immediately starts trying to run diagnostics on his memory, trying to pull up any sort of video or audio that might be stored in his memory banks prior to his “arrival” at this point in time
His diagnostics don't reveal anything in particular. He had expected to wake in a new world, but also that it would be technologically advanced and full of other robots. The last thing he remembers is taking the pill that Gisigu gave him, then his body turning into liquid, feeling weightless for an indeterminable time, and then waking up here in the robot body.

Using his ability to Map, he scouts for any sort of formations, materials he might use to build things, and anything else useful.
There are trees of various densities, up to one more rare tree with wood as strong as carbon-steel. There is some redness in the dirt and the stones around a rocky outcrop which seems to be iron. A variety of other minerals are present.
After wandering around for a few minutes, he hears a motor whirring from overhead some distance off but moving in his direction. He catches a glimpse of a large helicopter about the size of a football field with multiple copter-blades and apparent gun turrets, missiles, etc. It seems to be flying toward him.
