You do as your told. You clean up after the dirty astronaut with a vacuum cleaner.
Weeks pass without you being able to escape from your metallic body... But one day... It all changes.
You try to float through a corridor one day, when you notice a screw hanging from your sliver arm. You active repair mode and unscrew your finger and bend the tip back to reveal a hidden screwdriver. You try to put the screwdriver in the screw so you could fix your arm but just then an astronaut bumps into you in the hallway. You both collide and go flying across the tube like passageway together. You try to stop yourself by grabbing onto a dangling tube but your sharp screwdriver finger cuts through it due to the speed you were travelling at - Only god knows how the astronaut gained this much speed while rushing down a hallway. Finally you hit a solid wall at the end of the space station. You are completely fine but the astronaut that you just impaled with your finger upon impact has become unconscious. You pick up a disturbing frequency coming from the space station. That of a distress signal. You obviously had to be designed to detect distress signals.... It was the distress signal often used to indicate lack of oxygen.... That tube you cut when falling.... It was an oxygen transport tube. You knew what they were going to do to you if you accidentally killed a space station worth of people. They would label you as defective and send you into the vacuum of space to be forgotten... Or worse... You need to escape.
