Richard Dick

Richard at the end of the line

Richard Dick is a main antagonist in Neo Blade Runner 2021. Richard is an HB-5J replicant, a construction model built with incredible strength, making him a target for being shutdown after the Jupiter incident. Richard went rogue following his escape from a scrap yard where he was forced to work around the clock. While on the run, he met another escaped replicant named George Bonzinziki, who would soon become his best friends. The two got new serial codes to hide their identities should they ever be caught, and both decided to work at Jackopkski Indizinski's Lumberyard so that they could get enough money to start a new life in a different city. Before the events of Neo Blade Runner he appeared on the radar of the Neo Stroudsburg Blade Runner Chapter after a police officer witnessed him save a woman trapped in an overturned car by amazingly picking it up. He was brought in to be scanned to which he believed he could easily pass through with his fake serial number, falsifying that he is a more recently approved construction replicant. Director Brown suspects that this serial number is fake however, leading to the use of a Turing Test.

## In Neo Blade Runner 2021

Richard Dick first appears as he enters the interrogation room with Steve Wilson. Dick appears aggravated as he thought he could just leave after his scan, but he agrees to answer some questions. When signing a form he crumbles it up and throws it back at the Blade Runner which does not bother him, what does bother him is when he gives the fake name of Bobby Kirkland. When the scenarios begin Richard begins to get angry at the possibility of his girlfriends seeing another man, but catches himself and calms down. During the next scenario he attempts to seem more calm as he gives a snarky response to an old woman dying leading to Wilson becoming aggravated and putting Richard back in line. During another scenario with his girlfriend Richard becomes much more angry as Wilson presents evil options involving the framing of his girlfriend's dog's death on an intruder. Richard gets so irritated with this he does not answer the next scenario, causing Wilson to bring the test to a close, stating that Dick had failed. He elaborates that he now knows that Dick is an HB-5J replicant, before pointing some weapons at him to escort him out of the room to be shut down and turned into E-waste. Richard begins to cooperate but once standing, he turns around and pries the gun out of Wilson's hand. He manages to knock a second gun away from Wilson before shooting him in the chest. Once fallen into a chair, Dick shoots Wilson once more, killing him. Following this he drops the gun and then flees the station towards his worksite, Jackopski's Lumber. There he finds his replicant friend George Bonzinziki and instructs him that someone might be after him and if they do come, avoid telling them anything.

Once Jim McMahon arrives at the Lumber Yard, Dick notices as he is finishing up his shift. He then hides behind some trees as he watches the Blade Runner George Bonzinziki. Once he sees George poke Jim in the eyes before running away, Richard quickly makes his way to a nearby warehouse as he predicts George will most likely try and run that direction. He manages to get there shortly before George arrives with Jim hot on his tail. ONce Jim rounds a corner, Richard sticks out his arm and clotheslines him. Jim attempts to harm Richard by punching him but is unable to do any damage, allowing Richard to get a real whopper on Jim. He begins to strange Jim but he breaks away, causing Richard to do a turbo punch, breaking many of McMahon's ribs as well as causing internal organ damage. Jim however manages to whip out a cyber knife, severing Richard's fingers. Richard then recoils in shock and pain before having his hand completely sliced off. In his anger, he then grabs Jim with one hand and throws him into a garage door, knocking the Blade Runner out cold. He then meets up with George to show him his hand. George insists he needs that fixed, but Richard does not believe they will find a hand for his model. George insists they have to try but Richard tells him not to get his hopes up.

Richard is seen later showing his stub the black market replicant engineer Paul von Doofenstein. When told of the complications a new hand will bring, Richard is unsure he wants to commit, but is convinced by George after he reasons he may not be able to beat the Blade Runner a second time now. When waiting for the operation, Richard explains to George how he was pursued because he killed a Blade Runner during an interrogation. He tells him he had to do it for self defense, and gives the bad news that George will sadly be seen as an accomplice now. He offers to turn himself in so that George could escape, but Bonzinziki denies this. Following the operation Richard is pleased with his hand, and thanks Paul before running out the back of the building as McMahon comes in. Dick runs alongside George to get out of the area before he is stopped by McMahon.

Richard then attempts to strike a deal with the Blade Runner offering to turn himself in so that George might go free, but this is denied. Richard prepares himself for a fight when George goes in first, initially beating McMahon before he himself is put in danger. Seeing this, Richard then charges in to save his friend. He knocks Jim away, but is unable to hit him as the Blade Runner has become accustomed to his punches. Jim then manages to stab Dick in the hand, sending a critical system failure throughout his body. This results in a short circuit causing immense pain to Richard as he is left writhing on the ground before dying.
