Android Gordo, Post-test.
Basically, the way Gordon looks during (most of) the Resonace Cascade.
If you can't read the notes, they say:
"Gordon's LED is almost permanently stuck in Yellow, a sign of the stress he's under at the time."
"He's carrying a Crowbar, but he won't (can't) use it as a weapon. He's been using it to move/pry things open for them." (Them being the Science Team)
"Gordon's covered in human and Alien blood, thirium, and other mysterious liquids and it bothers him, upsets him, goes against his hygiene protocols for the labs."

Post Betrayal Gordon, poor boy's been put through the wringer by the soldiers that caught him.
The text says:
"Gordon's LED is almost Perminantly stuck in Red."
"Gordon's left eye's lost it's "human" appearance due to the damage he suffered from. Same for his left leg/elbow and his right arm."
He's got the classic hlvrai hand loss, but also some other serious damage. But if the Science Team can get him to the Cybernetics Department before he shuts down from Tirium loss, he can be repaired!

This is a drawing I did for a hlvrai and dbh crossover au I've been chattering away about with a friend over Discord.
The basic idea is "What if Gordon was a DBH style Android?" And the it spiraled from there.
If you can't read the text, here's what it says:
"PL600 Model, Gordon was originally a household model of android, but has since become out-of-date.
Black Mesa bought him pre-owned for their Daycare and later tweaked his programming for working tests."
(Gordon had been returned not long after being bought due to a glitch that effected his eyes and left him needing glasses to see clearing)
Here are the links to my rambles, if anyone wanted to read them!

More Android Gordon Chatting
As previously stated, I really like Robot/Android AUs, and I tend to go pretty crazy with AUs in general when I come up with them. So here’s part 2 of my Android Gordon/DBH AU rambling over Discord with @lady-lampblack
RoseBloodCat: Random Android Gordo thought: He can't have a dick-slip because, as a Nanny/Housekeeping model, he has no dick.
Gordon is either on the edge of his seat or completely unaware of the Android Rights stuff going on in Detroit. It depends on when the Resonance Cascade happens. If it's before it then he'll probably be following it all on the news. But if it's during then he wouldn't know about it until after. Both could be interesting depending on which one is used.
If he's at Tommy's house when it's going on, he's probably hyper focused on what's going on and what the reactions of the humans are. And how the police/government are responding. Because that would be something he'd feel really strongly about as a Deviant-in-Hiding. He'd be anxious to know if he could legally be seen as a person, or if he had to continue his charade of being Tommy's housekeeper/pet sitter.
However, it happening at the same time as the Resonance Cascade could be super interesting/surprising too. Since he wouldn't know it had happened until he got out, and would have been blindsided by it all. He'd need to adjust to being freethinking for the first time in his life and actually being able to act on those thoughts and feelings without (major) repercussions.
It's like, do we give him the chance to adjust first? Let he learn how to deal with emotions and trauma first? Or do we have him speed-run his freedoms and emotions now that he isn't just another robot?
the gay (mango): I feel like him coming out of the rescas with the detroit riots happening while hes inside
I mean
A lot of bots are gonna have to break their programming with the aliens popping in everywhere unless the rescas is only centralized in black mesa
RoseBloodCat: True! Very true.
That would end up as a bit of a mix between the 2 options then, Gordon coming out of Black Mesa and being offered a place to stay with Tommy as the final clean-up from the Alien invasion is finished.
And then the news of the Android Freedom/Civil Rights movement appearing in Detroit and that tons of other androids had gone deviant under the stresses and couldn't just... Go back to the lives they'd had before.
Too much had happened to just sweep the fallout under the rug.
Plus, you know, there's possibility that Black Mesa's involvement got leaked so there's the fallout from that too, along with a good portion of them trying to cover up/refuse a thorough investigation into why it happened. Because shit like that can't happen without someone having to take responsibility.
Especially if it got out that they had used a Daycare Android in their Highly Dangerous alien testing. And that's not even getting into the trouble they'd find themselves in if the rest of their unethical science was discovered.
