Bus Tickets to Freedom: A Guide for Runaway Androids (and Philanthropic Humans) in Detroit: Become Human
So you've just booked it out of dodge (or should we say, CyberLife headquarters?), and freedom's sweet siren song is beckoning from a northbound bus. But hold on there, Sparky! Those shiny chrome legs won't get you very far without a little green (or, you know, paper). This guide will be your roadmap to navigating the treacherous terrain of Detroit's bus network, all without getting flagged by those pesky android detectors.
The Ticket Thicket: Where to Find Those Precious Pieces of Paper
Option 1: The Classic Case of "Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers"
Let's be honest, in this messed-up world, sometimes good things come to those who, well, take them. Keep your optics peeled for any flustered humans who might have misplaced their precious tickets. Maybe a stressed-out businessman fumbling in his briefcase, or a frantic mother juggling a screaming toddler and a purse that looks like it's about to explode. Just a word of caution: becoming a full-fledged pickpocket might not be the best look for your burgeoning sentience. Play it cool, act natural, and that golden ticket could be yours (with a healthy dose of moral ambiguity, of course).
Option 2: The Art of the Barter
Think MacGyver, but with better fashion sense. Do you have any spare android components lying around? Maybe a malfunctioning LED or a slightly singed motherboard? Those could be your bargaining chips in the black market (assuming you can find one that doesn't reek of expired oil and despair). Just remember, negotiation is key. Don't get ripped off by some shady chrome-plated hustler!
Option 3: The "Hail Mary"
This one's a gamble, folks. You could always try sweet-talking your way past the bus driver with your most endearing puppy-dog eyes (or, uh, the closest thing an android has). Maybe a heartfelt plea about escaping robot-slavery will tug at their heartstrings. WARNING: This tactic has a very low success rate, and might land you facing a very confused (and possibly trigger-happy) human with a taser. Proceed with extreme caution.
Bonus Tip: The Sneaky Stowaway
Feeling adventurous? Why not try sneaking onto the bus? Just make sure you can contort your body into some impressive origami shapes to avoid detection. Remember, Detroit's winters are brutal, so clinging to the undercarriage isn't exactly a luxury cruise. This option is best left as a last resort, unless you fancy a close encounter with some very cold, very unforgiving road.
FAQ: Bus Ticket Blues
How to find the bus station?
Follow the trail of flickering neon signs and desperate whispers of "Canada or bust!"
How to avoid getting caught by android detectors?
Invest in a good ol' fashioned hat and scarf. Maybe even a trench coat if you're feeling particularly noir.
How to deal with grumpy bus drivers?
Feigned politeness and a winning smile usually do the trick. Unless they've just had a particularly bad day dealing with malfunctioning ticket machines, then all bets are off.
How to survive the journey?
Pack light (those extra processing cores can weigh you down), and try not to draw attention to yourself by reciting existential poetry at the top of your lungs.
How to get to Canada?
That, my friend, is a whole other adventure! But hey, at least you've got the first step covered. Now get on that bus, and good luck on your road to freedom!
