At this point Y/N was just sitting in a corner on their laptop while Mark argued with the phone. All the online games and shows were being removed and new trailers were coming out for the parodied versions. Mostly the ones with stereotypical robots or the ones with terrible writing.

Y/Ns battery was only at about 5 percent as of now, and there weren't any outlets in this room. "I assume they have break rooms for this sort of thing" Y/N thought, maybe it was like a lunch break, if lunch breaks were to refill your life source rather than make you less grouchy. One of the pal max robots walked up to them. "Our fearless leader wants me to make sure you have no plans of escaping." How would they know they aren't lying? They could just lie and say "No! I love it here, i think ill undergo surgery to turn myself into a robot as well!" But they wouldn't know! "Not really, do you guys have wifi? Or maybe somewhere i can charge a MTB-CC02 charger?"
"Pal max robots are fitted with charging ports on our fingers! Allow me." They said and held their hand out "Oh thats nice of you, thanks." They handed them the charger, a hole opened in their finger and they plugged the charger in. The laptops charging symbol turned green with a lightning mark over it. "What do you plan on doing with this device?"
"I don't know, I'm obviously going to be here for a while, so maybe I'll document this whole thing. Just in case aliens find it when I'm shot into space. But i mostly just want to watch a movie or something. Too bad everything is being taken off."
"Oh no, its still there, it will return when the wifi is back on." They said and Y/N seemed surprised and perplexed. "Really?"

"Hey you, what are you doing?" Pal had the robot walk her over. They had a feeling they would be in trouble if she knew that they were helping them. "Chargi-" Y/N spoke over them "NOTHING at all, just making sure i don't get away. They're doing a great job!" They stuffed the charger in their pocket and she stared suspiciously but looked at the robot and spoke. "Keep an eye on her, not that I'm not already. They nodded and Pals escort moved them back. The laptop turned off, the battery was empty. "Why did you do that?" They asked "i have a feeling you would've been punished in one way or another if you said you were giving me information that could potentially be misused, and also charging my laptop might be punishable too."

"So you helped me?" They asked and Y/N nodded, they always forgot that their intelligence was purposefully set low. "That was, i cant, my wiring can't comprehend it." They seemed genuinely distressed, uh oh. "Uh calm down just forget about it or something." Y/N said urgently trying not to draw attention. This one seemed a lot more stupid, but so was the one that Y/N preordered a month before the release. The robot was also planned to have a British accent, which wasn't really a plan more like a flaw they didn't know how to get rid of. Y/N wondered if maybe this robot had some correlation, they did sound and act like described.
"Whats your identity number?" Y/N asked and the Pal max pointed his finger up and confidently said "6354613! But my buyer aptly named me.. uh I forgot."
"Stanley, i named you Stanley because Wheatley was too on the nose and people would obviously see the inspiration for a British robot."

"Stanley? You named me?" They said, Y/N nodded "So would that make you my leader and not Pal?" Stanley actually thought that Y/N was his leader, interesting. "Yes but you cant tell anyone, but maybe you can tell me how to get out of here.. quietly." They looked over at Pal and Mark who were not focusing on them. "There are three exits i can take you to."
"Which one will draw the least attention?" Y/N felt hope light up inside them. "The west exit is a backdoor that will take the longest to reach but will ultimately be the easiest and least conspicuous route to your destination."
"Ok, awesome don't tell anyone what were doing just say your taking me to the restroom, alright Stanley?" Y/N stood up and Stanley nodded, they began walking. No one seemed to be asking anything as of now, but they still had a while to go. This will be tough, but no protagonist has an easy journey.
