1
00:00:00,609 --> 00:00:03,170
(drums bang)

2
00:00:03,170 --> 00:00:05,245
- All right Hawk, let's hunt 'em down.

3
00:00:05,245 --> 00:00:10,162
(drums bang)
(Rover whirs)

4
00:00:13,761 --> 00:00:14,987
(machine beeps)

5
00:00:14,987 --> 00:00:15,913
(machine whirs)
Oh.

6
00:00:15,913 --> 00:00:17,460
(man laughs)

7
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:18,621
You made this?

8
00:00:18,621 --> 00:00:20,210
(bells chime)

9
00:00:20,210 --> 00:00:21,800
- Damn right!

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,300
My name is Lance Corporal Malik Pew,

11
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:27,210
2831, satellite repair,
United States Marine Corp.

12
00:00:27,210 --> 00:00:28,630
I fix satellites.

13
00:00:28,630 --> 00:00:31,160
Not satellites in space, but
the ones we use to communicate

14
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:32,230
with the ones in space.

15
00:00:32,230 --> 00:00:34,370
And, when they try to
mess with my work horse,

16
00:00:34,370 --> 00:00:35,330
I got to get it back together.

17
00:00:35,330 --> 00:00:36,720
So, every now and then,

18
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,373
sometimes I had an operator error

19
00:00:38,373 --> 00:00:41,440
or, you know, they just
getting kind of old.

20
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,300
Sometimes, you know,
there's fittings loose,

21
00:00:43,300 --> 00:00:45,900
or we got just one of our
components is messed up.

22
00:00:45,900 --> 00:00:48,273
And I got to identify which one it is.

23
00:00:48,273 --> 00:00:49,106
(men chatter)

24
00:00:49,106 --> 00:00:50,830
I was going to try go to
college to be an electrician.

25
00:00:50,830 --> 00:00:52,320
After trying that for about a semester,

26
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,390
it just, it wasn't the right place.

27
00:00:54,390 --> 00:00:56,480
I didn't even walk into the
Marine Corp office first,

28
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,910
I walked into the Air Force,

29
00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:59,853
but the Marines still managed to get me.

30
00:00:59,853 --> 00:01:01,591
They just had a better atmosphere in there

31
00:01:01,591 --> 00:01:03,040
and I felt like that was the place

32
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:04,036
for me when I got in there.

33
00:01:04,036 --> 00:01:06,786
(parts clanging)

34
00:01:10,170 --> 00:01:11,670
I grew up on an Air Force base

35
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:13,890
cause my dad was in the military.

36
00:01:13,890 --> 00:01:15,330
With that, you move around a lot

37
00:01:15,330 --> 00:01:17,870
and it's kinda hard to
make friends sometimes

38
00:01:17,870 --> 00:01:20,770
cause everybody's always
leaving no matter what you do.

39
00:01:20,770 --> 00:01:22,560
I only went to high school for two years.

40
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,830
I was homeschooled for a portion of it.

41
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:25,790
I didn't really get the chance

42
00:01:25,790 --> 00:01:27,140
to develop some of the social skills

43
00:01:27,140 --> 00:01:29,190
that a lot of kids get
when they're in school.

44
00:01:29,190 --> 00:01:31,930
So it was kind of lonely doing that.

45
00:01:31,930 --> 00:01:33,760
And I, I feel like they
gave a lot of drive

46
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,290
to me wanting to build some
sort of robotic companion.

47
00:01:38,290 --> 00:01:39,850
Senior year, I ended up making

48
00:01:39,850 --> 00:01:42,760
like a whole set of armor
for a costume contest

49
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,580
that had lights, a sound system,

50
00:01:44,580 --> 00:01:45,500
and all kinds of other things.

51
00:01:45,500 --> 00:01:47,600
And then I made a portable X-Box.

52
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:48,570
And I built a Rover.

53
00:01:48,570 --> 00:01:50,240
I have a little camera system on it.

54
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,580
Those things help people
get to know me that way

55
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:55,480
and really opened up
that companionship thing

56
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,229
I was looking for in the first place.

57
00:01:57,229 --> 00:01:59,040
I would love to have things

58
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,080
that I make just help
bridge gaps for people.

59
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:03,663
(upbeat music)