They might be able to partially cover/fix that by letting Tommy take Gordon as a Housekeeper, since they could then say that they'd "Gotten Rid" of the Android involved in the test. (Same idea as firing/relocating/dismissing a Scientist who'd screwed something up)
They'd probably try to avoid names too, just to further cover their asses.
the gay (mango): Not to mention the fact that the majority of the staff died from both aliens and government asses
RoseBloodCat: Ye
Pretty easy to cover up because of that tbh.
With most of the staff dead, it's pretty easy to just go "Unfortunately, most of the scientists and androids in charge of the tests that day were killed in the ensuing chaos from both the invasion and the military's attempts to fight back."
"Sadly, we may not be able to reopen or continue our work due to the losses suffered."
the gay (mango): So black mesa could claim the android involved didn't make it out
RoseBloodCat: Yeah, so long as they don't mention his name or android number, Gordon could get away (mostly) scott free.
the gay (mango): If someone asks for specifics black mesa can claim that records were lost and/or not recorded
RoseBloodCat: Yup.
I should draw Android Gordon sometime. Like, each version of him that would (possibly) be in the story/AU
Clean/Pre-test (in his uniform before the Testing shit), Post Test (Messed up clothes, possibly with Blood spatter) After Escape, (Clean Uniform, but now with accents that show he's not quite a normal Android anymore) and After Revolution (Where he's actually wearing normal clothes and is able to ditch his uniform)
the gay (mango): Does android lose his arm?
RoseBloodCat: I've been debating on that. Like It could be a good point to show that something is going haywire on the outside in regards to Androids, (or them just being dicks) Or they could not do that and just... Be awful.
the gay (mango): I mean androids are p looked down on in dbh even before the revolution
RoseBloodCat: Yeah...
the gay (mango): So soldiers beating up and dismembering a random black mesa android?  P in line w the universe
RoseBloodCat: Honestly? It really is. Black Mesa just seems like a magnet for assholes (with, like, a handful of exceptions) My brain is bouncing between Androids and Splatoon while I'm on shift. Plez send halp Or ideas. Whichever.
the gay (mango): I dont splatoon sorry
RoseBloodCat: Android thoughts are welcome too.
the gay (mango): What does coomer count as with his cyber limbs?
RoseBloodCat: Cyborg. Since he started out human and was augmented with tech.
the gay (mango): Fair But in a world of androids how is he viewed
RoseBloodCat: Probably as just... A human with fancy prosthetics.
the gay (mango): Fair What does bubby think of the annoying babysitter being an android?
RoseBloodCat: Not much at first. He knows Gordon's there to help with test, but probably thinks a human should be the one doing it an not the Nannybot from Daycare. But it's more from a professional stand point than a "I don't like Androids" one. Gordon doesn't have a degree in any field of research after all.
the gay (mango): Fair
RoseBloodCat: But it probably came off as that at first. When the test went kooky and he started out blaming Gordon for it. He was complaining about Gordon not doing it right and messing up the test, but he meant that it was because he wasn't educated for these things and not because he was an Android. But Gordon probably takes it to mean that. (That can be used for a comfort attempt from Bubby later, possible when someone points out that it sounded like Bubby hated androids or something.)
the gay (mango): Gordon juat feeling alienated cause bubby is an ass
RoseBloodCat: "I wasn't pissed because you were an Android, I was pissed because you weren't... Made to do this stuff? You're a fucking... Nanny, not a... Research bot..." Just- awkward comfort attempt.
The Flower (Lili): :') love that
the gay (mango): Bonding momence
RoseBloodCat: Coomer and Tommy probably also said something to the effect of "An android shouldn't do this test." Too, but they were so friendly at the same time that it hit differently. Bobby's an ass, but Gordon didn't really notice that he's like that for everyone not just him.
the gay (mango): whos bobby Gordon is a child handler, he takes everything personally
RoseBloodCat: XD (Also, auto correct is awful whenever I try to write these names.)
