Auto escorted Magici-N to the Repair Ward doors, and waited for them to open. As soon as they did, he stoped at the Diagnostics door, and turned to the former entertainment bot."You will be restrained here."
R-reastrined..why?..I dont remember the Captain mentioning......
Until you are assigned to a task to help someone, you will be detained. he motioned for the robot arms to restrain him with anti-grav belts.
Magici-N looked unsure but did not resist.
H-how long do you think that will take?
Auto looked down at him, his eyes coldly reflecting the anger and turmoil bubbling within,"We will see.
Magici-Ns matrix feeling queasy bit bottom lip so um..what sort of tasks will I be assigned then...
Whatever is needed, but.. Auto grabbed Magici-n brusquely, so that their noses nearly touch. The rage becomes more evident in his features. "I'm going to tell you something first." His emotions were very clear, and burned vividly in his eyes. "If there is another disturbance, a single attempt to overthrow my authority. he paused I will see to it that you won't see another trial again.
I will take your fate in my own hands. he presses him closer. And make sure you regret it.
Magici-N felt his own positronic systems lurch a bit at seeing the intensity of Autos rage up close.
I..Uh would never dream of attempting that Auto....Y-you still dont believe that it was all just a joke....A misunderstanding really!
Auto clenched tighter. "Stop trying to lie to me!" his expression turns into a snarl.
Magici-N let out a gasp trying to shift a bit out of Autos grasp. I swear Auto!! the captain believed in me...w-why cant you!!?
Auto shoved him back angrily. "Because I'm not fooled by your act!" he clenched his hands into fists. "Your actions contradict every single thing you say."
Magici-N winced a bit as he is shoved. I cant help my programming....I ...I just want to entertain....t-the Axiom is my stage
I mean no harm by it!
Auto almost trembling with rage, "What?" he felt electricity begin to crackle in his left hand - which contained the internal taser.
Entertaining is my directive.....I will do whatever I can to make things more interesting for humans on the Axiom....taking over the Axiom was sure to be amusing...and a diversion...I really wasnt trying to harm anyone
you have to believe that!
Auto clenched him with the hand, sending arcs of electricity coursing through him, as if attempting to release all the rancor that had convexed in his system.
The Entertainment unit jerked and arches back at the sudden release of electricity in his system...feeling it course up and down is frame burning his very core a ragged scream burst from his throat.
Auto let him go abruptly after a few seconds, stepping back as smoke began to billow from the tasing hand.
Magici-N collapsed to the ground onto his knees before Auto trembling and shaking as acrid smelling smoke wafted from his system...he opened his mouth to speak but couldnt and only let out a choking coughing sound.
Auto stood silent, staring down at him. The anger was gone and he returned to his blank, unfeeling demeanor.
Magici-N tried standing but his systems were still shaking. S-so is this how its going to be Auto? He let out a hard cough.
I apologize.. I don't know what came over me.
And they say I am defective. Magici-N muttered under his breath.
Tell me when you have recovered.
Magici-N glared up at Auto a bit and stood this time successfully to his feet. why...so you can taze me again?
Auto grabbed his arm roughly, noticing the dark smudge on his clothes. We have to change your uniform."
A hiss of pain escaped Magici-Ns lips as he was grabbed, but continued to eye Auto warily. What did you have in mind?.....a maids outfit *smirks a bit trying to change the mood to humor.....or a pair of black and white striped pajamas?
or one of those bright orange jumpsuits?
.I have been thinking of changing my look anyways. meting Autos cold silence mad Magici-N desperate for humor now.
Auto looked back up to the arms. Bring service robot uniform - the elastic smartskin."
A panel emerged from the wall, revealing several rails of perfectly organized clothes. One of the arms hoisted a plain uniform - the dull clothes of a service drone.
Auto turned around to Magici-N. "Put it on."
What? right here??...turn around!!..I dont want you watching!!
No. Put them on.
Cant I have a changing room!!?
No.
B-but I cant put it on while your watching!...its..its humiliating!
You are a robot, you have nothing I don't know is there.
......Yeah but.....I am not used to such things...back in my alcove behind the staging area I have my own private dressing room!
Put on your clothes or I will have to apprehend you and do it myself..
You wouldnt dare
Autos anger flares up again. PUT THEM ON!"
No!..I dont think I should have to do this with you standing here!!.I am a level 1 bot...I demand decency!
Auto quickly calms himself down,".... Hurry up.", he looks away.
Magici-N quickly pulls off his old entertainment uniform and proceeds to put on the dull and ill-fitting service bot uniform.
Are you finished?
