Well, you're so ahead of yourself you have time to ponder the ending a bit, don't you? I shouldn't worry too much about trite - you may be a lot of things, but rarely if ever trite!
You've bought yourself a little time. Would it help to draft alternate endings? Also, just spitting it out, I find, sometimes gets me going. Thinking ahead doesn't answer all my questions. It's in the doing of it that I manage to thread my way through obstacles.
Just a couple thoughts.
I've fantasized about one of those bots. You like it?
Don't we all...fear the trite, I mean. It's better to fear it than embrace it (it's a shame that cop-out endings are quite popular in fiction with mass appeal.)
A prolific young writer called Zhoen, Couldn't see where her novel was ghoen; Then one character said, "I'd be better off dead." Now her creative juices are fhloen......
Every time I catch myself being trite, which is too often, I back up and stop writing for a while. I think all writers fear that more than just about anything. Good for you for persevering, Zhoen.

Moby does look worried. I would too with that 'bot' doing it's stuff!!
What will you feel like when you have found the end?

If you roll it over and tickle its stomach, does it go BIDDI-BIDDI-BIDDI? If it doesn't, I'd ask for your money back.

Just an idea.
