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. ]

So he really is inflatable?!

[There's an excitement to Gohan's voice, that's some crazy technology. If Bulma were here she'd lose her mind at the prospect of it.]

That's amazing! So he doesn't have any mechanical parts?

[Gohan's nodding along. Technology is not his preferred science, but he's still fascinated by all of this as a science nerd.]

He's got a simple bone structure and a malleable exterior, but he can still do heavy lifting? That's amazing! What happens if he gets a hole in him, can he self-repair or do you have to do maintenance on him? You said he'll need to be recharged eventually, what kind of power source does he use? [Here comes the barrage of science questions...]

Oh, a-and... he said he's a healthcare companion. What exactly does he do?

Wow... He sounds amazing!

[Color Gohan impressed. He has a basic level of understanding when it comes to robotics, enough to understand that Baymax is really impressively constructed to be able to do the things he does with the parts he has.

Capsule Corp would love to have an engineer like him on their payroll, that's for sure...]


Does he only know how to handle humans? What about animals? Or maybe people who aren't human?

[It makes him wonder what would happen if Baymax scanned someone like him, with his half-alien heritage.]

[Gohan nods along to this. His scholarly side is definitely fascinated by all this.]

Well, I think you're in a good place for that. We've got a lot of people from different worlds here, so even if everyone's human here, they're probably biologically different from the humans he's used to.
