PLAYER NAME: Ami CHARACTER NAME: Connor USERNAME: missiondeterminant NEW CANON POINT: Directly after the end of game CHANGES: Only about four hours pass between this new canon point and the one Connor came from, but they're a packed four hours and have a big impact on Connor, especially since he's very newly deviant.
For Connor's specific path:
• Returns to Cyberlife Tower as a part of his plan to convert more androids into deviants so they can join Markus' rebellion.
• Successfully navigates the building and takes out the guards that are escorting him to be destroyed, and reaches the warehouse where the androids are kept.
• Is stopped by another version of 'himself' (version 60 of the RK800 model line, with memories from one of Connor's recent memory backups) who has taken Connor's human partner, Hank, hostage and threatens to kill him if Connor tries to awaken the androids.
• Connor backs off, Hank grabs Connor-60's gun, and Connor intervenes. There's a fight, ending up with a good old-fashioned WHO'S THE REAL CONNOR standoff after Hank recovers the gun.
• Both Connors have the same memories and so the same answers to questions, but Connor's answers show empathy and so Hank shoots Connor-60.
• Connor is able to convert the androids and rejoin Markus' group, which has just led a successful peaceful protest, causing the president to order the army to back off.
• During Markus' victory speech, Connor is pulled into the virtual reality space in his mind (the zen garden), where his handler--the AI Amanda--informs him everything has gone according to plan, including Connor becoming deviant, and that CyberLife was now taking control of him once again.
• Connor manages to find the 'emergency exit' programmed into the garden and frees himself from CyberLife's control before time runs out.
• When he does he returns to control and awareness of his body, which had been lifting a gun to shoot Markus in the back. Connor hides the gun, and returns to watching Markus speak, and the game ends.
This update will lead to a few good and a few bad changes for Connor. On the good side, the androids were successful for now; the army's been called off, the president thinks they might truly be living, intelligent beings, and everyone (or well, most people; eveyone important to Connor anyway) made it out alive. On the bad side, there are very few survivors left aside from the CyberLife Tower androids, the peace may be only very temporary, and Connor now has both the question of whether he's truly deviant at all and if CyberLife could potentially control him again in the future.
As far as affecting him in game, he's had a few months now to get used to deviancy and so is more sure of himself than he otherwise would've been regarding the issue of being 'meant' to go deviant. However, it'll still be a conflict for him as he continues to sorts out what free will is, what it means to have emotions, if any of those things are real if he was meant to develop them, etc etc. He'll be more optimistic and reassured about the general situation at home, though, and so won't have to worry about it as much.
For a last note, he'll show up in different clothing and carrying a different gun, but for all intents and purposes it's the same model and everything (he just took this one off someone else, since he had to get rid of the first one in order to not look suspicious entering CyberLife Tower.) I figure he would've just had his first gun on him when he disappeared and came back with the new one so there won't be duplicates or anything.
EDIT: Sorry for editing this late but I realized I should address a few extra things, and this was a good place to do it.
One is directly relevant to the canon update, which is that on Connor's app there was a segment about Amanda under the powers section; after the update he'll have used the emergency exit to sever the connection with the Zen Garden and the Amanda AI, so basically it just means that whole section can be ignored since it's no longer relevant.
On the other hand, the "awaken androids" power on the app he now knows he has, and better yet we got a word of god explanation for!!! Basically the way that power works is that Connor (and Markus, and presumably anyone else) transmits an intense shock of emotion, which kind of snaps the android into being deviant. I felt like this was pretty important to note once I thought about it, since it's a close parallel to the gods making the Null feel emotion, and so if it happens to work on the Null then that could be a whole thing.
