At this time, Mettaton has some help to hack a door! It hasn't happened yet, but I'm dropping this comment in preparation for the thread's direction.
(1) About as long as it takes to hack it. (2) By relaying what he's dealing with and getting Pidge's assistance. (3) It's a random door, but probably a bigger one. Not a smaller one.
This is a bit of an aside question since Pidge expressed interest in knowing more about "access to the ship itself" and what data that yields, and Mettaton is okay with looking if she pays him a compliment. (Really basic motivation.) I'm not sure if he can actually find anything by doing this, but I figure it's worth mentioning that he'll try. In particular, is there any data he can access about...
A. Some understanding of what might be found behind the doors in the ship (such as a directory of rooms or the like), B. The size of the ship, C. Why the ship is stopped here, D. Indication of what the mysterious sound is, E. Anything immediately available to Mettaton, such as logs or easily identifiable "interesting" information.