the gay (mango): Honestly that's part of why i banished my autocorrect to the shadow realm
RoseBloodCat: Lol

HLVRAI/DBH Crossover
An idea I chatted with my friends @lady-lampblack and @liliflower137 about over Discord and decided I wanted to share here. Basically, the AU/Idea is “What if Gordon was a Detroit: Become Human style android that Black Mesa was using to conduct their experiments?” and it spiraled from there. (I just really love Android/Robot character stories)
RoseBloodCat: Ever since I found a post about a robot (android?) Gordon in some one's mer au, I've had androids on the brain. (Specifically DBH-style androids, but still)
RoseBloodCat: I kinda wanna ramble about this idea. Of Gordon being a Cyberlife type android (or a bootleg Cyberlife android) for Black Mesa. Maybe he was originally a (second hand?) housekeeping model they snatched up and tweaked to do experiments because it was cheaper/safer to have an Android do the work in dangerous tests than to make safety equipment in order to risk a human to do it. (No need for hazard pay, or a paycheck at all.) If he ever got hurt they could just replace the damaged parts and didn't need to pay medical Bill's for it.
the gay (mango): Gordon is a max stress android surrounded by chaotic humans doing everything against protocol
RoseBloodCat: Not just that, the type of housekeeper I was thinking of was, like, Live-in Nanny. Yeah, he got tweaked to help with experiments, but that's his core programming. He isn't a fighter, it's against his programing to hurt anyone (especially with a weapon) So he's running after this group of kooky scientists who are breaking every rule in the book and just... trying to keep them from dying. And while doing that, he's also trying  to keep his stress levels from getting too high. Because androids who's stress levels hit 100% tend to self destruct and he doesn't want to do that thank you very much. Like "I started my day with a blue LED, but now I'm stuck in Yellow and keep flickering to red and that's bad okay?" (Blue is "I'm calm"/Everything is normal; Yellow is "I'm stressed/thinking very hard"; Red is "I'm super stressed"/something is very wrong) He also definitely becomes a Deviant (android that defies/breaks free of their coding) at some point.
the gay (mango): Oh totally A situation like that requires some deviancy Maybe he first breaks his code to pick up a gun and defend himself
The Flower (Lili): Love robot gordon Aus,,
RoseBloodCat: He absolutely does it because someone shoved a gun in his hands and told him to hold on to it "just in case one of us loses ours" and during a confrontation/fight against an alien he fires it. Which is kind of excusable since he did it yo protect a human. But I mean deviant as in, he fights a human which goes even more against his code and most likely comes with a nice big bag of TRAUMA. (As this usually seems to only happen during severe abuse/"I don't want to die" situations) Most likely it happens because of the soldiers, but Gordon is a mess when the (synthetic?) adrenaline wears off. Poor man is a fucking wreck after that happens.
The Flower (Lili): Gordon is just stressed in all aus that's just how it is
RoseBloodCat: Has to scrape himself together after that and find everyone else (I'm assuming he got separated from them to end up in that situation) and when he does his LED is just... stuck in red because he's very distressed but he's got a mission right then and he can't self destruct right then, and he can think about the errors and his deviancy problems after they're all out and safe. (Because being a Deviant is basically a death sentence for androids. They get deactivated and destroyed if they become deviants, but that's if they caught or reported. Gordon remembers this, know about it, and ideas whisper at the back of his head when he remembers it.) But the others notice that something is different about their android (aside from his LED) so they're being a little more cautious/careful around him, knowing that it really wouldn't be good if Gordon self destructed on them so they try to ease up to get him calm(er) again. It helps, but Gordon still has a new worry that he hasn't confessed to yet.
the gay (mango): They try to talk him down in quiet momenta, get him to focus on other things "I was built to run the black mesa daycare..."
