A/N: to answer the question, the roles are reversed many reasons. Because it's dull to see a male engineer save day, and because Chriss Pratt is to buff to appear helpless and geeky. There is more but read on and we'll see will I make it work.

No beta so I apologize in advance.

Arthur was a machine and not a self-sufficient machine. Aurora knew that all too well. It was forbidden to make androids self-aware, to give them a possibility to make decisions. The prospects of that were proven to be quite devastating for humans. But that didn't mean that other computers were capable of making decisions in dreading situations.

As months passed by to her horror, Aurora became aware just how computers, who can't make their own decisions but are programmed to deliver instructions to the letter, can be terrifying. For some time now she was acutely aware that she won't be allowed to survive her trip.

Even if she manages to trick her pod to put her back to cryo-stasis she wasn't sure that it would let her wake up. Walking out of air-chamber seemed like an elegant and beautiful dream, something she could control. Going to sleep not sure will she awake was more terrifying. She was at mercy of Avalon. The ship could just cut her air supply, she wouldn't even flinch in her dream. It could turn gravitation off and then on letting her fall over and over again until she dies.

For most of those things she was quite sure that are forbidden, but there were always go-arounds, especially if Avalon has instructions to end her as soon as her job is done.

Arthur was aware of that as much as her lunch machine, but he had a human face and she could yell at him without feeling too crazy. It was maddening to deal with Avalon. It seemed to her that giving instructions through Arthur seemed more merciful than to drive around the ship by automatic interfaces which offered no reply or justification.

That's why she hacked him and gave the ship a voice. That was the worst mistake she ever made. Now she felt paranoid and delusional because data which came out through android were just mad.

Before she made Arthur talk to her interfaces led her throughout the ship and instructed her what to repair. Soon she was sure there was no terrorist attack. No one had woken her up for some mean reason. The ship, Avalon, woke her up to repair it.

But the ship didn't know how to explain it to her, how to ask for help. It just turned lights on and off and led her in the right direction turning on automatic displays near places where the damage occurred. As interfaces spoke of this or that side of colonial life, style of clothing for different areas or just need for exercising on the journey to keep themselves in shape, she would knock on the metal, lifted plates with the help of small machines that followed her around, or cut through the wall.

Soon it became transparent that the damage isn't caused by human intervention but by an asteroid strike. They must have gone through some sort of an asteroid belt.

Who in their right mind would drive straight through an asteroid belt? The universe was huge, it was freakishly big. If anyone sat behind that wheel she would turn and go around it, but no, the ship was automated and computers had no way of deciding even simplest tasks like avoiding really big rocks on its way.

But the question that bugged her was why was she awaken? If the computer didn't have any way of deciding and planning, why her? How did it know she'll have all the expertise she needs to fix all those problems, and malfunctions were various? From heating, through to lighting, cooling and life support. If she hadn't been very good at her job they would all just die out here when all those small damages would pile up one against the other.

That's why she rewired Arthur knowing that his android brain which was made for seemingly meaningful interaction with his customers. He could keep up an illusion of a conversation. She hoped that his ability to interpret data in a way humans can respond to will allow him to form Avalon's instructions into coherent sentences, from which she'll find out why she was chosen.

What she found out was more unsettling that following hints and changing lights.

So...
