Subject: Meet the Hamadas and Baymax
Warnings: None

[ The video post starts up to reveal the faces of the Hamada brothers, along with what looks like a red suitcase beside Hiro. Their location isn’t anything special, just somewhere inland on Elrut right now, but the elder brother is smiling anyway. ]

Hello everyone, I’m Tadashi Hamada and this is my younger brother…

[ Tadashi motions to Hiro. The younger brother waves, smiling, and turns his gaze from Tadashi to the phone. ]

I’m Hiro! And this… [He gestures to the suitcase next to him before purposely pulling off a plaster from his knee. His ‘ow’ in instinctive response activates the robot inside, causing Baymax to inflate and turn on, introducing himself with a wave. ]

Hello. I am Baymax, your personal healthcare companion. I was alerted to the need for medical attention when you said ‘ow’.

You’ll be seeing Baymax around one or both of us often, so we wanted to introduce him and ourselves. I’m also interested in finding out if anyone had a temporary charging solution seeing as how I haven’t come across a power outlet anywhere yet. [ Tadashi holds up the power cord on Baymax’s charging station for anyone who hasn’t seen anything like it before. ]

Yeah, I’m not sure if the technology here is necessarily compatible—at least, not without some adapting or figuring on our part. Baymax is the priority. Even if it would be cool to actually use my handheld, it won’t die on me eventually. Tadashi and I were both pretty good with tech back home, but this might take some adjusting.

[ Hiro says, a puff of air from his sigh shifting his mess of bangs before he raises his hands in reassuring Baymax that he was fine given the robot approaches and wants to check him over. ]

On a scale of one-to-ten…

[ Tadashi chuckles as he moves to end the video recording for the post while Baymax tends to Hiro. ]

Mehrak isn't with me right now, but I will be sure to pass on your regards.

[Mehrak is of course with Kaveh. Or currently charging. One of the two, either way. Point of the matter is that the toolbox is not with him.]

Oh, right. It's a picture. I wasn't sure if it was them with you. Sure. Tell them I say hi. Baymax, too. It'd probably be good for them to meet and for him to make some new friends.

[Still. The more friends and allies that they make in this strange new place, the better. He figures by Tadashi being Tadashi that the other would probably make more friends than he would, but Hiro doesn't necessarily mind that. As long as they manage to build up some support.]

I'm sure you'll meet in person eventually.

[The older of the two did say that they know about Kaveh after all... so in all likelihood Kaveh will see them again eventually. His senior goes around far too often to not end up bumping into somebody he knows, even in a place like this.]

It mentioned that it is a 'healthcare companion'. What does that specifically entail?

I have. But ah, Tadashi can probably go into the specifics more. But Baymax can look after someone if they are sick or hurt. He's programmed with all sorts of procedures and medical information. And lollipops!

[Clearly important. Can't forget the lollipops.]

[...lollipops are a strange, specific thing but okay.]

I see. [So it acts as the first line of defense for injury and illness... its hard to not see the benefit of such a creation. Kaveh will certainly be all over it.] I assume the design is also intentional.

[It does look very... squishy. Which, he supposes, doesn't matter too much, since its not built like Mehrak to withstand the conditions of the desert, but still.]

Oh, yeah. Tadashi was going for a friendly, non-threatening, huggable kind of look. You know. For the kids, Baymax might treat them at hospitals or something, I guess — that sort of thing.

[Hiro says with a shrug but smiles as he glances at Baymax. It took him a bit of adjusting to having Baymax around. Now? He can't imagine being without the other since Tadashi's death and how much Baymax has supported him. Believed him. He had to make the most of it by finding the chip again and rebuilding the big walking marshmallow. Hiro wouldn't have it any other way. But of course, the conditions in the city were decidedly different to accommodate the sort of environment that might be dealt with in the desert.]

[Alhaitham does at least understand enough of design to grasp the concept of non threatening designs, which he can see how this Baymax fits the bill. Doubly so since children had been mentioned... he can see how they'd respond positively to this.

And also once again Alhaitham can only imagine how Kaveh would be like once he gets to see this for himself.]

The both of you intend to continue down this path, then.

[More of a statement than a question, but its out there, either way.]

I mean, we both want to do what we can to help. Whether with tech, with something like Baymax, or helping people who get hurt or sick. But, uh, you'd need to talk to Tadashi. He's the one who made him.

[Hiro knows how Baymax operates. More or less. Given he also used Tadashi's plans and concepts to rebuild Baymax. Not that he has told Tadashi about that. Yet. He's not sure how to begin to go into all that. He isn't sure if he is ready to.]

[Hm. Alhaitham was under the impression that Baymax was a joint project between the two of them. Hiro at the very least seems just as familiar with Baymax as his brother.]

I will do so. [...] Are the both of you in different fields of study?

Ah, well. I guess we're both interested in science and technology. Robotics. Yeah.

[He's at least figuring Tadashi probably remembers about the showcase, or at least that Hiro was keen to go. He purposely hasn't gone into asking what the other brother remembers last back home. Isn't yet sure how to go into all that. But he figures saying that much at least wouldn't give anything away. Probably?]

[...well if they're in the same field then it makes things even more confusing...

But he supposes its not his place to pry, nor does he have any intention to do so, anyway.]

I see. Then I wish the both of you the best of luck in continuing your work here.

I guess we'll see how we go here. It might initially take some adjusting before we figure out how to adapt to things here. I need to figure out how to adapt to charge Baymax. Or to figure out how we might manage to help repair maybe or make some new technology or the like here.

[Hiro might have his way of doing things. His preferences and style with his bots. But that doesn't mean he and Tadashi don't generally want the same thing. To help others.]

There are more than enough riftfarers around that tinker with the technology here for you to ask. The Paladin archives on Elah may also have some books on the subject.

[He already told this to the elder sibling... and while normally he doesn't like to repeat himself he supposes its fine here. Just to ensure both siblings are aware.]

Archives? That might work.

[Baymax nods at the idea. He is at least quite used to Hiro getting absorbed in his research and projects, his assignments, and the like. This would hardly be anything new. He would have to poke at Hiro to remind the teen to eat. Or rest and sleep. If he gets too distracted.]

[Alhaitham would continue to try and make suggestions but Kaveh has promptly taken over the conversation instead, so.

Go talk with the pretty blonde man, Hiro. Everything will be made clear in time.]

To clarify, the Adamantine Forge may be a good place to start. I also know a few names of people...a lot of riftfarers are interested in magitech, especially since so many of us use power in different ways.

Baymax looks pretty friendly, so I'm sure the locals will like him just fine.

I'll have to look at that Forge then. Thanks for that. I should probably look more into this magi tech. It'd probably help a lot to be more familiar with it, given that I'm used to working with tech back home. Tadashi and I could probably help a lot more if we had a better idea of things here in comparison to what we are used to there.

But yeah. Tadashi was going for a non-threatening, huggable design. I guess he was thinking of the potential times Baymax might be working with kids.

[...Like Hiro is not one still himself at fourteen. But he is obviously considering younger children with that comment. Given Baymax giving out lollipops and all.]
