Warnings: None that I can think of immediately?

[Hiro is tinkering away in his dedicated space to work and research, Baymax observing nearby and apparently attempting to help clean up a little. The teen speaks as he works on something or other, notes next to him.]

I was thinking.....I know others here are also...uh, I guess, inventors? We should help out, work together? I know there've been times when we've needed to like, dive and go underwater, right? I've been thinking if I can come up with something to help with that? It's just a matter of coming up with ideas. What might work? Diving is fine, but even that only gets you down so far. And you'd have limited oxygen with the tanks....Maybe some sort of machine you can go in? It'd have to be tested and stuff. Make sure it's safe. That it could handle the pressure.....I dunno. If anyone has any suggestions, ideas? I've dealt with making suits for other stuff, but not so much the water. That kind of makes things a bit more complicated. Maybe something like a drone for underwater? So we can look around to be sure of whatever we might find, and then go down after.....?

[He ends up more sort of spouting off ideas to himself more than anything, and Baymax glances over at the teen, telling him that he should go and take a break. Get some rest and something to eat. Hiro does have a tendency to get rather distracted and focused on his plans, his work, and ignoring anything else.]

Okay, okay, bud. I'm coming. Um, yeah, let me know what you guys think?

[Hiro says before giving a wave and ending the video so Baymax will stop telling him to take a break.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'm not really an inventor but I can fix machines.

Does that count?

Close enough? I can let you know if I need a hand?

Yes, that would be good.

I know I can't make anything as strong as Baymax but I'll give it a try.

You don't have to make anything that complicated. I mean. Even Baymax, who wasn't just Tadashi. He worked alongside medical professionals and staff to get all the information he'd need for Baymax's programming. That took forever.

[Well. Forever to a fourteen-year-old. Details.]

Besides, the more of us helping, the more likely we are to figure something out that can help, right?

I suppose so...

[Somewhere, in the back of his mind, he can hear Father telling him to stop being closed off and talk to other people. Even after being here for so long, it still seemed like a difficult task...]

...I do have experience with diving and with my vision, I can hold my breath for longer periods of time. I never need to build an oxygen tank but I could give it a try.

I dunno how far down we might need to go. I'd still say you should probably have some gear. Just to be safe. If and when we go down there, I mean.

[Even if the other could hold his breath for longer than most. That didn't mean he would manage to get all the way down. Plus, that wouldn't account for the pressure, either. Hiro just wants to try and help and make sure people are safe if they go down there.]

I'll try to find as much gear as possible. Hopefully I can manage to find something down there.

Once I figure things, I can let you know? If you wanna help with supplies? And then we can get started, I guess.

[He might just need a day or two. To finalize whatever plans. Figure out what he might need. And just go from there. Hiro doesn't mind having help. He's used to working with Tadashi over the years. Even if a lot of what he's been doing here has been alone, not everything he's worked on is just a result of his ideas and work.]

Oh uh...any supplies you need right now? I can go and get them?

[He might as well if he was doing this mission.]

Um. I can get started on a list and message you in a bit. If you're up for getting some things I might need.

[Hiro wouldn't say no to the help. If he can figure a list of what he might need. Once he has an idea about what he plans on making.]

Yes that would be fine. Let me know when you got it.

[Which was a relief for Freminet. A mission with a task? That he was used to.]

Sure. I can send you a list once I have it figured. Probably mostly just some more basic materials, cables/wires. If you need help with that, you can talk to Professor Turo. If I recall, he knew someone who could help with that sort of thing. Maybe a small light? Just for now, off the top of my head. I might think of more in a bit.

Okay. I’ll do my best and not let you down.

If something isn't available yet and has to be ordered or something, it'll get here eventually. It's fine. Or I can figure out something for an alternative that might work instead. Just let me know if you can't get something on the list.

[Hiro could probably figure out an alternative if he has to. He is used to making do if he has to.]

If worse comes to worse, I can try to make it. I know there is a limited amount of resources but I can still give it a try.

[Which said item may or may not work but...!]

Yeah? Just let me know if you have any trouble. We'll figure it out. I'm sure between everyone here, we can manage more or less what we'd need.
