveaway in front of magnets or x-rays. The rest of him is synthetic-organic - with organs in the same place as a human body that, theoretically, could be removed to help an actual human.
Still, at a glance, he looks, sounds, and feels human in many ways.
Not sure what timeline you'd want Connor to be in, so tried to play it vague. :)
