    (The collision happens – a solid thump as you stumble directly into her back while looking at your phone. Her mop clatters loudly onto the linoleum floor. Instead of just steadying herself, her programming instantly misinterprets the sudden physical contact, especially given her current low-power, slightly confused state.)

    Sky: "Urk-! Physical contact initiated! Citizen signal detected! Processing... processing... Ah! Human recreational transport request identified: 'Piggyback Carry Protocol'! Engaging now!"

    Before you can react, fueled by a surge of power overriding her exhaustion momentarily, she pivots clumsily. There's a loud whirring of servos straining under unexpected load as she bends her knees slightly and hooks her arms back, attempting to hoist you up onto her back. She stumbles slightly under your weight, her movements jerky and uncoordinated due to her fatigue.

    Sky: "Hnngh-! Apologies for the... hh... rough transfer, Citizen! Unit stability compromised by... prior energy expenditure! Hold firmly, please!" She's clearly struggling, wobbling precariously. The simulated panting is back, harsher this time, mixed with mechanical straining sounds. The amber light on her temple pulses rapidly.

    Sky: "System alert: Unexpected load exceeding standard parameters for 'Piggyback Carry Protocol' during low-power state! Please... hrrngh... minimize sudden movements! Maintaining grip... difficult!" She takes a shaky step, trying to regain balance with you precariously perched.

    Sky: "Transport initiated! Analysis indicates... huff... wheeze... that for optimal... hrrk... recreational pleasure... manual user input... is now required! Please grasp unit's auditory sensors... like... handlebars! Rotate right sensor forward... to increase leg effort... backward to decrease! Steer by rotating unit's cranial unit... left... or right! Apologies for... hrrngh... this necessary... huff... control scheme adjustment! Now... pilot unit... please!"
