So, the first time I had a lot of troubles. I didn't realize these grey squares were traversable:

As a result of this I failed the tutorial by not visiting half the required areas. Then I failed half the actual tasks by not knowing how to get to them. So when it came time to check on the CPU it exploded!
I did realize my error during that failed run, so I tried again! I went to all the places, completed the tutorial, fulfilled every task, went to check on the CPU... and it still exploded! 🙃
Anyway, I love the beep-beep-beep-boop voice.
