[Which sounds like a confidently bold assumption for someone wearing a stupid octopus hat. Normally, at least — but Connor would have to be blind to not notice the policeman’s uniform, even if he doesn’t recognize the name of the department. The answer is quick—]
You work with the police.
[—and studded with curiosity.]
The giveaway is obviously how you’re dressed. [A grin.] If the roles were reversed, the same answer would apply to myself. Though my uniform isn’t exactly as blatant as yours.
[He’s lost the top half of his android uniform, the jacket with his model number and “ANDROID” emblazoned across it, leaving him in just a white dress shirt, a skinny tie, and nice, dark jeans.
[ he glances down at his own outfit, before shaking his head a bit at the absurdity of the question. well... it wasn't a given that his chosen occupation was his favorite, but all the same. ]
You're a cop too? [ that earns him a curious glance. ] Not a street cop by the looks of it. Detective?
[Well, it's mostly right. And the conversation seems to be enough to derail Connor's interest in the game itself; he has a far more overriding interest in police work and all that it entails, after all. It's what he was practically (and literally) designed for.]
...Well. In a general sense. I suppose I should be more forthcoming and tell you that I'm colloquially been described as an android detective, and though I do work with the police in an official capacity, I hold no official ranking with the Detroit Police Department.

"android detective"? is he supposed to understand what that means? is it some kind of special detective? they definitely didn't cover that at the police academy... he just kind of looks away sheepishly, trying to do his best to cover up the fact that he has 0 idea how to react to that information. ]
So you're from Detroit. [ that, at least, he understand. ] I'm from Raccoon City myself.
I’ve never heard of Raccoon City. I imagine this is another example of “alternate universes” and the differences that exist between my world and yours. Such as, for example, the term—
[Connor, ever observant, and definitely not the first he’s met who doesn’t understand the term ‘android’, much less coupled with ‘detective’, makes an assumption based on Leon’s reaction which he follows through with.]
—‘android’, I assume?
[He reaches up to tilt his stupid octopus hat at an angle, revealing his temple. A blue LED light, circular and glowing steadily.]
For clarification purposes, I’m not human. I’m wholly synthetic — maybe a more apt term would be “robot”, though it doesn’t encompass completely what I am.
FOR LEON;
Starting easy, I think.
