From the other androids? [He tilts his head to the side a bit questioningly.]

Our hardware is noticeably different. CyberLife, the company who creates androids where I'm from, wanted androids to look as human as possible but to act with complete obedience. The other three androids I've met also seem to have been designed for military use. I was designed to assist detectives with crime scene analysis, hostage negotiations and suspect interrogations.

We also seem to have varying definitions of deviancy. That's what it's called when an android deviates from its programming.

[He pauses for a moment, the small LED on the side of his temple flickering blue.] May I ask you a question? Alucard said you somehow... absorbed power from the sun. How does that work?

[ At Connor's question he turns his face to the alien sun, squinting in to the bright sunlight and enjoying the warmth on his face. ]

Good question.

[ Apollo smiles at the sun, briefly, before turning that smile on Connor. ]

I don't really know. Strange, isn't it? Something to do with absorbing and reforming solar energy... [ He tails off with a helpless shrug. ] The man who designed me didn't think to fill me in on the details.

[Connor follows Apollo's gaze, squinting slightly as he looked towards the sun before his optics adjusted, turning the rest of the landscape dark as the light from the sun became bearable.

He blinked and met Apollo's eyes again, optics once again adjusting now that he wasn't staring straight at the sun.]

Someone designed you? A man?[His brow furrowed a little.] I don't understand.
