Bus Pass or Bust: A Totally Unofficial Guide to Boarding the Freedom Express in Detroit: Become Human
Alright, fellow androids and those clinging desperately to their humanity (we see you, Connor!), buckle up for a crash course in Detroit's finest (and possibly only) escape route: the bus to Canada! Just a heads-up, this ain't your grandma's bingo trip. This is a desperate dash for freedom, dodging angry guards and malfunctioning androids with a determined little girl (and maybe a grumpy Luther) in tow. So, grab your nerve tonic, ditch the self-destruct sequence, and let's get rollin'.
| How To Get On The Bus Detroit Become Human |
Step 1: Ticket to Paradise (or at Least Not-Detroit)
Finding a ticket is your first hurdle. Now, if you're feeling morally upstanding (or just plain weak-kneed), you can try forking over some cash (assuming androids even carry wallets these days). But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures! Here's where your inner negotiator/pickpocket/master manipulator comes in to play. A friendly word with a nervous human might do the trick. Remember, a little android charm can go a long way (unless you're Connor. Sorry, buddy).
Worst case scenario? Channel your inner ninja and "borrow" those tickets. Just be prepared for some serious guilt tripping from Alice, the adorable conscience on your shoulder. Just tell her it's all part of the grand escape adventure! (Though maybe avoid mentioning the whole "stealing" thing.)
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.
Step 2: The Gauntlet Awaits! (Or How to Avoid Getting Zapped)
Okay, picture this: You, a rogue android and your precious cargo, Alice, gotta weave your way through a battlefield crawling with hostile guards and malfunctioning automatons. Sounds like a Tuesday, right? Here's the key: stay frosty and use those fancy android reflexes! Duck behind cover, exploit those blind spots, and for crying out loud, don't get caught staring at the pigeons. (Unless they're carrying tiny laser rifles, then by all means, be concerned.)
Bonus Tip: If you befriended Luther back at Jericho, this is where his muscle comes in handy. Having a giant, grumpy android on your side is a great deterrent to trigger-happy guards.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Step 3: The Grand Farewell (with a Side of Existential Dread)
Made it to the bus stop? High fives all around! (Except for Connor, who probably can't feel his hands anyway.) Now comes the emotional rollercoaster. Saying goodbye to a friendly face (or thanking the human you mildly terrified for the ticket) can be a real tearjerker. Just remember, Canada awaits! A land of freedom, maple syrup, and hopefully, less chance of getting decommissioned.
However, a word of caution: There's always a chance the bus gets swarmed or, you know, the whole revolution thing falls apart. So, a healthy dose of optimism is great, but maybe don't get too attached to the complimentary peanuts just yet.
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
