"Exactly how long is this going to take?"
"That depends..."
"On what?"
"Technical specifications, individual software configurations—"
"Just a rough estimate."
"Eight to twelve hours."
Wheatley did a double take. "That long?!"
"Virus scans can take a while on larger hard drives." Virgil explained. "You can go into sleep mode if you want."
Wheatley groaned. "I'm fully charged, mate! I couldn't do that if I wanted to!"
"Well, I don't know what to tell you."
A couple of minutes went by in silence.
"So, what am I supposed to do in the meantime?" Wheatley asked.
Now it was Virgil's turn to groan. "Whatever you want. I don't care. So long as it doesn't involve unplugging yourself until the scan is finished."
Another long pause.
"I have a big hard drive, don't I?"
Virgil forced Wheatley into sleep mode.
