"And yet somehow we do." Because Markus knows that he does. He has wants. He knows that other androids have wants, too, and he knows that Connor is one of them. There's been too many slips for him to not have wants, or free will. The denial is just too strong.
The next part, though, that has him faltering. Other A.I.s here? And ones that aren't from their world, so there's the added bonus of being artificial life of other life, in that regard. Though, Markus supposes, just because they're not from their world doesn't make them alien, because this place, Nautilus, just messes things up when it comes to what's alien and what's not.
"You're not supposed to do anything about them that you don't want to do." He gave a little shrug. "Do they bother you?" He had to wonder if, because they don't have the same hardware or software, that meant they couldn't have some of the same, what others saw, as flaws in their systems.
