[they might- but for what it's worth, Turo's mind is going to past times when he's had to perform maintenance on his Assistant. It's rare that he's kept them aware during it, aside from a low-power, low-processing mode so that he could receive reports, but even then, he generally just hooked the Assistant up to another terminal, shut down its higher functions, and done what he needed to do.
