I, ROBOT"CATCH THAT RABBIT"
Powell and Donovan run Dave through some tests—the usual math and ethics problems and he seems to be fine.
Donovan thinks Dave might be planning a robot rebellion. Powell thinks Donovan is an idiot who reads too many stupid adventure novels.
They set up some security cameras to see when Dave goes haywire. They want to find out what he's doing and when he's doing it.
What he's doing: it turns out that Dave and the robots are mostly marching or dancing around.
When he's doing it: when there's a cave-in or other type of emergency.
Powell and Donovan interview one of the worker robots, one of Dave's "fingers." But fingers don't know a lot, so that doesn't help much.
So Powell and Donovan decide to go cause a cave-in in order to see what Dave does.
Of course, they get caught in the cave-in. And they're running out of oxygen in their space suits. And Dave has gone haywire, of course.
Luckily there's a small hole between where the humans are trapped and where the robots are dancing. So Powell does what anyone would do in that situation: he shoots one of the worker robots.
That snaps Dave out of the trance and he saves them.
Powell explains to Donovan that Dave was going haywire when he had to control all six worker robots at once. Like, during an emergency. It would be like walking, chewing gum, counting to ten, reading this guide, and doing two other things at the same time.
The interviewer notes that Calvin warms up when the subject is robots. So he asks her to tell him about an experience she had with robots.
