Glimpse Into What Once Was

Hello everyone- pardon the bit of a mess.

[Papers strewn about, along with a few tools in view, as Turo picked up his shellphone with excitement there in his voice. Setting it down on somethin out of view as he was moving and turning out lights in an office after pushing his desk out of the way.]

As others may have been, perhaps still are, working on various pieces of technology recovered from down so deep, there was an item I discovered in Nilatast that I have finally gotten working! To a small degree, at least— I have only been able to recover one thing on it, but...

[There was an item that was the size of a jewelry box, covered in stars and constellations formed in colored enamel and shined up jewels, that Turo had picked up and was sitting down in the middle of the space he had cleared. Pressing a 'button' at the top.

It sparked to life as suddenly a still image was projected above the box; full of living color and capturing a moment of laughter and fun. The light having warmth and even those creatures outside of such large windows seemed to sparkle. Looking as if everything could be touched—]

Look at this! [Almost looked as if Turo was there, moving to sort of sit by the picture box.] I was able to retrieve the data for this image, I might have found what worked as a photo album, but the item itself came from within one of the ruined buildings down there.

They lived there, played in that city.

[Of course there weren't just human children there, smiling faces all. This was something either a parent or some child that had also been there in the moment wanted to treasure even after the day was over.]

Just a small view into what once was, I suppose.

Wonderful. I imagine some may only do well for salvage, while others may be salvageable enough to get back into working order like these two.

[The fox actually leapt up to land beside the cleaning bot, head tilted as eyes flashed as if attempting to scan the older looking bot. The cleaner bot's own head tilted, a 'hand' reaching out to sort of 'poke' the fox.

Just two bots examining one another.]

It is possible. One a little more bulky and reliable to do work like cleaning, while the other might have had to match where it was. Elegance compared to simply appearing 'friendly' in a working environment.

[baymaxing]

Maybe any that we might not be able to salvage, we can use their parts to fix up some of the others at least? I mean, assuming the parts are compatible. Once I have a better look at them, I can figure it out.

[Hiro is excited, curious as ever, as he glances at the screen, to the robots, and observes their behaviour with Baymax. He tilts his head, smiling, and he nods as he listens to Turo.]

Yeah. I'm definitely keen to come and have a look. Learn more about them.

[fractales]

At least, and at least having that means to salvage will give access to things that can be saved for whenever future repairs are needed for those gotten back into working order. A basis to reconstruct overtime as well—even if it is simply those parts for now.

[They were still working with limited resources after all; salvaging from what couldn't be repaired was still finding use.

The two bots seemed to be happy there, even a little wave again to being watched. Friendly.]

There is likely much to learn about them, even if it is part of a step in learning of what was achieved here once. I know the cleaning bot will be able to help there, and the fox-like one here will be kept around Cosmo.

[baymaxing]

I'm definitely keen to come and have a look. See if I can help out. Robots are my thing, so. I want to help.

[He says with a grin, waving back at the robot. He shifts and sits forward more, as if by pressing his face against the screen, he could transport himself to the Professor and the robots. Hiro was always enthusiastic when it came to technology, robots.]

Definitely friendly. For sure.

[fractales]

You are more than welcome to help, as there are some things I brought back up and haven't sorted through yet given the holographic album caught my attention—and these two didn't need much work to repair as the other things.

[Which was fortunate for the two bots figuring each other out on the table; perhaps they never would have run across the other in how things were. One meant for inside, the other outside.]

Something that is rather fortunate, they were purified of miasma from below.

[baymaxing]

I'll definitely help! The holo album could be neat, too. They were purified? So the water helps against it? Unless it might be something to do with the depth? The pressure?

[He tries to guess, curious but relieved that the robots were okay. That they were not affected by that stuff. He just really wants to have a look at the robots properly. Perhaps it was that the robots were new to each other. Baymax isn't new to other robots, but he hasn't seen others like this. These ones are different.]

[fractales]

There is a type of fish that can aid in clearing away the miasma that has corrupted some, along with dust from a similarly named moth. It seems to be a combination of very strong negative emotions, and the spirits of those still there.

[At least there was something that could clear it away, to work for the machines still functional if corrupted.]

It can be a little strange, dealing with that, but given these two the work has certainly shown us the level of technology that once was.

[baymaxing]

A fish? Huh. Not quite what I expected. But if it helps, that's good. Maybe if we can figure out researching it more, we can try to replicate it somehow?

[Hiro muses aloud, wondering. It has potential. Assuming they could figure out a way to replicate it. How common those moths and fish were. Maybe they could use this. He was now rather distracted, immediately considering the potential.]

[fractales]

By normal standards quite unexpected, but with how closely magic and nature ties together here it makes some sense. The miasma is likely a mess of strong negative emotions in its origin, which would be why moth of a specific moth and this fish are both able to help clear it away.

I believe we may be able to replicate it, or at the very least take a sample and reducing it down to something potent that can then be stretched out so disturbing moth or fish isn't as heavily needed.

[From there the replication could go from figuring out what made it up to some degree- magic could always be replicated in some form or another.]
