RK800 #313 248 317 - 51. [He takes a moment to tap his jacket, right where his serial number is displayed. It ends in 52.] The first Connor android to be sent out on the field. It was unfortunately destroyed, and I was sent to replace it.

What happened to him?
[She frowns at his next words, though.]
I don't know about that. I'm kind of... wondering if there's something else going on.

What conclusions did you reach? Adding third point of view could shed some light on the inconsistencies you noticed.
