[ Connor finds himself in a state that's becoming more familiar than he'd like — one in which he has no idea where he is, how he got here, or what he's supposed to do now. This isn't Deerington. He can tell that much. It feels different though if pressed he'd have a hard time explaining why. He deals in facts, figures, things rooted in the real world. The notion that "this place just doesn't feel the same as the one I was just at" is too abstract a concept for him to fully verbalize.
He wanders, because what else is he supposed to do? After lecturing people at the gas station about the sugar content of slushies he winds up at the barrier and throws a rock at it with enough speed and velocity to kill a man. Watches said rock bounce off and disappear into the trees. Tries to determine what this barrier is and fails. Gives up. Heads back.
He'd avoided the cabins at first because he's really only prone to breaking and entering with the mission is at stake or... you know, that time with Hank, but now he's starting to think committing some light trespassing might be fine if it nets more answers.
It's perhaps fate (Connor doesn't believe in fate) that the first cabin he chooses appears to be occupied. Or, rather, that it appears to contain another light trespasser. The cabin itself looks vacant so the movement he hears in the adjacent room might belong to another hopeless looking-for-answerser like himself. Or maybe a bear.
(Just kidding, it doesn't sound heavy enough to be a bear. Also, no bear sounds. It's definitely not a bear, probably not a wendigo either. Wait, wrong choice-based game.) ]
Hello?
[ He'd rather avoid a fight if he can so he takes careful steps towards the door, listening carefully for more movement, ready to back off and negotiate if he hears anything that even sounds slightly uh... aggressive? Defensive shuffling? Look, he's a very fancy android, he can definitely tell if noises in another room are defensive or not. ]
