## Influencing Carlos' android's stress

The android’s stress begins at 35% and is affected by every choice you make during the interrogation. The optimal range is between 50-70%.

* FEAR: [Unlocked by Analyze] No effect
* SHOW PHOTOS: [Unlocked by Review Photos] Stress +4%
* WOUNDS: [Unlocked by Analyze] Stress +4%
* NAME: No response - Stress -4%

After two choices, you’ll get a different set of options:

* COMFORT: Stress -4%
* REASSURE: Stress -4%
* THREATEN: Stress +4%
* BLAME: Stress +4%

Then Connor can press the subject further:

* SYMPATHIZE: Stress -4%
* THREATEN: Stress +4%
* TRUST: Stress -4%
* PROBE MEMORY: Stress +8%

After two choices, or immediately after threatening to probe its memory, the android will ask if it is going to be destroyed:

* LIE: Stress -4%
* TRUTH: Stress +4%

The android asks why Connor didn’t let it go:

* LIE: Stress -4%
* TRUTH: Stress +4%

Then you get to choose an approach to continue the interrogation (twice):

* Probe its memory: If succeeded, stress goes to 100% unconditionally (forcing him to self destruction)
* Pressure him: Stress +10% for the choice and for every time the player chose "PRESSURE", for a max total of +50%
	+ If the player chose "PRESSURE" all 4 times, the android will behave as if he has too much stress (even if his stress is in the optimal range) and will confess and then self-destruct
	+ Give up: Stress -20%
* Convince it: You'll get 3 sets of 3 different options. If the Stress is within the Optimal Level, the Android will confess. If it's stress is too low or too high, the convince will fail:
* UNDERSTANDING: Stress -7%
* THREATEN: Stress +7%
* ORDER: Stress +7%

Then you will get:

* SYMPATHIZE: Stress -7%
* INDIFFERENT: Stress +7%
* COMFORT: Stress -7%

Then finally:

* PROTECT: Stress -7%
* TERRIFY: Stress +7%
* WARN: Stress +7%

## Relationship Changes

### Hank

* Connor both dies and fails to get the confession
* Connor gets the confession by either pressuring or convincing
* Android was sent back to its cell

### Software Instability

* Successfully probe android's memory
* Android was sent back to its cell
* Connor dies

## Notes

* If you look at the mirror, Connor will randomly stare and Hank will get freaked out;
* If you review the photos, Connor can use it as a dialogue option;
* Similarly to the photos, if you analyze the wounds, Connor can also use it as a dialogue option;
* If you threaten to probe the android's memory, the deviant will panic and start talking;
* Giving up or resisting to probe the first time will loop back to the same choices but now with an option to give up;
* Probing the memory will allow you to hear Carlos Ortiz's voice;
* If you probe the android's memory and try to intervene, the android will smash his head on the table, shoot Connor and then himself;
* The line *"28 STAB WOUNDS!"* and the lines following the "threaten" choice became an Internet meme among the community, due to how unexpected it is and how extreme Connor is;
* If you successfully get the confession, Connor will have a longer conversation with the deviant;
* There are a three additional dialogue options, if Connor investigated the bathroom, he can mention the ra9 signs, the "I AM ALIVE" message and the sculpture;
* If you wait before saying anything when Chris grabs the deviant, you can see the stress level rising up;
* Intervening after the confession leads to one of the most iconic scenes of the game where Gavin and Hank have a dramatic disagreement over Connor's conduct;
* If the android trusts Connor, he'll say to him "The truth is inside";
* This chapter bears a few similarities to the chapter "Under Arrest" from another Quantic Dream game *Heavy Rain*.