Yes..you can look now! but its not very comfortable.
It will mold to your body shape after a while. Auto then goes to him, and carefully slides one of the sleeves up Magici-N's arm - the one that had been shocked. He carefully inspectes it to see if there are any burn marks.
Ow..H-hey...havnt you dont enough? Magici-N tries to jerk arm away.
Auto held it firm, Stop jerking, I am trying to see if you are damaged physically."
I'm FINE! I've had worse!!!
You appear undamaged. We can go meet the Captain now.
T-the Captain Now?
We have to see what your first assignment will be.
......Oh uh yeah.. Magici-N pressed his lips together looking worried. What kind of work do you suppose I will have to do?
Something you would find humiliating.
R-really?...l-like what for example!?
I don't know.
....yes you do!
Not in specifics.
ok then how about non-specifically!?
Something to right what you did wrong.
...that is vague
do you think that there will be an audience to watch me do it?
No.
Magici-N is silent for a moment looking crestfallen. A-are you sure?
I can perhaps suggest an area where there may be one - if you tell me who are your followers.
My followers?.....do they interest you? Magici-N said Looking slightly smug.
I assumed it would be easy to tell who they were at the hearing...they were the annoying loud ones.
They are not all there - all who participated
.You can ease a burden on the robot population by telling me where they are, so I do not have to filter them out.
Honestly you could put everyone on the entire axiom on that list Auto..I am well loved by all!
you should see the fan mail I get
I assume you do not wish to answer me? I suppose you will just have to be interrogated later.
I-interrogate?
w-well I dont have that many fans really.....I mean...its not like they mean anything to me
why should they mean anything to you?
It doesn't matter, you don't want to tell me on your own - so I will have to force the answers out.
force...b-but you cant do that!?....the Captain wont approve of it..I..I will tell him!
It won't hurt Magici-N, I am only going to review your memory banks.
B-but thats an invasion of my privacy!
thats worse than undressing in front of you!!
Youre not a programmer you dont have the right!
Auto tilts his head, "While we have privacy - I better do it now then.", he turns to the arms
W-what NO!..Dont!! The Arms whip to him, and near towards the robot to pin him onto one of the tables deeper into the Ward.
Auto STOP!!! Please YOU CANT!!! I'll tell the Captain!!!
Auto stands afar, arms folded behind him neatly, stature erect. "Take him to TR-05.", he said, and the arms obeyed.
Magici-N trying to fight against the arms desperately. Auto...dont do this I beg!! Its not right....its not DECENT!!!!
Autos blank expression begins to turn into a small smile, Shut him down, so that it may begin."
Magici-N gasps fighting with everything he has. NO WAIT!!! I'll TELL!! Ill NAME THEM ALL for YOU..just DONT SHUT ME DOWN!!! He begins to sob.
Please do. Auto approaches him. List. Now.
Magici-N gasps for breath looking up with a terrified expression.
Ummm...t-there are so many..PR-P.....Skizz-R....um..um..Jest-R....Teach-R....umm....um Magici-N says wracking brain
.all the child units 001-004
.Vn-Go!
Go on. Auto says calmly.
Magici-N still sweating looking desperate
Supply-R
EveMus-E...yes ...yes..LV-wire
Surely there are more? Auto said leering down
I'm..I'm thinking!!...Misfits
all her children....Mik-A
Cira...the trhee Melod-D units
.Blay
.Net-s
.Roz-kun
Can-Vs
..Please..I..I cant think anymore!!
Think, because I don't believe that is the end. Auto pressed coolly.
Magici-N whimperd almost in tears now. Um...Report-R
Sarah.....Zani
..Please..Auto.......I..I cant...
What a surprise. Venom in his voice at the mention of her name, That is fine, I will spare you the effort. He then snapd his fingers, and the arms shift once again, setting him down on one of the tables.
NO..w-what I..told..all I KNOW PLEASE!!!
Ignoring Magici-N Auto pulles a cable from the wall, and places it in one of the android's ports* Commence shut down sequence.
A loud cry issued from Magici-N NNNOOOoooooo............... then slumps motionless on the table.
Auto then turns to the Repair Ward arms.
"Retrieve the data concerning the involvement of the conflict. Erase the recent 30 minutes of memory. When he wakes up, he is to have been told he experienced an error and fell unconscious when he entered."
The Repair Ward Arms beep in response and start to work on the deactivated entertainment unit.

Magi, I'm probably going to end up repeating this but don't provoke him, you utter moron.

"Is the cup half full or half empty?"
"Idunno, depends on what's in the cup. Is it liquid? It is gravel? Perhaps beetroot, prawns, maybe blood. Is it used in a sacrifical context?"

Hail Magici-N...the most humble of them all!
And if the uniform is that bad, find some material of whatever colour and learn to stitch.

I can think of at least one 'droid who would gladly help if asked.

Or, you know, you could just not try adding anything to the uniform. Whatever works.
