i don't know if tadashi had plans with anyone that i wasn't aware of, but. he's gone. just so everyone knows. been looking everywhere. baymax's scanner seems fine and he isn't picking up tadashi's life signs anywhere here. tadashi wouldn't ignore me trying to call or message him like this.

[He knew this would likely happen. One way or another, Tadashi staying here and him going back home to Aunt Cass or something, they'd end up separated. It just feels cruel. Like he had just got his brother back only for this to happen. He can't help feeling upset. Bitter. Not as raging and furious as with Callaghan but still.

It hurts.]

but if he had anything going, i can do my best to help and step in? maybe. depending on what he might have been helping with.

[He can at least offer that much. After he's had a couple of days or so to readjust to being without Tadashi again. If that were even possible. The realization that he's alone here now sinking in. Well, outside of Baymax.]

I fully agree, and that is the want and dream that Cosmo Conservatory was created to fulfill. Rehabilitation, rest, safety, and whatever healing a wild animal might need is our goal- but also a home for those unable to leave, or having no wish to. It has been an honor helping that dream be a reality.

[Words honestly meant, that bit of passion clear in Turo's tone. Why even now he was spending so much of is own free time an stretching himself thin with this influx due to the cruelties happening in those auction houses.]

I'm no specialist with animals. But I can do my best to try and help.

[However he can. Even if he is more geared towards the tech side of things. Or using Baymax to try and help out with medical situations. Hiro is doing his best. Trying to keep busy.]

Animals, that might not be my specialty, might not be where I know a lot, but. I know tech. And sometimes that can help.

The traps for would be poachers is certainly a good way to help, more so when there has been a target posted.

[Very difficult to miss that once there had been certain upticks in... activity.]

It can help greatly, and is along the lines of what I was speaking about with your brother and hoping to ask for your help as well. Still, once you are here I will explain in better detail.

Right. I can probably come up with something. Back home, one of my friends was really big on chemistry, so I made her this handbag, and she could make all kinds of stuff with it. If I think of the combinations, I could probably come up with something. Something to restrain the poachers without hurting them, just keeping them in place? At least until someone comes for them.

[Honey Lemon knew more about that sort of thing. But if Hiro can remember the different chemicals he had in her bag and the potential combinations of them.]

Right. I'm almost there.

That would most certainly work, more so given the number of volunteers walking the grounds; they would be found sooner or later, and despite why they came could simply be gotten out no worse for wear.

[It would be something to think about, to help occupy the mind; Turo still understood that was at least part of what could be needed in the moment.]

I will be right inside of the medical building- it is just past the reception building you come in through. Unless you would like me to meet you there, of course.

Right! Yeah, I'll see if I can come up with something! Just past reception is fine, I can meet you there in a minute.

[Cue him pulling Baymax along to get the robot to speed up a bit. He really does need to work on addressing that at some point.]

I believe you will do well, Hiro- and I look forward to hearing what you come up with.

[It would be easy to spot Turo in front of the medical station once past the reception building, a feathered raptor being let go as it wandered a bit past before taking off.

A wave from Turo the moment he spotted Hiro and Baymax.]

[It's easy enough to spot the Professor, even amid the reception and everything else going on. Hiro gives a wave, approaching him when he spots the other with the raptor, Baymax following behind at his usual slow sort of waddle.]

Professor! You wanted to see me? Something you wanted to show me?

Hello, it is good to see you, and I did indeed. Hello you Baymax as well.

[Mariposa's tail wagged, a soft sort of woof in her own greeting; even while she remained there at Turo's side, eyes bright and watchful.

Turo tipped his head- Just a small gesture to walk with him. The medical center building wasn't far from Cosmo's reception building after all.]

It is a matter that only a few people know of, but I do believe you would be able to help. You are good with robotics, correct?

Hey.

[Hiro waves and greets Mariposa as well, Baymax giving his usual wave of greeting and introducing himself to Mariposa before they follow Turo.]

Robotics is kind of my thing. Yeah. I think I can help with something like that.

