((It's a joke mixed in with the serious question of motivation. He's clearly sentient by any definition of the word- why does he choose to do what he is told to do? From what I gather, he pretty much controls everything, including the main guns of the ship. If he wanted to piss off and do his own thing, why couldn't he?))
((Some possibilities:
1. He doesn't want to.
2. He's programmed not to.
3. He's programmed not to want to.
4. His minds can't agree on much except following orders.
5. He's afraid of reprisals should he do so.
6. He likes being in charge of a ship.
7. He's bored.
8. He's being rewarded.))
