As much as you like listening to the voices in your head telling you to smash and kill everything, you'd rather not murder people you've just met. You've got no qualms with looting their stuff though, just have to specify exactly what you want to loot. You take a closer look at the map in the background and notice a bunch of little locations. Seems wherever you are is called Cespia. You're assuming that you're currently at Atmos Tower 76. You give the biggest grin you can manage and give a wave towards the robots. "Hey robo-dudes!" "WE'RE UNDER ATAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!" "Oh calm down it's just a tourist. I forget what they eat, maybe we can find some sort of mushroom to sate it." "Oh hey it's a human. Hi human. It's been awhile since we saw one of your kind in here. Everyone else was kinda... eaten or left." "Oh... well I don't trust it... it could try to touch something. What do you want human?" "Allow me to introduce ourselves. My name is Fip." "I am Fup! I basically run everything around here brah." "I'm Fop. I'm in charge of defense. You know how many creatures outside the tower will try to kill you here? All of them. Especially the cute looking fluffy ones that don't seem to be harmful at all." "Oh uh... let me get rid of these..." "Any reason why you're here human?" "Oh uh... I'm looking for some help with finding or... at least... building a spaceship. I'm heading for the Gwork system." "A spaceship? There's one at the old Sally Burger in town." "I wouldn't go there... the robot living there is completely insane... I wouldn't doubt that he'd try and kill you on sight. No no, you'll want to go to the old hunter that lives here, just a mile away." "Isn't he also insane?" "No he's rich, that means he's just eccentric." "Alrighty, that gives me at least something to go on. Oh hey... actually I've got something for you, Mr. Fop." "I found this old toaster from a drug-filled trip from a really tough puzzle. I have no idea what I actually did but I'm pretty sure I won. Will this help with your robot army?" "By the rock of Lotus it's... it's... it's beautiful. It's even got two top compartments that superheat things before launching them! Give me an hour with this and I'll grab a prototype." You relinquish the excited toaster to Fop. "Pink ???"

Pick up the exclamation points dropped by Fop. If he could control them then they are probably magnetic, and you need something new to throw around anyway.
Will update sometime next week. I've been lacking a planer place to perfectly put a pencil that'd perpetuate the possibility of pixelated pictures. Otherwise known as a table.
You nab the exclamation points. You never know when you'll need to be surprised. Lisa and Avi start to get bored of waiting around and start a riveting game of Stations and Syndicates. "You are in a seedy spaceport bar and before you, you can see the denizens in all their seedy, space-themed seediness. A buxom space wench serves drinks at the tavern counter. At the far end of the bar you can see a charming, intelligent AI named Lisalamore. Mayhaps they have a quest for you hint hint..." "Grrrrrr..." "Hey, I'm still waiting on that mushroom you know." "Oh, yes of course, one moment..." "383, please bring us a mushroom for the guest." The maintenance robot buzzes in annoyance. *Plop* "Phank phlou." "Pink ???"

can we turn the three robots into a motortrike and zoom to the genetics lab? it looks fun make sure lisa is back on top of avi before we go
they just look like they'd lego together pretty well we could just ask them tricking is also an option i guess i don't rly want to attack them but hey i'm only one voice :1
Ask to join in on Lisa and Avi's game of Stations and Syndicates. Propose the character Roxanne, the dashing puzzle-loving space pirate. Use Chutzpah to roleplay.
What! No way! The dashing space pirate Roxanne doesn't just barge into a space tavern like that, she's gotta barge in when the puzzles are most dire... when the other players have no hope of figuring them out. Only then will Roxanne the space pirate puzzler join. Everyone knows that Deus Ex Machinas are the only way to solve unsolvable puzzles! Jeeze! Also you're fairly sure that chutzpah doesn't work like that. It's purpose is to allow you to bend the will of others and make them do what you want like some kinda mental Ivan Drago! "Pink ???"

Will be incorporating the other suggestions but I'll accept any new suggestions if you want to do that.
What is life? Life is the goal of finding the promised land, the land of infinite puzzles. Where the sun always gleams golden, the boxes are pushed endlessly on buttons, and the jigsaws are abundant, flowing, and ever changing. You find the elevator at the left-most side of the room nearby some war propaganda. You question how useful it actually is in this room. It seems "the enemy" is some blue looking woman and "Fishy Joe's". Unfortunately, the elevator has been locked by a nefarious PUZZLE. "If I'm not supposed to be using this than it shouldn't have been made like this in the first place! Bring it on!" "Pink ???"

Consider how and when exactly you're supposed to answer the questions - there doesn't seem to be any imput. The answer to the third question is probably "None, because fishy joe's is the enemy!" But to pass this test, obviously you'll have to do what a robot would do and a human wouldn't. Everyone knows robots can't do captchas, so ignore it and try to walk through the elevator door.
Question one: Because its life is worthless compared to my own. Question two: I do not feel. Question three: None, because I need not consume and fishy joes are the enemy.
You attempt to move through the door without answering the questions as this is obviously a trick puzzle. This was most likely not the correct solution to the puzzle. On the other side of the elevator door, you see a maintenance robot welding up a vent and an elevator touch screen. Your neck feels slightly uncomfortable. You've gained an EMOTICONSTITUTION level! Your max Chutzpah has increased due to the amount of BOLD decisions you've made. "Pink ???"
