konstant It's not unprecedented for the remaining megapolises to need to work together on one problem or another, but merely exponentially rare as the planet nosedives ever faster towards burning out completely. If someone is desperate or stupid enough to risk the great chasms of distance between one and another of the controlled biomes left standing, well. Godspeed typically.
It's even rarer still for two rival models of synthetic humanoids to be required - no, requested - to work together, but K supposes it had to happen eventually given the rising percentage of the population that's either replicant or android or something other than human. Everything with the ability to reason or make decisions, however base, has the potential to become unruly. It was only a matter of time before unified efforts to control them would need to be worked out.
Be nice, but keep charge, Joshi had said before clearing his spinner for takeoff. Yes, Madam, K had said, and now he's here in the Detroit office, waiting patiently to meet the first partner he's ever had that might actually fit the definition. He's been paired with human officers before but they were never equals, never working together - more like K was a piece of equipment that had been checked out to them for a shift, with as much regard given. Maybe this will be different, he thinks.
Probably not, but maybe. He shrugs the collar of his heavy duty coat higher against his neck, shoves his hands deeper in the pockets, and tries to figure out what that smell he can't identify is.
