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. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I have added Iron Bundle to my database. Does Iron Bundle feel emotions? [ Baymax clearly doesn't understand yet, that this creature isn't actually a robot. ]

I'm more interested in building things to help people, so if you ever need a hand with items of convenience, just let me know. Hiro and I are hoping to get our computer and 3D printer soon, and I've had some practice in using machines to create parts by hand. [ Those two electronic devices are one main reason Tadashi was hoping for an external solution to Baymax's charging station. ]

Our schedule is pretty open today, so we could come by after lunch.

They do, and Iron Bundle has been enjoying themself here- even if they get distracted easily at times. [For now? For now the shellphone and Baymax had the Pokémon's attention at least. Kept them to one spot.]

I certainly will, as more hands are often better than a single pair- more so when it comes to actually creating prototypes of a certain size. Running initial tests before open testing as well. [Flashlights were working out well so far- but needed better designing for some, possibly--]

After lunch would do well, I have free time around then and will be within the clinic.

Is Iron Bundle a creature or a robot? [ It looks like a robot, but having emotions confuses Baymax. ]

We certainly know a few things about running initial tests. [ He looks at Baymax. ] Baymax and I went through eight-four of them before he could scan me without running into problems. It was a lot of late nights.

Then we'll be there.

Technically, Iron Bundle could be classified as both. A living creature that has basic needs, but has evolved to a point of having a robotic body and is in some ways stronger than the creature it possibly originated from. [There was so much that was fascinating about the Paradox Pokémon from the future. What their existence could possible mean- many mysteries around them as a whole.

... their presence were something of a comfort, whenever Turo allowed himself to think about it.]

I am sure that it was. He seems rather remarkable, the work and time put in shining through very well.

I look forward to it.

How did he evolve from a living creature to having a robotic creature?

[ This feels like important knowledge to Baymax, if he is to understand Iron Bundle. And Pokemon, in general.

Tadashi, on the other hand, is standing here watching Baymax expand his data like a proud creator. ]

I definitely couldn't have done it alone. My knowledge of medicine doesn't extend that far.

I only have theories, given that Iron Bundle and the other Paradox Pokémon are from a distant future. It could be that technology and biological life became intertwined out of necessity due to environmental changes, or the pokémon adapting to better suit changing needs.

The mystery as to how they came to be like this was part of why I found their existence so fascinating.

[A hand rested there on top of Bundle's head, that visible 'smile' with the way eyes lit up noticeable, along with a happy digital trill-like honk.]

Many helping hands can certainly better extend the reach of a project, the amount of data used. There were many hands and minds working together within the crater once, but they moved on once a way to harness energy was created. Still, it's always nice to see just how far something made can go.

[... even if he wondered if there would be any pride in him, what he'd had to do.]

I am not programmed in Pokémon creatures, but if you require assistance, I could scan your Iron Bundle and other Paradox Pokémon.

[ It's basically all of the scans a hospital could do, without all that waiting or other necessities. ]

Yeah, I'm hoping that Baymax gets the chance to help a lot of people. How many are still investigating the crater now?

[ People got something to play with, their interests took them away. It does happen. ]

I would welcome the assistance, given I am the only person here who can look after them. Unique biology, and is part of my wheelhouse.

[A reason he fell into looking after the wildlife here that needed it, the time taken on other islands and for those that ended up at the animal sanctuary he helped Nanaki open. He still held so much passion for it.]

Hopefully he does. For the last several years it has only be myself, as the area is dangerous most are not allowed past the Zero Gate at the top of the crater. It takes some special permission, given that. The pokémon are my only company, really.

We can introduce Baymax to the Pokémon when we come see you later.

[ Feel free to teach Baymax all that might be required to look after the various fauna just in case, Turo. ]

Guess everyone really left to explore their own projects, then. I thought you'd have a couple of assistants or colleagues, at least.

I will certainly have them on me, that is for sure.

[The fun of Paradox Pokemon and how they worked- much to teach, and something he could easily do-]

They did- I do believe one of them became director of the Academy Paldea is so well known for just a year ago. Most were not interested, believing what came of the research into Terastal Crystals and creating the Tera Orb was the most to be gotten out of the Crater. I do not blame them- [How could he? He wasn't—] -given they had dreams outside of it.

My work, my dream since childhood, was the Crater and discovering all of the mysteries of it.
