The Limits of Logic

You decide to tell him as little as possible. If you tell him everything, he is likely to send you to the psychiatrist. Perhaps you need to see one, after this bizarre day, but you decide to try to see if you can apply reason to this odd situation.

Using the principle of Occam's Razor, you try to find the simplest explanation, and then test it, before moving on to more fanciful explanations. You decide that you are most likely near home, but in an unfamiliar part of town. After all, do you know every building around? The number of robots is unusual, but this is a research facility, after all. The dead bodies on the floor of the plant, and the reappearance of one as the gardner is strange. And you don't think that you walked ten miles from the restroom in the mall. But could the bodies be an advanced form of android? Perhaps the gardner was used as a model?

As for the ten miles, that is difficult to explain. Maybe you are hallucinating. Maybe you got knocked out in the restroom. If that is the case, though, then there is nothing to be done but to stay out of danger.

But part of you also wants to get out of the building and explore, and see if you can find some clues as to exactly where you are.

You tell the doctor,

1. "I wish that this was something as exotic as industrial espianoge. I am simply lost. Where am I?"
2. "Once I am able to leave, I would like to talk to someone at the automotive plant. Someone human."