[Be an easy walk at least, Mariposa's tail wagging as she followed along as well. Turo simply working out how to word... well-]

How are you with working on repairs caused by simply wear over time? Or if there was perhaps some damage caused by an outside force?

[Opening the medical building's door once there, holding it open; a quiet space, and what looked like a well maintained break area in the front. A basket of fresh baked goods and what looked to be a magitech fridge likely filled with other things along with drinks.

A few couches and chairs around a coffee table.]

The reason I ask is a little personal, and I would ask that it be knowledge kept with you and the small group that do know as well.

As long as the parts are still there or enough of it is still intact for me to have an idea of what I'm working with, it should be easy enough. But if you don't want me to tell anyone, I won't.

[Hiro figures that the Professor likely has his reasons. Maybe this was more something sentimental from home or something he wants repaired. Hiro doesn't really think much more on it, just hopes that he might be able to help, as he follows the other, taking a drink and one of the baked goods as a snack.]

Sounds as if you can certainly help, if you are willing. There is a small number of other people that know, that I have trusted with this information.

[For one reason or another it had become needed, and some for his own safety. There was only so much that he could do for himself, and that others with their own knowledge could help with as well.

There was a small gesture for Hiro to take a seat if he so wished, knowing no one else was there; with the door closed no one would enter without knocking either.]

I wish I could have asked, and told you this sooner, but with everything happening lately, well.. [It fell onto this moment. Letting Hiro settle himself however he wished- and Baymax as well.

Turo did rest a hand to his chest, just over where a heart should be.]

I am not the original Professor Turo, but rather an AI based off of his own brain scan and put into a robotic body that was made in his near exact image. I was meant to Assist him when he felt he could trust no one else, and did so for some time. I was left to continue his work, after his unfortunate passing.

[To put it simply.]

The first person to learn this made it clear I should be cautious with who I tell for my own safety, but I feel I can trust you as well as any of the others that know.

You're not the....wait, huh?

[It takes Hiro a moment, to consider what the other says. It's kind of a lot. But Hiro could also see why it might be best to keep it quiet. Most here might not understand, might not have any idea about this sort of thing. Let alone Baymax who is far more obviously a robot. Not human. Hiro sits on the couch, a hand to his face as he considers.]

Alright. Okay. I won't tell anyone else. I get that others might not have any clue what an AI is. That they might get scared or something. They might not get it. Did you need help? I mean, is something wrong, you need me to take a look at you or....?

It can be a lot to take it. This is also why I put so much work into a rechargeable battery station; emergency use for myself, but also for ease of use in other magitech here.

[Given he had no idea what else to do other than carry on; he technically was the Professor, but in ways he was someone else given his time here. Even with Dojima's reassurances he was his own person... well. Even he could admit others might not see it that way.

Turo sat down in one of the chairs, just across from where Hiro settled, hands folded to rest just near his lap.]

Ryotaro Dojima, Chris, Emet-Selch, 'Cid', and Shadow know of my nature; Ranma may as well, but at the time there were other pressing matters and it might not have registered during the incident. [So that Hiro knew who could be spoken to at the very least amongst those still present in this world.] It is my being an AI, along with my power source, that Dojima and even Chris are worried about others discovering, and you are not wrong in the... understanding, possible fears. There is nothing else like me in the world I come from.

Some months ago there was an incident where I was... damaged, circuits fried in some areas due to a strong electrical current from an outside source; it nearly drained my core to a point of shut down as well. I have had some catches in arm movement since then, and I worry there may be damage that went unnoticed- or at least something stemming from it.

Alright. So it's okay to check with one of them about something. Good to know. But -- your arm? I can have a look.

[It is good to know, and Hiro makes a note about the names mentioned, before trying to focus on the damage. The arm. He does still figure that, like Baymax, the Professor would still have his own experiences, memories, and knowledge, separate from the original. Which he would reassure Turo on as well.]

Is it okay for me to have a look, here?

Indeed- Dojima has learned how to create inner wiring by hand with his magic here, if you ever have need of that.

