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.]

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.

Metal? That could be handy. I might have to ask about that.....!

[Hiro muses, more to himself than to Turo, as he checks the other's arm over, making sure it does seem like it is just the wiring for the most part. That there isn't anything else he is worried about or misses.]

Alright. Yeah, just try be careful until we can get the wiring, I guess. For now.

Metal, and he has been able to shape it in various ways; better at some shapes than others. It is how he makes wiring.

[Other than cleaning out bits of debris from the burned wiring everything seemed good. Even the odd patches of softly glowing crystal.]

I will. At worse I can manage a sling and give the outer excuse of a strain if I end up needing a more visual reminder.

Gotcha. I could use something like that. It'd definitely be handy when working on Baymax. On his insides. If anything happened to his cables and wiring.

[Hiro can't help fretting. If something happened here. It isn't home. He doesn't necessarily have the same materials he might need. To be able to figure out fixing him if he needed to again. He tries not to dwell on that, to focus on the task at hand. On Turo. He tries to reach in and gently remove some of the debris.]

A sling isn't a bad idea.

Indeed; it is not easy to find here, most components like that do need to be made, and at least Dojima may be able to help tailor him easier. I do not doubt he would help you and Baymax on that matter.

[Did know how hard it was for Turo after all, and part of the man's continued practice was to make it easier. Simply had to get the appropriate metal into his hands.

Turo did keep his arm still, the bit of debris easy enough to work away.]

It can be easy to explain away as well, given how active I tend to be here at the sanctuary. Hands on with the animals and then some.

I could think of plenty of other stuff working with metal might come in handy for. At least, in relation to technology. But yeah. You could just say something happened with one of the animals and you hurt your arm caring for them or something?

[Hiro is used to getting hurt. He and Tadashi had numerous incidents growing up with their experiments sometimes over the years. He tries to be careful, using tweezers to get some of the debris out.]

I think that's looking a little better. But yeah, we gotta talk to Dojima about the wiring.

More so in a place like this, and it is the first magic he went with here. [So he had a good hand with it at least.] I could- easily with us having such a influx, and some of them are very large. An accident where I perhaps... pulled something, or anything along those lines would work well.

[It could happen at times when working with large animals- a reason he had been made so sturdy, given what pokémon as a whole could do; then the paradox pokémon were so much stronger... Still, an easy reason for those that believe him only human.

Better for what movements would still be needed there-]

Your help is appreciated quite a bit, and Dojima may have some relief with how he worries just to have a talk at all. You can imagine that my health is... complicated to say the least, no matter the environments I was made to exist in safely and endure.

I'm sure you can figure something to tell everyone about your arm. Just be careful with it in the meantime while we figure replacing the wiring. I'm just glad this isn't too bad. It could be worse. This is pretty minor, really.

[Just a bit more complicated, without his usual tools and supplies. But nothing that difficult. Especially if others were aware of Turo's real identity and were willing to help. Hiro doesn't mind.]

I think this is the best I can manage for now. I think that's all the debris out. Until we can figure the wiring.

Given it has taken this long for a problem to arise, I am certainly grateful for it to be minor- and to know someone I feel I can trust to help. I also know what it likely stems from, and the area greater damage was taken likely should be given a look over when there is better time. [He could piece together a sling easily as well, just a bit of fabric and it would work well enough.

Would also remind him to go a little easy on the arm as well.]

I thank you even for this much. I will let Dojima know- and of course if you have any questions those can be answered any time. You are also very welcome simply to come by here, be it to help or take a break.

[Cosmo Conservatory was good for that after all.]

Course. You just let me know if anything else does come up with you needing a hand with your arm again or anything else. I appreciate the trust for this. The vote of confidence. I know what it's like. To uh, keep quiet about something sometimes.

[He says, considering that he was trying to keep quiet about the whole superhero thing. To not let his Aunt find out and worry. Hiro can understand keeping secrets. To not worry others. To try protect them. Or even himself. He just wants to help out.]

I shall be sure to, and I will remind Dojima to speak with you if it slips his mind simply due to work here. With so much going on... well, it happens. [From detective to sanctuary warden, more or less.] Mm, and I know the worries that come with certain secrets. I know those here worry for mine simply because... some people would try to use me- or they are worried someone may try.

Just remember I am happy to help in turn, however I may be able.

I get that. I can get distracted too, sometimes. I know some people here might....not understand. Be curious or scared. It could make you or Baymax a target. I don't worry so much about Baymax since he's usually with me. And I know you have everyone here to help keep an eye on you.

[Hiro is glad at least that most of the time that Turo has others nearby. That would make it harder for anyone that might consider him a target. That might be scared or curious and looking to take advantage of the situation.]

I know. I appreciate it. If I need anything, I'll let you know.

Distraction can come very easily. At least with curiosity some things can be answered, while fear... can become much more violent. I suppose a few of them worry others might treat me as less, simply because I would no longer be a person in whoever's eyes. I do hope Baymax has been treated well, and I know you do. Being 'friend shaped' working in his favor.

[Some 'illusion of humanity' broken, or him simply... not being who he was made in the image and mind of. A tricky sort of line between Baymax being a friendly shape and Turo made to purposefully look as if he was someone. He was never meant to be known to the world.]

Even if just for a quiet space.

You and Baymax might not be human, but you still have your own personalities. You're still your own people. You're still important in my eyes. But yeah, the design is supposed to be 'non-threatening' and 'huggable'. It helps. People have been curious, but nobody has tried anything to hurt Baymax or anything.

[Hiro says as he finishes checking the arm as best he can for now, ensuring that the wiring is covered again until they can repair and replace it. It's probably easier for Hiro to accept something like this. When he is used to robots. The idea that some might look more human. Unlike what others here might be familiar with back home. He gets a sling from the supplies for the animals, hoping it might fit and work in the meantime.]

Here, try this?

I am... very glad to hear you say that, given past conversations- a reason I felt as if I could trust you with this. [His head tilted slightly-] I look as I do as my creator, the original Professor Turo, felt as if he could trust no one with his work; no one but himself- so he made me, knowing he could not continue working alone.

Of course hearing no one has tried to hurt Baymax is good- he is very kind and thoughtful.

[There was a nod as Turo took his good arm- after letting the synthetic skin move back together in that nearly undetectable seal. Sleeve rolled back down as he moved the sling to where it should work, the strap over his shoulder-

Did work rather well, keeping the arm supported and- well, still.]

I do believe this will work well.
