The last thing Wheatley ever expected was a spaceship--well, that's a lie, because he doesn't exactly expect what happened next, either. Some kind of alien craft is one thing. Being plucked out of lunar orbit by the pilot of said craft is another thing entirely, not that he's complaining. Space was getting pretty old, after all, and he can't say he's going to miss that corrupted core. Though the experience is a little frightening, and he most certainly yells a lot while being brought on board, he decides after some consideration that this is a risk he's willing to take.
(Not that he has much of a choice.)
He learns very quickly that the orange robot piloting the similarly-orange ship is not, in fact, a robot, but a woman inside a robot suit. This is somewhat alarming to him, as it's technology he hasn't seen before, which means he's instantly a little suspicious (does it have an AI inside it? Does it talk? Can he meet it?). Still, he doesn't want to seem ungrateful, as he imagines she could dump him right back out into space if she so chose, so he does what he does best.
"--And, uh. That's about when you came along! Wanted to thank you for that, by the way. For picking me up. Giving me a lift. If I--if I haven't mentioned that yet. Really got me out of--out of a bad spot back there. Don't know what I would've done if you hadn't shown up, ha."
Running his "mouth". Is what he does best.
"Probably, ah. Probably would've just drifted out there. Aimlessly. Forever. You know--you know how it goes."
