As
WALL-E travels through space clinging to the ship carrying EVE back to the
Axiom starliner, he runs his hand through the
Rings of Saturn in passing, and dislodges a tiny rock. It gains enough momentum to become a
meteor and crashes into and destroys one of the running lights (known as "spires") on the
Axioms hull. The
Axioms computer alerts the ship's autopilot, AUTO, that repairs are needed. AUTO activates SUPPLY-R (Spare Ultra Plottic Pandron Yorth Ranger), who in turn activates BURN-E (Basic Utility Repair Nano Engineer). Given his welding torch and an intact spire, he
shuts down the broken spire, and travels via a special track onto the ship's hull to complete the repair. However, he gets distracted by WALL-E's arrival, and inadvertently lets the spire float away into space. SUPPLY-R gives him a second one, but he accidentally cuts it in half when an exploding escape pod (which WALL-E was inside of) startles him. Irritated by this second failure, SUPPLY-R drops the third and final spare light on the floor, leaving BURN-E to pick it up. He successfully repairs the light, but before he can bring it online, he is accidentally locked out by WALL-E and EVE, who fly inside after their dance in space around the
Axiom and close the door behind them. BURN-E tries to find another way in, including through the open garbage
airlock, but the door is closed by a WALL-A (Waste Allocation Load Lifter:
Axiom-class) unit before BURN-E can reenter. Finally, he realizes he can use his welding torch to cut a new entrance in the hull of the
Axiom, and does so. However, he is flung back outside when a fight between Captain B. McCrea and AUTO causes the ship to list violently to
starboard. He catches hold of the spire, and is able to get back on his track as the ship turns upright again, but EVE inserts the plant into the Holo-Detector, which sends the
Axiom into a
hyperjump, pinning BURN-E against the hull before he can reenter the ship. When the
Axiom lands on Earth, BURN-E goes to find SUPPLY-R so he can hit the button to bring the spire back online, but everyone is gone. He hunts through the deserted
Axiom, and finds the humans and robots are all outside when he looks through the window of an escape pod. He accidentally jettisons the pod, and crashes to Earth; flinging the pod door open so hard that it flies into the air, he runs to SUPPLY-R and finally brings the spire online, only for the door to destroy it, and BURN-E collapses in frustration. After the credits, SUPPLY-R tries to comfort him. == Cast ==