[There was a nod, confirming it was the arm and well- it was easy to shrug off the lab coat, the material of his turtleneck stretchy enough to easily roll up his sleeve.

There was a scar-like sort of line along his inner arm, where the synthetic skin could be moved back-]

It is. I keep this place clean and no one will interrupt- if someone does come by there is a sign on the door for them to knock.

Oh? That's good.

[Hiro makes a note to contact Dojima if he needs help with that, with the wiring. He shifts to get a better look at the other's shoulder, nodding that Turo reassures him they shouldn't be interrupted. He checks the inner arm, gently inspecting the synthetic skin and pulling it back to see underneath, in case something within might be damaged still.]

It was the same incident that prompted him to learn, and practice still to help with what I might need.

[The synthetic skin was easy to pull once the seal found at least, and there amongst metal and wires that nearly mimicked human muscle in how they were interwoven and wrapped around the framing were patches of odd crystal; smoothed down and in places where they didn't interfere with movements, some even woven amongst wiring.

Turo's own head tilted slightly, eyes flickering from brown on white to a softly glowing teal on black. Huh. That had not covered so much last he had checked.

There were pieces of frayed wiring near the elbow, however, and sign where there was some damage of something getting too hot; leftover electrical damage. Some of what had worn away in the joints. Easy to miss before, given the 'burn' had been on the underside of wrapped wires.]

Yeah, I might need a bit. Practice, to learn a bit about this. Your situation is a bit different to Baymax. At least with him, I had Tadashi's notes, something to go off of.

[He might need to also check with the others, the ones that Turo has told. See if there's anything else he should know or might need. Hiro bites his lower lip as he checks, noting the crystals, the wires.]

I think I see it. Some of the wires are frayed. Maybe if I can replace those? That might help. Looks like there might have been some part around this area that got a bit hot.

I am sure he would be happy to help create wiring for anything ese you may need- and I may be able to draw up blueprints, and some notes, from memory; have not done so here simply because of the worry.

My core is something powerful from my world. [Powerful enough that it had sounded like a second person had become obsessed with the nature of Area Zero for one reason or another.

At least aside from the deteriorated wiring from electrical burns and the mess of it within the joints, things seemed fine. Even if the crystal was a little odd--]

I can imagine the possible causes. What would you need- other than the replacement wiring itself? That I have on hands due to a few of my own projects, and most tools... even if a few handmade.

Alright. Good. Yeah, I might need some help. So anything you can give me, notes or whatever will be good. Thanks.

[Hiro checks, trying to be cautious, careful, so he doesn't accidentally make anything worse as he inspects the wiring, the situation they are dealing with in what needs to be repaired.]

Mostly the wiring, I think? I have some tools and stuff myself, I can bring just in case. How long did it take to figure the wires last time? You gonna be okay until then?

You are welcome. I shall work on them whenever I have moments to sit here and there.

[It was likely what had wrapped the wires, and bits of metal from repeated movement of them with the rest of his arm getting in the joints along with just how fried the wiring was that was causing Turo's issues with his arm.]

Dojima was creating wires while the emergency repairing in my chest area was being done- it does not take him terribly long with his practice. I should be okay, and I can be mindful to be careful with this arm until repair to the wiring can be done.

Alright. If it doesn't take long, that's good. Less time for you to accidentally make it worse. But this should be fixable. And if we can figure getting a supply of wires for this or other electronic stuff down the line, that would be great if Dojima could manage that. That way we won't need to wait. You won't be waiting. If you are sure you are gonna be alright until then.

[The wiring being fried does worry him but that could be fixed. He's used to working on mechanics, on robots, between his bot fighting, his microbots and Baymax. He just has to focus on the task at hand and not worry too much about Turo.]

He would likely be happy to help there, as the more he makes them the better he will continue to get. Likely good practice for his metal manipulating magic here. [Given the man had been learning various ways to help in that way, since he couldn't really help with repairs in a more technical sense.]

So long as there is nothing that will cause further stress to the area, or further electrical mishaps. I can monitor my own systems to some degree to at least help manage that until repairs are done.
