WALL-E.04

On the Axiom, it becomes apparent that the ship's human passengers have suffered from severe bone loss and become morbidly obese after centuries of living in microgravity and relying on the ship's automated systems. The captain himself does little, leaving control of the ship to its robotic autopilot, Auto. I follows EVE to the bridge of the ship where the captain learns that by scanning EVE's plant sample with the ship's holo-detector as a sign of Earth being habitable again, the ship will make a hyperjump to Earth and allow its passengers to recolonize the planet. However, Auto secretly has the plant stolen as part of a final directive given to keep humanity in space when life on Earth was wrongly deemed unsustainable seven hundred years ago.
With the plant now missing, EVE is considered defective and taken to the robot repair ward along with me for inspection. Mistaking EVE's inspection for torture, I breaks free and tries to save her, accidentally releasing a horde of malfunctioning robots and designating himself and EVE as rogue robots in the process. Angry with my disruptive influence, EVE brings him to the escape pod bay to send him back to Earth. There they witness Auto's robot assistant, GO-4 placing the missing plant inside one of the pods, which is launched and set to self-destruct with me inside. I escapes unharmed with the plant and reconciles with EVE, celebrating with a dance outside the Axiom.
The plant is brought to the captain, who surveys EVE's recordings of the devastated Earth and realizes humanity must return to restore their home. Unable to reconcile his directive with the captain's epiphany, Auto stages a mutiny and tasers while I tries to protect the plant