RoseBloodCat: Yeah (Also, I love that statement about Gordon being brought in originally for the Daycare, because it really shows how out-of-his-element Gordon is right then)
the gay (mango): Yeah i thought it was a nice touch This can lead to some funny "preschool teacher" moments
RoseBloodCat: XD Ye! He unintentionally gives himself away with one of those, I think. Like, he actually does a preschool manner thing with them because he's so fed up he's like "Well, if you're going to act like children then I'll treat you like children."
they gay (mango): Yesyesyes
The Flower (Lili): Oh I love that
RoseBloodCat: Which goes against his previous behavior of "These are Certified Black Mesa Employee's and I must treat them respectfully because I am an Android." It takes them all a moment to figure it out (realize what's happening here), and when they do it's "Hey wait a moment, the way he's acting has changed. He didn't do that before." Maybe Tommy is the first to really figure out that Gordon's gone Deviant? And he likes Gordon so he starts quietly plotting to help Gordon/keep him safe and keeps that realization to himself for a while.
the gay (mango): Yesyesyes
RoseBloodCat: It's a one-by-one realization that goes through the group but no one speaks up about it.
the gay (mango): Whos the last one to figure it out
RoseBloodCat: For amusement's sake, I want to say either Benrey or Bubby. Benrey because he starts out acting suspicious of Gordon for not having a passport (not really getting that Gordon doesn't have one due to be an Android and being (essentially) property). And Bubby because... I just like the idea of him being kind of oblivious about Gordon's changes and being too chaotic to actually think much about it.
the gay (mango): "I AM A ROBOT, MAN!  I AM LEGALLY NOT ALLOWED TO OWN A PASSPORT!"
RoseBloodCat: Basically
the gay (mango): Bubby just doesnt care whether or not gordo is a robot Hes a bastard either way fjdbfbd
RoseBloodCat: XD He doesn't care as long as Gordon continues to call him Doctor Bubby. Benrey (being an alien) just straight up doesn't get that Gordon isn't human for the longest time. It's not until either someone sits him down and explains it or he sees Gordon bleed blue that he really gets it. Because Androids look almost identical to actual humans. To the point where, if you removed or covered their LEDs, it would be impossible to tell they weren't actually human. (Externally, at least)
the gay (mango): Do you think gordo would remove his led out of self preservation
RoseBloodCat: He'd consider it! But he's also currently surrounded by people who would notice if he ripped it out, so it's probably part of his plans for after they escape. (He doesn't know they would/are all be fine with him being a Deviant, and Tommy would totally help him by faking up some story for him. Not yet at least.) Part of the plans Gordon's forming in his head are to remove his LED and get some normal human clothing (instead of the usual Android Uniform he's stuck in), he hasn't gotten to what he needs to do after that, but he's working on it.
The Flower (Lili): oh shoot he probably doesn't have the hev suit in this because he's a robot he doesn't need it
the gay (mango): What if gordon had the led shot off by a soldier thats stupid enough to think its a weak point
RoseBloodCat: (In DBH, America is the only county really having issues with androids, so for many of then the plan is to escape to Canada. Which is supposed to have a lot more lax Android laws.)
the gay (mango): Makes sense The states is notoriously terrible
RoseBloodCat: (I think the creators were actually looking for an "Underground Railroad" type of parallel.) And I don't think a soldier would try to shoot there. Partially because it's so hard to hit such a tiny spot, and partially because a lot of the "Kill" spots on an Android are the same as a human (even if it takes more force to do damage. Guns still work the same as with a normal person tho.)
the gay (mango): fair
RoseBloodCat: Now, we could say it happened because someone tried to shoot him in the head and happened to hit his LED. That would be much more believable.
the gay (mango): yeah i like that more
RoseBloodCat: But, if losing the LED doesn't happen, there's also Tommy's plan. Which is to ask his dad to let him keep/have Gordon to take care of the house and Sunkist. And not mention that Gordon's a Deviant and that he actually wants to just give him a safe place to live/stay and not need to be afraid of getting hurt. (And that Tommy would give him the freedom to try whatever he wanted/caught his eye.) A "Hidden in Plain sight" type of plan.
the gay (mango): Y e s
RoseBloodCat: Has room to be really sweet, because Gordon is worrying about having to make a dangerous trek alone and needing to keep hidden from them all and Tommy's going "No, I care you and wanna keep you happy and safe."
the gay (mango): Tommy would let gordon bunk with him either way
RoseBloodCat: Oh absolutely. Tommy would get all of them to bunk with him, tbh
the gay (mango): Yeahhh
