[Hard to forget any conversation that even touched upon the subject of AI life. Just as it's hard to forget the point he made to Loki that day — in a world where they no longer exist, where they had been wiped clean in a war that shed an ocean of blood, Markus will prefer to err on the side of caution, until given reason to do otherwise.
Eyes idly tracking the offering of salsa in Loki’s hands, he thinks it might be prudent to reiterate that fact.]
Your willingness to investigate the past, present, and possible future of AI life in this world. And my reservations about putting ourselves at risk because of it, given that it’s a war long finished, already engraved into history.

But he made his priorities clear that day — protecting Connor, keeping people safe, and wanting to return to Detroit with his android body in tow, in some form or fashion. Sticking his neck out when there is no one left to stick his neck out for? He treads that territory cautiously.
He looks at Connor obliquely, before deciding to cross over to sink into a place to sit. Coincidentally close to the metal bowl of chips.]
