I've done nothing wrong. Except for all the atrocities. Besides that I'm innocent

The craziest thing about most of the androids is that when they deviate, their personality reflects most the emotion that pushed them to that breaking point. The ones that are scared tend to be more withdrawn and not as eager to talk while the ones that deviated out of anger are far more outspoken and prone to those outbreaks. Case in point, Markus deviated to protect, mostly from a place of anger and pride, and that's what drives him.

Josh was jumped and beaten and probably chased off the campus. There was probably a lot that led up to that moment, the students messing with him and purposely trying to push his buttons to make him angry the way they would any other professor. But, Josh didn't fight back. He is angry because of the way he was treated, but refuses to drop to that same level that they did. He doesn't want to fight fire with fire, and he makes sure everyone knows that.

His temper is fierce because that anger built up to him deviating. He was pushed to that edge and when he finally realized he had a choice, he understood. He couldn't run, he knew it wouldn't stop them. All he could do was wait until they were satisfied enough to leave him. It fueled him to want to help other androids who were going through the same thing, find somewhere for them to be safe and hidden. Somewhere they could be free.

“There’s some good on this world - and it’s worth fighting for.”
