Well the time-frame you'd have to poke around and figure things out in would probably be a small one. [Give the bots a rebellion and they'd probably be pretty quick about squashing it down. Mal has no delusions that this rebellion he has in the works will succeed, quite the contrary.
But that isn't the point, is it? Winning has never been the point with Mal. It's the fighting and the trying. And maybe, just maybe, with Helix's knowledge of computers they could come out of it with at least a little something to give them a better understanding, and maybe a little more hope at getting control of this place in the future. Winning isn't always a sprint, it can be a marathon of battle after battle, getting ahead a little at a time.]
