un: WHEATLEY - video
[Having more-or-less adjusted to his new limbs (how nice, limbs, especially metal ones that don't squish), Wheatley finds himself a little smug, even if he's not entirely coordinated or entirely comfortable with this situation. He will pretend to be, and that’s what matters.
Here’s one for all the people who kicked him or shook him or picked him up without his permission when he was an orb. He’s still an orb, but now the orb is on top of a metal body, with arms and legs and everything.]
Check me out!
[He doesn’t seem to be an holding e2-issued phone, or anything really, because he’s waving into what seems to be a mirror in one of the vacation car spas—the logical conclusion is that he is recording and broadcasting this with whatever kind of camera lives in his eye-face.]
Pretty nice, right? Got a little notification on the network program, up here, thought I’d give it a little look-see, and bam! Arms and legs! So, that’s neat. Certainly thoughtful of whoever runs this place. I suppose there's some—some appeal. Thumbs.
[Look he’s doing it he’s giving a double thumbs-up.]
Anyway, thought I should publicize this new development. For all the, uh. For everyone who carried me everywhere, thanks very much, and— [This part sounds a little malicious.] —also for everyone who thought it was a good idea to kick me, or drop me, or knock me around. No more of that. Putting my foot down. I have those, now, I can do that.
I suppose, if it's necessary, I could still—I can explain robots to whoever still needs that explained to them, though honestly if you haven't caught on by now I'm not sure there's hope for you.
[Cough.]
Right, that's all! Just wanted to pop in with that update. Thumbs. And, also. Legs. Walking. Love it. Very cool.

The walking is...fine. It's going well! Better every minute! Taking it, uh. One step at a time. Both figuratively and--and literally, if you know what I mean.
no subject
Tempting as it is, don't worry about speed yet. It takes us a while to build up to that too. One step at a time is a good method!
no subject
[I have no fine motor skills.]
It's appreciated, really. I promise not to try running until I've got a handle on, uh. Everything else.
no subject
Got anything at the top of your new legs list? Skipping rope? Wearing pants?
no subject
I've been practicing picking things up.
no subject
How's that been going anyway? Was there trial and error with the grip sensors or is it pretty intuitive?
no subject
That is...a work in progress. None of this came with any protocols, you see, so I've just been figuring it out the old fashioned way.
no subject
[He knows how concerned Threepio always was with his protocols after all.]
For what it's worth, humans have to figure it out the old fashioned way too. If we can manage it, you'll be walking in no time.
And if you get stuck just ask for a few tips. Humans get a bunch of coaching when we're learning, there's no reason you should have to go without.

You said you used to be entirely indoors before, right?
no subject
Not that I was--was playing nice! I'm genuinely appreciative of all the assistance. Really.
no subject
But I'm sure being on your best behavior didn't hurt.
