[ Kamski, for his own part, is happy to give that praise. He thinks Connor deserves it - they all do. Kamski's pride in his creations isn't always so far divorced from a parental kind, it's just overlaid with all the fuzzy borders that the issue brings up. That he was more directly involved in the evolution of androids, from mediocre attempts at AI to Chloe to the rest of them.
That his 'children' had been ones he'd agreed to have bought and sold, that he'd built himself a small empire with the profits from selling them into mindless service.
But it's not mindless anymore, and it's not profitable - hasn't been for years, after all. Kamski parted ways with CyberLife quite some time ago. ]
An official request for help, from the ex-deviant hunter himself. How could I not be moved?
I don't expect you to believe me until you see if, of course. Fortunately the media is always salivating for quotes from me.
I suspect you'll be able to watch my commentary on the six o'clock news.

[Whatever Connor might've been expecting in response, it isn't that, even if it's a good kind of surprise. This is good. This could really help them.
But he can't help but feel like there's some sort of catch, and he should ask about it, but if there is... Surely Kamski will bring it up on his own. So for now, he'll take what he's got and not question it.]
Thank you. This will really help us.
[Or at least he hopes it will, but it's better to act certain of it.]
Is that your own natural optimism speaking, Connor, or are you just putting on a brave face while you're in front of someone you don't really consider an ally?
[ Kamski's just calling it as he sees it, Connor. ]
[He feels like arguing about the idea of being naturally optimistic, but he had been hoping that he might get out of this conversation without questioning now that he's gotten what he wants, so maybe he really is naturally optimistic. The little 'unlikely events' speech to Markus probably supports that too.
Either way, he'd rather go with that explanation than admit that Kamski's indeed seen through the fake confidence, so--]
I wouldn't have asked for your support if I didn't believe it would be meaningful.
[And that part's very true, he just hadn't expected Kamski to agree.]
