Warnings: Not that I can think of?

[Hiro is out on the Island with Baymax. A much larger Baymax, or at least, he looks it, wearing new armour. Hiro is clearly the one recording as he turns the camera from Baymax to himself.]

It's ready! I think. I'm pretty sure. Doesn't he look awesome?! We can probably fly again! Baymax, test out the rocket fist.

[The camera points back to Baymax in the armour. The fist that isn't connected to the shield/barrier at his arm comes forward, and he aims it, firing it and showing that it works, to Hiro's delight. Hiro whoops and leaps in his excitement.]

Okay. Now flying.

[Baymax activates his rocket boots, showing that he can hover and control it before he goes higher, doing a circle above Hiro before landing again.]

Yes! Yes! This is awesome! It works! It finally works!

How did you do that?

It must have taken a long time for you to make it.

[baymaxing]

yeah i've been working on it off and on for a while now. took a bit with figuring everything i'd need for it, adapting stuff to work here with the magitech. it's a bit different to what i am used to back home.

[scooba]

Did it take you a long time to adapt to the magitech here? I'm trying to figure out how to use it myself.

[baymaxing]

it's taken some adjusting. i'm still learning more, but. i guess cause i'm used to tech back home, it wasn't so difficult. really, just the magic aspect of it is new to me. so it's not as huge an amount to learn as it might be for some others.

[scooba]

I see because I was wondering how I could use it. I've been trying to learn how to fix or make use of the technology here too.

[baymaxing]

yeah? if you want to come over, i can try teach you some of what i've figured. professor turo's helped me a bit too.

[planetwhisperer]

Oh. You gave him... armor.

[He was no longer soft and huggable.]

[baymaxing]

Doesn't it look sick? I'm glad it's finally finished. For now. I may end up doing more upgrades later, but. Don't worry, he's still the same Baymax. I just figured this way, he's able to help out more. And we can get around easier.

Re: video;

[planetwhisperer]

Uh, yeah. Yeah! He looks real..sick!

[She was trying to be enthusiastic? Haha. But also she really hoped 'sick' actually was a good thing here. It felt weird to her.]

Oh, okay. So he can really fly now? And, hmm, what else can he do with his new upgrades?

video;

[baymaxing]

Yeah! Sick, you know? Awesome!

[He assumes she gets from the context that 'sick' is good. A lot of things he talks about or knows might be a bit new to people here. But Hiro was getting more used to that. To trying to explain. He grins and nods at her questions.]

Yeah! He can fly! And the rocket fist, too. And this time he's better protected, I think. Because he's inside the suit like this. I think this works better. Compared to his last one. I just had to figure some adjustments, with the magitech here.

Re: video;

[planetwhisperer]

[Well, at least Hiro was excited about it. She smiled softly.]

You've done this before? Back in your world. What was it like that time? Why did you do it? What does Baymax think of it? Wasn't he created for...something else?

[Sorry, that was a lot of questions. Her thoughts just kind of got away from her.]

[baymaxing]

Yeah. Back home. Tadashi was the one who initially made him. I made him a suit and programmed him with some martial arts moves to help us catch this guy who stole something of mine. And after he got lost in a portal, I rebuilt Baymax using Tadashi's notes. And the original healthcare chip Baymax left me.

[He explains, as Baymax approaches and waves hello to Aerith.]

Hello. I am created as a healthcare companion. Even though Hiro has programmed me with -- martial arts -- I will not use it to harm anyone.

action; bc I can!

[pinksidekicking]

[ Nimona has been out of the picture flying above in the sky while Hiro introduced the flying bot to the world, circling overhead - she does move out of the way when Baymax takes his maiden voyage to be out of the shot. Then the pink bird comes down to sit on Baymax's shoulder. ]

Does that mean we can flying together now?!

action ahoy

[baymaxing]

Yes! Yes, it works!

[As Baymax lands, Hiro all but bounds over, grinning as he turns off the phone's feed to not potentially make anyone nauseous from the video recording as he climbs up on Baymax's back, holding on with his own new suit.]

Well, let's give him a proper test ride.

Very impressive armour, as that's what I guess you made that's new.

How did you manage to make your companion fly when he's so big?

text; id: baymaxing

[baymaxing]

rockets in the boots. the prototype of that i made a few years back for my cat. these are the same idea, just. bigger. and with the armour. i did have to make some adjustments with the magitech here, and upgraded the look more.

[notatyrant]

For your cat? Why would you put rockets on your cat?

Is your companion a fighter?

[baymaxing]

i thought it would be fun. wanted to see if i could make them. plus, you should have seen tadashi's face when he woke up and saw mochi!

well, his programming means that baymax can't actually hurt anyone, but. i figured at least this way, he can help keep me or anyone else safe. so i did add programming some martial arts into a chip for him.

[notatyrant]

Mochi is the cat?

You made yourself a bodyguard then. It seems like he'd be able to do a lot to keep you safe.

[baymaxing]

yeah. poor mochi's been putting up with me forever at this point.

exactly! i told him, he wants to keep me safe and healthy, right? so. fighting!

[Percy looks amazed by Baymax, honestly.]

That's so cool!! How long did it take you to make him?

[baymaxing]

Right? He's awesome! I'm glad it looks like it's done! But ah, I've been working on the new suit for him for a bit. Probably a few weeks. A couple of months or something like that. I think. It's just a matter of figuring adjusting to using and working with the magitech here. It's a bit different from what I'm used to back home.

[Understandably. Given Hiro's home doesn't do magic. He's more specialized in robots. Technology and science are his thing. Not so much magic, that tends to stay in the likes of comics and video games or the like.]

[judoflipped]

Yeah, it's different. I had to get the tattoo thing to get my abilities to even work.

[and that was weird enough on its own.]

So what, you got a robot battle buddy now or something? What's he for?

[baymaxing]

I don't have any abilities or whatever. Just my big brain, as Tadashi always put it. And how I gotta figure a way to put it to use. That isn't bot fighting and gambling, hustling people. Which. I'm trying to be better now.

[Hiro says with a shrug. He's never seen the need to lie or hide about his past. What he used to get up to. He still has some moments, especially with Nimona, where he might occasionally fall back into his more mischievous side. But it's never anything that malicious.]

What's Baymax for? He's my personal healthcare companion. I just made some upgrades, is all. With him being able to fly again, we can get around quickly and more easily help out if someone gets hurt. And he can, you know, keep me safe, with his martial arts.

[judoflipped]

Hey, you don't have to have abilities. One of the coolest people I know doesn't, back at home.

[that would be his mother, obviously. and Rachel, before she got possessed by the weird fortune telling mummy.]

Healthcare companion? Huh. Never would've guessed that from all the armor, but that's pretty cool.
