When Markus was bound by an owner, he didn't see the outer workings of the world. While Carl was a great person and became like a father figure to him, he was still owned by someone. If Carl hadn't treated him with kindness, then he wasn't sure how different he would be. Carl truly marked his soul and helped him overcome the diversity he felt. People still treated them like they were demons. He recalled the time in the plaza in Detroit where the preacher said he would be the one to tear them apart. He supposed he was right in some ways.

Markus stepped through Jericho with the purpose of finding his team so they could scavenge for some more supplies with Cyberlife. They had a contact within their ranks, so hopefully they can get the supplies without alerting the authorities. He looked at North and Josh who were looking through the bombs they gathered, "Are we almost ready to get going?"

North looked up, "Yeah, we're just going through the last of the supplied bombs." She finally stood, "You sure about this Markus? You think this contact can be trusted?"

His lips pursed into a thin line. "I don't think we have much of a choice. We've already gathered a lot of supplies, but does it ever hurt to get more? Sometimes we need something specific and people don't have it." Josh finally turned when he heard Markus speak, which made him sigh. He obviously had his own reservations about this, but there wasn't much they could do now. Markus wanted to help his people a little more than they have been.

Josh brushed his pants off. "Then I suggest we get going. It's already," He checked his watch, "Midnight and we told them we'd meet them by the docks at one." 

Markus nodded in agreement and they finally went off to meet their contact. He knew there was a reason to be wary about it, but he figured they could trust them. He knew they were an android, so would he really betray his own people? After that thought process, the infamous deviant hunter popped into his head, though he realized he was not that much of a threat. Every time he tried capturing a deviant, he didn't succeed. He has both the Traci's and Rupert to thank for that infromation. Still, looking into who Connor was, he wanted to see if the hunter himself truly was against his brethren or if he was a deviant.

As they reached the docks, the snow had become like a blanket covering the streets as they stepped through the docks entrance. It was an eery feeling and Markus suddenly had the instinct that this was a bad idea. Before he could tell North and Josh they needed to go, they were suddenly blinded by several different bright lights that were shining on their faces. Markus held his hand up over his eyes and noticed the shadow that was stepping forward.

"... you really trust every android who comes to you for help, huh?"

North balled up her fist, "You're kidding me, right? You're on the human's side?!"

The android finally revealed himself, which showed him to look like the cyberlife android they saved back at the warehouse. "You've made it harder for android's to even live here. We're dying everyday and it's your fault."

"... We just want to be free. Many of us will die for our cause but--"

"Save it. The girl I love is dead because of you." 

Markus, North, and Josh glanced at one another and realized there was other androids with him, but they didn't know whether they had weapons or not. It didn't matter, because North thought ahead and made sure they had their own weapons before leaving Jericho.

Markus slowly moved to grab the gun that was placed in his pants behind him, while the others did the same. "None of this is my fault. We just want to be free. I'm sorry she was killed, but we're ready to die for our cause. But we want to ensure that it reaches it's end first." Without hesitating, Markus pulled the gun out and shot the android in the head; knowing North and Josh would handle their own safety.

When it was over, the area was littered with a few android bodies, which caused Markus to move towards the leader who was staring blankly at the sky. "We didn't want this."

North nudged on Markus' coat. "Markus, we need to get going before the police get here. They may not care because they're androids, but... they heard shooting and they would know what happened, especially with that deviant hunter."

A light frown appeared on Markus' face as he realized they were right. Even though they were androids, he knew the police would have to investigate it. It would probably be closed because of their affiliation, but he wasn't too sure. Markus decided he wouldn't wait around though and simply ran off with his friends to return to Jericho.
