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. ]

[ He ruffles Hiro's hair. ]

I did have help creating Baymax, particularly in all of those medical procedures he knows. My knowledge only goes so far on that, so I contacted a doctor. [ To expand on what Hiro brought up about talking to doctors. ]

I'd love to have Baymax help as many people as possible. In hospitals, nursing homes, patient homes, and in places too remote to have a good healthcare system. He isn't meant to replace doctors or nurses, but assist them. Healthcare is such a hard occupation in my world, so I wanted to do what I can to help with that.

[ It's why he decided on creating Baymax in the first place, to be a friend and companion to people in need. He does get the worry, however. Which is why Tadashi has to work out any problems that might occur. ]

Can you guarantee every Baymax have the same desire to fulfill their function? I don't think you'll be able to mass produce them here, but even just the prototype is probably more knowledgeable about nonmagical healing than the average native doctor.

(They bite their lip thoughtfully.)

I could see him being helpful with patients who are afraid of non robot people.

[peopleneedyou]

I designed him to care for his patients, to learn and grow how to best take care of them, and I wouldn't settle for having him replicated without that. [ Said firmly enough. ] No, making more of him will be difficult to do here, but there still are other things that I can do and make to help people.

[ A thoughtful hum. ]

That's why I made him as huggable and non-threatening as I possibly could. I thought that maybe, one day, even kids will love seeing him.
