When Wheatley woke up, he tried to remember what happened.
He remembered the elevator, the announcer talking, and then...
And then... Yes, he had logged in to the computer, but why was his account an admin? And why did it call him Millard Wheatley, he was Wheatley, none of that Millard business.
There was only one way to get the answers to these questions.
By asking the computer!
So Wheatley went over to the computer and shook the mouse to wake it up, he then proceeded to type in 'ACCOUNT' and pressed enter.

He...
He could...
He could access the administrator mainframe!
Forget about being a human then a machine then a different human, he could tell the nanobots to make an elevator shaft to the surface right here!
So he did.
But when he looked at what the screen said, he felt like crying.
