The elevator works?

Yep. All it needed was power.

Excellent. How long do you think it'll be before Florence has the ship ready to fly?

With the port fusion engine fixed, it can fly right now.

He's smiling. That's a good thing. So why are all my self preservation routines coming on line?

Have you ever flown a spaceship?

No, but I have flown a dirigible.

The principle's the same. Make something hot, the ship goes up. It's not rocket science.

Uhmm…

Okay, so maybe it IS rocket science. But how hard can it be?

Rocket science - (colloquial) a job that requires extraordinary mental abilities. The literal meaning of this expression (“rocket science”) is also played here.

Our ship…isn't like…a dirigible. Dirigibles go up because of helium.

We have a fusion engine. When it makes helium, our ship goes up. See? There's no major difference between our ship and a dirigible.

I think…I will only…talk to Florence about technology. When I talk to Sam..my brain keeps trying to lock up.

That is why Helix sometimes shows miracles of ingenuity, sometimes clumsy stupidity. If it's Helix, of course, and not Mark (Robot Spike)
Helix is not stupid, he is childish and therefore behaves like a child (ANDroidFox)

Hey! The door won't push open! Florence locked us out of the Cockpit!

No, wait! She wouldn't do that. There must be a way in. We have power. We can get in by PUSHING THE “OPEN” BUTTON!

Don't you see, Helix. It was a test! By figuring out how to get in, she must know we're ready to fly the ship!

I want to get into the air as soon as possible.

I know what to do! I know what to do! Press that button!

I'm actually learning how this ship works. Sam must be so proud of me.

Helix. I'm going to say this slowly to make sure you understand completely. Take the chair and put it back into the ship.

[!1.2]'CAUSE I WANT TO DO THAT AGAIN!

The seat's back, the ceiling panel's duct taped in place. Why can't I eject?

Explosive bolt error? Why should the ejection seat care about the ceiling panels?

Two words. Roof pizza.

Okaaay. I guess that IS an important safety feature.

Let's get this ship flying! Hey, this sounds impressive. “Initiate Tritium injection”.

[!1.2]WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE DETECTED. TRITIUM INJECTION SYSTEM IS FOR REACTOR START UP ONLY. SYSTEM IS NOW ISOLATED AND OFF LINE.

I've noticed that once you find something working, it doesn't stay working very long.

Yeah. I'll have to talk to Florence about the quality of her repairs.

Activate iron jets.

[!1.2]WARNING: MAGNETIC SCOOPS CAN NOT BE USED IN THE ATMOSPHERE. COMMAND ABORTED.

Helix. Look at this command program. It's learning from my mistakes and adapting itself to my piloting skills.

Wow! It's not letting you near any of the vital systems anymore.

Bloody software! I don't want a program that learns! I want a program that stays stupid!

Nuts! I'm being locked out of everything!

Now it's banned me from the kitchen! Just how dangerous does this program think I am?

Press here. It'll say.
