I figure he could be like a Faro personal assistant, maybe a prototype who would've been intended to help the humans but also be capable of venturing out into the wasteland? Could be Connor was put on standby once they realized they couldn't make him hack-proof if he encountered a swarm.

Did you have a top-level I could tag into? Would you prefer playing out Connor's reactivation or should I assume-cr it so that they're introduced already?
