[ Markus was certainly determined. It didn't help CyberLife to underestimate what they were up against. He was determined, and...charismatic. Convincing.
Just not convincing enough. Not on everyone. Not on Connor.
Markus wasn't like Amanda. He didn't actually know Connor personally. Connor knows that Markus was using what was left of his destroyed and abandoned programming - offering reassurance, care, direction. And knowing that, he could see through it.
