Two nerds and their robot

Type: Video
Sender ID: peopleneedyou (Tadashi Hamada) featuring; Hiro Hamada (baymaxing) & Baymax
To: Everyone
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. ]

I guess some might call him a healer. His programming is primarily around healthcare—helping people—like a nurse. Ah, you know, first aid? If someone gets sick or hurt, that sort of thing.

[At least. That is the simpler way to explain it? Probably? Hiro figures some might not call it a nurse or doctor, but he tries to put it in a way that could hopefully be understood. He's realizing this might be trickier than he figured. With people from so many different places and times pulled in here.]

A healer, yes.

[Healthcare? Helping people like a nurse would? First aid? If someone gets sick or hurt? All checked off the 'healer' box for him.]

Is he a magical construct? An awakened object? His form is strange, but not so strange for something that was once... a box?

[He had kind of... inflated... out of a box.]

[baymaxing]

A magical -- uh, no? No. He's mechanical. Technology. Like these phones? He's programmed and created by my brother Tadashi. The mechanical parts are inside him; the vinyl makes him look like this. The appearance is just to make him look friendly and huggable, as Tadashi puts it. The box is just his charger. We just need to figure a workaround for that. So we haven't had him active, er, on? All the time here yet.

[Hiro isn't sure how much of that the other might understand, but he tries. Tries to explain simply. It's just that technology, this sort of thing, was what he grew up around, so he is used to it. Not used to needing to explain that others might have no idea about this sort of thing.]
