Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A completed webcomic by author Alex Woolfson and artist Winona Nelson, which ran from March 2011 to March 2012. One of four finalists for the 26TH Annual Lambda Literary Awards in the "Graphic Novel" category. It can be found here.It was supposed to be a routine "clean-up" mission on the isolated colony Da Vinci Four, but Deacon, a prototype android soldier, has failed spectacularly. Not only did he disobey orders, letting a 19-year-old business liability named Jeff survive, he also attacked and killed those who were sent to help him. Now, the brilliant and uncompromising robopsychologist Clarice Maven has been summoned by the Corporation to determine why.With Deacon at her absolute mercy, Maven will find out exactly what happened between the android and this boy—and she will use her terrible power to make sure Deacon never fails the Corporation ever again.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

All There in the Manual: According to comments left by alex in the comments section, the other four Deacon-lookalike androids all have names starting with "D" as well, though he hasn't yet revealed what exactly those names are.

Androids Are People, Too

comment
Androids Are People, Too: Subverted. The corp's marketing pitches this idea to the public to make them more comfortable about androids. But behind closed doors they treat them as tools and weapons.

comment
And I Must Scream: Thanks to his immobilization codes, Deacon was paralyzed, helpless as the man he loved was knocked unconscious, then thrown into a cell when he laid inert on the floor for three days, having nothing but part of the wall and worrying about Jeff to occupy the time until his battery died. Yeesh.
