This is, categorically, your worst idea.

~And I assure you I've 'ad worse. Besides, you got any better ones?~

At least seven, however I am not allowed to implement at least five of them.

One of them involves a flamethrower.

~So implement one of the other two, or sod off.~

[There's a long beat while he considers the words, running through all the possible interpretations before finally settling for a questioning tilt of the head.]

Is that a directive or a polite request?

~Directive! We are stuck inside this bloody... room? Cell? And since neither of us can starve, we'll drive one another mad long before we can die.~

It is far more likely that you will be driven mad long before I have been. I am a robot. I cannot go insane.

[They fixed that particular bug!]

But if it will make you stop complaining about it, the staggeringly intelligent robot will solve the problem for you.

[He would roll his eyes, if his lenses could do that. But they can't. Because they are lenses.

So instead he walks over to the door and starts scanning it, complete with a soft whirring noise.]

[He watches, torn between relief and exasperation.]

~Machine Man, innit?~

[Fortunately, Aaron is very adept at multitasking.

....also it helps that it's just a door and therefore not very complicated.]

Aaron Stack. But yes, I have gone by Machine Man.

~Is it true you got taken up into space by intergalactic gods and then brought back down because yer shit?~

[Oh good, insults. He straightens and takes a step back from the door, fixing the kid with an irritated look. Somehow.]

Who told you that. Because they are exceedingly incorrect.

~Just a rumour.~

Well the rumor is incorrect.

But clearly you don't want the allegedly shit robot to help you, if you're criticizing, so you can find your own way out.

~Clearly.

We're stuck in 'ere together, mate. Wasn't criticising, anyway.~

And I will outlast you, since I am a robot.

It sounded a lot like a criticism. I do not help ungrateful fleshies.

~Might do.

Fleshies?~
