Andrew at the moment was content being on "auto pilot" preparing breakfast, since if he actually tried to do so, he would end up burning everything, probably. So he mentally sat back and allowed whatever was done to him, to pilot his body, but he was ready to get control back once he finished cooking. He left the breakfast plate, and a glass of juice in a tray and took it to the table.

So far, he had been considering how to get his clothes and phone back, while he was doing the first task of the day, and boy did he wonder how did he know it was his task to do (and avoided thinking of the dream where he saw a family dinner from an outsider perspective... like a maid). So when he went to the table and saw his clothes on somebody, and his phone on the table, he mentally froze, which allowed the programming to kick back and maneuver his body to put the tray in front of the person at the table. After restarting his brain, he noticed the clear femenine figure under those clothes, and the head and face of the other maid bot.

Thankfully for Andrew, after standing near the table (as a proper maid would), he was still able to freely talk, and so he did. "What are you doing? Why are you sitting there, and not helping or doing any task? Those are my clothes and phone!". The maid stopped eating and looked at Andrew, and replied in her same monotone voice (altough Andrew could've swear she had a little more emotion? or something when she talked) "Cindy, you should not bother me when eating unless it is important." She paused, and continued "My daily tasks have been assigned, sames as yours. This is my uniform for today. The device is Master Andrew's, and so I left it there. You should review your tasks for the day. My tasks are to eat the maid-prepared food for breakfast, be in my- Master's Andrew room, play games, eat maid-prepared lunch, study in preparation for school, relax with TV, eat maid-prepared dinner and proceed to the charging station."

"To be certain your programming is being patched, you will proceed to check your fuel cell and charge it to full capacity. Then you will proceed with your other tasks for the day". After saying that, the maid continued eating while politely ignoring Andrew. He was shocked that the maid called him Cindy, since that's the name he has often called her, in a way to avoid feeling lonely when there are no other people around. And more surprised that her tasks for the day were actually what he would normally do now that his mom isn't home. How the hell did she end up with those orders? He sure didn't ask her (and not like he could, anyway).

He noticed his body was moving again and walking back to the charging station, and recalled that the maid ordered him to check his fuel cell. He does not has one, how can he do that? Is this a way to make the stupid robot see that he is NOT a robot, and is, in fact, Andrew? He's hoping that the orders doesn't make him do something stupid, like eating whatever is inside those fuels. Andrew recalled once hearing his mom talk about it, how that stuff, while not toxic for humans, could give several different side effects to humans who eat that. He did not manage to hear what side-effects they were, so he is at least hopeful in a worst-case scenario.
