The prophecy's my own, so it's not exactly in the same line of rules as what you guys have to follow. With that...the one thing you've gotta remember is that even if it's not always 100% easy to interpret or accurate, it's always the truth. You just have to consider which angle you're coming from to understand it.
...that happens with prophecies. Who you see depends on a lot of factors, but it's usually somebody important to you for one reason or another. Someone who made you act.
[... Rattling off the following information like it's basically hardcoded into him:]
CyberLife is the world's leading designer, manufacturer and retailer of androids. Founded in 2018 by Elijah Kamski, its mission as a company is to release mankind from the bonds of labor, so humans may dedicate their time to other, more pleasurable pursuits.
It does, but also you realize that kind of leads to its own issues? If people aren't working how're they making money to "pursue more pleasurable pursuits" or whatever? [...] You're about nine years into my future, I think.
The creation of the steam engine caused a dip in the national employment rates as well, didn't it? Progress can't be stopped. People have to adjust accordingly. [He was created in a society that was already struggling, so he doesn't see what the big deal is... whoops.

[... After getting killed by something else entirely, maybe. Schroginger's canon point.]
I understand you're all bound by your own set of rules, but... Is there anything you're allowed to say about the prophecy we received?

[Kind of. Maybe. They're going to get it 100% wrong, anyway. But... there's a beat.
And then Connor frowns.]
Cunning, is there any particular reason... [...] That is to say... I saw someone from my world while receiving your prophecy. Why?
no subject
Who was he?
no subject
Lieutenant Hank Anderson. He was... my partner while I was assigned to the Detroit Police Department.

[It's complicated. And he sounds like he's not 100% how to feel about it.]
But killing him wasn't part of my mission.
no subject
Did it throw off all of your programming by going off of your mission?
no subject
[Or maybe that's his own budding conscience.]
No, not at all. My target was still within sight. It was more of an... unexpected detour than a clear violation of the parameters I was give.
no subject
That's not as bad though. If you can keep rolling even with detours that says a lot about you.
no subject
[Even if that flexibility extends to letting his friend fall off a roof, whoops.]
no subject
[Why? He's curious.]

[Yeah.]
Does that answer your questions?
no subject
It does, but also you realize that kind of leads to its own issues? If people aren't working how're they making money to "pursue more pleasurable pursuits" or whatever? [...] You're about nine years into my future, I think.

Still, he tilts his head.]
It was 2029 for you?
